I have installed the latest Raspbian and everything was working fine until I remove some packages from add/remove software. After that, my Pi3 can no longer recognize any USB pen drives. I hope someone can help me to bring it back. I don't want to reinstall the Raspbian again because it will take me a long time to install everything back.
Thank you.

Re: My Raspberry Pi 3b no longer recognize my USB pen drive
boot your pi normally and when it is up and running, plug the USB stick in. Open a terminal and type dmesg If there is anything in there about /dev/sda, paste that here.
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Re: My Raspberry Pi 3b no longer recognize my USB pen drive
What does the lsusb and usb-devices commands report with & w/o a usb drive plugged in? (To put it another way - is a drive being detected but not being mounted and seen by the filemanager perhaps, rather than "not being recognised")allen2345k wrote: ↑Mon Feb 19, 2018 12:34 pmI have installed the latest Raspbian and everything was working fine until I remove some packages from add/remove software.

Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm

My mind is like a browser. 27 tabs are open, 9 aren't responding,
lots of pop-ups...and where is that annoying music coming from?
