Nothing mounts!

DVDs and USB drives will not mount on my computer at all. This will make it impossible to back up my files when it comes time to upgrade. This problem started sometime within the last 3 weeks.
I'm using 5.5 amd64.
[aliasbody@BodyMSI ~]$ ls /dev/sd* /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3After:
[aliasbody@BodyMSI ~]$ ls /dev/sd* /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1And after that could you also post here the kernel you are using. Just type this and paste here the output :
uname -rIt will show something like this:
3.6.3-1-LIBRE
luther@aiwass:~$ ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6
# I plug in my USB stick:
luther@aiwass:~$ ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb
luther@aiwass:~$ uname -r
3.0.0-24-generic
UPDATE: I don't know what changed, but now I can mount most media with Disk Utility. The exception is my encrypted USB drive. Disk Utility lets me unlock it, but doesn't show a button to mount it.
Gnome does not automatically detect any media. The Removable Media settings are all set for "Ask what to do".
Disk Utility shows an ext2 partition. It works fine in my netbook, which runs Trisquel mini 5.5 i686.
In Disk Utility, when you select this ext2 partition, right below it should write where the partition is located. It should be similar to “Device: /dev/sdb1”.
Tell us what it's written.
You can also try do mount it manually:
sudo mount /dev/sd?? /mnt
That's very interesting. I had no idea I had to click on the partition to mount it. I don't have to do that for unencrypted drives. The device is /dev/dm-0.
At least now I can transfer files freely. Now the only problem is getting Gnome to automatically detect media.
