[xubuntu-users] Thumb Drive & CD Mount Failure

[Luke Van Dervort]

thats probably the problem.

Heres what mine looks like:

drwxr-xr-x   1 root root    0 Apr 16 14:26 media

create one with the same permissions and then a another directory under 
that one with your username.

then give it another go.
