Hi, I have an Acer Aspire One, and I am running Ubuntu 10.10. Since
upgrading to this version, I am getting the same problem, I cant use USB
sticks and I cant plug in my external dvd rewriter. It gives an error
'unable to mount usb stick, not authorised'. It seems to be a Ubuntu
problem, and so far I havent been able to find a fix for it. I want to
do a fresh install, but I cant because it wont accept both.

A friend has asked me to look at her husbands netbook, which is
running
Linux. He bought it from Tesco two years ago, so I think it probably
*is* Ubuntu.
His problems are mainly that it doesn't recognise USB devices when
they're plugged in, and it downloads updates but doesn't install
them.
He wants to do more than email and web browsing, which is all he
feels
he can do at the moment (it has shortcuts on the desktop for
email and
firefox).
If it's two years old, and he hasn't upgraded, will it be
pre-Unity? As
I've never used a netbook, only Ubuntu on desktops and laptops,
will I
be able to find my way around it?
She thinks his cunning plan is to break it so he can buy a new
one, but
I don't want to be the one that breaks it! :)
TIA

Doesn't sound like Ubuntu - but the laptop would run a full
installation of Ubuntu. Where are you? Is there anyone running
installation workshops near you?
