In fact I cannot mount ANY usb flash drives from mate. New, previously unused, usb keys do nothing more than display the usb drive icon when inserted. New drives do not even give the error message when trying to mount hem manually from inside nautilus. I can mount these devised from the console using: mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /media/usbkey and the data thereon is then made accessible within mate as /usbdrive. All these problems started after I once attempted to copy the contents of one usb flash drive to another on this system. Mate did not like that as I reported at the time but it seems that something basic got borked and nothing dealing with usb keys in Mate has worked right since. Is there some sort of 'reset' switch for mate? I mean, short of doing the MicroSoft thing and removing and re-instaling the entire software package? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
