Hello everyone, and congratulations on this new OS. I was running Manjaro previously (and I have some but not much experience distro hopping) and EndeavourOS is such a breeze to use.
However, I have encountered a problem I’ve never had before and a quick search on Google and the Arch Wiki haven’t helped.
Basically, my pc can’t find USB pen drives. I’ve tried connecting other things (such as my phone) and it gets recognized pretty easily, but neither my pen drives or my external HDDs are found.
Any help appreciated 
What does lsusb show? You can also plug in a usb drive & try udisksctl status. Just want to see if it sees the devices first.
It seems to be working now for some reason 
not sure what I did to fix it, because rebooting didn’t work when I tried…Could it have been the daemon that was down?
Anyways here’s the output you’ve requested (and probably don’t need anymore):

I recommend that you go into Applications > Settings Manager > Desktop > Icons and scroll all the way down. You will see Default Icons but not every option shows. You must scroll down in Default Icons until you see Removable Icons and activate that option. Then any connected external drive(s) will appear on your desktop.
You also should go into Applications > Settings Manager > File Manager > [Select the tab} Advanced. Make sure that Enable Volume Management is checked and then click on Configure the management of removable drives, devices and media.
Under Removable Storage check (activate) the first three options (Mount …, Mount…, Browse … ),
The above two steps should ensure that your external devices mount automatically and correctly and that you’ll be able to see that they actually are mounted.
Please note that all of the above applies only to the Xfce Desktop Environment.
I hope that this helps you.

I’m on Gnome, and the devices really weren’t connected, but the issue seems to have resolved itself somehow thanks for the help 
I will change the title of the post
This looks like not rebooted after kernel update…
