I seem to run into this issue every month or so. I don’t use usb-sticks more often than that but suspect it may have something to do with manjaro or kernel updates but have never found a solid cause/solution so haven’t been able to document a fix for myself.
currently:
❯ uname -r
5.10.30-1-MANJARO
Anyway, the following output results are what I get with any usb sticks that I plug in.
lsusb output (in this case I’ve plugged in an Alcor device, third entry from the bottom)

When plugging in works, the devices typically auto mount via /dev/sdd
and a Thunar window will spawn.
When it doesn’t the above outputs.
Thanks.
