On my HP Envy laptop running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, the Files application
doesn't show USB or sdcards.
I can see USB in terminal in /dev. However I can't see the sdcard.
eric@dragonEnvy:/media/eric$ ls -la /dev/sd*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Jul 9 12:54 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Jul 9 12:54 /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Jul 9 12:54 /dev/sda2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 Jul 9 12:54 /dev/sda3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Jul 9 13:19 /dev/sdb // the USB dongle
Is the sdcard card reader recognized? I _think_ yes.
sudo lspci -v -nn

I tried a rescan but no help.
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/rescan
Shouldn't the drives be shown in /media?
eric@dragonEnvy:/media/eric$ ls -lah /media

I see a little plus sign. Maybe I changed something here a while back
and forgot. Maybe this is an acl or permission issue? So now I'm
thinking maybe just leave the USB and sdcard in and reboot. Maybe root
will set them up on initialization. Didn't work.
Interesting errors on reboot in auth.log but after investigation I think
it is cruft from pam that can be ignored.

Let's check media directory permissions.
eric@dragonEnvy:/media$ getfacl eric
# file: eric
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
user:eric:r-x
group::---
mask::r-x
other::---
Oddly I can plug in a mouse or my iPad and everything works fine. I
plug in an USB dongle or my little SandDisk card and nothing. What do
you think? Where else to look?
Thanks for any tips!
