The same procedure as every year? ;-)

1) Disconnect the USB drive. 

2) What is installed, udev/sytemd/logind/udisks/udisks2/polkit/pmount?

3) Open 4 terminals. In the first, run "dmesg -w" sa root. In the second, run "udevadm monitor". In the 3rd, run "watch cat /proc/partitions". In the 4th get root and poke around. And open "konqueror media:/".

4) Plug in the USB drive. What hppens? What's happening in terminals 1 to 3? Does it show up in /proc/partitions? udev generates events? Kernel logs something? If the device is silently ignored, run "partprobe". What happens?

5) Use some different USB device and try again.

Then we'll know a bit more.
