Another option is to use the attached script, which automates the process of detecting the reader, so you don't have to press a hotkey.
* copy the attached file scan_sd_reader.sh to /etc/init.d/ and make it executable: sudo cp scan_sd_reader.sh /etc/init.d && sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/scan_sd_reader.sh * make it run at startup: sudo update-rc.d scan_sd_reader.sh defaults Then when you reboot the script will run in the background, checking every 2 seconds if the reader is on the PCI bus, ie which happens when you insert a card. It quits once the reader is detected. You can start it immediately (without rebooting) with: sudo /etc/init.d/scan_sd_reader.sh ** Attachment added: "utility to scan for the JMicron SD reader" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/703180/+attachment/2246493/+files/scan_sd_reader.sh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/703180 Title: SD card reader doesn't work on new Dell XPS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/703180/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
