Try to mount manually. Open Terminal and type “sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt”, then type “ls /mnt”, finally type “sudo umount /mnt” Can you see anything? ---

He nishimot, thanks for your reply. I checked it: > **Summary** > > cpi@buex:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt > mount: /mnt: Spezialgerät /dev/sda1 ist nicht vorhanden. > cpi@buex:~$ sudo umount /mnt > umount: /mnt: nicht eingehängt. and it says it is either not existent or as it says after the second command: it is not it is not mounted… ---

Hi tumalso. Then check the device file name (of your USB-stick). Unplug and plug the USB-stick into DevTerm again, and type “dmesg”. ![Screenshot_2022-02-08_23-11-52](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/3/348e2db61385c7b63b92cdccc4a4c50fb21a7c37.png) My USB-stick is recognized as “sda1”. What is shown on your DevTerm? ---

Hallo aus Deutschland Ich hatte das gleiche Problem und habe eine Lösung gefunden. Terminal öffnen: sudo apt install gvfs #installiert GVfs [Projects/gvfs - GNOME Wiki!](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gvfs) sudo thunar #öffnet Thumar(File Manager) In Thunar: Edit-\>Preferences…-\>Advanced-\>Volumen\_Management (Enaneble Volume Management on)-\> Configure Jetzt kann man einstellen wie mit Wechseldatenträgern umgegangen wird. ---

thank you very much, it worked very well. The only thing is. After installing gvfs (the usb folder opens but) thunar tells me gvfs is not installed… is it a matter of integration? ---

Thunar zeigt auch bei mir an dass gvfs nicht installiert ist aber es funktioniert ja. ---
