When I plug in USB storage devices, I can see that they are plugged in via the CLI, but they are not mounted or treated like mountable devices by the OS. I've tried with both USBs and external drives.
The drives are also fully functional. Have other computers here and they operate normally in Windows and Linux.
I can see the device with lsusb
$sudo lsusb
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 05dc:a83a Lexar Media, Inc. USB Flash Drive
There also seems to be no errors related to the device
$ sudo dmesg | tail

It is not recognized as a block device since I can't see it with lsblk or fdisk -l

I've been having several other issues with this PC in regards to Ubuntu including earlier versions, such as no sound
I haven't been able to mount the devices manually, for example by finding an external HDD via sudo mount /dev/sdb1 ... since it isn't recognized as storage.
