OSCON is over now for me, so this morning I dealt with the keyboard. I
had to call Sager and have them send me some information about how to
remove the keyboard, which came in a couple of JPG files, not a full
manual. They were sufficient for me to remove it, whereupon I soaked
and bathed it in distilled water, then dried thoroughly with a can of
air. Having reinstalled it the right shift key now works occasionally,
but the left arrow key is still broken, and something keeps triggering
the insert button on and off. Plus, the end key is now broken, which did
work before.
Also, I am unable to reconnect the cable for the LED light. It is a
very strange and tiny connector with a "locking collar socket" that
flew off when I pulled the cable out. I have no idea how it is supposed
to go back together. Even with a magnifying glass I cannot see well
enough to figure it out.
Inserting a card in the SD card reader does not make it appear in the
Xubuntu GUI as it used to, but I discovered that dmesg reports it:
[ 2264.525987] mmc0: new high speed SD card at address b368
[ 2264.526333] mmcblk0: mmc0:b368 SD02G 1.76 GiB
[ 2264.529723] mmcblk0: unknown partition table
I tried mounting it manually but the mount command can't figure out the
filesystem either, nor does it accept the type option.
The replacement keyboard from System76 is not here yet.
