This is a new drive that I tried to learn how to automount with. I played around with udiskie months ago, upon reboot with the drive plugged in, I would get a black screen before the bios even showed. I unplugged it and didn't worry about it for months. Now I plan on using it again, I've decided to tackle the issue. I'm not sure where to start with getting it up and running again.

I have read some of https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/8-udiskie/ to look to undo any changes (I do not recall exactly what I did). I have looked through my launch configs from .xinitrc -> i3wm -> custom launchFile.sh. None of which have "udiskie &". Any help would be amazing. Thank you in advance.

Edit1: No usb in any port works. Thought I would just test that. I know one of the usbs is a bootable arch iso, the others are not (not sure what file system). I have a windows partition I'll use worst case scenario. I'm thinking its somewhere between the input and the OS though.

The most common cause is that the usb-storage module can't be loaded because you're running a kernel older than the installed one. If you just didn't reboot after an update, a reboot will fix that. Otherwise the update went wrong.

pacman -Qs linux

Re: [Resolved] External HDD Shows in LSUSB but not lsblk

Thanks for the reply seth. This has cleared up that edit, although the main issue persists. Any ideas?

Edit:

 pacman -Qs linux
local/linux 5.16.16.arch1-1

uname -a                                                                                           ✔  20:20

Edit2: nevermind, resolved! Thank you )
