I'm trying to access my USB flash drive but it is not showing up in the file manager. If I type lsusb it shows an item with the ID fafa:fafa but when I remove the USB flash drive, fafa:fafa is not there. How the heck do I fix this?
You can just mount it manually with "mount". You just need to know what device the usb is under.
most likely
[code]
mkdir /mnt/usb
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
[/code]
would do the trick.
Otherwise I'm not sure why it's not automounting. It has just always worked for me on Arch Linux so I wouldn't know how to fix it. Sorry :(.

Holy fuck, that actually worked, well sort of. I guess there was no filesystem type assigned to my flash drive so I had to manually assign one to it. Thank you.
Also, for future reference if anyone has this problem, I used this thread.
