Hi, i have tried now several apps, some are still not ok, this may be the job of the maintainers of these apps. One thing still disturbs me. On my Acer laptop the card reader is a Realtek PCIE card reader. When I open the file menue, I can not see the flash card inserted into the card reader, therefore I can not eject the card. But the fotos can be downloaded i.e. with Shotwell. Does anyone else have similar card reader problems in F23? Kind regards
I think you may be the victim of GNOME's "Do what you maybe probably want." attitude. This is something you might be able to configure to your taste, given sufficient knowledge about what specifications to change.
I have a Lenovo machine with a Realtec card reader:
[ryniker@lenovo ~]$ lspci | grep Card 02:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS5209 PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01)
This is known as /dev/mmcblk0, and when I insert a SD card with file systems on a couple of partitions:
[root@lenovo ryniker]# blkid | grep mmc /dev/mmcblk0: PTUUID="ba2edfb9" PTTYPE="dos" /dev/mmcblk0p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="boot" UUID="74BD-74CF" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="ba2edfb9-01" /dev/mmcblk0p2: UUID="ec2aa3d2-eee7-454e-8260-d145df5ddcba" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="ba2edfb9-02"
GNOME kindly mounts these under /run/media:
[ryniker@lenovo ~]$ mount | grep mmc /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /run/media/ryniker/boot type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=501,gid=501,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2) /dev/mmcblk0p2 on /run/media/ryniker/ec2aa3d2-eee7-454e-8260-d145df5ddcba type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered,uhelper=udisks2)
which I find sometimes helpful, sometimes not. In any case, these are "user" mounts. I have not explored what happens when multiple users are logged in when a card is loaded. If I do not want these file systems mounted, I can:
[ryniker@lenovo ~]$ umount /dev/mmcblk0p1 [ryniker@lenovo ~]$ umount /dev/mmcblk0p2
and then remove the SD card when umount completes (this may take a while if a lot of data must be flushed to the media).
Often, I want to write a new image onto a SD card (dd of=/dev/mmcblk0). If I do not first umount these automatically-mounted file systems, dd output is buffered in memory - dd may report a transfer rate of one gigabyte per second - and I am exceedingly careful to wait until I observe activity to the SD card has ended before I remove it (without any umount operations, which I fear may corrupt the image I just wrote.)
The automatic behavior may be right for most users. I have enough experience to (usually) avoid the pits, and recognize what has gone wrong when I stumble into one.
This Lenovo machine also has a reboot problem similar to one you reported. Windows reboots successfully, but Fedora does not. Fedora shuts down, I see the Lenovo splash screen, but no boot. I must force power off, then wait through a ten-second "Power Saving" countdown displayed on-screen before actual power off, then I can boot successfully. Peculiarity of the Lenovo hardware, I suppose, and I just live with it.
Hi, a further investigation with the internal card reader of my Acer E15 E5-571G with lspci brought up amongst other well defined components: "01:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5287 (rev 01)" I think this could be the Realtek card reader of the laptop? Is it possible that "unassigned class" is the reason why I don't find this laptop internal card reader in the file list on the left hand side of the Gnome file display? In lshw I also don't find the laptop internal card reader (SD card is inserted), even when I can see the SD card in /run/media/joerg/ (my user name is joerg). Is this F23/Gnome special? Or have I to live with this behaviour also in F24,F25,....? Kind Regards

Hi, I have just found that this problem of a Realtek Card reader seems to be more generic in Linux, I found https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57061 which talks about rtsx_pci and rts_bpp. Kernel is really not my area - I am more user, and a little bit testing. Does anyone know the corresponding modules in F23, because this can be the answer of my card reader problem Kind regards
