| Sjalk | Hello, Xubuntu support. I'm a non-techie Linux user with superficial knowledge and experience of Lubuntu, Xubuntu and (much less) Debian. I know these flavors far better than modern Windows, though. For a week or so, I've been experimenting with Xubuntu Minimal 24.04 LTS, a.k.a. Noble. In general, I've fared well, but troubleshooting, when rarely needed, has proven very hard. | 04:52 |
|---|---|---|
| Sjalk | I have failed to find web pages with Minimal documentation - detailing what missing packages (ones available in normal Xubuntu) commonly cause problems for Minimal users. | 04:54 |
| Sjalk | Any URLs pointing to Minimal FAQs or tutorials would be appreciated. | 04:56 |
| Sjalk | My greatest concern so far has been that Xubuntu Minimal 24.04 is not capable of mounting my three external hard disks, all of which have NTFS file systems. My NTFS USB flash drives mount fine, and the ext. HDs work fine on two other computers, which have older versions of Xubuntu (non-minimal) or Lubuntu. | 05:03 |
| Sjalk | I’ve read numerous help pages trying to find a cure. So far, "Error Mounting, wrong FS type", on Arch Linux forums, has been the most insightful, but even that one has not provided any concrete solution. | 05:05 |
| Sjalk | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=298521 | 05:05 |
| Sjalk | While I do plan to use exfat for my ext. HDs in the future, it would be nice to know more: e.g. see if simply installing a package or two would fix the mounting problem in short term. | 05:07 |
| Sjalk | The error message is of the type, "The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /run/media/res/46E82DD634F08774: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error". | 05:08 |
| Sjalk | Addition: I think I might have just found a piece of info that is closer to the real problem than what I linked above. | 08:23 |
| Sjalk | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/2062972 | 08:23 |
| -ubottu:#xubuntu- Launchpad bug 2062972 in ntfs-3g (Ubuntu) "ntfs partition does not mount with linux 6.8 and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED=n" [Undecided, Confirmed] | 08:23 | |
| Sjalk | I'll need to reboot to test. I might be back later; apparently my timing arriving here was not ideal. Bye for now. | 08:25 |
