I'm using Linux for the first time just as something to play around with on a secondary laptop I own. Today, I plugged in a flash drive, and I figured out how to use the disk manager to view the contents and reformat it with a partition using the Linux internal disk file format (Ext4). However...I can't access the damned thing! I saw that the drive displayed on my desktop, so tried to mount it, but I'm being told that I do not have permission to do that. How can I give myself permission to mount removable USB drives like this and write files to it?? (Disclaimer: I know what Terminal is but I do not know any commands. I'll happily type one if you give it to me, though).
