This is a followup to my post from yesterday, as my “fix” ended up breaking SteamOS (would stay on Deck logo after reboot).
Upon updating to SteamOS 3.5.5 on Stable, NONE of my microSd cards will mount. They all give me the same error:
“An error occurred while accessing ‘mmcblk0p1’, the system responded: The request operation has failed: Error creating directory ‘none’ to be used four mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1: Read-only file system”
I know people will tell me my card is the issue. Bullshit. I’d accept that if it was just one card. But NONE of my cards work and give the same error. Same cards worked before the update. if I downgrade back to 3.4, they still work just fine. I can put them in any other Linux PC, and they still work fine. So this is clearly a SteamOS 3.5 issue, not a microSD issue. Only other person I found with this same issue is on this GitHub issue report: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1141
Unfortunately, following the steps there didn’t help. The only way I’ve gotten the cards to work is by opening Dolphin as root, going to /run/media/ and making a folder with the name of my microSD’s label. I then open KDE Partition manager and set that as the card’s mount point. Issue with this is that it borks SteamOS upon reboot. I’m just stuck on the Deck logo (going back to Gaming Mode is fine, it’s after an actual reboot).
Does anyone have any solution? The issue seems to be that SteamOS deleted the mount point during the update, but failed to create the new one (for some reason). I have reimaged SteamOS 3.5.5 3 times now. Still the same issue. In the meantime, I’ll downgrade back to 3.4.11.
Just wanted to say this helped me soo much! Was able to edit the file and now my sd card is working. Thanks a bunch.
Mee too.
Had something similar.
The solution is to offload the card, reformat it with the Deck, and move everything back on. 100% guaranteed to work (if your card doesn’t have a hardware issue).
Having this problem too— I managed to find the fstab file but that line is not there…
Navigate to this GitHub and post your report
Same here
My sd cards been perfectly fine for a year now. Installed 3.5.5 and its not there.
It worked at first try!!! Thank you!
My fstab file doesnt have line " /dev/mmcblk0p1 none ext4 defaults "
Did something changed?
Having this exact same issue. The only way I’ve found to fix this TEMPORARILY at the moment is doing. It will go away when you restart and you’ll have to do it again:
- sudo mkdir /run/media/mmcblk0p1
- sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /run/media/mmcblk0p1I’m sorry if this is dumb, but I’m having the same exact issue. Since the 3.5.5 update it won’t read my sd card, says it can be formatted but not mounted. I’ve only owned my deck for like a month and I have no clue what I’m doing. I was able to open the konsole command, but typing in the commands shown does nothing, when I hit enter it just allows me to type a new line.
Did typing
suprompt you to type a password?
Thank you so much. Was pulling my hair out over this. Now it works, a true hero!
