As the title says, I'm now trying to change the directory to external usb drive so I can figure out why I can't get Plex to see the mp4s. Novice Linux user here. I've read and read and it seems that I've tried every suggestion that I could find. All the responses (probably from expert users) make it seem so simple. The simple answer that I always see is cd /media/elements. My external drive is "Elements". The block quote is the return that I get. steeldriver solved my problem. I always have a brain freeze about the case sensitivity of file names. It's hard to get away from the old Windows habits! Thanks.

tommy@Desktop-Inspiron-3910:~$ cd /media/elements
bash: cd: /media/elements: No such file or  directory

You can use the `ls` command to verify the name ex. `ls /media`, `ls /media/tommy`. Don't forget file and directory names are case sensitive so `elements` is not the same as `Elements`

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.
