[Bug 412319] [NEW] ubuntu not recognize my usb flash drive?

[paritis]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gphoto2

I've got a sandisk ultra backup 16GB usb drive. But Ubuntu doesn't even
recognize it. It shows up on 'Computer' but when I click on it, it
doesn't read it at all. I can't even mount it because it shows me an
error

I tried the following as well:

dimitris at dimitris-desktop:~$ fdisk -l
dimitris at dimitris-desktop:~$ fdisk *l

Unable to open *l
dimitris at dimitris-desktop:~$ tail dmesg
tail: cannot open `dmesg' for reading: No such file or directory
dimitris at dimitris-desktop:~$ sudo fdisk -l
