Hello all.
I recently bought an 8gb Patriot flash drive planning to transfer a bunch of files from my Arch laptop to my Windows desktop. It had sounded as though Arch would auto-mount the flash drive, but whenever I plug the drive in I get the following error.
I tried following the wiki, and found under /dev/disk/by-label a file named "PATRIOT". I then did "mkdir /mnt/usbstick", and tried "mount PATRIOT /mnt/usbstick". To which terminal outputs "mount: special device PATRIOT does not exist".
The drive also shows up in my file manager, but I get the same error whenever I try to click on it.
Help?

There are a couple of things you could try:
1. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL … t_Problems
2. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ude … unmounting
3. Depending on your DE/WM, start it with
exec ck-launch-session {Gnome,Xfce,KDE,etc}

#3 did it, added that to ~/.xinitrc, rebooted, and PATRIOT popped right up!
Thanks for the speedy response!
