I have tried gnome-disk-utility and it has failed. Yet again I have deleted the launcher for, 'Disks' which is gnome disk utility and now I can't see how I can open it. I am running 12.10.

Which command do you execute from the command-line to open Gnome Disk Utility (Disks)?

gnome-disks

The auto-suggestion from package management sometimes helps out when you make a typo ( :) )

No command 'gnome-diskw' found, did you mean:
 Command 'gnome-disks' from package 'gnome-disk-utility' (main)
gnome-diskw: command not found

  • Thanks mate, this has been standing in my way as my PC hasn't been mounting DVDs and CDs when I place them in the player. – Josh Pinto Jan 05 '13 at 15:40

You can launch Disk Utility (gnome-disk-utility) GUI using:

palimpsest &

    I installed `gnome-disk-utility`, but I have no `palimpsest` executable. What is missing? – landroni Jan 23 '15 at 17:08
  • @landroni you can check the executable provided in the package with `dpkg -L gnome-disk-utility`.. or are there some problems in the installation? – rusty Jan 23 '15 at 19:04

    seems they've changed the name.. maybe it's `gnome-disks` (rinzwind mentions that in his answer) from Ubuntu 12.10 and above.. it's `palimpsest` for Precise. – rusty Jan 23 '15 at 19:08

    `dpkg -L gnome-disk-utility | grep palimpsest` returns empty. I guess it's indeed a name change in the binary, and this executable is no longer the same in Trusty. – landroni Jan 23 '15 at 19:17
  • the command lists all the files provided by the package.. you'd find what it's been renamed to.. – rusty Jan 23 '15 at 19:21
  • `gnome-disks` works fine on Trusty. Thanks. – landroni Jan 23 '15 at 19:39
