EDIT: This time I’ve used Jumpdrive to upload here related Screenshot and happy to confirm below sudo fdisk -l output (as Librem 5 still connected to my computer), useful one:

@pit, please let us know if related /dev/sdX for Disk model: e microSD output visible to you?
This one looks good to me, as it should be! Other outputs from my phone, that you requested, would not bring us where you need to get (and not have much time at the moment). But below posting of yours makes me believe that we need to reformat your microSD card(s). Let me think about on how to do that, let me know if you want to reformat your microSD card outside of the Librem 5.
While mounted microSD card should read like this (mine here is of size 32GB, just by coincidence at this moment):
sda 8:0 1 29.1G 0 disk
└─sda1
8:1 1 29.1G 0 part /media/pur
Ok, I formated the sd cards to exfat, ext2, ext4, vfat. No change.
I will contact purism the following day, if I get no further. If you (or someone else with a functioning sd reader in the librem5) have time, it would be great to see the output of
@pit, as you are really ready (because I think that your microSD card, as is now, isn’t readable within Librem 5) to sacrifice (erase all of your current data) one of your microSD cards you might start here (further steps, actual formatting, as needed, might afterwards be done on Librem 5 as well):
Hopefully the image of the output of those commands helps. It looks to me that the card reader hardware can be seen but the card is not being recognised, as you say you have tried a number of cards all of which work on another Linux system, I’d be inclined to think it’s a hardware fault.
@pit, perhaps sharing here fdisk --list output of used microSD card(s), from outside of the phone, might help us further. And even cleaning contacts of used SanDisk Ultra microSD (or other one) with some microfiber cloth might indeed help to be recognized within here related device.
Yes indeed (Thanks!), and @pit, I really do hope that this might be solution here within this thread (as I even took BPP-L503 battery out before inserting microSD card into the Librem 5 microSD slot, with contacts facing up toward flashlight side), as shown within picture you’ve just posted.
@Loki and I just hoped that we can help you. Consequently now I’m admitting that is much better that you address your microSD issue toward support@ team from Purism, as @dos already recommended here.
Lol the MicroSD card can’t be hotplugged? I am having them same issue so I decided to test another another MicroSD and they work without issue on Android and I’m just now finding this out with the hotplug issue… Can this cause the SD card reader to short circuit?
Kinda sad to hear that. I will be careful with future removals of my sim card then. SIM still functions but my sd card reader shows only the above in disks. I am going to do a fresh reinstall just out of curiosity.
I would like to report back after a fresh LUKS image install. That my SD card reader is indeed dead, tested with 3 different microsd cards. That’s ok, not a huge loss, but unfortunate that can happen if hotswapped.
After a fresh install I can confirm the above statement. the Composite Gadget doesn’t exist from using lsusb.
