GalliumOS 2.1 ExFAT Failed to mount #502

Closed kipbits closed 5 years ago

kipbits commented 5 years ago

Hi, I'm just starting out with GalliumOS, and Chrombook hacking in general. I'm currently running GalliumOS 2.1 (Sandy/Ivy Bridge). Upon trying to open a thumb drive of mine I get the following error:

Failed to mount "134 GB Volume".

Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/kipbits/9236-BABF: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/kipbits/9236-BABF"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

GalliumOS 2.1 exFAT error

I read somewhere I need to install exfat-tools

I ran sudo apt install exfat-tools, but got the error E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend...

My apologies, perhaps I am typing the wrong formula.

I've had this drive for awhile now, and It hasn't given me trouble before. I made this drive on my Mac, and I know for a fact it works on Windows, Mint and MX...

This is a pretty standard format and I think it should be supported out of the box.

apparently I'm supposed to sudo apt-get install fuse-exfat exfat-utils. I haven't tested yet... not sure if this is the right package...

The package is exfat-utils, and it is included (tested working ootb) on GalliumOS 3.0
