Comment 168 for bug 530277

Hi,
Thank you for your email. I am using 10.10 on an Acer Aspire One D255
and almost every time I allow an update to take place that affects the
kernel I lose the SD reader. However the keurcr fix works very well and
I just run a small script -

cd /home/nigel/Downloads/keucr
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

and I have my SD reader back until the next upgrade.

The other difference seems to be that on 10.10 I do not have a
sub-directory called modules under /etc . I have modules.d but no
mention of acpiphp. All the aciphp files on my system are to be found
in /lib/modules/......./kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug.

I am quite happy to have to apply a patch like this as it is a small
price for the stability and reliability of Linux compared to the other
MS options.

The last update lost me the link again between the sound drivers and
apps like sound recorder and Skype. I can't remember how I got it back
last time. The system test runs all paths successfully i.e. internal &
external mic, internal speakers & headphones so the hardware is good.
The level meter also works but no mike input gets to the top level app.
Playback is fine. I have reported it but been too busy to chase it just
now.

Thanks again

Nigel.
