-=WELCOME=- new poster…but, it is almost always necessary to declare
the operating system and version you are using, as well as the desktop
environment and version…and, this time is no exception:

which SUSE operating system and version did you install? (for example
openSUSE 11.3, 11.4, 12.1, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop/Server
(SLED/S) version 10 or 11, note there is no just plain ‘suse’)

depending on what you installed, it is not normally necessary to mount a
flash drive on modern Linux distros…just plug it in, it is seen and
offered to you…here, i get a nice pop-up saying a new device has been
detected and how do i want to use it…

what desktop did you install? (i ask because the auto-popup is provided
by KDE4…

and, if you installed the system while the flash was connected it might
have made a fstab entry for it, in which case the auto-mount won’t work…

i dont know which is the version
i installed it by net install cd today
i think that it is the last version of suse
linux kernel is 3.1.0-1,2-default
the desktop is twm
after plugging flash there is no changes in fdisk -l or cat /proc/partitions

minimilist, or old/thrifty hardware?

so, you said in the first post “i cant mount any flash drive
suse dont recognize any flash.” so what did you do, what was the mount
command you used? what was the error thrown?

please show us the terminal input/output from your mount command and the
following (begin without the flash connected):


cat /etc/fstab
cat /etc/mtab
mount
lsusb
cat /etc/SuSE-release
then insert the flash and grab these
cat /etc/fstab
cat /etc/mtab
mount
lsusb

copy/paste the in/output back to this thread using the instructions
here: http://goo.gl/i3wnr

and, tell what file system if any is on the flash
