what do you want to accomplish? what desktop are you using? it is probably detected when you plug it in or turn on the machine if it is already connected and powered up. if it isn't powered up then when you turn it on it should come up and be detected, but it also depends upon what you have set up in various places we can't really know about. if anything you can set up something once you know what is happening: a udev rule, a systemd unit or a script to run from a shell or ... looking at the log files and finding out what devices are detected when you turn them on and off will often provide some help. lsusb, lsblk are two of the most commonly used ones that i use when needed. songbird
