SD Card Reader not working in Ubuntu 12.04
- by tripkane
I have a read many other posts on this issue and believe that Ubuntu 12.04 is not even recognizing my SD Card Reader as just that:
Computer Model: Metabox (Australian builder of Clevo laptops) / Clevo
P150EM
OS: Ubuntu 12.04 (64 Bit)
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3720QM CPU @ 2.60GHz
HD: 120GB Intel 550/520MB/s SSD
According to the people who built my computer, the specs of the SD Card reader in my comp are as follows:
Manufacture: Realtek Semiconduct Corp.
Location: PCI bus 3
Hardware ID: PCI\Ven_10EC&DEV_5289&SUBSYS_51051558
Physical device object name: \Device\NTPNP_PCI0015
Here are the relevant outputs of the following commands run from the terminal:
sudo lshw

Does the unassigned details of these outputs mean that Ubunutu desn't know that the SD Card Reader is one and what do with it? and if so how should I go about fixing it??
Cheers ;)
