Hugin 20.0 does not see external drive

[Brian Charles]

I just updated Hugin on my Ubunto distro and it does not see my external drive. It is seen in my file explorer. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Brian

Hugin doesn't see (disk) drives. If anything, it sees mounted file
systems, but I don't understand what you mean by "see". Can you
explain what you're trying to do? Did it work before?

I guess you mean you see shortcuts in the left navigation pane of your file explorer with the name of your usb disk.

If you want to find that same usb disk via Hugin in Ubuntu, you need to go to /media/<username>/<name of the usb disk>

Thanks. For the suggestions. I may have just forgotten which directory to look in. I upgraded Hugin and it had previously been able to navigate to an external usb hd when loading files. I will check the media directory.

In the newest Ubuntu USB media might be mounted only after you have clicked on it in Nautilus or similar...

I am updated Hugin to 2020.0.0.2f576e5d5b4a and when I sue the "load images" button I cannot navigate to my external hard drive. This was possible in the older version of Hugin that I was running. maybe there is a command line entry that I need to add to get Hugin to see external drives

I don't think Hugin has any concept of a drive outside of what the OS
mounts as a drive (removable or otherwise). If a drive isn't mounted
when Hugin goes to add some images, the drive isn't there at the OS
level for Hugin to see.

I have a number of SMB drive mounts in my fstab. Debian 10 changed
things so SMB drives were no longer mount during the boot process.
(Rather, it would try to mount them before the network was up, fail, and
not try again.) There was a parameter I had to add to tell it to
automount the SMB shares - x-systemd.automount.

Have you considered setting your external hard drive to automount?

It is available in the normal file explorer rad well as other programs, for example Dark Table, to open files from.

Well, I just tested using the same version of Hugin on Debian 10 (not
Ubuntu). I clicked Add Images and was able to navigate to my external
hard drive without any problems. But I think I had mounted it earlier
for other reasons.

[Harry van der Wolf]

@Brian,

Like I mentioned in an earlier post. If, in Ubuntu, you add a usb-stick or SD-card it is automatically mounted under /media/<username./<device name>.

In the file explorer it shows up as a shortcut in the left navigation pane.

In Hugin you need to go to /media/<username>/<device name>.

It is already working for centuries like that in Hugin.

Did you even try that? You do not even report back what you tried after users here try to help you.

You only repeat your earlier statements.

/media is not an option

The external drive is not an option in the left Hand pane as you suggest and neither is my camera card nor my dvd drive. Yet all three are available in the basic file explorer. 

This worked on an older version of Hugin, just not since I upgraded. Kinda odd.

Problem solved by deleting the install and reinstalling. There could have been an issue with not having deleted the previous install first before updating. I expected the instal process to delete the old and keep the new version.
