USB Drive "The location could not be displayed"

I am using debian stretch and gnome. When I plug in a usb external drive with four partitions (including ext4, ntfs, fat32) they are mounted automatically, but when I click on any of them in files or dolphin, this message is received: The location could not be displayed. You do not have the permi

Re: Joey Hess is out?

Debian's mailing list had a sharp edge back in the 90's, the last times I inhabited them for much time. And it still does. If it means anything, Constitution or not, the Gentoo mailing list in its heyday was the epitome of civility, in comparison. A breath of fresh air, and none of the arroganc

New install from DVD (via USB flashdrive)

After many years, I have finally gotten a working Debian install. It looks ok, but there are a few issues. The installation media handling of wifi-connections was not transparent, but it worked fine. I had to NOT configure the wifi connection, after signing in to the router. I was unable to con

CUPS: jobs stop printing until reboot

Hello: I have finally broken down and installed CUPS, which seems to work pretty well for two printers, an HP PSC2175 and a Brother HL1440. However, I have run into a few rough spots. Besides driver issues for the HP, I have a problem that has happened often enough to start to bug me. As men

Nikon Coolpix 990 USB with kernels 2.6.X

Can someone correspond about how to use photopc and xphoto (no debian package I think) to communicate with this camera over USB? Somewhere along the line, a package is mentioned that would set the permissions for the usb devices in /proc/bus/usb/, but that package isn't any longer available ei

Printing with Mozilla and Firefox

When trying to print from Mozilla or Firefox on a friend's Debian box (which started from a Knoppix 3.4 install a couple of months ago), the print dialog lists some printers, including "lp@:64". I had gotten printing working by installing magicfilter and lpr about three weeks before, so I was d

ftp "reget" via netscape?

One of my reasons for not liking web browsers is their handling of FTP. Almost always, if a file transfer has been interrupted, it is necessary to restart from the beginning. However, on my sid machine, at home, I was able to ftp a partially completed file, and the ftp process restarted, didn't
