not auto mounting removable drives - think I have an idea why
#2
Hi [member=6945]Sprintrdriver[/member] ,

There are a couple of factors here.
If you want LL automount the USB device, check that you have under
Start -> Settings -> Removable Drives and Media
under the "Storage" Tab the first 3 boxes checked.

There is also a Tab for cameras, see that too.

The other factor is that the drive that you connect must have been formatted
properly: For example FAT is fine. But NTFS disks cause trouble for Linux, since
NTFS is Microsoft proprietary filesystem and Linux has only Experimental/Partial
support for it. So, the USB connected device should have FAT filesystem or
other Linux supported filesystem: ext2, ext4, xfs, ...

(Same thing with SD cards)
