External HDD can't be mounted on Ubuntu 22.04

kn flag

I've tried connecting an external HD to my computer (Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS) and it doesn't load.

I ran journalctl and below is its output.

What can I do to make the drive recognizable?

You might try $ sudo fdisk-l you’ll get a list of the drives already catalogued on the system. Follow that with $ sudo mkdir /media/ It should then mount with $ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdbl /media/<name you’ve chosen> Then see if you can access it with cd /media/<name you’ve chosen>l

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
