Title:
  Unable to mount USB memory devices

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  It was working flawesly in this same version of ubuntu Hardy Heron. After some rutinary updates automouting for usb memory sticks and mp3 players have stopped working. If I go to the computer:/// in nautilus (using gnome here) and click on the usb icon an error message is displayed: "no se pudo montar el lugar. no se pudo montar el archivo" ("not possible to mount the device. Not possible to mount the file"). Mounting from the shell ( mount -v -t vfat -o noatime /dev/sdd /media/sdd1
  ) only works for one of my 3 memory devices (a sansa clip mp3 player). The other two (kingston memory stick and an old easy system mp3 player) the command returns: 
  " wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd,
         missing codepage or helper program, or other error".

  dmesg | tail output:

  "[ 7321.129926] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: write through
  [ 7321.155885] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] 1004544 512-byte hardware sectors (514 MB)

  The weird thing is the 3 devices mount flawesly in my other linux
  distro (gentoo)...

  Expecting: it should be possible to mount the devices from
  computer:/// in nautilus or even they should automount themselves. If
  not, they should be mountable from the command line with the "mount"
  command.
