MicroSD card from Samsung Galxy camera

English Hardware
1

I have a MicroSD card from a Samsung Galaxy camera, I plug it in on my USB card reader.

KDEConnect realizes that there a new card, correct size , 2 actions: open with file manager & open with gwenview, but then I get the error:

Cannot mount this device

How do I track which fuse/file system I need to have?

I already have:

  • autofs
  • btrfs
  • gvfs-fuse
  • jmtpfs (for mtp)
  • ntfs

In journalctl, I get:

Hi
It’s likely to be exfat format, you need to install exfat-utils and fuse-exfat.

Perfecto! Thank you. It worked. So now I can get the data from the memory card by removing the microsd and using it with my card reader.

BTW, When I connect the camera directly, I get:

Aug 31 07:06:21 ethelbert.telus mtp-probe[2768]: checking bus 5, device 2: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:16.2/usb5/5-1"
Aug 31 07:06:21 ethelbert.telus mtp-probe[2768]: bus: 5, device: 2 was not an MTP device

Do you know what it would be?

Thanks

Hi
Any settings on the camera to make it look like a storage device? Else I think you need to look at usb_modeswitch or even a udev rule. I would suggest starting a new thread, since it will get more attention from the folks in the know :wink:

I’m trying to figure out this “fake” camera. It’s a samsung phone S3 or S4 without the phone part. There’s not much documentation, I’m still tracking to find some. I have found any menu item that sets either ptp or mass storage, but right now I’m OK that now I can read the card. Toward the end of next month, when I have some time, I will try again to solve that problem.

Again thanks for the help.:):slight_smile:
