Unable to open Lexar JumpDrive

[jrtayloriv]

I have a Lexar JumpDrive 128 MB memory stick that I want to be able to use on my Gentoo box. When I pop in in, I get a dialog box that asks if I want to open the new device in another window, or not do anything. When I tell it to open in a new window, it gives me the following message:

First, the usual, is the user you are using in the plugdev group, if not, add them (this is usually the problem, you may need to log out and back in to kde for the change to take effect).
Do you have pmount installed, if not install it (probably not the problem, but you should still have it installed).
Are all your configuration files updated, if not, do it.

Try restarting the hald service.

Custom udev rules sometimes screw things up. If you added some, you might want to disable them and restart hal and udev to see if that helps (not certain which services need to be restarted to update the udev rules if any).

If that doesn't help, you need to post the versions of hal and udev that you are using, what platform you are using (such as x86), whether this is the only device that acts like this (or if you don't know because this is the only plug in device you have), when this behaviour started (such as, used to work but now it doesn't or it doesn't since an update or since a crash or since I added something)

Thanks,

It was not having my user in the plugdev group in /etc/group (and I did have to log out and log back in).

Appreciate the help....
