Thanks again for all the suggestions.
I am going to close this problem.
Image Viewer works fine by itself and if I right click on the jpg, Image Viewer is what is called.
Plus I have no problem with other jpg, just the ones on the memory stick.
If you get the those images using Windows from the stick: do they work with the image viewer? If you copy the contents of the stick in Linux: do these files work in Windows?
I see you marked as solved, but I donât feel the culprit is identified for sure.
Image Viewer has no problem displaying the images.
The funny thing is if I right click on the jpg it shows that Image Viewer is the program to be called.
Windows has no problem viewing the jpgs.
My laptop with the same Linux has no problems viewing the images.
When I try to view the jpg on the desktop the cursor spins for a few seconds and thatâs it.
So, no the problem is not solved, but I donât have the knowledge to solve it. Plus, the work around works and I was able to get the pics off of the Sony Memory stick.

I have two old desktop PCâs that have different types of reading ports available, if it wasnât
for the front usb ports I would disconnect them. My point is, are you sure you have a drive
letter, or a /dev/xxx to show it is mounted or working.
It sure looked like I had it connected. BTW, Iâm 73.
Here is what I got with -f on sdc1.
easyt@Pro600:~$ sudo fsck -f /dev/sdc1
fsck from util-linux 2.37.2
fsck.fat 4.2 (2021-01-31)
/dev/sdc1: 218 files, 7350/14982 clusters
We are all getting old!!! I had an issue with some png files awhile back, only too find that
the files were not .png, Windows will put the .jpg but Linux sometimes will not. I am out
of ideas.
I still say there is some software missing on that desktop.
Will you try this
dpkg - l | grep jpeg
first on the desktop and then on the laptop that works. Compare them.
Then try again with
dpkg -l | grep fat
on both machines and compare them.
Are there any differences?
We can solve this

Neville
I get this in MX
nevj@trinity:~
$ dpkg -l | grep jpeg
ii libjpeg62-turbo:amd64 1:2.0.6-4 amd64 libjpeg-turbo JPEG runtime library
ii libmjpegutils-2.1-0:amd64 1:2.1.0+debian-6 amd64 MJPEG capture/editing/replay and MPEG encoding toolset (library)
$ dpkg -l | grep fat
ii exfatprogs 1.1.3-1~mx21 amd64 tools to create, check and label exFAT filesystems
ii libstrictures-perl 2.000006-1 all Perl module to turn on strict and make all warnings fatal
Also try this
$ jpeginfo -c cotswold.jpg
cotswold.jpg 750 x 1000 24bit Exif N 176966 [OK]
jpeginfo is in the Debian repository.
Ok Neville, I am willing to take this as far as you want on this. It will be a very good learning experience for me. On the mainframe, I knew what logs to look at, how to trace a program, and if needed how to call IBM support center. With Linux, I know very little of how the system operates. Funny, but I am also have a problem with program Calculator. But I will save that for later.
I almost feel like re-installing Linux b/c now I have 2 problems.
From your request, both jpeg and fat looks the same. I also looked at Nemo. It was different. Desktop at 5.6.4 and Laptop at 5.6.3.
ii gir1.2-nemo-3.0 5.6.4+vera
ii gir1.2-nemo-3.0 5.6.3+vera
Just for fun, it would be nice to downgrade Nemo on the desktop to see if that made a different. But, I donât how to do that.
To try to learn about all the Linuxâs logs, I have been do a little reading and also d/lâed a program called Logwatch.
OK my hunch was wrong there.
ii gir1.2-nemo-3.0 5.6.4+vera
ii gir1.2-nemo-3.0 5.6.3+vera
Just for fun, it would be nice to downgrade Nemo on the desktop to see if that made a different. But, I donât how to do that.
I dont know how to downgrade either.
Maybe someone else can show us how to use apt to downgrade a package?.. or I can look it up
Can that nemo see other jpg files?
Reinstall is a last resort. it is definitely a software issue, you have proved that.
I looked it up
It would seem you dont have to delete the current version, just install the older one
And beware, if you upgrade, it will put the newest version back, unless you âholdâ the package.
BUT
This says you should remove the current package first
I think I would remove first
The bad news;
Well Neville, I f*** if up royally trying to down grade Nemo.
PC would not even boot back to Mint.
My backup was over 2 months old. Usually I backup root monthly.
I did not know, nor did I try, to run Timeshift from a live USB.
The good news;
Clonezilla works like a champ.
My jpg will now display form the Memory stick.
Nemo is at to 5.6.1 vs 5.6.4 with the restore.
And Calculator works fine too.
So now I donât know whether to allow Nemo to be updated or not.
Maybe I will let it get updated, test my jpg viewing and run Timeshift to back out the update if the error occurs again.
Thanks for your help.
You will have to update eventually, so why not face the music now.
Looks like Nemo may have a bug in the latest version. You might have to skip that version.
The package system will skip it if you wait until yet another version is available
Watch out when you update the other PC
Well done Howard
Neville
