Thread: USB drives inaccessible / Set mount point?

hi, installed kubuntu primary os no longer have dualboot. laptop running better now, except 1 major issue: it's "unable mount" usb devices.
i'm inexperienced , got bash script friend manually set mount point usb devices, , big hassle have create new 1 each time plugged in usb device. now, setting manual mount points doesn't seem good.
in dock of listed devices, error message displayed "could not mount following device: [etc]". happens devices connect laptop, , have purchased countless new sd cards because thought sd corrupted beyond repair.

have ideas on how fix this? none of previous mount points seem work. never had problem when dualbooting, , still using natty then.

thank you!

howdy,

mounting of removable devices handled desktop system, kde, gnome, xfce , on.

can manually mount first making mount point, figuring out device name , issuing mount command.

make mount point:
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/usb
plug thing in , then:
$ dmesg
see detected, e.g. sdc1
mount on mount point:
$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb
see there:
$ ls /mnt/usb

never run command if don't understand means. therefore, if don't know above commands, google them first.
