Hi there, everyone! A question form an absolute Linux newbie...
My scenario:
* Linux Mint XFCE on a PC in an office, four separate users
* Removable Media (a digital camera) is used by all users; all need to copy pictures from it to PC
Problem:
* camera was used once by user1, successfully. I suspect user1 did not unmount it after use, just unplugged
* user2 could not get camers to mount, getting meesage "operation already pending"
* user 1 attempted to mount again, unseccessully, same message
* now, no user can mount
Help?...

Re: mounting removable media - multiple users
USB devices should unmount automatically when unplugged, so I'm thinking this might be an Xfce issue (which I wouldn't know anything about since I'm not using it). Please state what version of Mint Xfce you are using.
To check whether the camera was unmounted correctly, see if - without the camera plugged in - this produces any output:
