I keep getting information that I have something called:
usb-Seagate_Expansion_3248433031354B4A2020202020202020-0:0
I have checked everything I have in usb and cannot find it.
I have 3 sticks, keyboard, mouse, connection to display, etc, and a usb plugin thing (holds the sticks)
Sometimes it might go away if I take one, or two sticks, out. Doesn’t come back if I take a stick out and then put it in again. But it does come back.
no usb-seagate. I did have one connected, a while ago but is no longer connected.
Relevant System Information:
none, I think…
Here is a list of my usbs:
greg@localhost:/mnt$ ls

usb-VendorCo_ProductCode_6076621090933209849-0:0-part1
(I do not know what the first one is but think its the display, etc)
Here is he result:

I pulled out the vendorCo Product Codes (there was another one but I don’t know which is which
and the hub that held them. Restarted my system.
Ran it again from mnt$ ls -al and got exactly the same thing so its not changing.
Got exactly the same thing again.
The VendorCo things were both sticks (not there) One of them is also the other stick but I do not know which. I do know that I unplugged 4 of the things that was plugged into the computer.
I still have seagate_explansion which I have no idea what it is.
6 root root things
1 gregreg thing (that is the password for my WiFi
1 Seagate thing
/mnt is a directory that is meant for user-initiated temporary mounts. AFAIK a stock desktop Ubuntu system will not put anything in there of it’s own accord. Check what’s inside those directories with ‘ls’ and if they are empty remove them. The actual place where you can see the currently connected drives is /dev/disk/by-id while the currently mounted filesystems can be seen in the output of ‘mount’ (that one gets quite long because of snaps and pseudo-filesystems; you might want to filter it using ‘grep’ e.g. 'mount|grep ‘^/dev/’).
