I suspect that your local disk access issue may be permissions if you
changed uid between the installations.
That should be easy to check for:
ls -l /media/dick/a857c2f6-6e1a-4afe-9d6e-8109105a740
Do you own any files there?
That drive used to be the only drive on a machine back in the days of
12.04, so it has all the 12.04 system files on it. I did drill down to
/home/rsteff and found that all of the files there are owned by user
dick. (I usually use rsteff as my user name, but didn't this time. I'll
probably go through the learning curve of changing the user name one of
these days.)
If you do not own the files an directories and you think that you
should, you can do it this way:
sudo chown -R $USER /media/dick/a857c2f6-6e1a-4afe-9d6e-
8109105a740/someDirOrFile
I'm familiar with chown -R because usually, when I copy files from
another machine, they end up being owned by nobody:nobody, although I
haven't ever used $USER. I'll try that the next time. I'll describe
another solution to the copying problem in a minute, but oddly, files I
copied that way from the 16.04 machine to the 18.04 machine came through
owned by dick, rather than nobody.
Then, you can try if your access to the disk is any better.
Today, when I turned the 18.04 machine on, I didn't mount the 482 GB
drive right away, but followed a procedure I got from the Ubuntu MATE
community. Here's the process:
On the 18.04 machine:
1. Open *caja*
2. Click *File - Connect to Server...*
3. In the *Connect to Server* dialog box select *Windows share* as *Type*
4. Enter the *Server* name
I was successful using either ENU-2 (the name I gave the machine)
or its IP address.
5. Enter *Share* (name)
For this I used Public, which is a folder I shared on that machine.
6. Remove the */* from the *Folder* field
I skipped that the first time, but then realized I needed to remove
it, otherwise this process would try to look at the root folder.
Indeed, I got an error message when I tried that.
7. Enter the *Domain Name* (usually or if not really configured *WORKGROUP*)
Here, I have the domain set to HOUSE, so I used that.
8. Enter *User Name* and
rsteff
9. Enter *Password* valid for the share
rsteff's password on ENU-2
10. Check *Remember this password*
11. Check *Add bookmark*
12. Enter a *Bookmark name*
13. Click *Connect
*After doing all those things, I got a Caja window looking at the Public
folder for user rsteff on ENU-2, and successfully copied files from it.
As I mentioned above, they came through assigned to user dick on ENU-1.
**
After doing that I mounted the 482 GB drive. It took a long time to show
up in Caja, and I heard it crunching. I don't know for sure what it was
doing, but eventually it finished, and I could look at files there.
Hope it helps,Tomas
Yes, thanks.
