Linux Lite doesn't see my USB sticks - nomko - 02-28-2016

Hi,

I've noticed this for some time now, Linux Lite doesn't show any of my 3 USB sticks in Thunar. Does anyone has a clue what's going on here? LSUSB does detect the sticks.

What happens if you plug them in, and in a terminal type:

Code:
lsusb

Can you see them.?, like my SanDisk Cruzer USB below:

Code:
dave@asus-mini-1:~$ lsusb

While Thunar can support automatic mounting and unmounting of removable media, the Thunar Volume Manager allows extended functionality, such as automatically running commands or automatically opening a Thunar window for mounted media.

Sorry I was not clear, did it have a descriptor.? like my SanDisk, Transcend or such like.
I had 2 old sticks that got recognised USB wise, but did not have ID & Descriptor, and did not show in Thunar or Disks

Does another system read them? They could be going bad.. I had some that Windows was able to see but file corruption was occuring... Or perhaps, try gparted, does it reconize the disks, maybe try re-partitioning/formating.. You will wipe disk doing so... some Bootable disks dont read correctly.. Thou LL will usually mount... But then a disk with no partition probably not...

Just some thoughts...
