[08:34] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:34] <zmoylan-pi> shhhhhh!! it's monday out there!!
[08:35] <brobostigon> it is, yes, and its wet and dreary.
[08:36] <zmoylan-pi> dry for now... https://isitraining.in/Dublin

[09:50] <TwistedLucidity> It's a Bank Holiday for some, so of course it's horrid.
[09:56] <acheronUK> very horrid http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-40083025
[14:12] <MooDoo> howdy all
[14:42] <brobostigon> would it be possible to run an install image in something like virtualbox or qemu etc, and then install to a usb stick?
[14:46] <penguin42> brobostigon: That depends
[14:47] <penguin42> brobostigon: The emulated hardware in qemu/virtualbox is a bit weird - kind of like a late90s PC with extras, if the installation installs the more normal drivers as well you're OK, if it just installs enough for that then you'll be a bit stuck
[14:48] <brobostigon> ah i see.
[14:48] <brobostigon> is there a better way of doing it in that case?
[14:49] <penguin42> well, it's not necessarily a bad way - just saying be a little careful
[14:50] <brobostigon> ok, ty, :)
[14:55] <penguin42> brobostigon: The other thing I'd do is when you configure the qemu/virtualbox I'd give it a virtual USB stick rather than a virtual any other disk, it might have a better chance depending what you're installing
[14:57] <brobostigon> ah ok, let me try and see what happens.
[15:54] <dogmatic69> any idea why my memory card does not show up? in the syslog I can see it detected
[15:55] <dogmatic69> May 29 16:53:09 optimus-prime kernel: [788822.093808] scsi 14:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Mass     Storage Device        PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS
[15:55] <penguin42> 14? !
[15:55] <penguin42> hmm
[15:55] <dogmatic69> :O
[15:55] <penguin42> dogmatic69: Does anything show in /proc/partitions ?
[15:56] <dogmatic69> no such file or directory
[15:56] <penguin42> ?
[15:56] <dogmatic69> sorry missed the s...
[15:56] <dogmatic69> its empty
[15:57] <penguin42> empty? It wont be empty
[15:58] <dogmatic69> sorry, I thought it was a folder. its got https://paste.ubuntu.com/24704209/
[15:58] <dogmatic69> also from sys log when inserting: mtp-probe: checking bus 3, device 19: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-13"
[16:00] <dogmatic69> In nautilus I can see something flash for a split second in the "drive" list. It's like it tried
[16:01] <penguin42> dogmatic69: how big is the card?
[16:01] <dogmatic69> 64GB
[16:01] <dogmatic69> I just had it in windows and was working
[16:01] <penguin42> hmm none of those look like 64gb
[16:01] <dogmatic69> its a dashcam card, might be some half attempt at a file system...
[16:02]  * penguin42 assumes other errors in the dmesg?
[16:02] <dogmatic69> its a usb card reader
[16:03] <dogmatic69> dmesg https://paste.ubuntu.com/24704246/
[16:05] <penguin42> dogmatic69: Were you removing the card and putting it back there or did it do it by itself?
[16:05] <penguin42>  'Product:  AutoRUN/Partition'  fun
[16:07] <dogmatic69> I was putting it in and out
[16:08] <penguin42> dogmatic69: OK, put it in, then leave it a few seconds and get a fresh dmesg and /proc/partitions
[16:08] <dogmatic69> that was after a while, its not had anything since that paste
[16:09] <dogmatic69> at a glance, partitions looks the same
[16:13] <penguin42> hmm
[16:14] <penguin42> dogmatic69: Thing is that's saying there's a sdd but I don't see it in /proc/partitions
[16:14] <penguin42> dogmatic69: You say this is a USB card reader? What happens if you unplug the reader and reconnect it?
[16:14] <dogmatic69> its a sandisk MicroMate
[16:14] <dogmatic69> that is what I have been doing
[16:15] <penguin42> hmm not sure, it looks OKish from the dmesg
[16:15] <penguin42> it's not saying the size of the disk that's a bit odd
[16:17] <dogmatic69> maybe the reader is crapped out
[16:21] <dogmatic69> Thanks anyway, I will just use a actual card reader on my laptop as that is working.
