Ubuntu

warning message during startup about final line in etc/fstab

Asked by Joe Gunto

During the black and white startup screen I get a warning that
there is no final line in /etc/fstab
How much of a problem is this, and what do I do to (set a final line or whatever needs to be done)?
Thanks for any help
Joe

I haven't tried to do anything about this since I don't know what it is about and my computer seems to work just fine as it is now

Should not be a problem at all. But you can probably easily fix that just by adding an empty line at the end of the fstab. To edit fstab paste in terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

You can also paste here the contents of the fstab, so i'll check if everything is fine.

This is the result of sudo gedit/etc/fstab

If you get a chance to check this out and comment on what is here: thanks for your advice

last line of your fstab sould look like this one

/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

and not

/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0ee

the two e at the end of the file are wrong :)

Yes, that's true, these 'ee's are most likely an error, typo or a file damage due to a disk error. Remove them, remember to use 'sudo' to edit the file. The rest looks ok.

Can you help with this problem?
