A external drive is not showing up at all, I have tried 2 cables so far neither of them work. Output of "sudo lshw -C disk": http://pastebin.com/Q3k3TjE1

darkzek: what happens if you tail -f /var/log/syslog and plugin?
lotuspsychje 2017-02-24 20:51:56

mcrt 2017-02-24 20:53:19
how come ati is lagging so badly with their drivers?

darkzek: `udevadm monitor` shows usb events, connections and disconnections etc. Have it running while trying to connect the disk. Also, if the disk requires more power than your usb port offers (and you hear clinging sounds), use a usb hub which might give more power, or a Y cable with 2 USB connections to 1

A old usb one, dont know what version though
darkzek 2017-02-24 20:55:02
tail -f /var/log/syslog returns "http://pastebin.com/LMNvG41N"

alkisg just tried that and nothing came up, the leds light up but no sounds or anything. Must just be dead
darkzek 2017-02-24 20:57:19
Thanks for trying :)

darkzek: doesnt seem like usefull usb errors
alkisg 2017-02-24 20:58:23
darkzek: try in another port with more power first
lotuspsychje 2017-02-24 20:58:32
alkisg: +1 good idea
alkisg 2017-02-24 20:58:42
darkzek: it's very common for disks to need 700 mh and usb ports to provide only 500 ma
alkisg 2017-02-24 20:58:53
That's why the Y cables exist
alkisg 2017-02-24 20:59:06
And some usb hubs provide 1000 ma,
alkisg 2017-02-24 20:59:19
so if you have one that is externally powered, try putting it between the disk and the pc

Ok, that seems reasonable.

By the way, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around permissions in general. When we talk about others in Linux does that mean other users on the computer/network if shared or more towards other applications not run from my user? Actually, more like: Know any good guides?
