Things to try:
- Issue (on a terminal, as root or sudo) "dmesg | tail", a short while
after having inserted the USB device.
- If the USB device poses as a storage device, issue "mount", to check
whether something on your box (your DE, perhaps) has mounted the
file system.
- Look in /var/log/messages and/or /var/log/syslog (or however these
things are called, should your init system be systemd: I'm not
qualified for that, others will chime in, I guess).
Note that USB devices can pose as different things "at the same
time".
