USB Pro Stick not found on Ubuntu

When installed my USB Pro Stick into my Ubuntu with piaware installed I cannot see my USB installed on my ubuntu.
I can see other devices and I can see the light on within the USB but not connection and I think this is what is causing my dump1090 to fail.

Give the following commands.
Post the output of second command.

sudo apt install rtl-sdr

rtl_test -t
