I just figured out why it does this today. You are supposed to enter the name of the folder you want the drive to be mounted in under /media, not the entire directory path itself. For example, if I want my thumb drive to have the mount point /media/thumb, I enter just "thumb" in the mount point field.
The error message is telling you that you can't have forward slashes in the mount name, but I agree, it is very cryptic. -- nautilus refuses to mount a partition after manually setting new mount point https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218788 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
