I am sure it is not a hardware problem, as the BIOS can read the devices and I can boot from the usb stick. I read on a forum that the usb_storage kernel module may be required and so I loaded it manually (and I added it in /etc/modules), but it did not help. The /var/log/{syslog,dmesg,udev} files did not show any new lines when I inserted the flash pen into the usb port. The only package that I have installed that it could interfere with the kernel abilities to detect the usb devices is virtualbox: root@zmb-laptop:~# apt-cache policy virtualbox virtualbox: Installed: 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1ubuntu1.14.04.1 Candidate: 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1ubuntu1.14.04.1 Version table: *** 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1ubuntu1.14.04.1 0 500 http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/multiverse amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/multiverse amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 4.3.10-dfsg-1 0 500 http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/multiverse amd64 Packages This may not help much, but I have the same Kubuntu 14.04 distribution installed on my office workstation (an intel i7 lenovo desktop unit) and it is successfully detecting and mounting the usb stick (it has the same 3.13.0-83-generic kernel version).
