It's great how Ubuntu displays plugged-in devices right on the desktop. This is a Mac touch that I'd almost forgotten about after years of Microsoft's shifting drive letters. The only snag - and it's a serious one - is that Ubuntu reserves unto itself the right to decide which devices it will deign to recognize. Some USB sticks yes, others no. My external hard drive is also totally ignored.
The not-always-that-helpful forums seem only to discuss, in their arcane way, the problem of no USB devices being recognized.
Another weird 'feature' is that, sometimes, seemingly randomly, it becomes impossible to drag files on to a USB stick. What's going on here?
And what's all that "Unmount volume" stuff about? How about understandable English - maybe "Disconnect device"?
