Won't ##%%&&@@##!! detect sd card
- Login o registrati per inviare commenti
This appears to be a know issue, while it look worse with a solution (cf. https://trisquel.info/it/forum/wont-detect-sd-card).
My computer just won't detect any sd card or micro sd card.
I have tried different cards:
* Kingston 2 GB sd card
* Transcend 32 GB sd card (hc 1)
* Sandisk 2 GB micro sd card
* Sandisk ultra 16 GB micro sd card (hc 1)
And different approaches:
* sudo apt install exfat-fuse exfat-utils
* sudo apt install --reinstall udisks2 (and a reboot)
* udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdc1 (and sdb1,sdb, sdc etc)
I am on a librebooted and trisquelised t400s.
I think it is the first time i try to use the sd card reader after I upgraded to Trisquel 9, but I have had this issue numerous times on Trisquel 8 as well. By numerous I mean that it generally worked, but for sometimes it didn't (I have not noticed any patterns in this behaviour).
What can cause this and is there a (permanent) solution to it?
I am running the test version of Trisquel 9. I see journalctl reports what happens behind the scenes when I mount my sd card.
So can you report any errors that in the terminal command journalctl
Here's what my journalctl looks like:

I ran the journalctl command prior to and after inserting an sd card. It is not detected. I also don't see why it would be, as it is not ... detected!
If not I knew that the computer have sometimes been able to detect the sd card, I would suppose the reader or the connection to it is broken.
Can there be some sort of driver issue?
Any other idea?
I believe there should be some message if the card reader was connected to the motherboard. What is the output of 'lspci', to be executed in a terminal?

That is twice the same output, as expected. I do not see anything about a card reader. For comparison, on my system:
$ lspci | grep Card
02:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS5229 PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01)
The card reader may be damaged or simply unplugged, I imagine.
The card reader may be damaged or simply unplugged, I imagine.I was thinking the same thing. It's just that I get the same result if I use as micro sdcard -> usb adapter!
I found a different micro sdcard -> usb adapter with which it works. So, it seems I was confused by two simultaneous problems that are unrelated: 1) one of my micro sdcard -> usb adapters doesn't work, 2), my internal sdcard reader doesn't work.
1) I have solved by vertical depositing. 2) needs further investigation....
Thanks for the feedback so far
On my laptop, there's a main hard drive (/dev/sda) divided into four partitions (/dev/sda1 through /dev/sda4)
There's also a flash card (/dev/sdb) with a single partition (/dev/sdb1).
Here's a more direct way of getting to that flash drive, avoiding all the chaff associated with unsuccessful automatic stuff:
To find out whether you're hot on the trail of your flash card, enter these commands into the terminal:
cd /media ; ls ==> that should reveal your [username] if you don't already know it.
cd /media/[username]/ ; ls ==> if your hard drive was automounted, its name will appear.
sudo mkdir /media/[username]/FlashDrive ==> provides the destination for the next command(s).
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/[username]/FlashDrive ==> puts your flash card's data into the file hierarchy.
sudo chown -R [username] /media/[username]/FlashDrive/ ==> makes sure you can access the data on that flash card.
If there's another disk drive on your 'puter, the flash card might be at /dev/sdc etc.
