I've got a brand new 64GB Sandisk SD card that reads perfectly on my Chromebook, but I'm having trouble getting it to work on my Linux machine. I tried using the terminal command 'sudo dmesg --follow', but nothing happened. Does anyone have ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

First, you should check what file system the SD card is formatted to. If it's formatted as FAT32, it should generally work across different systems, but sometimes Linux has issues with recognition. You can also try running 'fdisk -l' in the terminal to see if the system recognizes the card at all. If 'fdisk' isn't found, you might need to install it or make sure you're using the right terminal commands for your distribution.
If you insert the SD card into your Debian PC, make sure to run 'fdisk -l' in the terminal. This will help you verify if the card is recognized by your system. If it shows up, you might need to mount it manually if it doesn't auto-mount. If you get a command not found error for 'fdisk', you might have to install the necessary package for your Linux distribution. Let me know if you need help with that!
I formatted it on my Chromebook to FAT32, so it should be good. I'll check the commands for my Linux system again!
