All my actions are based on this video.
Unfortunately, after connecting the usb-connector, the results are: many errors. for example: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ dmesg Spoiler:
root@ubuntu:~# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1 Spoiler:
root@ubuntu:~# dd if=/media/APACER/mmcblk0p1.dmp of=/dev/sdc1 Spoiler:

*nix basics
Are the three "spoilers" included in your most recent post suppose to represent things you did, in the order you did them?
For instance, "spoiler 1" reads a lot more like the result of trying to format (or other write activity) the device discovered as sdc. Not all of that as the result of plugging in the cable. Please clearify what messages are the result of what actions. With all of the device errors shown in "spoiler 1" - What did you have in mind trying to format it in "spoiler 2"? Was there some reason to doubt the errors being reported in "spoiler 1"? Then in "spoiler 3" you try to use the dd command to over-write the contents of a partiton, including any formatting recorded there. The dd command works at the device level, not the file system level. You can read that in your own command where you have to use the name of a device rather than the name of a mounted file system. So if your command in "spoiler 3" had worked, even a little bit, it would have made your efforts shown in "spoiler 2" a waste of time. But since "spoiler 1" reported that the device wasn't working properly - what did you expect to achive by not finding and fixing the cause of that problem before continueing? |

Quickly, before GeekMaster slams me (again) for not writing a helpful post.
Before connecting the usb cable, what do you expect to see in the kernel message buffer? You must be able to answer that question if you are going to do any problem solving. Here is a starting point to help you answer that question: (the '-c' option clears the message buffer, which requires 'root' privledges) sudo dmesg -c Insert a removable USB device, a USB stick if you have one dmesg Cut & paste the result somewhere you can refer to it later. If your desktop automation auto-mounted the USB stick, unmount it. sudo dmesg -c Remove the USB stick dmesg Cut & paste the result somewhere you can refer to it later. Now carefully follow the directions GeekMaster directed you to, upto and just prior to inserting the USB cable. sudo dmesg -c insert the USB cable dmesg Cut & paste the result somewhere you can refer to it and compare with the expected result you saved above. What are the differences? Can you account for the differences? (ans: the only significant difference might be the device name, which is dynamically picked in "discovery order" unless your re-naming it with a udev rule). Are there any error messages or warning messages included in the kernel messages from inserting either the USB stick or (later) insterting the USB cable? What are they? (there should not be any warnings or errors) Can you account for the differences? You must have a properly recognized device before going any further. |

I only get upset about posts that I feel are doubting my own personal credibility without sufficient evidence. I think that my defensive reaction is a common reaction to "aggressive listening" (as defined here: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AggressiveListening). It really is just a way of learning and interacting in a way that upsets some people, and I think there are a few people here who fall into the aggressive listener category and who have triggered defensive posturing from me. Sorry about that.

Would you try following my directions next? First step in capturing useful information from the kernel message buffer: sudo dmesg -c Which clears the message buffer after reporting the current contents. You can see that if you do: sudo dmesg -c sudo dmesg -c And the second command will have nothing to report because the first one cleared the buffer. At this point take the single action that you expect the kernel to recognize, such as plugging in or unplugging a removable device (the K2 USB connection is one such thing). Then examine the message buffer - which you know was empty before your single action - meaning whatever is in there now is the result of your single action. Highlight the desired information in the command terminal, copy, paste into a text editor (not a word processor) such as gedit. No need to waste anyone's time with a meaningless, 10 minute video. Question: What was that "usb connect" command that you typed in the terminal? Your system did not recognize it, but what did you intend by typing it? Note: Video shows you running as 'root' in the command line terminals. An extremely bad idea even for someone who knows what they are doing. |

This is not a team, this is a comment for you - shows that now I plug my usb connector.
You do not look a video? Views counter = 0 I understood the meaning of the command "sudo dmesg-c", but it is not clear to me what gives? Errors with the name of the device there. root no problem - LiveCD. add: 10 minutes to spend watching video is not necessary: the time of the important points mentioned in the comments.

Unfortunately my knowledge of English is approximately equal to my knowledge of Linux.
