apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected saucy staging

** Description changed:

  I acquired a usb stick from Vodafone with 8 GB, ever since then I tried
  to use the stick on Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot 32 Bits and 64 Bits. In both
  cases I cannot see the device on Nautilus.
  
  The syslog shows several lines like these:
