Hellow: Sorry for my very bat english. I have the same problem since i update the kernel. Finally, while I wait a new update, I have add the next line to fstab file: /dev/sdb1 /media/usb1 vfat rw,auto,users,umask=0 0 0 Now I can mount the usb key when i am a normal user and an icon apear in desktop. Now the system can not automount, but maybe when I reset it go (I think not). I think this problem have to hapend more people, we are not the only in this universe!! Thanks! =:)
