Gabor, The solution is simple. I am guessing you've recently installed Ubuntu 8.10, so I bet you haven't installed the 'usbmount' package.
Undo any changes you've made, reboot (just to be on the safe side) then install *usbmount* and try again. It worked for me as soon as I installed the packge - no need to restart or even to log out and log in again. I tried one of those DOKs by SanDisk with the U3 system and it just mounted two separate devices. I didn't know it is possible to remove the U3 system and that is why I refrain from buying the Cruzer hardware. I don't use it or plan to use it, so I will follow Shahar's advice and remove the U3 system. Good luck! .:====================================================:.
