Hi Ranjan,
Please give me a bit more detailed feedback -
- what kind of UI you are using with F18?
- uname -a - current kernel
- did you know that Fedora has an /run folder that has been added?
- lsusb ?
If you are using LXDE witch is basicaly openbox with some graphics tools, you have to know that such lightweight systems at default has no automount - only if it's something hasn't been added. So, can you give more clearer info?
I'm using XFCE, and that doesn't auto mount, but it does put an icon on the screen so I can choose to mount, or put the device in /etc/fstab, in which case it will get mounted. All USB devices should be mounted in fstab by UUID, use blkid to find out what it is. Mounting by device name may give you a "learning experience" if you plug something else in!
Thanks,
Zoltan

Hi,
I am a bit at a loss as to how to get USB flash drives to mount on F18. It has been such a long tome since this has not worked from off-the-shelf in Fedora or anything that I have perhaps forgotten what to do (maybe I never knew):
Here is the output from tail -f /var/log/messages (as the USB is put in):

Nothing happens as far as pcmanfm goes, and I can't see where this goes. I guess I could go in for a hardwired manual mount, but I wanted to first see if there was some more general fix first.
df does yield the following entry:
tmpfs tmpfs 990M 4.2M 985M 1% /run
but I can't seem to get to it.
Any suggestions, please?
Best wishes, Ranjan
