Bug Description

When I had Dapper Drake, I plugged in my USB devices (mp3 player, memory stick, etc) and it was auto-mounted and a window of the USB contents opened. But now, with Edgy Eft, when I plug in my USB devices they do not get auto-mounted, so I have to mount them manually each time. This also happens to many other people using Edgy Eft. I want to say, that Edgy Eft is a fantastc release, and I really love it. So, it is a pitty that this bug destroys things. Please fix it, and keep up the good work. :-)

Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for
machines to execute.

Indy, please use the web interface to attach the files.

Sure, but where can I find the url of the bug?

Here are the files, at last :-)

Thanks. First, can you provide the output from "ls -l /dev/sd*" and "id" ?
I think we eventually will need the full procedure from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices though.

OK, here are the other two command outputs.

Thanks, they were both fine. So we'll need the full https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices information. Can you please attach the files one by one, without any archives or compression. Very short data like one or two lines you may just paste into the comments as well.

Here are the others, as well, according to the url you gave me.

  • id Edit (165 bytes, text/plain)

Please ignore the first lshal.txt.

This attachment was not done by mistake. It is the same file as a previous attachment, on purpose. Please, do not ignore this.

I also thought, that it would be useful to attach the output of "sudo nautilus" as well, because I find it a bit weird.

Why do you run nautilus as superuser (with sudo)? Do you get any weirdness if you just run it normally?

I don't run nautilus with sudo daily. I just did it for testing
reasons. No, if I run it with user privilleges I don't get that error.

According to your g-v-m log, the device was automounted:

maybe it's just nautilus that fails? What does 'mount' show after you do this?
