Nothing to pardon :-) That was the output of the "mount" command I sent in an early post, just after I plugged the USB key.

First, check the device perms with "mount" command and put here the results. > $ umount /dev/sdb1 > umount: /dev/sdb1: not mounted > umount: /media/video: must be superuser to umount umount: /dev/sdb1: not > mounted > umount: /media/video: must be superuser to umount So same message you got with your usual user :-/ > that was done under the new user login, not root. along with that "right > click-unmount" on the media icon in GNOME results in nothing. no error, > no unmounting. Mmmm, no error message in linux uses to mean the operation was performed "ok". Only "errors" are displayed to the user. So after clicking "umount" on device icon, check the device status with "mount" command.
