Two tricks that have been successful for me are: 1) Give up on hal/etc and add a line to fstab or try: 2) sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd and plug it out and in again. If this works you could blacklist this module regards, Michael -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] Pen drive not automounting.
OK here goes, Using Ubuntu 7.10 for over a year and all works well. If I plug in a pen-drive when running Gnome it will automount and place an icon on the desktop, 'mount' will show the entry: /dev/sdc1 on /media/kingston type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev, shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,usefree) and all is well. Now the problem, if I connect the same pen-drive when running KDE (which I use as default) it USED to work the same (Desktop icon etc.) however it stopped working. Now it will not mount the drive when running KDE unless I do it manually with: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/directory By the way, when I plug the drive in I'm running either Gnome or KDE as a user (the same user in both cases). What is happening here and how do I fix things? Regards, Andy Jenkins. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
