USB Not Recognized

Hi Every One,
I’m New Here and I’m Just Install OpenSUSE 12.2 in My PC. The Problem Is, When I Plug-in USB in Port, Nothing Happened :frowning: How can I Access It? Please Help Me Out From This, Thank You

It should work out of box. You failed to mention the de you use (KDE,GNOME,XFCE…)
Also ,can you check if the usb manufacturer supports Linux ?

You can also check df
usb is in red

$df

I’m Using KDE, And I Also Check My USB Device in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS And It’s Work Fine There.

Type the following command in a terminal

udisks --monitor

then plug in your storage device. Note any output and post here if necessary.

This command should also provide useful info

dmesg|tail

Does the KDE notifier widget, or Dolphin show your device present?

My usb/pen drive is working fine.I am curious as to why “udisks --monitor” doesn’t give any out put though dmesg does provide some useful info.

Maybe you plugged in the device before launching ‘udisks --monitor’ perhaps? It’s not that verbose, but the --monitor-detail option can increase the verbosity.

I did insert my device couple of time when the monitor was running in gnome-terminal. I tried -detail,to no avail. Now we are officially in weird territory.
I forgot to mention that i have both udisks2 and udisks installed as SUSE Studio imagewriter refuses to works with udisks2 which is installed on a clean install.
I should probably remove one of them and try again.

$udisks --monitor-detail
