Here's what I did with my card reader under Ubuntu 9.04: 1) clear out dmesg cache $ sudo dmesg -c > /dev/null 2) insert card into card reader and plug card reader into USB 3) display dmesg $ dmesg [ 331.409324] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10 [ 331.615009] usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 331.615360] scsi9 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices [ 331.615857] usb-storage: device found at 10 [ 331.615862] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning [ 336.618641] usb-storage: device scan complete [ 336.622598] scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access Sony USB HS-CF Card 3.95 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 336.626480] scsi 9:0:0:1: Direct-Access Sony USB HS-xD/SM 3.95 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 336.630362] scsi 9:0:0:2: Direct-Access Sony USB HS-MS Card 3.95 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 336.633914] scsi 9:0:0:3: Direct-Access Sony USB HS-SD Card 3.95 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 336.642098] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk [ 336.642249] sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 [ 336.647299] sd 9:0:0:1: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk [ 336.647423] sd 9:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 [ 337.705332] sd 9:0:0:2: [sde] 1951744 512-byte hardware sectors: (999 MB/953 MiB) [ 337.715931] sd 9:0:0:2: [sde] Write Protect is off [ 337.715939] sd 9:0:0:2: [sde] Mode Sense: 87 00 00 00 [ 337.715944] sd 9:0:0:2: [sde] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 337.727772] sd 9:0:0:2: [sde] 1951744 512-byte hardware sectors: (999 MB/953 MiB) [ 337.738685] sd 9:0:0:2: [sde] Write Protect is off [ 337.738694] sd 9:0:0:2: [sde] Mode Sense: 87 00 00 00 [ 337.738700] sd 9:0:0:2: [sde] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 337.738715] sde: sde1 [ 337.742125] sd 9:0:0:2: [sde] Attached SCSI removable disk [ 337.742271] sd 9:0:0:2: Attached scsi generic sg5 type 0 [ 337.796458] sd 9:0:0:3: [sdf] Attached SCSI removable disk [ 337.796622] sd 9:0:0:3: Attached scsi generic sg6 type 0 $ blkid /dev/sde1 /dev/sde1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="CAMERA" UUID="0000-0000" TYPE="vfat" $ pmount /dev/sde1 Error: device /dev/sde1 is not removable While the pmount did not work (that's odd), I was able to click on Places > Removable Media > Camera to mount my MemoryStick card.
