I fixed it. I tried the advice of pushing the USB in slowly. That didn't work.



What did work was pushing it in very slowly in a timed manner. Here is how:



I used dmesg -wH which keeps live updating dmesg in your terminal.



And right at the moment where Ubuntu said that it recognized it. I stopped pushing it in any further. Weirdly enough, this is as much a skill as learning how to use a small screwdriver or a semi-complex game controller combination in a video game.



My Kingston Datatraveler mounted. It did not mount by pushing it in slowly, but by pushing it in very slowly and immediately stopping when dmesgh said: "USB Mass Storage device detected"
