Is this deja-vu or didn't you have this problem you posted a while ago? Stock questions: - USB2 or USB3 stick? - USB2 or 3 slot? * keep a terminal open, and 'dmesg -w' to get a persistent output -- plug stick in, and see if output changes (1) -- if notification pops up - yay, if not .. if the kernel/udev has acknowledged a change (1 above) its a secondary problem --(3) if you get a screenful of read/write errors you have a hardware problem ;) !

No this is new. Previously some of the sticks worked and some didn't. The latter ones were simply not seen at all. This time it is different. Sometimes an icon appears and it is all normal. Sometimes no icon, but when I check it has been seen and the contents are listed. Sometimes nothing at all. There are no error reports listed at all.
This is the case both with my new computer and my old one. I am wondering if the sticks are getting too old and unreliable now. They are all type three. The slots are either type three or 3.1.
Perhaps I should just get some new ones. Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
