OK I have this adapter and I'm trying desperatly to mount in in ubuntu so i can use can-utils to monitor the device but I'm failing... Dmesg:
[ 15.378382] usbcore: registered new interface driver ch341
[ 15.378392] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for ch341-uart
[ 15.378405] ch341 3-1:1.0: ch341-uart converter detected
[ 15.379152] usb 3-1: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0
which i think is the device and lsusb gives me:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics HL-340 USB-Serial adapter
how do i go about mapping or mounting this to the can0 so i can track it with can-utils?

First, here is my dmesg | tail result right after I plugged the disk in:
$ dmesg | tail

There is nothing after "sdb"...
In the meantime, lsusb shows:

Can anyone help me? What's wrong with my USB disk?

Some USB devices need to be mounted directly, as in
mount /dev/sdb /mnt
(no partition number given). Try it and see what happens.

There is no problem with your drive, at least I can't see anything unusual. The only strange thing, there is no "sdb1" despite the fact that its a pendrive. Try creating a partition with gparted (sudo apt-get install gparted && sudo gparted). .. Last time I ended up spending quite a time with messing my pendrive.

Run
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Are there any partitions on the disk? Then try mounting a likely one manually. If you don't understand the result, add it to your question above.

maybe it is a problem with the udev rules?
lsusb
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 03f0:3207 Hewlett-Packard
Then use that "Bus 002 Device 004" and check what
udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/bus/usb/002/004)
And then you find something like this at the top
looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-4':
And that you can put into udevadm to test what happens with the udev rules.
sudo udevadm test /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-4
And look for stuff like
udev_rules_apply_to_event:
And if you need to change them this page is a good start.

It may not be your USB device, but your USB port may not be able to provide sufficient power for the device.
On my machine, most devices work fine, but I have one USB drive that only works when plugged into one of the rear ports, which are directly on the MB. Symptioms in this case are very similar to your results.
Options are to try a different port, or to get a powered USB hub.

In my case, it didn't work in any USB port. But while reading the last answer I remembered that my HD adapter came with a double usb cable and everything worked pretty well when I used it.
