USB Stick not shown
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?

Re: USB Stick not shown
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

Re: USB Stick not shown
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)

Re: USB Stick not shown
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!
