[Solved] None of usb storage devices cant be found

None of usb storage devices cant be found. This feature worked, and my usb stick and camera worked perfectly. After a while (some updates) I have tried to use my devices, but non of them is working.

What happened? Can some one help? Is anybody else had similar problem?

Thanks.

Can you give us more information? What desktop environment are you using, if any? Do the USB devices show up as /dev/sd*?

Plug them in and use 'fdisk -l' to check.

fdisk -l has no output

ls /dev/sd* output is

/dev/sda   /dev/sda2  /dev/sda4  /dev/sda6  /dev/sdb   /dev/sdb2
/dev/sda1  /dev/sda3  /dev/sda5  /dev/sda7  /dev/sdb1  /dev/sdb5

I have two hard drives so sda and sdb are my hard drives.

This output is for my Canon 350D, but my flash drive works.
When I better think, yesterday I tried IPod to connect and did not work.

uname -r and pacman -Q linux
/me bets they differs.

edit: canon 350d doesn't work as mass storage device, use mtp instead for it. (gphoto and friends)

I've found this problem occasionally after a kernel upgrade...try (gasp) a reboot...

fdisk -l has no output

True, for a regular user. Run it with sudo:

sudo fdisk -l

With digikam my Canon works. Next time when my buddy comes with his IPod I will try it and place results here.
I am changing to Solved until then.
