usb stick not aumounting and no icon on desktop
Hello,
It appears that udev (or something) is not working right in Debain Etch.
Earlier today I upgraded a bunch of packages and now USB stick
automounting has stopped working. I do not get the USB icon on the
desktop when I insert a USB thumb drive into a USB slot even though I
see that it is detected (in /var/log/syslog) and that its link is made
(e.g. /dev/sda1). It is just not automounted (as it used to be) nor is
its icon shown (it used to).
Moreover, the link in /dev/ shows it is owned by the floppy group!
> ls -l /dev/sd??
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 1 2006-02-20 01:48 /dev/sda1
Does anyone what is going on?
I belong to the plugdev group and I am using 2.6.12 kernel. And I have
currently:
> dpkg -l hotplug udev dbus* gnome-volu* plugdev hal
No packages found matching plugdev.
