micro SD cards not recognized

[Valtam]

If the 4.4 worked, why does it need testing?

Trying to install kernel 4.4, as well as kernel 4.8, using Lite Tweaks results in a message that there was a download and installation error, however the log is blank.

Trying to install kernel 4.4, and also 4.8, from the command line gives the below output for both, just substitute 4.4.0 and 4.8.0 for the appropriate attempts.

As libssl1.1 is installed the issue is, why are the kernel install attempts failing ? [member=5414]firenice03[/member] has also received an error message when attempting an install.

The previously linked post and bug report indicated that kernel 4.4 would recognize the microSD card. However, since kernel 4.4 is not installable from either Lite Tweaks, or the command line, I booted a live USB of Linux Lite 3.8 since it uses kernel 4.4, and the microSD card was recognized. But, Linux Lite 3.8 is about to reach EOL and kernel 4.4, as well as 4.8, are not installable under Linux Lite 5.2 because of the message regarding libssl, even though libssl1.1 is already installed.

In short, I found by live booting Linux Lite 3.8 that kernel 4.4 recognizes the microSD card, but kernel 4.4, and also 4.8, are not installable in Linux Lite 5.2 because of the error involving libssl, even though that file is already installed. For some reason the kernel install attempts are not recognizing that libssl 1.1 is installed.

Hi, again!
Glad to help if I can!
It's difficult for me to figure out why is that so difficult to use an external card reader.
The chosen path, (kernel change) has an obvious downside: all kernels and even the OSes, have an EOL that is mostly very close to "NOW".
Assuming Jerry will find the time to fix the kernel bug (and I am sure it's a taugh task...). you will end up with a working OLD system, that is rapidly getting to an end (EOL).
Given this situation, the only available choice is to give up any internet related tasks, since the software is already outdated and this will lead to an endless list of errors of all kinds, in time.
I'd rather find a solution to use a newer version and the external reader would be another solution.
Since the information about the machine is missing, it's difficult to find a working solution for a "black box".
Maybe you can spare some minutes to issue an

Code:

inxi -c 0 -ACdGMNSz

This command will give us enough info to search and eventually, find a "scalable" solution. I used quotes, since "scalable" here, referes only to a newer OS version.
Since I assume the computer is old, maybe would be useful as an idea, if I tell you that I've been using a Lenovo ThinkPad T400, standard configuration (4 GB RAM DDR II), for all kind of tasks, including video and audio editing and the last installation, was Linux Lite 5.0 and worked fine. I was lazy enough though, to skip the upgrade, since I now use the Dell T1700 as primary machine.
Another issue that might prevent you from using an external card reader, might be the number of USB slots. Well, a good hub solves this. I use lots of USB devices so I had to deal with that myself.
But unless we know the exact configuration of the machine, it's all guesswork...

That is all I could figure out so far.
Hope you'll be "up and running" ASAP!

Best regards!

After much analysis, it seems that something in the kernel build process for kernels 4.10 and above has changed.

Could you try this please:

Code:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

then try the Kernel Installer again for 4.8 in Linux Lite 5.2

Below is the output of sudo apt --fix-broken install

After running sudo apt --fix-broken install I tried to install kernel 4.8 using Lite Tweaks and received the below message in an onscreen window:

An error occurred while downloading and
installing Kernel Version 4.8.0.

Would you like to review the logs?

Clicking yes brought up the log, but it was blank.

I then tried to install kernel 4.4 using Lite Tweaks and received the same message, applicable to 4.4.

An error occurred while downloading and
installing Kernel Version 4.4.0.

Would you like to review the logs?

Clicking yes brought up the log again, but it was also blank.

Install the kernel and headers via the command line to get the actual error message.

I just now ran both---

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-4.8.0 linux-image-linuxlite-4.8.0

and

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-4.4.0 linux-image-linuxlite-4.4.0

...the output of both is listed below.

Previously, at the suggestion of [member=5414]firenice03[/member], I ran the following---

dpkg --get-selections | grep hold

---the output (just now) of that is also listed below.

When it says broken packages in the error message, run the broken command, then try the kernel install.
