I seem to recall similar being reported previously. Anyway, it might be specific to your card reader hardware. You might want to share those details…

/sbin/lspci -nnk

When you insert an SD card, observe the output from

dmesg |tail

Nothing relevant in the dmesg output. It might be better to do

sudo tail -f /var/log/messages

then repeat the insertion. However, I think that somehow the kernel is not alerted to the card insertion. Some research needed…

Googling shows others experiencing this behaviour. Here’s one pertinent thread:

were every thing works the way its meant to be

Hi
Just a quick question on the windows side, do you need to install
drivers? In saying that I would suspect since it’s a broadcom device
and probably requires firmware, so is the file kernel-firmware
installed? Also next time you visit a linux distro, check the dmesg
output for the word firmware.

I sympathise with you, but I suggest you participate pro-actively by checking/submitting a bug report. It’s the only way it will get the attention it deserves, and you may even find that is fixed in a later kernel version.that using a later kernel Since it is likely kernel related, I’d start here:

Thank you very much! and yes it is kernel related, it happend to me with other distros that I have tried

deano_ferrari · April 5, 2014, 4:01am

Did you add your experiences to any existing bug reports? If so, it might be good to link to them here for the benefit of others who come searching.
