Description Olivier Delaune 2013-07-29 19:32:40 CEST
Hello, I believe that in previous version of Mageia, I was able to read my xD card. On Mageia 3, this card is not mounted anymore. It seems that one needs to enable r852 module to manage this card. Could you do it?


This is the dmesg output just after I plugged the xD card. 
[ 3573.017073] r852: detected xD writeable card in slot
[ 3573.318098] NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0xd3 (Toshiba xD 1GiB 3,3V)
[ 3573.761191] sm_ftl: Found 1024 MiB xD/SmartMedia FTL on mtd0
[ 3573.825208]  smblka: smblka1

Reproducible:

Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2013-07-29 20:03:50 CEST
well it seems your card reader is detected (a 1Go one)
Comment 2 Olivier Delaune 2013-07-29 20:15:02 CEST
It is, but in the previous Mageia version, the card was appearing in the "mounting widget" of KDE SC. Now, it is not the case anymore and I did not succeed to mount it manually.
Comment 3 Olivier Delaune 2013-08-25 16:51:36 CEST
From this post (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=87722), I think that the module "ssfdc" is not enabled. Could you enable it the kernel to check if it solves my problem?
Comment 4 Marja Van Waes 2015-03-31 16:06:19 CEST
Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

The modules are there...

Can you mount it manually ?

What happends if you modprobe ssfdc ?
Comment 8 Olivier Delaune 2015-04-19 15:45:31 CEST

Maybe my xD card is a bit broken but as it works fine within a card reader I guess the xD card is not so bad...

Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't 
able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and 
change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, 
select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release.
Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].

Comment 10 Marja Van Waes 2015-10-27 06:58:34 CET
As announced over a month ago, Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.

This issue may have been fixed in a later Mageia release, so, if you still see it and didn't already do so: please upgrade to Mageia 5 (or, if you read this much later than this is written: make sure you run a currently maintained Mageia version)

If you are able to reproduce it against a maintained version of Mageia, you are encouraged to 
1. reopen this bug report, by changing the "Status" from "RESOLVED - OLD" to "REOPENED"
2. click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If you know it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release.
Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO.
3. give as much relevant information as possible. If you're not an experienced bug reporter and have some time: please read this page:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly

If you see a similar issue, but are _not_sure_ it is the same, with the same cause, then please file a new bug report and mention this one in it (please include the bug number, too). 


If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
