   A quick google of the problem and it seems that many others have had
   this sort of problem under linux.  You can try to mount the stick via
   the command line with:

   sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 MOUNTPOINT

   But this probably will not work if Ubuntu cannot mount it
   automatically.  (Subsite in the directory to mount it to for
   MOUNTPOINT)

   It seems that a far amount of people have had luck solving the problem
   by reformating the drive.  To do this:

   sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/sda1

   Sorry I can not be of more help.

Are you kidding? thank you for your help, Alex.

I think one of the problems is the device is named sda
instead of sda1.
