RebornOS doesn't find removable devices

Hi,
I just installed RebornOS twice,
because I thought I made a mistake.
Automatic installation with automatic partioning works fine.
But if I insert an USB stick or external HDD RebornOS ignored it
Any idea?

Hi @Rallebiker

  1. Could you try to plugin your devices and share the output of the following commands?
    sudo pacman -S --needed usbutils
    
    lsusb -v

    sudo fdisk -l
  1. Also, do you see your devices on the gparted application?

  2. Which desktop environment are you on?

Sorry I have to write it manually because I didn’t find a Bluetoothmanager in preferences,
so I couldn’t activated my Bluetooth mouse.

Gparted : Yes I can see my device

@Rallebiker

Looks like your device is recognized fine. Is it a new USB device? If it is a new device and is empty, create a partition table on it using gparted. A gpt partition table is recommended and click on “Apply”. Then you can create a new partition on it and apply the changes. After you do that, your file manager should be able to mount the USB device when you plug it in the next time

If it is an old device with data on it, then do not modify anything. Test it on another computer

@Rallebiker

Also share the output of

sudo mkdir -p /mnt 

sudo mount -v /dev/sda1 /mnt

If there are no errors, check if the USB device shows up in your file manager

sudo mkdir -p /mnt
Shows Nothing

sudo mount -v /dev /sda1 /mnt
"mount: /dev/ sda1 ist auf /mnt eingehängt.

My USB sticks are all ok.
In Windows, Garuda, Endevarous I plug them in and find them immediatly,
why not in RebornOS?

Theres a space in /dev/sda1
EDIT: You should look at lsblk or see if gvfs is installed

After running the mount command, does the file manager show your USB device? I am trying to figure out what is going on.

No.
Thank you.
Regards

@Rallebiker

As @Pandaa mentioned, let us check the output of lsblk and figure out the filesystems
What is the output of

lsblk -f

?

lsbkl -f
“Command not found”

It should be lsblk -f. You seem to have made a mistake while typing

]$ lsblk -f

Thanks. Can we we see that it is mounted correctly?

df -h

sudo chmod 755 /mnt 

ls /mnt

lf /mnt

Did you reboot after mounting? (I mean you should not reboot yet)

sudo chmod 755 /mnt

LANG=C sudo mount -v /dev/sda1 /mnt

LANG=C df -h

LANG=C ls /mnt

@Rallebiker

Another thing to try:

sudo pacman -S thunar-volman gvfs

Reboot and if the USB problem is not solved, check this setting

No reboot. I didn’t know.
The pamac showed me - new packages.
I startetd pamac and if it was at “Starting transaction hook”
it hangs, hangs hangs.
I made a shutdown and after restart Reborn doesn’t work anymore.
Grub comes up, but Reborn doesn’t comes up.
Only Windows comes up.

@ shivanandvp
Thanks a lot for help.
I don’t want to install RebornOS a third time.
I think RebornOS is nothing for Newbies as I am.

Reinstall is not required.

The rebooting issue is unrelated and is due to a recent grub update on Arch Linux

If you have an unbootable system, We should be able to fix that easily by chrooting, only if you are interested in going through the process.

No thank you.
I’m only a user, searching a stable, fast, and easy to handle OS.
I do not want to go into the OS via terminal.
