virgo89 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 In linux to open files outside your /home directory, you need to be root. To open the file with the proper permissions, in the terminal type "gksudo /etc/fstab" (without quotations) and type your password when prompted. Then you should be able to add that line to the bottom of your file. After that you'll be set. :) The only user is still just a user.You need to open that file as root, or use sudo to tell Linux to authorize you to execute that command as root. sudo gedit /etc/fstab (Y) Sorry mate. I still have to log-in to access the external. And no auto-mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted January 17, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 17, 2008 What does that line look like in your fstab? It should have an "auto" and maybe even "user" as options, if I interpret this information correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
