I powered down and restarted. Then I installed usbmount. Then I restarted. Then I plugged in my card reader and got this message: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unable to mount EOS_DIGITAL Device /dev/sdd1 is already mounted at `/media/usb0'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- lsusb works now and shows this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rsteff@Enu-1:~$ lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.

So some progress, but why that error message? In Nautilus there's a little triangle to the right of the device name that one clicks on to umount a device. When I click on it I'm required to provide a password. The password box has this wording: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authenticate Authentication is required to unmount Generic USB CF Reader(/dev/sdd1) mounted by another user A application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication is required to perform this action.

One of more applications are keeping the volume busy. rsteff@Enu-1: /media/usb0/DCIM [Cancel] [Eject Anyway] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hit [Cancel], switched to a different directory in Nautilus and tried again. Same error message as before. This time I hit [Eject Anyway]. EOS_DIGITAL disappeared from the left hand pane of the Nautilus window. I jostled the USB plug when reaching to unplug it. Very briefly, EOS_DIGITAL appeared in the left hand pane of the Nautilus window, went away, and the "Unable to mount EOS_DIGITAL error message appeared: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unable to mount EOS_DIGITAL Device /dev/sdd1 is already mounted at `/media/usb0'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So this is a work-around, but it seems screwy. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
