My card reader doesn't show up at all, but previously did in 10.10
- by Nathan J. Brauer
I bought a pin-based-USB powered internal media card reader and it worked perfectly when I first installed Ubuntu 10.10 a month ago. I used it a few times since and today I booted up the computer and it's not working.
Here's how it used to work:
In nautilus->computer, 5 "drives" would display even when no card was inserted.
One for each slot (SD, XD, CF/MS, etc).
Opening one w/o a card would initiate a "Please insert card." dialog.
Inserting a card would automatically open nautilus.
Now:
No drives display at all whether cards are inserted or not.
lsusb lists the following (which seems to indicate that it's not being detected)
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 046d:c52e Logitech, Inc. (my keyboard/mouse)

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
(A side note, all of my USB ports are 2.0 + 1 USB port which is 3.0, why does everything say 1.1/2.0?)
I tried using ubuntu-bug but for USB devices it expects you to be able to remove and insert them while the computer is running -- obviously something you probably shouldn't be doing when you're dealing with devices plugged straight into the USB pins.
Thanks in advance!
