    USB Problem

    Hello
    I have been a bit of a idiot and screwed up my computer. I was trying to free some space and get my computer to boot quicker by deleting programs I don't use in synaptic, but I think I've deleted something I shouldn't have by mistake. No USB drives will mount in nautilus. Certain programs such as 'Disk utility' recognise its there, but in nautilus, nothing shows up. I can't find it in /media, and it doesn't show in the side bar. Any thoughts, maybe you know what I uninstalled so I can install it again. Thank you.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install gnome-volume-manager

    btw, deleting stuff will not make your computer start faster or run faster, hardly anything is running its not like winblows.. you can see whats running by doing

    Code:
    top 
    
    -or-
    
    ps aux
