USB SD card reader must be reinserted at USB (SOLVED)

#1 Post by gychang »

Running the latest BionicPup64, seems to work fine, except for a minor problem. I have a USB SD card reader, when I put in a SD card (from digital camera), it does not get recognized by pmount with refreshing. BUT if I remove and reinsert the USB (not the SD card) dongle than I can read my SD card. Should there be a daemon that recognizes as soon as a SD card is inserted in the USB dongle?

any help will be appreciated.

Try booting Bionicpup64 with the USB SD card reader plugged in with a SD card in it.
Is SD card showing, with a drive icon on the desktop?
If yes.
Remove the SD card.
Does the drive icon disappear?
Stick it back into the card reader.
What happens?

What is it showing for the SD card reader?

#3 Post by gychang »

I rebooted with SD card in USB dongle attached. It show up as a desktop icon, BUT when I remove the SD card with USB dongle attached it does NOT disappear (seems to only see the USB dongle but not the SD). It DOES disappear if I remove the whole USB dongle.

here more info.

Thanks,

I was hopping the Pup-Sysinfo would show the manufacture and model of this USB SD card reader.

Has it ever been able to do as you want?
Plug-and-Play and Hot-Swap compatible
This feature is needed to be able to do what you want.
Should be a listed feature in the readers specs.

Have you got specific information on make and model or the specific features info?

@ gychang:-

Your issue sounds almost exactly like the one that I had with re-assigning mount-points to an external, PCI-e mounted USB 3.0 Seagate Expansion drive, when re-awakening from 'sleep' mode. This is on a desktop, not a laptop, so the usual acpi stuff doesn't apply.

I had complete success with the issue by following, and using, jafadmins tutorial and script/.pet, etc, for implementing 'udev-rules'. Have a look here, and see if this will solve your problem:-

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=112558

All it does is to create a permanent 'mount-point' for any given drive within Puppy's own file-system. I think it makes use of the drive's UUID.....the unique identifier that is a part of every drive's identity as presented to the OS. And it will always recognise the drive after that, regardless of which port you plug the drive into.

Let us know if that helps at all, please. It definitely worked for me!


Mike. :wink:
