Ubuntu 8.10 Unable to mount flash drive after recent update

[RussianWizard]

I applied some new updates last night and now I dont' have permissions to mount my flash drive. In both the etc/group and the User Settings I have permissions to automatically mount usb devices. I looked at similar bug reports, but theres too many logs to see what the soloution is.

So how do I fix this problem, and or roll back updates?

Edit: It can mount my ipod fine but it can't seem to mount any kind of flash drive.

Was this a kernel update?

Alright I found out why it wont work. For some odd reason my flash drive wants to use the same device id as one of my ntfs drives. How would I go about changing what device name usb drives use?

I reverted to an old fstab file and now my flash drive will recognize, but my ntfs drive won't. Heres the fstab file im using atm:

# /dev/sda1
UUID=47a13fa1-68c1-4fbc-b70d-b6f4f14cf32c /               ext3    relatime,erro$
# /dev/sda5
UUID=b3e3e180-8e6f-4ecf-aeb4-b91063feb58d none            swap    sw           $
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
/dev/sdb1 /media/Storage1NTFS ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /media/Storage2NTFS ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

Here's the drives I get when I type sudo fdisk -l:

/dev/sdb1   *           1       60801   488384001    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdc1               1       30401   244196001    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sdd1   *          16        7748     1979456    e  W95 FAT16 (LBA)

/dev/sdb1 is the drive that does not work

I guess you would do a fdisk -l with the usb drive plugged in to see what Ubuntu says about what the disks drive labels are first. Then copy and paste readout in next post.

Refresh your browser as I made a typo on that command.

I posted the results of fdisk -l as well as my fstab file in my post above.

I got it to work by installing pmount and recreating the dir for the drive that did't work. Now both the ntfs drive and the flash drive work

glad you got it sorted. I got called away on rescuing a broke down motorcycle on the freeway.

I know you already solved this problem. I'm having a similar problem with mounting USB thumb drives. What do I enter into the terminal command line to to recreate the dir?
