Dingoo A320 forum

Maybe I just suck with terminal but how is it possible to connect the dingoo to ubuntu 9.04? I just got mine today and i would love to get some games on here.

I posted on the Ubuntu Forums about how I did it manually. Unfortunately, no one's suggested how to set Ubuntu to see it automatically when you plug it in.

This doesn't allow nautlius to move files does it?

fix the partition, check my post around here. It's titled something like did anyones dingoo come with some messed up partition. Basically the dingoo uses the whole device as a partition. e.g. /dev/sda whereas is should be using a partition on that device. e.g. /dev/sda1

I found that after having connected my dingoo manually on ubuntu (as decribed in another thread here) and rebooting, vista asked to me to perform a disk check on the device (say yes!). After doing this my dingoo is correctly automounted even in linux ... anyway SD card never gave problems so i supose that creating a full new partition from scratch should work also.

What about Windows 7 ? Any fix yet ?

the win7 fix should be the same as the linux fix. I THINK. please test it so we know

thats hardly a fix, more a workaround. it would be nice if someone could actually test my method. I do not run windows 7 or vista so i can't check. I can however say that the partition layout, or lackof does cause all the problems with gnome's automounting system(gnome-volume-manager). So that fix would definiitely work for ubuntu.

instructions are towards the bottom of that thread. Also if you prefer you could use the graphical tool "gparted" instead of the terminal.....Basically copy everything off the dingoo. make a new partition table(dos one), add a fat32 partition and copy your stuff back.

edit: forgot to say, if using the gparted method. Run killall gnome-volume-manager beforehand or youll get all sorts of issues with gnome automounting the drive. In order to get automount working again either reboot or go to System>preferences>removable drives and media. Then just close that window off and your all good.
