From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to read a (probably damaged) microSD card from my computer (tried with two different computers, both Arch Linux, which can read other card without any problems). There isn't any singal of life (no /dev/sdX, nothing with GParted, testdisk, ...); the only thing that I found was in dmesg. Here's the output of sudo dmesg | rg "mmc0":

Any idea on how to resolve?

I'll try cleaning it with alcol. Is it a good idea to use pressurized air?
