What's the last 20 lines or so of dmesg after plugging in a USB drive?
The output of 'dmesg | tail -n 20' would be useful and there will be
obvious differences between the outputs of a successfully automounted
USB drive and an unsuccessful one.
Have you upgraded your operating system kernel recently? It could easily
be a bug in a newer kernel/subsystem shipped as part of MX Linux or
whatever you're using these days. It'd be best to concentrate on one
thing at a time but rebooting to an older kernel might help. I don't
suppose you're in a position to know if you've recently had a software
upgrade to anything like your USB libraries, systemd, udev, etc.
It's vanishingly unlikely that multiple USB drives have just stopped
working simultaneously by the way, it's going to be something to do with
your software.
Cheers
