I sympathise with Walter and Hamish (being an Ubuntu novice). Fortunately my brother in law isn't and was able to talk me through the process.
What I did (with his help) was: 1. Downloaded the patch. You can use the GUI to extract it. I left the extracted folder sitting in the download directory, so the path was /home/daniel/Downloads/keucr in my case (check where your browser has put it). Then open a terminal and type: 2. sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic [note: this seemed to be unnecessary as they were already there] 3. sudo apt-get install build-essential 4. Then changed directory to the path where the folder is (in my case) cd ~/Downloads/keucr [the capital letter is needed] [The tilda seems to be shorthand for /home/yourusername] 5. Then typed the following three instructions (you'll probably need to enter your password after the second one). make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` M=`pwd` modules sudo make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` M=`pwd` modules_install sudo depmod -a ___________ That was it! I had to restart my machine (perhaps more than once). I thought it had had no effect and had almost given up. I then restarted my machine with the card in. Again, no effect (at least I thought) as the computer did not respond to me inserting the card , but on checking with the Disk Utility the card was visible! I was able to pull photos off the SD card. Having unmounted the card using the Disk Utility, I reinserted the card and this time the system responded with a GUI window noting that I'd inserted an SD card and asking which programme I'd like to view it with. Hope this helps the other newbies like me. -- 0cf2:6250 ENE Technology, Inc. card reader not supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530277 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for Fedora. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
