Description Forgotten User ZpviCCR5tb 2015-12-16 19:08:11 UTC 
Device Notifier does not recognize flash drives.  It does recognize external usb hard drives.  When a flash drive is plugged into the usb slot, the kernel recognizes it and creates the appropriate /dev/sd? and /dev/sd?? entries and it is possible to mount one of those and access the contents of the drive.

This is mostly handled by udisks, could you please paste the output of dmesg and lsusb for such devices that fail to be detected?

ALso vendor/type of the usbdisk would be nice, since I can't reproduce with the bunch I checked in my table drawer...

Comment 5 Forgotten User ZpviCCR5tb 2015-12-16 21:22:11 UTC 
It appears to be a problem with Kingston flash drives. I tried it with another flash drive and it worked.  I tried it with two distinct models of Kingston flash drive and it didn't work in either case.  I have attached files dmesg.out, kingston.lsusb.1 and kingston.lsusb.2 with the output that you wanted.
Comment 6 Tomáš Chvátal 2018-04-13 15:06:04 UTC 
This is automated batch bugzilla cleanup.

The openSUSE 42.1 changed to end-of-life (EOL [1]) status. As such
it is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates.
As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
openSUSE, or you can still observe it under openSUSE Leap 15.0, please
feel free to reopen this bug against that version (see the "Version"
component in the bug fields), or alternatively open
a new ticket.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed
during the lifetime of the release.
