Can't mount any partitions - ACL error

I've install Ubuntu 12.10 and now I can't mount any partitions.

I get the same error with drives: Adding read ACL for uid 1000 to /media/proach failed: Operation not supported


I have one word for this 'bug': fun. :) I saw exactly the same error message today, and the solution is...

sudo mkdir /media/$USER
sudo chown $USER:$USER /media/$USER

(thank jasmines for the tipp!)

I know, fun, but that was the solution for me! Ubuntu wants to use a non-existent directory for the mount target, and doesn't create it before attempting the mounting operation!


Just follow these instructions:

sudo blkid
sudo -H gedit /etc/fstab

and fill information= in the appropriate pattern. For example, mine was:

UUID=445F-4D4E /home/str007/kortele vfat errors=remount-ro 0 1

My file now looks like this

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda2 during installation
