When I first installed ubuntu, 8.10, usb drives mounted fine. Then somewhere along the way, I lost permission to mount them. I upgraded to Jaunty, hoping to fix the problem, but I still don't have permission to mount the usb drive. The system "sees" it under PLACES -> COMPUTER as "4.1 GB Media", but when I plug it in, I get a dialogue box stating "Cannot mount volume. You are not privileged to mount this volume." I get the same dialogue box when I right click and try to mount it from the drop down menu. My username is an administrator and the "Access external storage devices automatically" box is checked under SYSTEM -> ADMINISTRATION -> USERS & GROUPS. Help! I need to do some backups!
