I built 8.9.0 from source on Manjaro Linux 17.1-rc1 Cinnamon and it cannot detect any USB devices. I tried a few different USB sticks that work fine in other programs.

Use lsblk command to check USB device. I have same manjaro and it works perfectly fine.

I checked MultiSystem built from the AUR and it can't detect any USB devices, either. I guess the issue is with my system, but I'm not sure what it is. I just did a fresh install a few days ago. You can close the issue if you want.

sdd is not a partition. Make one and test again.

yochananmarqos commented 6 years ago

That's rather strange. Somehow it was formatted but had no partition table. I fixed it with GParted by using Format to > cleared. Then I was able to create a partition table. Thanks for help.
