Hello (and thx for your work, if I happen to make it work on Ubuntu 12.10) :)

Topic is quite self-explanatory. I recently updated to Quantal, tried many ways to handle my Canon EOS SD-card (through an USB adapter) and none worked. When using what I think to be the wright version of your exFAT utils what I think to be the wright way (the wiki is poor for an Ubunto-noob like myself), it gives me this error.

Did I miss something ? I tried and googled the error message but the only thing I got is the source code. ;)

I updated all three machines to Quantal. I manage a free-benevolent-participative local internet media and I really must find a way to get the pictures and videos of day-to-day events... :/

Please, can you help me ?

Thx in advance. :)

Hi,

I need an image of your SD card for analysis. How to make it:

1. Make sure there is nothing valuable on the SD card.
2. Insert it into your card reader and erase:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXn bs=1M
where sdXn is exFAT partition of the SD card.
3. Insert the SD card into your camera and format it to exFAT.
4. Insert the SD card into the card reader again and make sure it fails
to mount with the same error.
5. Make a compressed image:
sudo gzip -c /dev/sdXn > dump.gz
6. Send the resulting dump.gz file here (it should be quite small).

Hi and thx for such reactivity.
I have an update !
It seems to work on a little portable PC using its SD-card internal reader.

So the problem seems to be through the USB adapter (noname - or "Makant" - "SD/MMC/RS-MMC USB 2.0" blue stuff I got for cheap).

So no hurry, it looks like I can manage to get my pictures back. If some day you happen to have other problems thru USB adapters and find some corrective or workaround, I'll be in heaven, but right now I'm really happy and thankful. Don't waste any more of your so useful and productive time for just me. :)

Greetings from the french "Pays Basque" and its first Free media that can again work with the help of your work !

Many Thanks

LeLapin
