Mounting of USB devices broken in Dapper? - SOLVED

[Vayu]

Is it the 18.2 versions that don't work? When looking in synaptic, it 
shows I have 18.2 installed, can I just install 18.1 over that? What 
about some of the other HAL libs that also show 18.2, do I have to track 
down everything 18.2 and replace with 18.1?

I did a dist-upgrade to get those packages. After that my system would 
lock up after 10 min. I played around with a bunch of stuff, finally got 
it working (one of those I don't know what I did right times, possibly 
unrelated beryl problem) except that the automount is now worse than before.

Before it wouldn't show an icon, but I could go to /media and see the 
device there. If it was a memory card I could then right click to safely 
remove, now the devices don't even appear in /media. Also the initial 
dialog that would come up to open still comes up but closes and does 
nothing when I click ok. lsusb shows the device, I don't know what to 
check beyond that.

I have no access any more. What would be the /dev/?? to try to manually 
mount?
