    Re: usb flash drive works in 12.04 but not in 13.10

    A small fraction of all the updates are kernel updates. Probably you have a few kernels, that are available to select at the grub menu. You can also see files belonging to different kernels in /boot

    Code:
     ls -l /boot
    The difference between 12.04 and 13.10: They are systems with different kernels and drivers. That there are different partitions has no influence.

    That does'nt explain why my 13.10 install writes the mount of my usb dongle to the adjacent 12.04 tho

    Re: usb flash drive works in 12.04 but not in 13.10

    Sorry if I have not made myself clear, how else do I explain that the pendrive is recognised as mounted in 13.10 when there is no file in media to support it, whereas on the working 12.10 the pendrive files are in media.
    I am using 3.10.0-6 generic on 13.10 and 3.2.something on the 12.04 these two distros share a 500gb hd half and half.
    So it seems to me that 13.10 is looking over the partition seeing the drive as mounted, already active, there.
    That's not very scientific I know, but I like to think i'm a bit intuitive.
    Thanks everyone, I have learned something more, I've never really investigated the kernel till now that's another few cups of coffee for the future.

    Re: usb flash drive works in 12.04 but not in 13.10

    ortermagic,

    Do this. unplug the usb device, then monitor the output of syslog,
    Code:
    tail -f /var/log/syslog
    , then plug the usb device back in.
    Wait for either it got mount or 5 minutes. Then copy the results back here.
    [When you've copy&paste, then Ctrl+c will exit the tail.]

    Example:

    Re: usb flash drive works in 12.04 but not in 13.10

    Please try all these commands (in 13.10) in a row and note carefully what happens after each step, just to check if you can mount the pendrive manually and after that actually read and write file to and from it. After rebooting

    Plug in the pendrive and wait for 10 seconds.

    1. Try to mount the pendrive

    Code:
    sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
    2. Check if mounted and how it is mounted. The pendrive should be mounted now.

    Code:
    df
    Code:
    cat /etc/mtab
    3. If the pendrive is not mounted (not found by df), please wait for 5 minutes and try again

    (go back to item 1. a couple of times before giving up.)

    4. Try to list files and watch the permissions

    Code:
    sudo ls -l /
sudo ls -l /mnt
    5. Try to create an empty file in the pendrive and check that it is there

    Code:
    sudo touch /mnt/empty
sudo ls -l /mnt/empty
    6. Try to create a file and write contents to it, check that it is there, and that it's content can be read

    Code:
    sudo -s  # enter a superuser shell
echo "hello world" > /mnt/hello.txt
ls -l /mnt
cat /mnt/hello.txt
exit   # exit from the superuser shell (important to remember this command)
    7. Check that the pendrive is mounted (after the writing tests)

    Code:
    df
    8. Try to unmount the pendrive

    Code:
    sudo umount /mnt
    9. Check if the pendrive is mounted (after trying to unmount the pendrive). It should not be mounted now.

    Code:
    df
    10. Check again if the files are there (at /mnt)

    Code:
    sudo ls -l /mnt
    If the pendrive was mounted there, when you wrote to /mnt, the files should be in the pendrive, and should not be seen at /mnt after unmounting. But they should be seen again after mounting the pendrive (in 12.04 or 13.10 or another computer).
