USB card reader problem

[Jeremy_Ray]

lsusb finds the card reader -

Bus 003 Device 002: ID 14cd:125c Super Top SD card reader

sudo lshw -class disk finds the card -

*-disk

However the card doesn't show up in dolphin or in the task manager panel, so I can't use it. The card is working fine in my camera.

What format is the card in ? Im going to guess you just dont have support for that file system . unless the camera is really old its more then likey using EXFAT as the file system on the sd card.

try installing the exfat fuse module and utils. then remove and reattach the card it should then work like normal

sudo apt install exfat-fuse exfat-utils

Is there a way to detect the file system type? So far all I can find out is "Design rule for camera file system, DPOF Version 1.1 (Digital Print Order Format)" I ran

 

sudo apt install exfat-fuse exfat-utils

, but that didn't do it. The camera is a Canon Powershot ELPH 450 HS, so it is a few years old.

You can run the partition manager and see what that says the card has on it.

you might also be able to plug you camera in via usb and get the pictures that way. It would save you the time of removing the card. Plug the camera to the computer it might show up in the removeable drives . you may need to put you camera in special mode the usb work that way.

KDE Partition Editor showed "unknown/unformatted," so I reformatted the card in the camera. Now it works with the computer again. Strange how that worked out, but at least I know what the problem was.
