I am seeing this too (dapper amd64 with all current patches). At some time in the past, I know that USB drives worked fine on this machine (probably the last time I tries was about six months ago), but now the system is simply ignoring them.
In the past hour I have tried three different USB drives, all of which work fine under Windows and/or Mandrake 2006. My Kubunutu system simply ignores them. No error messages anywhere. No nothing. This is a recently-rebooted system (yesterday). I plan to reboot again tomorrow for other reasons (to flash a BIOS upgrade -- which is why I wanted my USB memory drives to be working: so I could put the new BIOS on one instead of on a floppy disk), and we'll see if that helps any. -- usb flash drive not working. Lsusb hangs with no output. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77971 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
