[Stephen Liu]

Hi Andrew,

Still failed.

# cat /etc/group | grep plugdev
plugdev:x:1004:haldaemon,satimis


  

if the logout-login doesn't work, then post the relevant part
of /var/log/messages when plugging in the usb device.
    

/var/log/message

Also, post details of the usb thing that you're trying to use - what is

USB enclosure is a box for mounting a HD inside to be used for external storage.  It is connected to USB port.


  

and the gnome, udev and kernel version.
