I'm resending this, as I got no answers:
I've just installed 9.3 on my wife's laptop. With 9.2, when she inserted her usb-stick, it was mounted automatically and a konqueror window opened and showed the contents. With 9.3, it does not work any more. mount /dev/sda1 -t vfat /media/usbkey works, but this procedure is not really practical. How can I revert to the 9.2 type functionality?
I've added /dev/sda1 vfat /media/usbkey -noauto to fstab, and now inserting the key opens a konqueror window, but the key is not mounted. I have to do it manually from konsole. any ideas to fully automate the process? thanks Fx

What happens when you insert the usb-stick? Does it mount at /media/??? like it should? What do you see in /var/log/messages? Is it the standard FAT filesystem? How about -- as root -- lsusb?

Your _usbstick_ was recognized by your system and it appears to have been mounted without errors, as noted by dmesg and lsusb. Unless, of course, the Prolific Technology Flash Disk is a different usb device.?.?.? Konqueror may not have opened automatically, but it certainly looks like the thumbdrive was mounted. Did you look at /media/xxx where your system would normally automatically mount the device? Such as /media/usbdisk? -- Christopher Shanahan

Jumping in the middle :) I have the same problem with 9.2 and mp3 player. On 9.1 it mounts and pops up konqueror. But on 9.2 I see a similar output - the device is recognized, it have been assigned to /dev/sda1, but after that it never go to the true mount routine. No entry in fstab is added, no directory in /media is created, and ... no konqeror. I had to add a manual entry in fstab, and to mount it manually in order to use it. Not a good solution, as this machine is used by newly "converted" friend family, and I tried to prepare the system to work as much as possible only using a mouse :) Cheers Sunny

AH! Glad to see I'm not the only one. My situation is very similar to what you describe, except that my family member was "forcibly converted" :-) and mostly satisfied with it, except for the usbstick snag. FX

Thanks, I already knew this :-) Either I don't do anything to fstab, and then I get the right messages when I plug the usbstick in, but Konqueror is not open and the stick is not mounted and has to be mounted manually via a terminal window, or I insert /dev/sda1 -t vfat /media/usbkey or something like this in fstab, in which case a Konqueror window opens, kindly displaying the contents of /media/usbkey, but the usbkey is NOT mounted, which means /media/usbkey is empty unless I open a konsole and type mount /media/usbkey. Why does 9.3 do half the job? thanks for your help anyway FX
