Linux is Linux, and most operations rely on commands. The graphic interface is just one of the applications. However, I like to work with commands. Today is the first day of learning Linux to attach a USB flash disk to Linux, I searched the internet and said that I had to use fdisk-l to find the drive letter of the USB flash drive, which is generally sd *. So I did it and the problem came, enter the fdisk-l prompt "command not found" in the terminal to find the reason for surfing the Internet. It turns out that the fdisk command is in the/sbin directory, and the environment variable does not include/sbin, therefore, there are two methods to use fdisk: Input/sbin/fdisk and edit bash_profile. Enter su and press enter at the command prompt to set the administrator password to enter the root directory, enter gedit. bash_profile: There is something wrong with it. The online articles put the profile into a porfile. As a result, all the recipients copy and paste the profile directly, instead of taking a good look at it. root does not have it below. bash_porfi So if you make a mistake, you will see an empty file with nothing in it. after bash_profile, find PATH = $ PATH: $ HOME/bin and add:/sbin, that is, PATH = $ PATH: $ HOME/bin:/sbin, save and exit, after the system is restarted, fdisk can be used directly ~ Log out of the current user directory. I tried it. It is available in both the root directory and the user directory. bash_profile: At first, I only edited the files under the root directory, but it is difficult to make them work after restart. It does not work when I enter the root directory. Later, I found the files under the user directory, edited successfully.

Mount the usb flash disk and use fdisk to determine that the usb flash drive is sda. Then, create a folder under/mnt/and name it at will, for example, usb (converted to the root directory ), then input mount-t vfat/dev/sda/mnt/usb and press enter to view the files in the usb disk under the usb folder.

Unmount the USB flash disk and enter umount/dev/sda and press Enter.

Of course, the operation is the same without running commands on the graphic interface. After the USB flash drive is inserted, a USB flash drive icon appears on the desktop. You can double-click the icon and right-click the icon and select umount when uninstalling it.

However, the problem we encountered today is that my USB flash drive contains an AVI video file, and double-click the USB flash drive icon and the system will crash. I am a beginner and I don't know what's going on, I wonder if Linux does not recognize video format files in Windows? As a result, the experiment failed many times. Later, I deleted the video and changed it to a text file. This was a success, but I wrote Chinese characters in the text file, garbled characters are displayed in the English system.
