I didn't explain correctly, sorry.dmesgshows the kernel messages.dmesg -wleaves these open and live updates. What it might help you is to disconnect the USB, typedmesg -wand then connect the USB. You will see new messages appearing related to your USB and you might see an error message if the device is damaged. Ubuntu configuration often states that if there are errors reading a system, is mounted read only and this is what I was trying to figure out. If you don't mind losing the information in the drive, reformatting it may help. Have a look atfdisk,gpartedor others.

You can try restoring the USB drive to a standard format. There is a utility called mkusb. Look at this link. Add the ppa, update apt and then sudo apt install mkusb and when done, run mkusb.
Step by step instructions. Run these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mkusb
mkusb
and select option d see below:
if prompted for root password, enter it. Follow the insturctions on the screen:
and then select the Restore to a Standard Storage Device option (WARNING: you will loose all your data on the USB drive):
That should do it.

I might know what's happening. in/mediathere should be a directory with your user name. In the past I had similar issues and I found that the directory was owned byrootand after I changed the owner/group to my user name, the issue went away. In the terminal, type:ls /media/$USER -dland for owner / group, see if it saysroot rootand if so, I believe that's the issue. You can try changing the permissions to your user name and try it again.

I just noticed this,/dev/sdd1: No such file or directoryand to me this indicates an issue with your partition table on the disk. Are you experienced with GParted? You can try creating a new partition table: Device->Create Partition Table and then create different partitions. Select the msdos version. You will lose all your data.
