You need to be more specific in your question. "Seen" is such a terrible word in a technical sense. For me that would mean that the kernel's usb module detected it and logged it to /var/log/syslog. Please look at the activity in /var/log/syslog and report what is happening when you insert or remove the usb device. But I imagine that you are using a GNOME desktop environment (or a KDE desktop environment) and no icon is appearing on your desktop after plugging it in? Is that what is happening for you? Unfortunately with those it all depends upon what packages you have installed. (Personally I despise those types of "happy" extras and disable them on my machine so I won't be much help for you but at least it will identify the problem.) It doesn't mean that your machine isn't "seeing" the usb device. Do you have gnome-mount installed? $ dpkg -l gnome-mount Summary: Both *before* and *after* inserting the usb device: $ cat /proc/partitions $ less /var/log/syslog Observing any differences will be clues to what is happening.
