Any Linux folks? Ubuntu issue

| Mosca Member since: Dec 14, 2009 Threads: 74 Posts: 1628 | I don't want to ask this in an Ubuntu forum, I want to see what I can find out casually without digging deep into the OS nuts n bolts. This afternoon, while watching the Steelers look like an NFL-Europe team, I set up an old laptop with Ubuntu (11.04). I got it configured pretty well; wireless, sound, email, all that stuff. But what I can't figure out is how to get it to read a USB thumb drive. I used a thumb drive to install the OS; the USB icon showed on the desktop. But after I ejected the drive and restarted, it doesn't show up. It appears in the disk utility, and I can format it, and test it; but I can't figure out how to mount it and access it. What I want is to have the drive mount automatically, without having to choose anything, just like in Windows or Mac OS. Part of the fun is just poking around. Ubuntu is strange, to me; it can be used in an extremely superficial manner, surfing the 'net or as an office tool. Or it can be used in a hard core way, like people think of Linux, with command lines and /dev and all that. But there's nothing inbetween, nothing that connects the hard core guts to the casual user. You either know it, or use it, but there's nothing to connect the two that is easy to find. NO KILL I |

| harryhood Member since: Sep 22, 2011 Threads: 1 Posts: 6 | Open a terminal and type gconf-editor Go to apps>nautilus>preferences. There should be media_automount entries there. Does dmesg show anything whrn you plug in the device? I'm on 10.10 because I don't have the hardware for 11.xx, so these instructions might not be totally correct for you.

Open a terminal... Uh, what is that? I found gconf-editor before posting here, through Find, but I couldn't find apps>nautilus>preferences. I found apps>nautilus, but no preferences. NO KILL I |

OK, I found it. Both media-automount and media-automount open were checked. NO KILL I |
