  • Could you please post text files, dialogue messages, and program output listings as text, not as images? To achieve the latter two you can either 1) select, copy & paste the dialogue text or terminal content or 2) save the program output to a file and use that. Longer listings (the editor will tell you what's too long) should be uploaded to a pastie service and linked to in the question. Thanks. – David Foerster Feb 11 '18 at 11:00

It is just a matter of installing the ExFat utility packages.

sudo apt-get install exfat-utils exfat-fuse

Based on experiences in the comments it looks like it is recommended to reboot the machine before trying to mount the ExFat drive.

See the below question.

How to get a drive formatted with exfat working?

  • Data downloaded from the above link. I insert the SD card and I have to go to "computer" to see the card. It had been listed as it's own "place " before. –  Rapidrob Feb 10 '18 at 21:57
  • I used the above link and it loaded data. The CD card is no longer under "places" as it was before. It is hidden under "computer" If I try to open the SD card,nothing happens.It is just highlighted and nothing happens even if I say "open" –  Rapidrob Feb 10 '18 at 21:59
