Comment 7 for bug 482505

I don't believe that this is fixed yet. I have Ubuntu Lucid Beta which was up to date yesterday.

When I plug in a flash drive or an NTFS volume, the lights on the device flash but it does not appear is the list of "Places".

In order to make it work I have added the following 3 lines to /etc/rc.local

#use lspci |grep -i ehci to determine PCI device number of EHCI controller
#use result (00:1d.7) in command below
echo -n "0000:00:1d.7" /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind

I used those instructions because I found them at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1307542&page=6 (entry #57)

I am using an Acer Aspire One - but the same problem exists using an Asus PC with Karmic.

Perhaps this problem is slightly different to the one described above - but in my opinion it is a show stopper !
