I use ubuntu 9.04. Of late the autodetection feature/setting to detect usb pendrives has changed in my computer's configuration. Now if i insert the pendrive in the usb slot, it does not detect it. I have to restart the computer to detect the pendrives.
which configuration file needs to be edited/changed for the autodetect feature to work again?

Before inserting the pen drive in the USB slots run the following command, the tail will follow the log file /var/log/messages. Now insert the pen drive and paste the output you see on the screen
tail -f /var/log/messages

Sorry, I am not suggesting a solution here - just adding tot what you are saying so that the list knows.
Apparently, there is another issue that hampers the working of Reliance USB CDMA dongles. They worked seamlessly in 9.04; in 9.10 they don't!
The release looks slick visually, but I have reasons to believe that the quality aspect of the distro is going down.

but this is random behaviour. Sometimes the devices are detected and sometimes they are not.
This time after booting up i had inserted first the better usb drive(which does not give problems with detection and is mounted faster).
I again rebooted and tried insertion with the problematic pendrive into the usb hub. The system seems to have become ok now in that the problematic pendrive was also autodetected.

do #mkdir /media/flash #sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/flash
it will be mounted

This is a work around and requires "root" action via sudo. I have an external usb hard drive that never mounts the LED remains lit (even with sudo). dmesg output shows time outs.
Whereas the same unit on 9.04 is autodetected and the file manager opens up with the folders/files on the disk.

hi All,
I have just purchased the tata's SCX-1080 USB internet data card. When I purchased it I was unaware that this device will not work on latest Linux version.
I have Debian at home, so my question is how can this USB internet data card work on Debian?????
In old version there is wvdial.conf file which contains the require information to work internet on linux. but in newer version of Debian Lenny I cannot see that file.
How to install wvdial in Debain or newer version of Linux without internet connection if there is any way to do that?
Please help...I need to sort out this as soon as possibel??
Thanks & Regards,
Suraj Nayak

Get a .deb file for wvdial or the package that contains it for your distro from office/cybercafe/friend. Use dpkg to install it.

Since you installed debian without the net, you must have used the dvd. Install wvdial from the dvd.

For KDE lovers like me, the new KDE 4 and its successors appears to be a dead end. Even on my P4 machine with 512 MB RAM, KDE 4+ slows down the system. Its like upgrading to Vista from XP. There doesn't seem to be any light weight KDE 4+ that has the packages running without the load on the graphics. I had to move over to Debian Lenny in order to get the balance between KDE 3.5 and a latest system.
