This maybe a off the tangent on, but you do have ConsoleKit running right ? I found that after I turned this off I had difficulties in mounting my USB stick
Well, something strange is indeed happening. I have been bitten by the "no USB detection" bug, but only partially. Let me explain: I have a 256M LG USB stick that still appears (even with latest kernel + autofs) just fine as a new icon on the "computer:///" nautilus "address" (and also on GNOME desktop). It is also nicely automounted. However, my new 1G PQI stick is detected by kernel/HAL/whatever, but doesn't show up anywhere. It can still be manually mounted, though. /var/log/messages shows this for each of them: ** LG stick ** Jul 24 09:26:06 localhost kernel: usb 3-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 Jul 24 09:26:06 localhost kernel: usb 3-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Jul 24 09:26:06 localhost kernel: hub 3-4:1.0: USB hub found Jul 24 09:26:06 localhost kernel: hub 3-4:1.0: 1 port detected Jul 24 09:26:06 localhost kernel: usb 3-4.1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 Jul 24 09:26:06 localhost kernel: usb 3-4.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Jul 24 09:26:06 localhost kernel: scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Jul 24 09:26:11 localhost kernel: scsi 3:0:0:0: Direct-Access LG USB Drive 2.0 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS Jul 24 09:26:11 localhost kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] 507904 512-byte hardware sectors (260 MB) Jul 24 09:26:11 localhost kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Jul 24 09:26:11 localhost kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through Jul 24 09:26:11 localhost kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] 507904 512-byte hardware sectors (260 MB) Jul 24 09:26:11 localhost kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Jul 24 09:26:11 localhost kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through Jul 24 09:26:11 localhost kernel: sdb: sdb1 Jul 24 09:26:11 localhost kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk Jul 24 09:26:11 localhost kernel: sd 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 ** PQI stick ** Jul 24 09:28:05 localhost kernel: usb 3-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 Jul 24 09:28:05 localhost kernel: usb 3-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Jul 24 09:28:06 localhost kernel: scsi4 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Jul 24 09:28:10 localhost kernel: scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic USB Flash Disk 0.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 Jul 24 09:28:10 localhost kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] 2015231 512-byte hardware sectors (1032 MB) Jul 24 09:28:10 localhost kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Jul 24 09:28:10 localhost kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through Jul 24 09:28:10 localhost kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] 2015231 512-byte hardware sectors (1032 MB) Jul 24 09:28:10 localhost kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off Jul 24 09:28:10 localhost kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through Jul 24 09:28:10 localhost kernel: sdb: sdb1 Jul 24 09:28:10 localhost kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk Jul 24 09:28:10 localhost kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 Can anyone spot any difference? - 'lshal -m' shows this for each stick: ** LG ** 10:18:13.119: usb_device_67b_2515_noserial added 10:18:13.342: usb_device_67b_2515_noserial_if0 added 10:18:13.475: usb_device_67b_2517_noserial added 10:18:13.703: usb_device_67b_2517_noserial_if0 added 10:18:18.596: usb_device_67b_2517_noserial_if0_scsi_host added 10:18:18.598: usb_device_67b_2517_noserial_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0 added 10:18:18.705: usb_device_67b_2517_noserial_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0_scsi_generic added 10:18:18.957: storage_serial_Prolific_Technology_Inc__USB_Mass_Storage_Device added 10:18:19.222: volume_part1_size_260030464 added ** PQI ** 10:16:34.935: usb_device_3538_54_2007120000003F added 10:16:35.157: usb_device_3538_54_2007120000003F_if0 added 10:16:40.047: usb_device_3538_54_2007120000003F_if0_scsi_host added 10:16:40.049: usb_device_3538_54_2007120000003F_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0 added 10:16:40.160: usb_device_3538_54_2007120000003F_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0_scsi_generic added Here we can see HAL proceeds further for LG stick. Anyone knows the reason? I am not sure this is a problem with the latest kernel... sadly I just removed previous kernel, can't test it right now (will try to download it later). TIA, Andre
