Thread: Froze up my usb ports???


ok, other day had micro sd card inserted in usb card reader. few hours later passing computer , realized had not yet stuck in phone. assumed had unmounted it, yanked out. have no worries losing data anyway... so- little later stuck compact flash card in reader transfer photos over, not mount. looked , nautilus still showed 2gb card in places, options greyed out. /media/disk folder still there, not remove (i don't recall error message was) or cd it. re-inserting micro-sd card didn't either. so, decide log out, , log in, thinking might clear up. that's big problem started- mouse , keyboard (both usb devices) quit working- unresponsive. think hard reset. once rebooted, fine again.

so, moral of story make sure unmount devices before pulling them computer. but- if in state, there proper way out of it?

i've never had problem in xp. i'm guessing it's because of setting (see attached picture)...

thanks,
bm
