(ie, yum -y update == "up to date")
this used to work -- i don't know what changed.
when i would insert a usb thumb drive, the drive would
mount and i'd get an icon on the workspace. that no longer
works. i have two machines doing this. (one has no monitor
but the drive would be mounted automatically.) the third
machine still works.
i did systemctl -q | sort on a working and non-working machine
and diff'ed the output. the answer may be there but i didn't
recognize it. i did systemctl --list-unit-files and looked in particular
at the disabled ones (on the non-working machine) but, again, if
the answer was there i didn't recognize it.
online i got the advice:
Code: Select all
modprobe usb_storage
but it doesn't help. blkid (on the non-working) does not show the
device (the working one does).
i even rebooted (i know, i know) to no avail.
i looked in gnome's applications->system tools->settings and i didn't
see anything that looked relevant.
all of my online searches (maybe for the wrong subject?) have turned
up stuff that didn't seem relevant.
since the drive wasn't being detected (the diode on the drive doesn't flash)
(that's what i thought that diode meant) i did
Code: Select all
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/$ii/scan
i feel like i'm missing something that should be obvious.
