The KDE notifier tells me the devices has been plugged in but when i click on it (mounting it) dmsg shows this:
Code:
[ 1302.563690] FAT: codepage cp437 not found


and Konqueror complains about a codepage helper missing and of course device doesn't get mounted...

What am I skipping?
Please ask outputs you may need

(I've also noticed that in /mnt/ the folder media is missing... what else am I skipping? :? )

Shockwaver,

The CodePages are kernel options. Code Page 437 is the defualt but you can use the option
Code:
-o codepage=
if you prefer another code page.
Either fix your kernel or use a code page you do have built.

Ok thank you... starting to sound a little bit better.

Code:
-o codepage=

You mean as a kernel option?

Fixing the kernel in what meaning? Selecting the default codepage used on the device? If so, how do I know what codepage my device uses?
Or how do I use on my device the codepage I have built in the kernel?

Thanks
Sry... still lil bit noob in things :oops:

Shockwaver,

As an option to mount. See
Code:
man mount
under the fat section

This message tells me 2 things.
    1. Your USB drive wants to use codepage 437
    2. Your kernel doesn't have it

There are actually 2 sections in the kernel .config that you want to check.
This is what I have (for example)
Code:
#
# DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems
#
CONFIG_FAT_FS=m
CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=m
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=m
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=437
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET="iso8859-1"
# CONFIG_NTFS_FS is not set

Code:
CONFIG_NLS=m
CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT="utf8"
CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437=m
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_737 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_775 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_850 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_852 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_855 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_857 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_860 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_861 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_862 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_863 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_864 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_865 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_866 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_869 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_936 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_950 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_932 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_949 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_874 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_8 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_1250 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_1251 is not set
CONFIG_NLS_ASCII=m
CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_1=m
# CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_2 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_3 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_4 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_5 is not set

# CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_9 is not set
# CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_13 is not set

Ok... solved...
In Kernel i specified 850 as a default fat codepage and i built that codepage into the kernel... now it mounts with cp850 (my locale is Italian)

I only wander... before all of this i did a mkfs.vfat on the usb stick... Who said to use codepage 850 to the device?
