<div dir="ltr">dad.... I just thought of something. I had my printer plugged into a USB port and one day it stopped working. I don't know why I did what I did but I changed the USB port it w\as plugged in to and it came back to life. I thought the port had died but when I plug thumb drives into it mounts. Moral of the story.... try another port for the card reader.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 18, 2016 at 10:14 AM, Michael Havens <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bmike1@gmail.com" target="_blank">bmike1@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I have no problem writing to SD cards with Mint17.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 18, 2016 at 9:28 AM, Matt Graham <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mhgraham@crow202.org" target="_blank">mhgraham@crow202.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Did you accidentally flip the little switch on the side of the SD<br>

That was my first thought, but that's apparently not the problem.<br>

Some distros do this. Mint is probably one of them.[0] Most removable-media SD cards have a FAT32 filesystem on them, and FAT doesn't actually have Unix-style permissions. These are faked at mount time according to the automounter's configuration, and generally the user who's logged in should be able to read and write the files on the mounted medium.<br>
<br>
So: Unplug the device, then plug it in again and immediately do "dmesg | tail -n 40". This'll tell you what the kernel thinks is going on with the SD card. It might think the filesystem is damaged and so it's mounting it read-only, or something.<br>
<br>
[0] I don't think automounters are a good idea for various reasons.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
