Re: OT -> F$%I#@ Android decided not to show contact names...
If you log into the web for gmail and contacts, are they there? If so, worst case restore the phone and reimport settings. I pick up lots of random weirdness in every phone I've had, eventually it seems necessary to just start over. Much like windoze... I always seem to lose a bunch of contacts between upgrades, every vendor loves to set their default preferences to anything but what you want it seems, so stuff seems to slip away for me every time with users bound only to a local storage mechanism, or lost among one of another half-dozen accounts on the phone. I wish there were better options other than diligence. -mb On Sat, Apr 27, 2019 at 5:23 PM Stephen Partington wrote: > I would suggest you look into nextcloud and some of the contact sync tools > there and see if you can leverage that.

Re: OT -> F$%I#@ Android decided not to show contact names...
Thanks! I don't believe I have lost any contacts. All the names and number that I remember are there. The problem is that contact's names are not displayed in incoming calls, and it's a pain to screen calls... :( ET Michael Butash writes: If you log into the web for gmail and contacts, are they there?

Having trouble mounting an external disk
hi guys & gals bought an external usb3 disk, Western Digital 3 Tera-bytes. my Ubuntu try's to automatically mount on /media/david (david is my user name) which is the standard mount point for all of the other external disks i have tried successfully (Toshiba, Seagate). The error code is "unknown filesystem type "exfat". I found it by looking at the "My Book" dir under the /media dir using the "Files" app. i'll certainly go the wd web site unless you guys have a remedy. david -- David López --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: Having trouble mounting an external disk
exFAT is a new FS type to handle larger disks. (Windows format) Answer likely here for you. You'll likely just need to do the following commands sudo apt install exfat-fuse exfat-utils On 4/28/19 5:07 PM, David Lopez wrote: hi guys & gals bought an external usb3 disk, Western Digital 3 Tera-bytes. my Ubuntu try's to automatically mount on /media/david (david is my user name) which is the standard mount point for all of the other external disks i have tried successfully (Toshiba, Seagate).

Re: Having trouble mounting an external disk
Also note, While Linux does have an ExFat option. the Linux ExFat is very different than the Windows ExFat.
