I installed Ubuntu and I'm teaching my mother to use it. Everything is going fine except that her new USB pen drive (8GB - fat32) is not working in Linux (but it works in Windows and Mac).
OS: Kubuntu Lucid kernel: 2.6.32-28-generic
Before and after "lsusb":
root@desktop:/etc# lsusb

What else can be done? any help is appreciated.
fdisk -l
call lists your hard drive's partitions. Runfdisk -l /dev/sdb
and post the output.
