EEE update stuff

[dvandom]

This morning, I installed a bunch of updates to my EEE (something I thought I'd been doing all along, but I guess all I'd been doing was downloading packages without installing them). Running into a few changes...including the absence of GMail from the menus, and the fact that my SD card is now apparently read as the D: drive. Trying to go to the card itself yields a blank directory.

Edit: Checking the EEEuser.com forums shows that the GMail issue came up back in May. I tried a few of the suggested fixes (short of going all F9 on my machine) but they didn't work. Ehn. Just bookmarked GMail in Firefox. And I managed to delete the false entry for the SD card in file manager, the D: drive thing is no better or worse, just different.

On the bright side, not updating a linux box isn't nearly the risk that not updating a Windows one is. And if it doesn't work for you, you can (usually, not always) go back and undo the changes. Do you have the SD actually mounted?

what do you get when you type "mount" into a terminal?

Hey, if you want, I can help you put that GMail icon on your desktop if you like.

Hmm, when I put any sort of removable storage into the USB slot(thumb drive, SD card via adaptor) I just get a folder popup of the card's root directory. Is that what's going on here?
