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
