I'm a UNIX user/programmer from way back, so my first port of call when debugging is the command line. So, if there is a fancy GUI tool that will do the same, I don't know/care about it.

At a CLI prompt type

sudo tail -f /var/log/everything.log|tee /tmp/junk.txt

This should give something similar to the attached.

The two important lines are :

sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk

which indicates the Linux has recognised the Clara and attached it as a USB device.

udisksd[20048]: Mounted /dev/sda (system) at /mnt/usb/kobo on behalf of uid 1000

which indicates that calibre has detected and mounted it.


NOTES

The -f option on tail means that log output will continue to be added until you hit CTRL-C.

The tee command splits the output and not only displays it on the screen but also writes it to a file, which I suggest you attach to a post or copy/paste it into a spoiler tag.
