I have an SD card (for a Palm Tungsten) that I would like to mount in my card reader to put music on. I used to be able to do it, but now I can't. The SD card in my 4-way reader is /dev/sdb. I tried "mount /dev/sdb /media/sdb" and I get unknow filesystem type. I've tried vfat and smbfs but those don't work either. Anyone have any thoughts?

Try mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb where sdb1 (or sda1, or something else) should be specified as found in tail /var/log/messages right after plugging the usb-device. You should see something like this Mar 2 01:10:11 svintuss kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:04.2-1.2, assigned address 17 Mar 2 01:10:11 svintuss kernel: WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured Mar 2 01:10:11 svintuss kernel: USB Mass Storage device found at 17 Mar 2 01:10:14 svintuss kernel: SCSI device sda: 29121 512-byte hdwr sectors (15 MB) Mar 2 01:10:14 svintuss kernel: sda: Write Protect is off Mar 2 01:10:14 svintuss kernel: sda: sda1 Mar 2 01:10:15 svintuss kernel: SCSI device sda: 29121 512-byte hdwr sectors (15 MB) Mar 2 01:10:15 svintuss kernel: sda: Write Protect is off Mar 2 01:10:15 svintuss kernel: sda: sda1 ^^^^^^^^^ Greetings, Alex
I've been working through the kde 3.2 instructions at: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/kde31to32.html When I get to this: apt --test dist-upgrade apt fails with these errors: error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted (1) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm I am of course running apt as root, I have no other package managers running (that I'm aware of), and can install, remove and upgrade individual packages with apt. Any ideas as to how to fix this?

No yast, synaptic or rpm build running/active. Try with 'lsof | grep -i rpm' who is currently using the rpm database. If that is too cumbersome, a fast to resolve this is by booting. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
Thanks, but I have tried rebooting (a few times, actually) and 'lsof | grep -i rpm' turns up nothing. Guess I won't be installing kde3.2? Richard Bos wrote:
