Hi, I have a (old!) Sony Laptop VGN-N38E running 14.04. It has integral SD and Memory Stick Pro read/write.

I have searched the forum and Google for an answer.

When I plug in a MSP there is disk activity however the stick does not show up in df command nor in /media/...

I need to start the Files app and click on the stick under Devices before it seems to be recognised. As I do about 90% of my work by ssh from a remote machine this is quite inconvenient. Is there any reason why this MSP does not show up as soon as it is plugged in?

All USB devices show up straight away.

Thanks, Andy.
