Hi,

I have Ubuntu 12.04 and Kubuntu 12.04 installed on my internal hard disk and USB hard disk respectively. While Ubuntu easily see the partition on USB hard disk and auto mounts, Kubuntu fails to auto mount it. Both are updated fully, why is the difference?

Partition table entries are not in disk order

see systemsettings -> removable devices -> attached drives

for all removable drives:
1) -> enable automatic mounting .........., click preferences
or for only that 1 drive:
2) -> select the usb driv -> click automount on login & automount on attach
