Usb flash drive not recognized in ubuntu 10.04 lts

Asked by Takeitout2day

Hello,

after i installed ubuntu 10.04 lts , as i was unhappy with 11.04, Ubuntu doesn't recognize any of my usb flash drives. I checked disk utility but they still didn't show up. To make sure that it wasn't my computer itself i booted to windows xp and they worked perfectly fine. I'm unsure of what to do as I've searched and not found anyone who has this problem or any answers on both offical ubuntu documenation and unofficial documenatation.

Can you reboot and login without the device attached and run:

lsusb; lsb_release -a; echo

Then insert the device, wait 10 seconds and run:

sudo fdisk -l; dmesg | tail; lsusb

Copy all the output and paste here as an update

Thanks

Hello,

I also did not like 11.04 but you can set the login to load Classic. This is 11.04 but looks like 10.10.

Regards,

Allan :)
