Nope. MMC cards in a usb card reader show up. SD in PCI ricoh MMC readers never show up.
This probably a glitch in the TDE desktop. I have a camera with a USB mass-storage interface and that does not appear either.

I had a problem originally that was due to the lack of libpam-elogind. Why this is not dragged in by elogind is beyond me.

My understanding of the removeable flag in the /sys/block tree was lacking. It is not intuitive. The flag is meant to indicate that a block device that does not disappear has removeable media i.e. floppy, cdrom, tape drive.
The SD card has the controller in the actual card so the entire block device disappears. The MEDIA is not removeable from the controller.

#2 Hardware & System Configuration » SD card reader on laptop identified as hard disk. » 2021-05-18 07:48:22

I have several laptops with Beowulf and Ricoh PCIe sd card readers.
SD cards show up as hard disks i.e. they are labelled as non-removable in /sys/block/mmcblk0.... (Kernel issue?)
The devices are assigned to the disk group and not plugdev as I would expect. (eudev issue?)

Running vanilla Beowulf without the XFCE desktop and with TDE desktop.

The cards do not 'appear' on the desktop as all other pluggable storage device does.
Pmount run as my user still mounts them under /media/mmcblk0p1 without any problem.
Is this a problem for anybody else?

#3 Desktop and Multimedia » Enable middle button drag (libinput) » 2021-01-25 11:46:16

After a deal of de-bugging I have middle button drag on the Trackpoint middle button AND vertical scrolling on the Touchpad on my laptop. This is not simple.
1) libinput can only use udev found devices and does not seem to play nicely with other xorg pointer drivers.
2) libinput uses the same parameters by default for all mouse devices.
3) driver parameters my be placed in *.conf files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

I have a file: 40-libinput.conf

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "Touchpad"
  MatchDriver "libinput"
  MatchIsTouchpad "on"
  Option "Tapping" "on"
  Option "ButtonMapping" "1 0 3"
  Option "ScrollMethod" "edge"
EndSection

Section "Inputclass"
  Identifier "Trackpoint"
  MatchDriver "libinput"
  MatchIsTouchpad "off"
  Option "ScrollMethod" "none"
EndSection

The key to this is the MatchIsTouchpad lines which differentiate parameters between mouse types.
The Tapping "on" is my preference.
The ButtonMapping is to disable chord emulation of middle button on the TrackPad. Again, my preference

The key to getting middle mouse drag is by disabling the ScrollMethod. The default uses middle button hold to convert mouse movement to scroll events.

Not solved for me.
9.rarbg.me does not resolve in DNS. (no ping for me) tracker.opentrackr.org does but *Connection failed*. tracker.cyberia has not been tried yet.

Same here. tracker.dyne.org does not resolve in DNS. (no ping for me) tracker.openbittorrent.com does but *Connection failed*.
