[Bug 1069262] Re: I have the same problem with two upgraded versions of Ubuntu 32bit 12.10. USB, alternate partitions of the boot drive are not available. They can be manually mounted via sudo mount, but are not otherwise accessible.

See bug #1048059: The workaround is to open a terminal, then enter the
following without comments, $USERNAME being a variable. Here you should
fill in your actual username:

# Add a folder
sudo mkdir /media/$USERNAME

# assign the folder to my user
sudo chown $USERNAME.$USERNAME /media/$USERNAME

Please give feedback wether this helps.

Kind regards,

Stefan

Title:
  I have the same problem with two upgraded versions of Ubuntu 32bit
  12.10.  USB, alternate partitions of the boot drive are not available.
  They can be manually mounted via sudo mount, but are not otherwise
  accessible.

Status in The Util-Linux-ng Set of Utilities:
  New
Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have always transferred my photos from camera to computer memory by
  removing the SD card and using a card reader rather than bringing the
  camera to the computer and connecting directly.

  I've been doing this for years without problem and did it without
  problem earlier this week under 12.04.

  Today under 12.10 I do exactly the same but I get the message:

  Unable to mount 2.0 GB volume.
  Adding read ACL for uid 1002 to 'media/myname' failed: Operation not supported.

  I have tried two SD cards but the result is the same.

  The card is recognised by the system and its icon appears on the left
  hand side of the screen but clicking on it has no effect. It also
  appears in the file manager but clicking on it produces the error
  report.

  I have read the paragraphs on Media Card Reader problems in the 12.10 Help but found no solution since nothing has changed 
  except the version of Ubuntu. There is mention of the possibility that direct connection of the camera might work but I want to keep my present practice and avoid having to bring my cameras to the computer room. 

  Help would be appreciated!
