USB memory devices not working (unable to mount)
I have an annoying problem. On my laptop all of my USB memory devices stopped working. They all worked fine until few days ago, I don't remember doing anything to affect it myself. Until that day I used Ubuntu 12.04. I thought maybe I could fix the problem by upgrading Ubuntu, so I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10, but the problem was still there, and I finally upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04, but it didn't fix the problem.
When I insert a USB memory stick, this is the message I get:
Unable to mount volume (NAME OF THE DEVICE). Device /dev/sdb1 is already mounted at `/media/usb0'.
My phone and mouse work fine.
I can see what's on the USB stick, but I can't delete it or write or paste anything new since the only available options are Copy, Eject and Properties.
I'm so bad with the terminal, usually when I have some problem I just reinstall the OS, but I can't do it now since I have some personal files that I don't want to lose.
