Hello,
I am currently installing a computer with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. Right after my installation, the USB ports were working perfectly (my USB stick appeared on the desktop and I could use it).
I made some tweaks to try to get a Windows driver working with ndiswrapper, and I deleted some things in the process.
Since the reboot this morning, when I plug in my USB stick, it does not appear on the desktop or in the file manager!
However, when I run lsusb with the stick unplugged, it shows only one line, and when I plug in the stick and run lsusb again, it shows 2 lines, one of which is a flash drive. So it recognizes my stick, but I can't use it!
A little help would be appreciated!
Thank you

Oh, actually I spoke too soon... the problem has come back!
Everything was working very well, but now again it doesn't mount my USB stick. Just like before the reinstallation.
What I've done in the meantime:
- installed ndiswrapper (software to use Windows drivers on Ubuntu, for my Wi-Fi card)
- installed a driver with ndiswrapper for my PCI Wi-Fi card
- uninstalled network-manager
- installed wicd instead of network-manager
So my Wi-Fi card is working very well, but now my USB ports are failing!
However, the lsusb command returns:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 090c:1000 Feiya Technology Corp. Flash Drive
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
So apparently it recognizes my stick (when the stick is not plugged in, the first line flash drive is not there). However, I don't know what the second line means, nor if it could be related.
Could there be a connection with ndiswrapper? And the drivers for my USB?
If someone could help me....
P.S.: the fdisk -l command returns a lot of information about my hard drives, but I don't think I see anything related to my USB stick..

Thank you for your response,
I ended up reinstalling everything and took the opportunity to format it properly. It works perfectly!

Hello,
So here it is, I wanted to try to mount it manually, but actually, I don't know which device to mount ^^ I mean, what do I put? "sudo mount /dev/??? /mnt"?
I also noticed that when I mount my second hard drive (with "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt"), which is 40Gb, it disappears from the desktop! Is that normal?
If I unmount it, it reappears in the list, and then I can click on it, it mounts automatically and I can access it.
My config: There are 2 physical hard drives: one of 8Gb (which should be sda1?) and one of 40Gb (which should be sdb, with the sdb1 partition on it?), along with a CD reader.
The result of fdisk -l:
and the result of sudo mount -l:
The USB drive is connected at the moment I do this, and my second disk (40Gb) is not mounted, it appears on the desktop and I can click on it to mount and access it.
Thank you for your help!

Hello,
we are going to try to mount the key

I think you meant to write sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cle, without the -t, right?
When I use the -t option, it gives me the information about the mount command and suggests displaying the man page, as if the command was misused.
But anyway, sdb1 corresponds to the only partition on my second physical hard drive, not to my USB stick ^^
When I do mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cle, my hard drive does disappear from the desktop, however, if I go into the cle folder, I can access the documents on my second physical hard drive (it mounts properly).
Regarding the fdisk -l command, I ran it with and without the USB stick plugged in; there is no change (I compared both results with the cmp command after redirecting them into files). Shouldn't my USB stick appear in the list when it's plugged in?
In fact, the only difference I noticed when I plug in my USB stick is that the lsusb command detects that a stick is plugged in.
Thanks for trying to help me :)
