On my xo, my usb drives are not visible in the journal. I mean the icons at the bottom of the journal are not visible. However, to my surprise my usb drives(pendrives) are mounted and I can access them from the terminal. I have tested it with 3 pen drives so I don't think its due to my pen drive. Moreover, these pen drives are not even visible in the objectChooser widget when I invoke it through any of the xo activities like write or paint. Can anybody please suggest me a solution. Moreover, is there any way to access the data in the journal through the terminal, I mean there are many activities which saves data into the journal and I am in severe need to access that data. Is there any way to do so. I got this link- http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Copy_to_and_from_the_Journal#Copy_from_Journal_script , but I think the names of files are hashed and I won't be able to recognize my file in this case.

I have a 4GB Sandisk Freedom stick, which used to show up until some time ago. Deleting .olpc_store fixed it. The stick mounted ok in the system though . df -h would show it as mounted, but it wouldn't show in the journal until I deleted .olpc_store cheers, Sameer -- Dr. Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Information Systems San Francisco State University San Francisco CA 94132 USA http://verma.sfsu.edu/ http://opensource.sfsu.edu/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Re: [Sugar-devel] Need Help: usb drive not visible in the journal
What version of Sugar are you running? re copy-from-journal, if you use the -q flag, it will search on the title and description fields. copy-from-journal -q 'title of some journal object' filename with copy-to-journal, it is it important to use a -m flag copy to journal foo.png -m image/png -walter On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 6:46 AM, sumit singhsumit.co...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I am facing a sort of weird problem at this point.
