I'm using Kubuntu Hardy. These are the mount options used when it automounts:
Code:
/dev/sdf1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uhelper=hal,flush,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=lower)
OS is 4.3.0.127 Sprint
Are there any other files you can test with? song perhaps? Also, copy the file out first before opening it via terminal, so just do cp /media/disk/pic.jpg ~/
