sandisk cruzer usb not showing up in gnome kernel 5..[solved]

Peace,
on windows this flash drive shows as a cdrom (auto launched usually) and a flash. on gnome, it is not seen.

dmesg 
[12078.032135] usb 2-8: new high-speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd
[12078.175914] usb 2-8: New USB device found, idVendor=0781, idProduct=550a, bcdDevice= 2.00
[12078.175916] usb 2-8: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[12078.175917] usb 2-8: Product: Cruzer Pattern

[12078.175919] usb 2-8: SerialNumber: 153581057890297A

Does lsblk show if it is mounted?

it shows sda, sdb,sdc and sr0 but not the flash drive, the former being 3 hard disks.

ok i did the exe command and now it shows as one disk on windows, on arch:

new high-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd
[32998.226884] usb 2-8: New USB device found, idVendor=0781, idProduct=550a, bcdDevice= 2.00
[32998.226887] usb 2-8: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[32998.226888] usb 2-8: Product: Cruzer Pattern
[32998.226889] usb 2-8: Manufacturer: SanDisk
[32998.226890] usb 2-8: SerialNumber: 153581057890297A

now i need to execute

/u3_tool -u /dev/sg3

Replace /dev/sg3 with the scsi generic device associated with your device. The correct device can be deduced from the dmesg output.
but i don't see it in dmesg...

The commands on that page are EXAMPLES, don't blindly hack them into every shell that cannot run fast enough from you…

Does the dmesg output still stop at this point? The device should at this point register as storage device. You could try to desecure/reformat the stick on windows.

Dear, i know..yesterday after typing the post, i realized that the flash is mounted to the virtual machine instead, so i tried to remove it from the virtual machine but it would still not appear on the host. After your comment, i mounted it to the virtual machine and deleted the drive, there was a few MB drive just present there to the right of it..so i backed up first and created the drive now on the a bit larger space and formatted it and then copied all the data back and removed from the virtual machine and it, drums roll...appeared on arch big thanks for your aid!
