Usb memory stick not mounting

[neigun]

Hi Guys

First post for a while- good sign!

Anybody any idea how to enable automount for a usb memory stick? This was working awhile back but on upgrade to Ubuntu Gnome 13.04 and a new rig it stopped working. My external hard drive, keyboard and mouse are all working OK. I've also tried lsusb to see if the system is detecting it which it appears to be doing. Unfortunately I can't post the output as Ubuntu Gnome is playing silly buggers at the moment!

I'm using the 3.9 kernel and have the Gnome3 ppa installed.

Thanks in anticipation

Neil

System:

AMD FX-8320
M5A99X EVO R2.0
ATI 7750

Try editing fstab file located in /etc/fstab

Hi

This is the contents of my fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=6157bb30-3832-40ce-b137-2be21eb4a945 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=fab80716-a20a-490f-9279-ecca7e36d08a none swap sw 0 0

lsusb output is:

What would I need to insert in the fstab file?

Here :
This page describes the method
Tell me if it is working or not
It is for 12.10 but give it a shot
http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/12/...antal-quetzal/

In quick it is:
OPen terminal : tpye

blkid

Locate your usb drive copy the UUID
Open fstab file
In the end add this

UUID=XXXX-XXXX  /media/Backup vfat rw,user,suid,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 0 0 

(You can choose your mount point instead of /media/Backup)

Now create a mount point directory:

sudo mkdir -p /media/Backup

(Or any other mount point of your choice)
And type this :

sudo chown -R username /media/Backup

where username is your username

Hi Ranger

Must have gone through an upgrade but it's working now.
