Public bug reported: Affects: hal (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: Medium Status: Needs Info
Description: I've been trying out dapper for a few days, and I've been using my usb hdd with music on it to listen to music while I'm on the dapper computer. But when I fired it up today and inserted the hdd the icon that apperas on the desktop got some weird characters in it (I can't type them here, so I'll attach a screenshot), instead of the normal "37 GB Media" that its usually called. It also got mounted at /media/<strange name here> instead of /media/usbdisk that it got mounted at yesterday and the day before that. I really hope this is just a bug in hal or gnomes media manager or something, and that my filesystem hasn't been corrupted. I've tried listening to one music file and playing one the first few minutes of a movie I had on there, so it seems like its working, but I have lots of things on that disk and it would take too long to check it all. Here is the relevant output from the mount command: /dev/sda1 on /media/D"??H?$ type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8) And here is the relevant lines from dmesg: [4295621.292000] usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 [4295621.408000] scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices [4295621.408000] usb-storage: device found at 3 [4295621.408000] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning [4295626.411000] Vendor: FUJITSU Model: MHT2040AT Rev: 0811 [4295626.411000] Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00 [4295626.413000] SCSI device sda: 78140160 512-byte hdwr sectors (40008 MB) [4295626.413000] sda: assuming drive cache: write through [4295626.415000] SCSI device sda: 78140160 512-byte hdwr sectors (40008 MB) [4295626.415000] sda: assuming drive cache: write through [4295626.415000] sda: sda1 [4295626.765000] sd 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda [4295626.767000] usb-storage: device scan complete [4295628.197000] FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!
