(Get the code!)
There's two independent problems which present themselves. Sometimes the
'disk type' attribute becomes corrupted and the USB stick can no longer be
automounted by most OSes (Windows is the exception). The other issue is in
the configuration within Gnome. Gnome is sometimes set to ignore certain
disk types and will no auto mount them.
You can check your disk type attribute using the mtools package.
$ echo "drive i: file=\"/dev/sdb1\"" > ~/.mtoolsrc
$ sudo minfo i: | grep disk\ type
Note: the path to your usb device may be different than /dev/sdb1. You can
scan /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog to determine where your device
might be located.
If you get anything other than FAT32, you probably have a corrupt USB stick
and will need to reformat. I've found no fix other than reformatting.
If everything checks out, your system may not be configured correctly.
There's a number of ways this can be fixed. One of the more common problems
is on laptops without CD/DVD drives. The fstab line for the optical drive
needs to be commented out. That fixes most issues. There's also a
configuration within Gnome that sometimes goes amiss. You should be able to
google a resolution to that issue.
Either way, I'm pretty sure Ubuntu is no longer corrupting drives.
