USB Stick not shown

[bigphredo]

I have USB memory stick and when I plug it in nothing happens, it works in windows on the same PC plus I'm pretty sure it worked before. The stick light comes on but now it does not show up on my desktop or in my mounted media. Is there anything I can try to get this to work?

Have you done anything (on the stick/in Mint) to "prepare it"
And you should have a line like this in /etc/fstab

none /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,devmode=0666 0 0

I don't have "none /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,devmode=0666 0 0" anywhre in that fie. Should I copy and paste it in. This what I have

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/hdd1

The line
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,devmode=0666 0 0
is necessary for a USB stick I think
Put it directly below the other line with proc in it (you need sudo for that)

I had this but after upgrading from Celena to Daryna. Have you tried this?
Unplug the misbehaving USB key (might be an MP3 player too.)
Type Alt+F2
Type gconf-editor; press enter.

In Gconf-editor, navigate to...
/system/storage/default_options/vfat
double-click the key listed in the right-hand pane and then remove the word "usefree" from the bottom of the list.
Close gconf-editor

Plug back in your USB key and see if it now automounts.

Good luck!
