So, I am pretty new to Linux and just installed UBUNTU 14.04 LTS. I've had no issues so far with anything that I could not find answers to here. However, I inserted my 32Gb SD Card into my SD card slot (I've verified on a Windows machine that the card does in fact work) and received the following message:

Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/cj/4421-0000: 
  Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,
  iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" 
  "/dev/sdb1" "/media/cj/4421-0000"' exited with non-zero exit status 32:
  mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

To be quite honest, I have no clue what any of this means. There are other links to this question that I did try but could not get any of them to work. I have a Dell Inspirion and a clean install of UBUNTU 14.04LTS. Can anyone decipher this and tell me what I need to do to mount this SD card correctly?

I think the FS format is in exFAT - a filesystem that I think Ubuntu doesn't agree with all too well (though Windows doesn't mind it). Try placing the format of the SD card as NTFS; I haven't had any NTFS problems with Ubuntu (though I was using 12.04).

I had the same issue, albeit on Linux Mint.

I installed "exfat fuse" and am now able to mount my 128GB SDcard.
