Public bug reported:
I have two Transcend USB drive enclosures. When they were purchased (in
2019) they were working fine all the time with different disks inside
(HDD, SSD). But at some point, probably after some system update, they
stopped working completely and are not even visible in partitioning
software or fdisk utility.
I use currently Kubuntu 20.04 on Dell XPS 9570. I tried booting from
fresh Kubuntu 20.04 live USB drive, and the external drive **is actually
visible there**
Expected behaviour: after plugging into USB port the external drive is
automatically mounted and accessible via file manager
Actual behaviour: the external drive is not mounted and not even visible
in partitioning software or fdisk utility. The drive is visible and
mounted correctly while booting from fresh Kubuntu 20.04 live USB drive
Drives are visible in dmesg:
