Can't mount 64 GB SDXC

  • 772

I did a clean install of 13.04 and now I'm having a hard time mounting my SD card. I had it working on my old system, which was also 13.04 but I had upgraded from 12.04. I can't figure out how to get it working now.

I tried this on my laptop and this is the result. Any ideas how I can fix this?

  1. just sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils on >= 13.04 it's already there

    NOTE: do not install fuse-exfat with those ... that's a source of a package conflict

  2. I received the same error using linux mint and followed the directions on this website.

    http://blog.drastudios.com/2013/04/add-exfat-support-to-ubuntu.html

    Basically, I downloaded and installed the .deb.

    I did see errors but exfat now mounts fine and I can read/write to the 64gb micro.
