USB Stick Does Not Work In Linux Mint 17.10

When I insert a blank DVD-R or CD-R I get an error message stating "location already mounted" and I cannot burn anything on the disk. Drives will read disks with content already burned onto disks. I've been researching this for some time now and haven't been able to find a solution but there appears to many more out there experiencing the same problem. I am using Mint 17 32 bit. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello to all. I was having trouble mounting an NFS network share (on a NAS) on Arch Linux running on a Wandboard. This is a small dedicated headless system that has one function - running Logitech Media Server (LMS). The Linux implementation is called SqueezeOnArch (SOA).

I found a solution: The NAS (a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+) uses NFS version 3, and Arch Linux requires the rpcbind service to mount an NFS3 share. With rpcbind started, I can mount the share. But the problem is that the SOA implementation of Linux doesn't start rpcbind by default.
Now I need to figure out how to make sure that the rpcbind service is enabled and started at boot, or at some point before the share is mounted. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance

Hi, So im quite new to linux and im not surprised as iv tried before to check it out and failed then (old computers problem) but i decided to have another go on a new comp recently.

UEFI mobo
Nvidia geforce 770 as output.

I need a duel boot of win7 & mint. Win7 is installed.

UEFI has caused me so many problems its just beyond me ! (i had never heard of it before i brought this comp)

booting Mint from a cd/dvd works fine.

booting from a USB fails with a blank or locked up screen at the first mint logo. (many tests with dif methods of creating live USB)

Installing mint with grub over the top of win boot loader fails , i get no options to choose between win & linux it boots straight to linux and then fails (same error as above)

I have a small SSD with win7 , there is not a lot of space on it so i want to install mint 17.1KDE on a different HDD.

After a month or so of reading testing reading testing etc i ended up getting mint installed on partitions i created on secondary HDD but i had to keep the windows boot loader in place and use easyBCD.

However now i get the choice of win7 or linux and windows still actually works (breakthrough ^^) BUT linux just crashes at boot (at the first logo) and then the monitor looses all signal?


I am soo frustrated. Mint will run of a CD but i can not get it to work in any other way , please help

Thx.

Since I have not found a solution to my intermittent boot problem I'm thinking of reinstalling Linux Mint, switching to a different Linux distribution, or turning back to the dark side, i.e. Windows. This was my first Linux install and I was really impressed with the OS and the applications. I like Linux Mint but I want a reliable computer and if I cannot even get it to boot properly then that's a long-term concern.

The problem with a reinstall of Linux Mint is that I don't know what to do differently. I don't know what, if anything, I did wrong the first time. Of course, switching to a different distribution is also a crap shoot since I don't know what went wrong with Mint. I don't really want to go back to Windows but it's been a stable, reliable OS for me for years.

Anyone have any advice?

Hi,
I made some little applications with qt creator and i wanted to run them on an embedded linux board (linux 2.6.24). To transfer the files i use a SD card. If i move the applications to "/bin" after having mounted the SD card and then "chmod a+x" them then i have no problem running them.
But if i mount the SD card and try to run the applications directly in the folder where i mount it i have an error : "Permission denied". Also when using the command "ls" i notice that if i keep the files in the mounting folder and try to "chmod a+x" them, the modification don't happen. They stay "greyed" and don't go "green". (I don't know if this color code is a standart for linux terminal but maybe this could help you understand the problem).
When mounting the SD card i use the command :
Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/SD

So the files are located in /mnt/SD.

Am i missing something or is it not possible to run something like that ?

EDIT :
I tried "mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/SD" to chnage how i am mounting the SD card.

Still "Permission Denied".

With "ls -l" i can see that the permissions are staying :
-rw-rw-rw-

Even if i try something like "chmod 777".

It seems to be a problem related to the fact that the sd card is formated as fat32 but it must stay like that.

Hello - This is my first interaction with Linux. I recently purchased a Raspberry Pi 2 and am running the full version of Raspbian. I intend to use the Pi as my PLEX media server however I have been unsuccessful in mounting my NAS. I've read a number of guides on how to accomplish this but have been striking out on all accounts. I was hoping someone could help me with what information I should be adding.

NAS - Synology Diskstation DS212j - 192.168.5.195
Linux device - Raspberry Pi 2 - Raspbian - 192.168.5.186
Router - D-Link DIR-655 - 192.168.5.1

I've been accessing the Pi via ssh on my MacBook PRO - 192.168.5.188

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

I'm quite new to Linux, and after a lot of trials ended up with Mint Mate (dual boot with Win7). I've been using it for a few weeks now with no real problems.
However, I've just transferred my system to a new pc case. The only alteration I made was to change the sata connector cable from sata 1 to sata 0. When I tried to boot to Mint I got screen after screen of errors (all unintelligible to me). I tried the recovery boot and got even more screens of errors. I did once get a desktop showing but it wouldn't actually do anything. So I'm now unable to open Mint – it just says there is an error on the disk drive.
Thank goodness for Win7! That opened first time, no problems – and continues to open fine (and I can access and copy files from there).
Obviously after such a catastrophic experience with Mint I'm going to always stick with dual boot. Unfortunately I'm now very reluctant to trust Linux with anything important – though I do want to go on using it for internet access. Can someone recommend a really stable (but easy to use) Mate distro please? Thank you.

I get kernel panics and computer shut down when trying to install and run Linux Mint 17 Mate and Linux Mint 17.1 on an older HP laptop. The laptop is a Pavilion dv 5140 with 2.0GHz AMD Turion chip, 2.0 Gigs ram and 120GB hard drive. Linux is the only software installed on the computer. Yet, I think my problem is probably related to the hardware? Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this situation? Thank you.
