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.

Thanks for the detailed answer... however I tried to enter the command in gnome-terminal but the answer was: Impossible [...] nonexistent file or directory. And there I stopped. However I can say that Kobo appears in the file manager and I can browse it. Until a few months ago I had no problems and as soon as I inserted the USB cable from Kobo to Linux, Calibre opened automatically showing the connected device. Also in a laptop with the same operating system, Calibre detects Kobo immediately. I don't know...
