Hi so I had been messing around with commands in the terminal pretty much all day and I wound up in a bit of a jam. So I decided since I don't have much to lose on here yet I'm going to start over using a bootable USB. I plugged in my USB (Sandisk 32GB), the same one that was working earlier, and it's just not showing up. I've tried everything I could find on here and the rest of the internet. I know the problem is not my USB because it works on my other OS, where I also formatted it to see if that would help..it didn't. I know it's not the USB ports because I tested them all in my other OS as well. And another weird thing is Ubuntu detects when my phone's plugged in just fine. But ALL of my USBs are suddenly undetectable. It's also not showing up in the Disks app. I'll paste some of the outputs I got from different commands I've seen people suggest on here so I don't waste any of y'all time. Oh and yes I've turned it off and back on again (:
