Hi! I’ve got a problem with my usb pen drives.
If I put some data inside, from the 2nd time I insert the pendrive in the computer I can’t write on the usb pen, I can’t change my files, and also they are hidden.
I’ve formatted them with the format/partitioner tool in yast, but I can’t solve my problem.
This happens with all my usb pendrives and also with the sd of my camera.
Is there something that I can do to solve this inconvenient?
Many Thanks!

you should always say what operating system and version you are using,
as well as what desktop environment and verion…
because if you are using 10.1 and gnome the answer is different if you
are using 11.2 and kde, or 11.4 and LXDE…so, i will assume you are
using what i use (ll.4 [not tumbleweed] and KDE4.6.0 [not 4.7]) and say:
i’ve not had that problem…but, when i am finished with a USB drive,
before i unplug it, or before i turn off (hibernate/sleep) the system i
click on the “Device Notifier” in the system tray, locate the USB device
and click on the little icon to its right (which here looks like a
circle with an up pointing arrorhead) which, if i hover over it says
“Click to safely remove this device.”…i click on that ‘safely remove’
and it tells me “The following device can be safely removed: Flash
Drive.” [it might say ‘camera’, ‘usb drive’ ‘monitor’ i don’t know] and
so then i unplug the pen drive…
is that how you have been doing it also?

Hi, I use Opensuse 11.4 with gnome 2.32.1, but I had the same problem also with 11.3 version (sorry for not tell it before…)
I use to remove safely the usb driver before disconnect, so I don’t think it’s a “bad using” problem, maybe it’s something in the system.

then it is probably either a hardware problem or maybe something about
the way you moved from 11.3 to 11.4 (dragging along messed up files and
configs)
you can try: use YaST to add a new text user, log out and then log back
in as that test user and see if your USB drives work as they should…if
they do you can bet there is something messed up in the config files in
your /home (which don’t usually get replaced when you upgrade from one
version to another…
well, i just looked at your forum history and see you have had all kinds
of problems…did the pen drives ever work like they should have? if
not then i’d guess hardware…
you could try booting from an 11.4 gnome live CD and see if they work,
if not it must be hardware…if they do work it must be
software…the software/settings/configuration files/etc etc etc on
your machine…
make sense?
