You should mount a partition (sdc1), not a disk (sdc).

Thanks dude, but i have another problem...
when i m mounting the part the partition [sdc1]...
or another mp3 player, i can't delete/edit files...
the permissions are for root only.
i need asolution... it's anoying to konqueror in root mode.

man mount, the whole first part and the filesystem specifics for fat and vfat. Mandatory reading.

SmarterChild · 2008-09-01 10:01:54

the problem isn't solved.
someone can tell me how can i mount a memory stick with normal permissions?

Thanks.

Doesn't HAL take care of mounting for you?

mount -t vfat -o gid=users,umask=0002 /dev/sdc1 /media/mp3

I have a similar problem trying to mount my Sony Ericsson k750i. I used to plug it in using its usb cable and it was auto mounted.

Now I get the following message from dmesg:

usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7
usb 5-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 5-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8
usb 5-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 5-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9
usb 5-2: device not accepting address 9, error -71
usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10
usb 5-2: device not accepting address 10, error -71
hub 5-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2

I tried rmmod uhci_hcd && modprobe uhci_hcd which I 've found in google but with no result.

I think it has to do with the kernel upgrade.. Any ideas how to solve it?

I was dealing with a similar issue just yesterday... the trick I found was to rmmod ehci_hcd, but don't reload it afterwards--just leave it unloaded. Then reinsert the thumb drive and see if it gets detected properly. The downside to this is that it will only operate at USB 1.0 speeds. I do think it's a regression within the kernel and from what I've seen plenty of people are complaining about it.

I tried rmmod ehci_hcd but again I get the same error message.

It must have been a month ago when I last connected my phone to the usb port and at that time it was working fine. If not the kernel something else broke it.
