Auto mount a disk drive in ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Bookmark directory not found)
I'm using ubuntu 14.04 LTS. When I start my pc and click on any bookmark from the file manager it shows this error:
Unable to find the requested file. Please check the spelling and try again.
Unhandled error message: Error when getting information for file '/media/angel/DOC/edu': No such file or directory
But when I open DOC drive and again clink on the same bookmark it works properly. Can anybody tell me why is this happening and how to solve this issue?
Edit: Output of lsblk
is following: (ubuntu is installed in sda5
)

From the output of lsblk
, before and after the link starts working, it appears that your partition is not mounted automatically.
Since it is an NTFS partition (looking at the output of sudo blkid
), you can make your partition automount by adding the following line to your fstab
file:
/dev/sdb6 /media/angel/DOC ntfs auto
If it does not exist already, create the directory to mount into:
sudo mkdir /media/angel/DOC
Open the
fstab
file:
gksu gedit /etc/fstab
(you might have to install gksu first)
and add the line:
/dev/sdb6 /media/angel/DOC ntfs auto
at the end of the file, save the changes.
Test your new entry by the command:
sudo mount -a

@Eka You will probably not have the directory/media/angel/
, so you cannot create the directory/Doc
inside it :). You'd probably have enough to use/media/<mountpoint_name>
(without the subdirectory/angel/Doc
, I assume angel is his name). For every partition, indeed you need to have a separate line in the/etc/fstab
file.

@Eka not needed in this case, but if you need to create a new directory inside another directory that not yet exists (create directories recursively), you need to use the-p
option. e.g. to create directorie(s)/media/monkey/eats/banana
inside an empty folder/media
:sudo mkdir -p /media/monkey/eats/banana
.

Hey thanks..you are correct it was due to the change in path. I once again made a new bookmark of the folder and after restart its working perfectly. Once more thanks for your help

@Eka let's say I have a bookmark to a folder on a mounted volume/media/mountfolder/path/to/folder
. The mountpoint is/media/mountfolder/
. Now when you add it to your/etc/fstab
file, this mountpoint will be different although the foldername is the same. The full path to the folder will nevertheless be different. What you probably need to do is remove the bookmarks in question and recreate them.

I had to struggle with the same problem. It was due to an missing entry in the fstab file.
Lets say the bookmark is in folder /dev/sda1/bookmark. Then the bookmark only worked when I first opened the folder /dev/sda1 with the Explorer Window.
After a restart the command lsblk -f
showed that /dev/sda1 was not mounted, without mountpoint.
Accessing /dev/sda1 in the Explorer Window and retype the command lsblk -f
it appeared with its mountpoint on /media/user/sda1.
After some time I percepted that an entry in the fstab file was missing.
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
I put the following line into fstab file:
/dev/sda1 /media/user/sda1 ntfs rw,user,auto 0 2
I used the mountpoint which was defined by the system after accessing /dev/sda1 manually.
Finally it worked after a restart.
I hope it will help for other cases as well.
/dev/sda1
is a device, not a directory, so part of this answer is unclear.

/media/angel/
, so you cannot create the directory /Doc
inside it :). You'd probably have enough to use /media/<mountpoint_name>
(without the subdirectory /angel/Doc
, I assume angel is his name). For every partition, indeed you need to have a separate line in the /etc/fstab
file.– Jacob Vlijm

@Eka not needed in this case, but if you need to create a new directory inside another directory that not yet exists (create directories recursively), you need to use the
-p
option. e.g. to create directorie(s) /media/monkey/eats/banana
inside an empty folder /media
: sudo mkdir -p /media/monkey/eats/banana

@Eka You might have to recreate the bookmarks. Probably its path has changed.

Hey thanks..you are correct it was due to the change in path. I once again made a new bookmark of the folder and after restart its working perfectly. Once more thanks for your help

@Eka let's say I have a bookmark to a folder on a mounted volume
/media/mountfolder/path/to/folder
. The mountpoint is /media/mountfolder/
. Now when you add it to your /etc/fstab
file, this mountpoint will be different although the foldername is the same. The full path to the folder will nevertheless be different. What you probably need to do is remove the bookmarks in question and recreate them.– Jacob Vlijm

I had to struggle with the same problem. It was due to an missing entry in the fstab file.
Lets say the bookmark is in folder /dev/sda1/bookmark. Then the bookmark only worked when I first opened the folder /dev/sda1 with the Explorer Window.
After a restart the command lsblk -f
showed that /dev/sda1 was not mounted, without mountpoint.
Accessing /dev/sda1 in the Explorer Window and retype the command lsblk -f
it appeared with its mountpoint on /media/user/sda1.
After some time I percepted that an entry in the fstab file was missing.
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
I put the following line into fstab file:
/dev/sda1 /media/user/sda1 ntfs rw,user,auto 0 2
I used the mountpoint which was defined by the system after accessing /dev/sda1 manually.
Finally it worked after a restart.
I hope it will help for other cases as well.
/dev/sda1
is a device, not a directory, so part of this answer is unclear.
