But no, I was not speaking about that but the differences between linux distributions which configure different logging settings. For example, and as I said before, there is no /var/log/syslog in openSUSE and what Debian sends to syslog openSUSE sends it to /var/log/ messages which is also available in Debian but holding different information. Which is nothing but a bit of mess for system administratrors and that's why I would like to see a higher degree of integration (standardization) in this field, logs (at least for me) are an important part of any operating system.

Re: Can no longer mount SDHC card
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I said in my post of 2012-03-21 at 10:34 (UTP +7): I suppose my solution now is to invest in an external n-in-1 card reader with the capacity to read the high capacity SD cards and use it instead of the internal reader. I did so today. For Keith McKenzie's information the card I bought was designed in the U.S. of A., made in China and branded in Thailand: Anitech All in One CardReader, seems to read all cards currently in captivity, very small (68 x 36 x 12 mm), comes in three decorator colours (pink, blue and white, I chose a blue one), paid 250 baht for it (CAD8.30, USD ±2% of CAD amount). I plugged in to a USB port, installed in it a CF and a SDHC card and ran command blkid. It assigned /dev/sdb1 to the SDHC card and /dev/sdc1 to the CF card. I then modified /etd/fstab accordingly, opened Konqueror and voilà! I was able to open both cards and copy photos from the SDHC card to the the CF card. The fact that blkid was able to identify these cards but not a SD card in the built-in slot, and that this fault came completely out of the blue without any software changes, reinforces my opinion (and John Jason Jordan's as well?) that the cause of inability to mount and read a card in that built-in slot was hardware failure. Surely if the hardware were in order blkid would have identified the card in that slot and assigned /dev/mmcblk0p1 to it, as was done in the past. Camaléon's latest suggestions are worth trying to determine whether the cause is a software malfunction rather than a hardware failure. To do so however I would have to wait until I upgrade the laptop from Lenny to Squeeze, as he suggests I use an updated kernel. I will not be able to do the upgrade before May.

I only wanted to print the last few line from dmesg, nothing interactive. The issue everyone was poking at was the order of actions. If you run dmesg|tail first before inserting the card then that is before and there won't be any messages about it yet. Instead the order would be to insert the card first and then run dmesg afterward to see what output it produced. But that output may be slow to be emitted over time. I think it is better to tail the syslog file. AFAIK /var/log/syslog would would have all of the same information as dmesg and so tail'ing with -f it would give real-time coverage of the messages and no need to repeatedly run the dmesg command.

Re: Can no longer mount SDHC card
I find where the SD card is by checking the list on: # /dev/disk/by-id without fail the card reader will be assigned a disk number like sde. If the reader is sde then the SD card stuck in the reader will be sde1 # mount -t vfat /dev/sde1 /media/ (I made a directory here) I use the mount command with the vfat file system because the file system on all these cameras seem to be a vfat variation. (then) # cd /media/(my directory) I use gThumb to import the pictures from 'my directory'. This also works for picassa It's kind of a steam driven procedure but I can't see why this wouldn't work for anyone with a Debian system. Before you suggest, I didn't put the mount -t vfat etc command in fstab because I don't want to see a message every time I boot the computer without the SD card in the reader saying sde1 can't be found and doesn't exist. -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Can no longer mount SDHC card
On Wed, 21 Mar 2012 10:34:31 +0700 Ken Heard k...@heard.name dijo: If I interpreted correctly the text below the OS may detect the presence of the card but no longer will read it. I suppose my solution now is to invest in an external n-in-1 card reader with the capacity to read the high capacity SD cards and use it instead of the internal reader. I should add that mine is a Ricoh also. Also that the Linux Thinkpad thinkwiki page and the listserve are full of problems with hardware failures and general flakiness. Let me know what kind of n-in-one card reader you find. I could use one as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
