Nemo does not show my USB-stick anymore
Nemo does not show my USB-stick anymore.
I hear a sound when I plug in my USB stick, but it does not show up in Nemo.
BTW: I have the impression that Mint/Cinnamon is becoming buggier; I did a fresh install.

Re: Nemo does not show my USB-stick anymore
Open a terminal and enter
Do you see the drive there?
Open the Disk tool from the menu. What does it show regarding the drive?
Did you format home (in case it is on an own partition) when you did the fresh install?
Create a new user account and check the behavior there.

I don't confirm. It is more likely, that problems come from your account.Roland wrote:BTW: I have the impression that Mint/Cinnamon is becoming buggier; I did a fresh install.

Re: Nemo does not show my USB-stick anymore
Thank you for your reaction.
See attachment.
I checked my settings in Nemo as well; even with Sudo Nemo the USB does not show up.

Re: Nemo does not show my USB-stick anymore
I see, that you have several usb ports, as well usb 2 as usb3. Does the problem exist with every port?
Your last notice about "sudo nemo" indicates, that your primary account will have ownership problems. Please remember for the future, that you must never use the command sudo in conjunction with any(!) graphical program - there is no exception to this rule. If really use gksudo instead.
For investigating into the ownership problem do this:
Mark the following command and press ctrl-c
open a terminal and press ctrl-shift-V
Mark the complete result inclusive the command with the mouse and press ctrl-shift-C
In the forum click the Code-button above the text box, than press ctrl-v.

Re: Nemo does not show my USB-stick anymore
I meant Sudo Nautilus, not Sudo Nemo.
I am installing Mint on a USB-stick now (USB-writer recognizes the stick!) and start a live-session to see if I can see my USB-sticks.
Code: Select all
roland@LaptopMint ~ $ find $HOME ! -user $USER -type f

Re: Nemo does not show my USB-stick anymore
I wrote, that the rule regarding sudo is valid for every graphical program without exceptions. So it does not matter in this respect whether nemo or nautilus.
But I wonder now, what changes you did else on the system? Nautilus does not exist by default in Mint Cinnamon.
What is the result in a fresh new test account?
What are the results with other ports?

Re: Nemo does not show my USB-stick anymore
Other ports: same result (a sound from the system, but Nemo does not show the stick).
I installed Nautilus just to check.
I created a new user: same results.
Live session: same result.
I am beginning to doubt if I ever saw the stick in Nemo...
Anyway: very strange. I will try another distribution later .
Thank you very much for your help!

Re: Nemo does not show my USB-stick anymore
Dear Cosmo,
I tried other USB-sticks, and most of them (not all) show up in Nemo!
But all of them result in a system sound: USB mounted.
So it appears to be a hardware faillure of some of my USB-sticks.
Thanks again for your help.

Re: Nemo does not show my USB-stick anymore
I follow your conclusion.
There is still the problem with wrong ownership open in your account, that must get solved:
Mark the following command completely and make sure, that you do not miss any sign, than press ctrl-c
Open a terminal and enter
and press the Enter-key; you get promped for your password, enter it.
Now still in the same terminal press ctrl-shift-V
Run this command and wait until it has finished.
Press twice ctrl-d
Immediately log off and back into your account.
