Please run this command: inxi -Fxz

In a terminal, then copy and paste the print out. Look for this symbol </> in the reply tool bar to format your reply. This ensures the integrity of the print out.

Also if there is TWO laptops, you are having issues with, please open a separate inquiry.

In Xubuntu you can find program ‘Disk’.
This allows you to automatically mount USB drives.

Hi Hitebrata

I meant if you could copy and paste your terminal print out to the reply box, then select all the print out and use this (tool) </> symbol in the reply bar, to format the print out thus keep it integrity.

See example of my print out, and is legible.

Reading your print out, there is no obvious reason why your USB is not mounting.

Are you able insert USB into a port, does it show up in your File system, but not on your desktop.

This is MXLinux, and uses the Xfce desktop as Xubuntu does, I have chosen not have mounted volumes appear on my desktop, as I have left that box unticked in desktop settings.

If this does not solve your immediate issue, then it is back to the drawing board.

@ Hitebrata… Great that your issue has been eliminated!!
But do you think you could let the rest of us know just what the fix was,
so that this info can be, perhaps, used by others?

Good to hear, can you please mark this topic as solved, and as Flyboy suggests a brief reason why this was solved for reference to readers in the future.
