Public bug reported: I reported this in SEPT 2024 to the ASKUBUNTU page and noticed some other user reporting the same problem. All recommendations offered by senior users were tried, but none solved the problem. On "FILES", I click on "OTHER LOCATIONS". The app shows all the drives available on the system. I click on my 2Tb HDD (or on any USB stick inserted) and I get this msg: UNABLE TO ACCESS LOCATION. ERROR MOUNTING (drive address), WRONG FS TYPE, BAD OPTION, BAD SUPERBLOCK OF (drive addr). MISSING CODEPAGE OR HELPER PROGRAM, OR OTHER ERROR. I am using Ubuntu since release 15, maybe even before, can't recall my first installation. Never had this problem before. On both U24.1 & U24.04 the same mesg is displaied. In U22 & previous releases, I never had any problems with the drive. If I use "DISK" I have the same problem; with "DISK ANALYZER" the drive is reported as UNMOUNTED and impossible to MOUNT it. I have now a dual boot with U22 + U24. If I now boot on U22 I can read/write data to the drive without any problems. This all applies to any installed USB stick. Just installed now 4/JAN/2025 a new Ubuntu 24.10 hoping to see this bug clear, but this bug is still there. I see that this bug is reported for many months on ASKUBUNTU web page. How long does it take to get a bug in the system fixed?
