    "Available devices" window no longer allows mount

    I just updated to vmlinuz-3.2.0-30-generic. Since then, when I switch on my external USB backup disk, the "Available devices" window sees it, but no longer allows me to click on the little square to mount it. Now all I can do is pick one of the actions proposed.

    For info, here is lsusb before switching on the device

    :~/jon-save/adrs_n_marks$ lsusb

    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

    and after

    This all worked find before the dist-upgrade. (Oh, I added the ppa-backports source when I did that update in order to get the latest Amarok, as I had problems with the old one.)

    I can mount the disk by hand with the mount command, but it does not show up at the same mount point (/media/disk-name), so my backup scripts do not work. Somewhat annoying.

    Just a wild guess, but I'd reinstall "fuse" and "mountall"
