  2.   I do not know how said

    Hello friends. Again here with a beginner's doubt. I have updated Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, everything perfect. I have installed Caliber and the external device where I have the library does not recognize me. I have tried with an older version of Caliber and nothing. The device external is one of these 1t hard drives and with Ubuntu 14.04 it never failed me.
    I do not know what else to do.
    Thanks and regards.
