I have a sansa e260 and I am running Ubuntu 8.10. The sansa must be switch to USB mode MSC.
After connecting the sansa 2 USB devices appear in nautilus but nothing more. So we have to make the system that it is mounting the device correctly. Make a new directory: <code>sudo mkdir /media/sansa</code> Check which devices are used by the sansa with: <code>sudo fdisk -l</code> Now we have to edit the file /etc/fstab <code>sudo gedit /etc/fstab&</code> And put the following line at the end of the file, assuming that the first drive of the sansa was found at /dev/sdf1 with the fdisk -l command: <code>/dev/sdf1 /media/sansa vfat rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0</code> After editing the file /etc/fstab you have to reboot because this is a static table. You can also try it by hand with <code>sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdf1 /media/sansa</code> If you want to mount it as normal user use the tool pmount. Normally this is not installed on the machines. <code>pmount -t vfat /dev/sdf1 /media/sansa</code> Normally that's it, now the sansa icon should appear on the desktop after connecting the device. Don't forget to unmount the device before disconnecting. Unfortunately I experienced some problems that it looked that the sansa was just mounted as read-only. The reason for that was that some files were corrupted. So I connected the sansa to a Windows system and issued the command: <code>chkdsk /F e:</code> Now it worked fine on Ubuntu as well. -- sansa mp3 players not mounted when plugged in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236422 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
