I'm having difficulty getting my Seagate 2 TB Expansion drive going on Ubuntu 18.04. It's not recognized in Nautilus or any of the GUI disk managers. It is visible in terminal using lsusb. I've tried some of the options suggested in other threads, e.g.:
sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs Gives me the message: "Package ntfsprogs is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source."
sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
Gives me the message:
ntfs-3g is already the newest version (1:2017.3.23-2). 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
I'd like to run the command sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdbXX , but the drive is not listed under df -h
I'm not sure what to do. Is this NTFS formatted and do I need to format it with FAT?
Here is the drive listed under lsusb. I'm assuming this is the drive because it doesn't appear when disconnected.
