An uncle (just mistyped that as "unclue", oops!) of mine has bought an Aspire One and can't get his USB stick to work. Can anyone offer advice? His message below:
Hmm...My Aspire is no longer running the stock linpus distro..but when it was I had no issue with memory sticks not working. The file manager should just show them on the left..or I think you get a pop up anyway.
These haven't been reformatted at some point by a Windows machine to NTFS have they ?
You could talk him through opening a terminal (alt-f2 and xterm in the run box) and get him to run dmesg after inserting the stick and then copy/paste you the last 20 lines or so...there is no /var/log/messages on the SSD version I have..although there might be on the Hard drive version.
