Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
This problem appeared at least on the IBM ThinkPad X41 Tablet and the
Lenovo X60s as they don't have a CD/DVD drive.
I booted the Ubuntu Live System from a USB Pendrive and installed Ubuntu using
the graphical installer.
The installation created a file /etc/fstab with a mount point definition for a
CD/DVD drive (will attach the file).
This file specifies a file system (udf,iso9660).
As the notebooks don't have a CD/DVD drive, plugging in a USB pendrive results
in assigning /dev/sdb to the USB drive.
As the file system is already specified in /etc/fstab, I can't mount the
pendrive as a user and get an error message about a wrong filesystem or bad
superblock.
"sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/usbdisk" works but I don't think that this is the
way it should be.
Removing the last line from /etc/fstab works for me.
