Title: Qtopia not responding to SD card insertion, Cacko 1.20
Post by: stupkid on March 24, 2004, 06:35:47 pm

c860 running Cacko Qtopia 1.20 ROM was working fine, but ever since I rm\'d a .desktop file via command line:

# rm /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Network/qtrdesktop.desktop

I have not been able to see my SD card via the Qtopia file browser ever since.  The auto mounting of the SD device works fine, but I do not get an applet icon upon insertion and cannot see my SD card in the QPE file browser.  I can see all my SD card data from the console so, my SD card is good.

CF cards work as expected.  I insert a CF memory card or WiFi card and the applet pops up to use the device.  This is what I would normally expect for SD cards.

I checked the links under /home/QtPalmtop/plugins/applets and my links for libcardmonapplet.so* are there.

I\'ve rebooted my Z and tried making changes with the Tab Settings app.  All to no avail.

I really would not like to reflash my Z, but this is pretty annoying.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

I\'ve been looking at /etc/sdcontrol script and it calls chkmntsh after SD cards are mounted.  Does anyone know if this interacts with QPE anyway to update the file browser or is this handled elsewhere?

Thanks,

See this FAQ:
http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php...ing&parent_id=0 (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=FAQ&file=index&myfaq=yes&id_cat=22&categories=Troubleshooting&parent_id=0)

I need to correct the answer though. The correct command is:

ln -sf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab

I\'m assuming the C860 is the same as the 5x00 in this respect.

Thank you very much!  That did the trick.  I\'ll search the FAQ a bit better next time not just the forums.

From the FAQ:

·  Qtopia doesn\'t seem to recognise when I insert or eject a SD/CF card after using smbmount. Why?

    * There is a bug in smbmount which turns a file that is supposed to be a link to another file into a static copy and which is used to detect when a card has been inserted or ejected. To fix this, run the following command as root in the terminal:

      ln -sf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab

I completely forgot that I had run smbmount.  DOH!
