Very easy akshay, make it like this

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 vfat defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
/dev/sda5 /media/sda5 vfat defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 vfat defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
/dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5 vfat defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
/dev/sda4 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0

If it doesn't work lets us know, there is another method which will work.
Note: Remember to backup the original fstab first.

to transfer files to My Sony Ericsson k550 phone i have to use windows ! no other way !

Go to synaptic, search for bluetooth & install everything u see in search result. Then pair your phone with the compuer & u can browse the phone. Just that u will have to pair everytime u want to browse your phone

Check out MInting 101 in OSS section.

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

hitboxx i don't see any difference between the original and your fstab file that you created for me !!

please verify it !

thanks man was thinking of the same !!!!
but what about file transfer mode of SE phones for quick transfers ??

and no hacking and modding of SE Phones in Ubuntu !! damn it

hope we get linux drivers soon !!

 

[Hitboxx]

Just removed the '#' and the UUID

# means comment, won't read it, so remove it.

UUID is when it scans for disk errors. Not required.

Edit: Do the SE phones have an option to read the mas usb?

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

that's all ok .. the commenting with #

but where is sda6 ? aren't we mounting that ??
i don't see it anywhere in the script .. ( is that a script ? i assume .. lol )

 

[Hitboxx]

whats the filetype of sda6?

Assuming its fat32 add the line to fstab like this.
/dev/sda6 /media/sda6 vfat defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1

Create a folder called sda6 in /media as root beforehand.

If its ntfs, change 'vfat' to ntfs-3g above.

Edit: Don't forget to reboot.

Edit2: If you want hands-on help, come to #digit channel on irc.freenode.net using your irc client.

Have u used bluesoliel 5 on Windows? In Linux all you can do using this is to browse your Phone Memory & Memory card as a folder over bluetooth, or u can use the datacable.

Too bad there is nothing like this in LInux

Right click on the file -> Send TO ->BLuetooth

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

yes so its working !! great !!

i had to create folder in /media !!

so i take it that to rename those sdax and sdbx .. i should rename them in /media and also do the same changes in fstab .. right ???

hey but how to create folders using GUI file browser ?? i could not .. i had to use CLI mkdir for that !! but why ??

 

[Hitboxx]

Yes do those folders in /media.

Again very simple, if you want to be able to browse as root, do this

1. Create a shortcut on your desktop

2. Add this into its command line. Give a desired name to it.

kdesu "nautilus --browser"

3. Now just click it, give the password and browse as root.

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

kdesu ?? but i am ubuntu on gnome ..
tried it and it did not work .. lol .. looks like you use KDE !

 

[Rahim]

Open nautilus with root access. Alt+F2 and enter

gksu nautilus

My bad, I use them both, but usually Gnome, and I don't use Ubuntu.

Yeah well, gksu works fine.
