Oh, yeah, forgot to say, I tested different USB keys (all FAT32), they all behave the same. All where used to host a live USB though... Another thing is that they all work on another laptop with Linux Mint installed.
I managed to find a key that worked. The main difference of that key is that it's a USB3-compatible one. It might that it was erased "better" than the others after hosting a live USB, though I don't remember doing anything different with it.
If it helps, Gparted recognise the partition of the USB sticks not working as "iso9660" (I'm positive they're in fat32 and they are recognised as fat32 on the other laptop), while the USB stick that is working is actually recognised as a fat32.
I'm clueless about what's happening... Thanks for your help!
Cheers, Pierre

Hi!
Since a recent update (also had a problem with snapper rollback, so I can't be too sure the problem is from the update), I can't mount fat32 USB sticks any more using Plasma interface. The displayed name of the USB key is wrong (it displays a name like Kubuntu-x64-xxxx from when the USB was formatted to be a live USB, which it's not any more, very strange!) and clicking on "Open in File Manager" results in "Impossible to mount".
This means that you did not erase the critical areas before formatting it again as FAT. That situation has been described here some time ago, but I don't remember details enough to locate the thread or link.
It doesn't fully explain why it does not mount automatically, only why the label is confused. maybe the system is sufficiently confused to not attempt to mount automatically.
I would, thus, try with a new stick or a used one that you did not repurpose.
I am running Tw 20170622 and have no problem reading fat16/32 cards via a usb3 hub or usb2 hub. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
