I've just replaced my internal card reader had had a similar experience.
It turned out I'd forgotten to connect the power connector. The USB ports
work on a pass-through, so they were unaffected, but the cards appear to
connect to an internal powered hub, which wasn't powered.

Have you enabled the necessary drivers in your kernel?

Boot off a live CD that detects the USB controller and your MicroSD drive and 
then check what kernel drivers are being used.  When you boot back into Gentoo 
you can enable the same and roll a new kernel.

Actually what I've got is a SanDisk 16GB microSD with an SD adapter.
Using my wife's windoze laptop, the SD/microSD combo works fine.

My initial use of the card is for Ubuntu linux for a MK802+ mini-pc.
The MK802+ boots Android off its internal storage or Ubuntu off of the
microSD.  So, yes, the card appears to work.

I see.  I prefer changing my home directory as nothing needs to be done
with new apache releases.

OK.

Have you tried those cards on a different system to see if they work? 
If they do, then the reader may be bad.  May want to look for dust but
if it is new, surely not.  ;-)  Packing peanut maybe?  o_O

I have bought a couple thinks made by Rosewill.  Neither of them worked
for long.  I sent one back for repair/replacement and got a new one with
about the same problem.  I didn't send it back again because it wasn't
worth shipping back again plus I was expecting it to work at least for a
little while.  It lasted overnight  My new policy, don't buy Rosewill
products.  They may work fine for someone else but they don't for me.

[gentoo-user] udev rules

2012-09-30 Thread David Relson
Good morning!

I have a Rosewill 75 in 1 card reader with slots for USB, SATA, SD,
microSD, etc.  udev recognizes USB devices and mounts them
as /media/.  

However, when SD and microSD cards are inserted, /var/log/messages
doesn't report anything and the cards aren't mounted.

Any suggestions where to look? what to fix?

I'm running kernel 3.2.11 on an AMD64 with udev-171.

Here's a link to the card reader

Re: [gentoo-user] USERDIR problem with apache on new install (SOLVED)

It's not about liking... mod_userdir automatically maps a URL in the
form ~/foo onto user foo's home dir, as it is recorded in the system's
user database. If you put /local/allan/gottlieb there, apache tries to
serve files directly from /local/allan/gottlieb.

The default mod_userdir configuration
(/etc/apache2/modules.d/00_mod_userdir.conf, of which you pasted an
excerpt in the other email) only sets an "Allow from all" for
directories in the form "/home/*/public_html", which does not include
anything under /local.

You can either change your home directory, or add


   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all

   [whatever other options you need]


in the apache config for the virtualhost you're using.

As for the "FollowSymlinks" and "SymlinksIfOwnerMatch" options, I'm not
sure they apply here: they should only affect whether the server follows
symlinks *within* the document root, not symlinks in the path *leading
to* the document root.

I think attaching that is considered to be more appropriate, as we
don't know whether nopaste.info will be available for as long as the mail
archives.

I don't really understand the problem, as the multiple package instances
seem to have the same version. But maybe it helps to add --tree to the
options, this shows which stuff gets pulled in why.
And maybe adding --update --deep may sort things out. I also had success
sometimes with doing what the output says, adding --backtrack=30.
