What do I have to install to read a vfat usb device. I had no problems under 11.1 but the newly installed 11.3 says it is not able to recognize the file system
I presume that the USB device is loading correctly.
If you run lsmod | grep fat what do you get?
If you look in /proc/filesystems is there mention of vfat?
I certainly don't remember explicitly installing anything to get vfat to work. It just worked the instant I plugged in a compatible device.
Same here up until installing version 11.3!
I don't know the details, but on my 11.3 machine running KDE when I connect a thumb drive I get a notification but it is NOT mounted automatically. What does happen is a new icon appears on the left hand side of my dolphin window. If I click on it, then the thumb drive gets mounted behind the scenes. If I don't want to use dolphin, I can also manually mount it from the command line, but I have use "dmesg | tail" to see what /dev/sdx it is. And the vfat module is not loaded on a fresh reboot. It is only loaded after I mount my first thumb drive, so lsmod is not actually telling you anything.
