I wonder if anyone on the list can help me. I have an external USB 1Tb drive, formatted as NTFS (but also see note about USB flash drives below). I am running Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64. The external drive used to automount up until two days ago. Now it doesn't, and as far as I know I haven't changed any settings. The curious thing is, this is only when using Gnome. I also have KDE, Xfce and LXDE on the same install. The drive automounts fine in KDE, Xfce, and LXDE. Output of fdisk -l is as follows, and I can (as root) manually mount /dev/sdb1 to a mount point created under /media. Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xc0a4eeff Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 3724 29912998+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 3891 7780 31246425 83 Linux /dev/sda3 3725 3890 1333395 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 8267 38587 243553432+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 8267 38587 243553401 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xc9f96a45 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 121601 976760001 7 HPFS/NTFS Hmm - just ran another test. USB sticks don't automount either, although they appear as /dev/sdc1 when I run fdisk -l. Any ideas?
