Kickass Women@lemmy.worldOPto Linux@lemmy.ml•[Resolved - now using Onboard] Any recommendations for an on-screen keyboard like the one that Windows has. The one that comes with Gnome is annoying to use...17·1 year agoTrying it out right now
Update: I think that Onboard is good enough to replace Gnome’s OSK.

Getting the error "mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 18 -- ignored"2·1 year agoBut you have a space in there. I don’t know how spaces are handled in fstab. You’ll either need to quote it or at least escape the space
Instead of using spaces or quotes (single or double), I used
\040
(as @shortdorkyasian) said and that made all the difference:UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\040Volume/ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

Getting the error "mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 18 -- ignored"4·1 year agoThere were no asterisks in the fstab file, I just placed them here to emphasize the name of the hdd.
Btw I got Debian to automount the hdd (thanks to @shortdorkyasian) by adding this entry to the fstab file:
UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\040Volume/ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0
Using \040 instead of a space or quotes (single or double) made it work.

I edited the fstab file:
UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 /media/lucky/New\040Volume/ ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0
My hdd is now automatically mounted by Debian.
Thank you!

Getting the error "mount: /etc/fstab: parse error at line 18 -- ignored"1·1 year agoThat REALLY doesn’t seem like a good idea considering that *'s are wildcards for anything, and Linux isn’t really fond of spaces.
There are no asterisks in the fstab file. I put them here to emphasize the name of the hdd (I edited my original post to remove them to avoid confusing people).
Also do you have a lib or something for linux to handle NTFS file system types?
I’m using the ntfs-3g driver.
Btw this is what the entry on fstab looks like now but I’m still getting the parsing error:
UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 "/media/lucky/New Volume" ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0

I changed the entry on fstab to this (tried it with both single quotes and double quotes) and I’m stilling getting the parse error:
UUID=D4C0A66EC0A65710 "/media/lucky/New Volume" ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=46,uid=1000 0 0
Btw I’m using the ntfs-3g driver, if that helps.
