@jennifer: please note that first you should connect your usb drive, then you must find where is your device (/dev/sda... sdb... sdc...) with this command in the terminal:
sudo fdisk -l my usb drive is shown like this: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 4 778189 7781856+ b W95 FAT32 please note that if you have several usb devices connected in the same time the place where it is recognized by the system - will change. so, always connect your drive in the same way (with or without other drives connected, and/or in the same sequence). i created two scripts, one for mounting: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash # file name: myusbmount.sh sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/myusb gksudo nautilus ---------------------------------------------------------------------- beware, you must create the folder "/media/myusb" beforehand. then, i wrote another script for unmounting: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash # file name: myusbmount.sh sudo umount /dev/sdb1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- this way you can create two buttons or two menu items and assign ehacg of those scripts to run when you select them. this is only a workaround, but it works for me :) -- USB Thumb Drive can't mount anymore in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211760 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
