What do the output of 'lsusb', 'lsscsi', and 'mount' tell you about the device?
In 12.2 and later IIRC, media like USB sticks are mounted under /run/ media/[username]. I'd bet that's where you'll find it in 13.1 RC1, too.

Actually this brings up another anomaly re USB memory sticks which I have ignored for many a year.
Using lsusb and lsscsi show me that I have a USB CORSAIR flash drive sitting on my system but it is not showing up anywhere in my directories - it would normally appear in /media on my machine (12.2 or 12.3 or *my* 13.1 RC1 which was steadily upgraded from MS1 over the months).
But it is nowhere to be seen. Why not?
Because after I had plugged it in I did not Open It With Dolphin, that's why.
The damn thing is not mounted UNTIL I open it with Dolphin. I *don't* want to waste my time with Dolphin, I just want to access the device with mc but NO, I *must* first open it with Dolphin. This is mandatory and immutable.
It is also a PITA!

I like having total control when I want it. If I don't want dolphin in control, I use "dmesg" shortly after connect a USB device to see what /dev/sdx it is assigned, then I manually run mount. It works fine for me and I hope linux always leaves me in control of manual mounting vs auto-mounting.
