And what "icon of the device" would that be?
We checked all of the icons everywhere and found nothing for the
device. We checked every item on every menu and found nothing about
unloading devices. The Help manual says how to plug in a thumb drive
but not how to unplug it.
I have checked all of the questions and answers on the Asus website.
There are a few similar questions but no answers.
I suspect it's a bug in the Linux on the Asus.
Doesn't anybody else want to plug a thumbdrive into an Asus? I can't
believe the question hasn't been asked before.
