[EN] Problem popping on accessing pluged in hardware
« on: 2021/02/10, 00:39:13 »
Hi all,


since (may be longer) time but now clear, I experience a problem on plugging hardware.
Problem appeared now, when I wanted to dd to a sdcard for one of my raspis. Impossible, so first guess: my card reader is defect or corrupted. So I lent one from a neighbour, same problem.


I tried all blkid and mod checks, mods ok, but no sd* showed up.


I remember, that a week ago I attachad a hd from a tv receiver by ide>sata connector to grab my records from that. But the disk was not recognized nor showed up in no kind.


So usb or sata no dev recognition on these hardwares.


I can deliver all infos, fear a hw problem. Any ideas what to check on top? My inst is from 2013, currently upgraded over generations of forks.


Thanks for hints before solving by a big migration/setup.

First try should be to boot from a live-DVD or stick. Will it work then it's a problem with your installation, if it's not working it seems to be a hardware problem.
This would be my first step to resolv such an error.
Wenn Windows die Lösung ist...
kann ich dann bitte das Problem zurück haben?

thanks for downing my horizon, so that I can see this very logical stepping forward to ex-/include areas of root cause. I will try and report. Thanks!

hallo Geier0815,


I fooded the dvd drive with a Mint Cinnamon 64 bit, prioritised bios to booting dvd.


1 By just letting run/boot up, it stalled in the showup of the green M logo, nothing more happens after that.


2 Starting up by the [forgot the name] light mode, Mint's booting trial shows up errors by errors. I monitored the very hard hard fight on CLI feedbacks, how Mint tried to boot up, reducing requirements after requirements, to getting the bloody fucking job done. Unfortunately ending successlessly.


Question:

Is this already a hint onto a HW failure?
[by the way, why board forces font size reduction?]

What can I test/try on top?

Thanks for any help, preferring a reinstall instead of a costly HW migration (procurement...

Thanks for any help! btw: how to disbale automatic font size reduction in this board?

Hi all,


a new burned Mint dvd ran up fine. On live dvd the usb stick did also not show up. So, I conclude according to Geier0815's root cause localization strategy's first step, the problem is in my inst.


I would like to use may 8 year old inst as long as possible. So are there any hints on how to detect the area of failure further?


Thanks in advance!

Hi,
don't know if this helps:
open a konsole window, type journalctl -f.

To discover whether there is a hardware problem on your system, you need to try at least one more USB hotplug device. I don't think it has to be a thumb drive -- it could be a mouse or a printer or a cell phone cable. If it detects and connects another device, then the problem is not your system hardware. It might be your thumb drive hardware, or it might be a system software setting. Try gnasch's method and look for errors.  Good luck!

Thanks gnasch and dibl, I will do so [size=78%][/size]and report further.[size=78%][/size]

Right now I was experimenting:
I unplugged the card reader on the front panel (offfering various sizes) from the motherboard.


AFTER THAt NOW:


I can plug USB sticks and they pop-up ordinarily.
I can plug SD cards via an adapter with USB plug -> no detection!


Strange, will come back with more results!

and on sd card:

Code: [Select]
cat 3.txt | grep usb
mylo@tuap:~$

so nothing (tested 3 sd cards).

this may be a very stupid question  :-[
I have tried to reproduce this with my micro sd card, and found that it depends a lot
on the holder, how you set the micro into the holder, which side up and down,
if you try to center it or push it left or right a little.

The computer will lack *any* response in the logs only
when there is no contact or no micro sd in the holder.

so - are you "holding it wrong" (Apple ref)?
do you have another holder to try?

best, gnasch

there are no stupid questions, i also thought about.
My neighbour from whom I lent the card holder, will check it in parallel.
I checked carefully for the right orientation, will report soon.
Thanks for that question!

neighbours test positive, so a defect! Thanks to all and will finally report on result.
