Oooops! My GOD I came to discover that my new OS cannot mount my USB stick although it can mount and read a USB Card reader with Memory Card of any type plugged in the same USB ports also it can see everything in my USB Mass Storage drive. I tried also my Digital camera with USB support it read pretty fine.

The issue is only and just USB memory Stick. You can't believe
Is the OS running on a virtualized environment OR standalone?
Fdisk -l will show the /dev/sdb1 with the capacity of my memory stick, Now I am about to run crazy again, I cannot afford to run my new OS without USB stick functionality. I have googled and tried a lot of everything said there in the forums but all in VAIN. Actually I have discovered that it is not only me but many have had this experience though some said they solved by disabling their floppy device on BIOS but to me and many more other has not solved the problem.

I have now reached at the point that Either I go BACK to my 8.04 though I thought I could enjoy much on Ubuntu with 10.10 OR I get the Last help and my LAST RESORT is you Guys.
Persnally if you cannot wait for 12.04 LTS which is around the corner, i suggest you make use of 10.04LTS as it has long time security support, even more that 10.10
It reminds me of OUR Late Lecture for Computer Science in 2000 at the University of Dar es Salaam the LATE Dr. Mbise who was always preaching US that "IF YOU FIND YOU ARE USING A LOT OF ENERGY OR A LOT OF THINKING IN ANYTHING TECHNICAL THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT EITHER YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG OR SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM" i.e. Life is supposed to be easier and not difficult in the computing world.

Now please help me out of this predicament as I consider to go back to UBUNTU 8.04 just for the USB Memory functionality.

Excuse me for the long STORY this is to make sure That my problem is well Understood.

Thanks,

Yasini.

Regards
