USB not connected

[glittershine]

Hi, I'm a linux gnome newbie since Christmas time.

By accidently, about a month ago, I somehow deleted my internet and went searching on the internet to find out how I did it but before I did that, I tried rebooting it completely and of course, newbie here, I pressed buttons and changed a few settings. I got my internet back but this isn't the problem.

Everytime I put something into one of the USB ports, nothing happens; USB memory stick, USB phone cable. I don't know what to do.

Please help.I'm sorry if I've posted this in the wrong message board. I'm new to this too.

Thanks in advance.

If I understood correctly then before the USB mounter automatically but now it's not. I suggest the you mount it manually and see whether it is working then. You will have to create a mount point and mount it using the mount command. Since I see that you are a newbie here is an example.

This code creates a mount point

mkdir /mnt/usb

Now the real mounting

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

now go into the usb

cd /mnt/usb
ls

If you still encounter problem reply back .
