After searching around the forum, I failed to come up with a solution, so I registered in hopes that someone can field my question.

I'm trying to connect a LaCie usb drive to a desktop with X3. It connects to my laptop with X3 without a problem. However, on the desktop Xandros can't seem to find it.

The file mannager shows a removable disk, but when I open the drive it shows the mesage: "Please insert a disk into the removable drive."
The /var/autofs/zip.1 directory is empty (I'm used to seeing /var/autofs/zip.1/zip.1). Also, the /disks/Removable directory has a cdrom.1 and floppy.1 file, but no zip.1 file.

Going into the control center, under hardware information-devices-usb devices, the LaCie drive shows up.

Can anyone suggest where to go next? Thanks.

[malagigi]

hmm, the drive is not empty, more like 3/4ths full.

Thanks though.

[XandrosAdminAJ]

Try booting with the drive attached or unattached, which ever is not what you've tried and see if that helps.

I've tried both, and no go both times.

Thanks though.

Can you connect other USB devices to the desktop computer? If the laptop sees it, a USB problem with the desktop seems most likely. Probably posting the results of dmesg (run from a console) will help understand what's up with the usb - the last part of the output is what we'll need to see. You'll see some usb relevant content.

The other thought is to login as root on the desktop and see if you see anything with this drive. Possibly, there is a permissions problem with the drive (the desktop user cannot access if because it does not have the rights to do it).

Logging in from root doesn't allow me to access the removable drive. Also, it seems I can't access flash drives either. I can access a digital camera through digikam, so the USB hardware seems to work.

However it looks like I'll have to table this. The desktop is my inlaws, and tomorrow my wife and I leave. Thankfully, using a removable drive isn't intergral to my inlaws needs, I'd just like everything working the way its supposed to.

Here's the whole kit and kaboodle from dmesg. Figgured I'd leave no stone unturned.

[malagigi]

another wrinkle:
When I put a CD into the drive the file manager pops up, as normal, but besides idenitfying the disk in the left hand side it simply says, 'Please insert a disk into the drive.' The same happens in the floppy drive.
I can play a DVD on xine, but Xandros can't tell me what files are on any disk.

Most unfortunate.
