Hmmm. Booted a live version of Ubuntu off a USB stick and got the same result: No mounting of a thumbdrive on USB-C but it worked on USB-A. This is the second time I’ve had something like this happen with Ubuntu. I bought an X1 Gen 9 and the computer just stopped recognizing the battery. I was within the return period so I just sent it back and got the Gen 12. Now, I’m having a USB-C issue.

I haven’t had any damage or physical issues that would explain a loss of the usb-c ports. Additionally, the ports still work to charge the computer, so they physically must be working (at least in some capacity). I’m stumped.

Edit: Now that I think about it, the only thing I can think of is that I recently bought a UGreen 65W power brick. It’s the same wattage as my official lenovo charger. I wonder if that is behind it.

The left has its voices, but I don’t know many left-leaning people who hang on every word of media personalities. It seems less cult-ish.
