F18: USB flash drives do not mount

[Ranjan Maitra]

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

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?

Thanks,

Zoltan

Hi Zoltan,

Thanks very much for the response.

LXDE+openbox, but this did "work" with F17.

I don't quite know what this means, sorry. I know that since F17, these
devices have been loaded onto /run.

Sorry I am using LXDE. How do I get this working. However, I may note
that the F17 LXDE spin had this included by default. The change from
F17 to F18 is not important for me, but how do I get this going again.

Many thanks again!

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!

In XFCE, "Settings->Removable Drives and Media" allows you to specify
if you want stuff mounted or not. By default, no it doesn't mount, but
you can have it mount if you wish. I prefer no automount because I don't
necessarily like the file manager popping up when I insert a USB stick
or a CD/DVD but that's just me.

So do I.  Under Settings, go to Removable Drives and Media.  On the 
Storage tab, there's an option to have them auto-mount if that's what 
you want.

Neither do I.  That's why I have Xfce set to automount but not browse.

HI,

I was wondering if anyone had any further suggestions on this?

Many thanks,

I believe we already answered this. By default, Fedora 17 and up
do NOT automatically mount removable media. An icon for the media
generally will appear on your desktop, but you have to double-click
it to mount and open it.

Depending on your desktop manager (Gnome, XFCE, KDE, whatever), there
are various ways to change that behavior. Under XFCE (my desktop), you
can go to "Settings-->Removable Drives and Media", and set various
options. There are similar things under other desktops.

Also note that, by default, media now mount at 
/run/media/<username>/<filesystemlabel> as opposed to general 
"/media/<filesystemlabel>" as
used in F16 and earlier.
