I'm using ubuntu server and I'm trying to transfer files over usb but I'm having a weird problem. The usb stick is detected but no files are showing up. For example, I plugin the usb stick, I navigate to /media, I run ls, and nothing shows' up. I've even tried changing dirs to one that's on the usb stick and it just says that it doesn't exist.

things I've tried:

  • using a different os
  • using a different port

  • Keep an eye on the terminal command sudo journalctl --follow as you plug in the USB drive. What system was it working on? How was it unmounted? After it's plugged in, df -m | grep -v loop and sudo lsblk -f and ls -l /media/$USER will help you find it. – waltinator Nov 24 '22 at 23:21
  • it showed up but gave this as soon as i plugged it in sda1: Process '/usr/bin/unshare -m /usr/bin/snap auto-import --mount=/dev/sda1' failed with exit code 1. – No-Question123 Nov 24 '22 at 23:26
  • You've provided no specific product/release details (is this a Ubuntu Core server? or Ubuntu Server? what release of unstated server product?), nor if you actually mounted the device/partition, nor what file-system was utilized on it?. – guiverc Nov 25 '22 at 00:14

  • @gulverc I have the same problem. An lsb_release -a says "Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS" - for me this is a straight GUI install as I use it as a desktop. – davidgo Jan 06 '23 at 00:07
  • Does the same problem occur if you try it with a different USB stick? – karel Jan 06 '23 at 03:11
