Mounting other devices

#1 Post by Lieve BE »

Hi,
New to this forum. I also plugged an iso on usb into the pc for the first time to get acquainted with MX-Linux.
It looks good and I would like to try out some more things, such as connecting my other drives that are in the pc.
MX-Linux sees them but when opening it asks for a password.
Is there a dummy password or something like that for this live version?

Screenshots of version and the question:

In a live session: user password = demo
root password = root
MX defaults to sudo, so it's likely that you are being asked for the user password.

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Thanks a lot.
It works for most drives, except this one, is an old drive:

At this point you need to post the output from the QSI utility. The Quick System Info (QSI) utility is located in MX Tools and its output is automatically formatted for use here in the forum. Run the QSI utility, click “Copy for Forum” at the bottom and then just paste it here in your thread.

It could be this:

Code: Select all

Memory: 7.7 GiB used: 6.26 GiB (81.3%)
In a live session, there's no swap space configured, based on your ram usage there may not be enough memory left to mount that drive.

edited to add:If the problem drive is the Seagate ST3250310AS, then it could be as much as eleven years old and may no longer be operating properly, See here:

HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Ok, thanks, that's clear.
Time to replace the drive with something more recent!

Today an new start with live-usb and the drive "OPSLAG" was mount properly, but other drives are not visible anymore.
I hope they are visible when installing MX Linux on the SSD :whoknows:
Thanks for the help anyway !
