Accessing the USB port on a Hub2 with Linux

How do you configure Linux Mint 20.3 to access the USB port the Hub?  VLC running on the firestick can assess, so it is working.

 

Is the a way to create a shortcut to the USB disconnect button? Ideally one click/press instead three and the admin password.

@appoloin1 

What desktop are you running in Mint? This will determine what file manager is installed.

I'm running Mint 22 Cinnamon, which has Nemo as the default file manager.

I haven't tried using the USB port for a long time, and my Plusnet Hub is no longer connected to my network because I am in the final stages of migrating from PN to Zen Internet, but what do you see when you click on "Network" in your file manager.

With Linux, this might be a "permissions" issue.

Re: Accessing the USB port on a Hub2 with Linux

I'm using Cinnamon. The "Network" tab shows the icon for "Window Network", but when clicked on it returns the message "Unable to Mount Location". 

 

Are there any apps other than Nemo that can used to upload to the usb or delete from it?
