This started happening, I think, after an upgrade.
If I reboot, login and insert a USB stick it does not mount although it used to.
Using the file manager the USB appears in "Computer" but clicking on the USB entry produces a window alert "An operation is already pending"
The aberant USB works on other linux machines and other USBs that work elsewhere also fail to work as well so this is an OS problem.
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="USB DISK" UUID="79D0-5F8F" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="797cd3d3-01"
Can mount (as root) using a mount command
Code:
mount /dev/sdb1 usbmnt
dmesg shows this;

Forums show this is a common problem for Mint and Ubuntu but solutions mostly seem to involve the problem suddenly disappearing. One solution proposes disabling automount. Which I would rather not do.
Anyone else encountered this?
