External devices not accessable for uploads or downloads
I had to save an extension output to an internal device, then transfer to the external device.
Likewise, I had to save pictures to the internal device, before I could upload to CraigsList.
The error message:
Could not read the contents of c7c262b1-413f-4972-ba6c-6f6e2c18eb16
This is a 64 GB SSD card.
I'm running Linux Mint 17.3, Cinnamon.
Is this something I can change? I updated Pale Moon yesterday.
It seems to be a recent implementation - in the last month or 2.

Re: External devices not accessable for uploads or downloads
First question; can you open a terminal and run "ls -al" on the directory the card is mounted on? What is the output?

Hi, Walter.
I had to think for a minute, how to change directories...
I removed a couple of items that clearly were not pertinent.
I'm also listed as the owner, in the properties, to read, write and execute.

Re: External devices not accessable for uploads or downloads
Since your access to the card is tightly restricted to your user account only, Pale Moon may not have access to it if it's running under ANY other (e.g. system) account. Please verify which account Pale Moon is running under and adjust file/dir permissions accordingly on the card if it's not your user account (e.g. by setting group permissions and making Pale Moon a member of that group).

Re: External devices not accessable for uploads or downloads
The message "Could not read the contents of c7c262b1-413f-4972-ba6c-6f6e2c18eb16" is interesting. What is the name of the directory? Does it have any weird characters or control characters in the name?

Re: External devices not accessable for uploads or downloads
Moonchild, I just added palemoon to Groups, since it was not there.
That surprised me, for some reason.
I just added one picture to a CraigsList posting and attached one picture to an email. Both of them worked.
Hopefully...
For the record, if the problem recurs...
I failed to mention that I start palemoon from an icon on the left side of the systray, with the command:
There are no special characters in the name:
Thank you, Moonchild and Walter Dnes.
I appreciate your input and have my fingers crossed.

Re: External devices not accessable for uploads or downloads
Hmmm, that might have been the problem. What user does Firejail run Pale Monn as? To find out, launch Pale Moon from Firejail, then switch to a terminal and type in ps -ef | grep palemoon The username will be at the far left. Note that the "grep palemoon" command will hit a false positive on itself.Uppity wrote:I failed to mention that I start palemoon from an icon on the left side of the systray, with the command:Code: Select all

Re: External devices not accessable for uploads or downloads
Looks good, to me, Walter.
I am having self doubts about attaching a picture to email.
I'll try that again, by tomorrow.
Thanks.
