Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libnautilus-extension-dev
When using my transcend Jetflash V60 4GB usb stick, it would never mount
the drive, although it showed recognised it, icon appeared on Desktop
etc.
When I clicked on it to open (mount) it, the system said error , cannot mount
drive.
Note that the drive was ok on windows computers, and I chkdisk 'ed it a few
times, but ubuntu failed to read/open it.
during this time Ubuntu was opening other USB drives flawlessly
I checked the USB dirive in gparted and it appeared unformated "unknown", in
terminal it appeared to be FAT 32....
Eventually i gave up after screwing around in terminal for a total of 4 - 6hrs
over a few weeks (i am a ubuntu beginner)
And I copied my data off and reformated it with Gparted to FAT 32, Nautilus
would still not recognise it!!
So I reformated it to FAT 16 and at last I can open/mount it!!!
This has been a major pain in the ass, so I would say its a farily
important issue (for beginner users at least)
I had this problem on Ibex and now on Jaunty - i am using a Sony Vaio - VGN
SR16GN 3gb ram, centrino 2.2GH duo
I am using upgrade packages via package manager - i upgraded on aprox 5th May
When I plugged the USB in, i expected to beable to open it,
instead it appeared in nautilus under places and an icon on desktop but i
couldnt open (mount) it
