Where do I mount a USB drive, so Dolphin lists it?

Hello everyone,

I have created /mnt/usb as a mountpoint and mounted my usb with mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb, but Dolphin does not list it. Where would I have to mount my usb, so Dolphin lists it?

2

Check in Doplhin at the bottom where devices are listed.

3

It doesn’t list it, when I mount it as specified above. I have tried a couple of times already and also tried refreshing Dolphin.

4

So you can see the device from within konsole? What provides

mount
5

I can see it is mounted correctly with mount | grep sda1, yes.

6

What filesystem? You also could show us

mount | grep sda1
7

Exfat, so I can go print documents with it.

8

Who is owner of /mnt/usb? Used chown already?

9

/dev/sda1 on /mnt/intenso type exfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,iocharset=utf8,errors=remount-ro)

10

Not, the user with the xorg session :laughing: Ok, I think that might be it. Let me try.

11

Use

sudo chown $USER:$USER  --recursive /mnt/intenso
12

I am logged in as root in my console.

chown -R $USER:$USER /mnt/intenso
chown: changing ownership of '/mnt/intenso/RĂĽcksendezentrum.pdf': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of '/mnt/intenso': Operation not permitted

Now, I am bluffed.

13

Used “sudo”? Could be also that some files are created from within Windoze?

14

No, Windoze here, Sir haha

Also, no sudo. I use doas instead, but I shouldn’t have to since I am logged in as root?

Same error with doas

15

I would try again as normal user with sudo. Or have you manually changed permissions on the folder or specific files? Please provide

ls -la

on the folder to verify permissions.

16

Installed sudo, tried with a normal user and got the same error. Uninstalling sudo again.

17

Maybe you have to unmount first.

Unmounted, changed permissions to same user as the desktop session, remounted and still no listing in Dolphin :thinking:

19

Remove ~/.config/dolphinrc and restart Dolphin.

No changes. Tried twice.
