Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.
Post all problems with getting USB Hostmost working on different USB peripherals here.
It is Beta software but has been proved to work by numerous people on here so its mostly a case by case problem. The developers are getting mighty P*ssed with winey posts and duplicate questions on the other thread. |

Before you mount, however you might need extra packages (that may/may not be available in maemo) for write support.

I don't have any NTFS drives, so I can't test, but it should be possible to mount /dev/sda1 /mnt in terminal and open it in filebox

The bigger problem is that when i try to open a file I get for jpg / pdf - file format not supported, for music / video - file not found. Any ideas? P.S. http://talk.maemo.org/archive/index.php/t-17811.html Any one looked on this? |
Re: Thread for problems getting USB hostmode working.
@esthreel: This is basic mounting knowledge for linux. You have to give rights to the user (since you run the filemanager as 'user').
you first need the id of your user and users group: to find out, enter: Code:
id user now, as root: Code:
mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/ntfs -o uid=29999,gid=29999,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 Now, you should be able to access your files from the file manager. Good luck. |
