When I put in a usb drive, if I watch the logs, I see something about udisksd mounting it. That's in the udisks2 package. Is that installed? Also, a machine I used today was mounting usb drives but the owner would be set to root, so a non-root user wasn't allowed to write. Fixed it by commenting out the usb-related lines in /etc/fstab. (I don't know why they were there, but probably something left over from when I installed testing from a usb stick a few months ago.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
