jevgtv, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, DistroRelease: LinuxMint 13 is not a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!

If you are interested in learning more about software repositories and Ubuntu the following pages should be informative:

1. http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - information about Ubuntu repositories
2. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - information regarding managing repositories

[jevgtv (tugevus)]

Dear Christopher,

Thank you for your help so far. I will follow the instructions kindly
given by you.

As you can read from my bug report, the problem is connected with Ubuntu
also. I just reported it from LinuxMint 13, because I it was the system
I used in this particular moment.

If you want me to report the bug again, this time from Ubuntu, I can do
it. Howere the information collected was related to my machine, not to
distribution.

In addition, Mint is based on ubuntu, and all the bug-fixes affect
LinuxMint also.

So could you kindly re-open the bag?

Regards,

jevgtv

jevgtv, thank you for attempting to test the newest mainline. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem through the appropriate channel by following the instructions _verbatim_ at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel#KernelTeam.2BAC8-KernelTeamBugPolicies.Overview_on_Reporting_Bugs_Upstream ?

Marking Triaged as mainline tested, and regression test of Lucid kernel.

According to Russian forums http://unixforum.org/index.php?showtopic=74036 the reader worked with Ubuntu 8.04

[Ubuntu QA Website (ubuntuqa)]

This bug has been reported on the Ubuntu laptop testing tracker.

A list of all reports related to this bug can be found here:
http://laptop.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/bugs/1066375

[jevgtv (tugevus)]

Christopher, might it be good idea to test the kernel of 8.04?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

jevgtv, you are welcome to try a hardy kernel via https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux .

[jevgtv (tugevus)]

12.04 does not start with hardy kernel, it was necessary to restore original kernel via live usb session

[jevgtv (tugevus)]

developer does not answer...

I would be grateful for advice, how may I try kernel 2.6.25?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

jevgtv, thank you for your comments. Regarding them https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1066375/comments/72 :
>"I would be grateful for advice, how may I try kernel 2.6.25?"

If installing a Hardy kernel does not work with Precise, you are welcome to try a Hardy live environment via http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ .

[jevgtv (tugevus)]

Thank you Christopher for the fast responce!
Unfortunatelly, my smart card software (see installer.id.ee) does not
work with hardy, so I can try a kernels only.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

jevgtv, thank you for your comments. If you are unable to test the Hardy live environment or a Hardy kernel, it would be best to follow the directions noted in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1066375/comments/65 , so upstream kernel.org developers can review your problem.

Thank you for your understanding.

Dear Sascha,

Thank you for your help so far!

May be the driver you mentioned should help me, but, as was mentioned in

unfortunately I did not manage to install it.

jevgtv, due to how the driver in use for your card reader is sdhci-pci, as per http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=MAINTAINERS#l2867 you would want to E-Mail the mailing list for that driver <email address hidden> :

jevgtv, as per http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3357382&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3357377&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093#120 an update is available for your BIOS (F.19). If you update to this, does it change anything?

If not, could you please test http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8-rc1-raring/ ?

[jevgtv (tugevus)]

Hello Christopher,

Thank you for your help so far.

The kernel you suggested does not help with old BIOS.
uname -a
3.8.0-030800rc1-generic #201212212135 SMP Sat Dec 22 02:45:41 UTC 2012
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

The process of BIOS updating will take a while. It is little bit
complicated. I do not have windows, so have to learn how to create
BIOS-replacing-usb from *.exe provided by HP.

Regards

jevgtv

Will try a new BIOS. Is there a understandable HOWTO when on a Linux box? (No dual boot)

[jevgtv (tugevus)]

Is that understandable?

Well partly ... ;) I had success with the following description:
http://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/2012/03/creating-freedos-bootable-usb-stick-to.html

The crucial part was to get a working phlash16.exe ... I tried three of them and finally success .. no brick, latest BIOS and drumroll ... the SD card reader is WORKING! Tada

So at last for me it was a BIOS related bug.

[jevgtv (tugevus)]

Dear Christopher,

I am sorry, I did not manage with updating BIOS.

It is unable to boot from trivial DOS or Win98 prompt USB.

HP 6910p needs some drivers for booting DOS or Windows, and I am not so
familiar with that.

Dear Jhoechtl, what are you mean under SD-reader? If SanDisc reader, if
works for me without updating of BIOS.

My problem is connected with SC-reader, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_card

Regards,

Jevgtv

It does not help.

jevgtv, thank you for updating your BIOS and testing a newer mainline kernel. Could you please test http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8-rc3-raring/ ?

[jevgtv (tugevus)]

Dear Christopher,

Thank you for your help so far.

I have tested the kernel you suggested and I am sad to inform that the problem does not solved yet. Diagnostic's report atteched.

Unfortunatelly I have not recieved any acknoledgement or confirmation of receiveng my report by kernel team . So possibly kernel maintainers do not aware about the issue. Or may be you have another information?

Regards,

jevgtv, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem through the appropriate channel by following the instructions _verbatim_ at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel#KernelTeam.2BAC8-KernelTeamBugPolicies.Overview_on_Reporting_Bugs_Upstream ?

Thank you for your understanding.

Dear Christopher,

Thanks a lot, I will follow your suggestions and report this issue.

I am affraid that the correct name of the device is Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II, not Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822.
I am wondering, how might we check it?

I was confused in thinking you were noting a problem with your SD card reader. I'll change it to the correct information. I based my editing of the title due to your https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1066375/+attachment/3401251/+files/Lspci.txt .

[penalvch (penalvch)]

jevgtv, thank you for posting a direct URL to the report. A number of issues exist in your post http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mmc/17486 that may have contributed to the report not being responded to. These are documented in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies :
+ You omitted the wording for each section. For example:
[1.] 1180:0822 smart card reader Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II not working

should be:
[1.] One line summary of the problem: 1180:0476 SmartCard Reader Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 not working

+ You posted a link for the Bug Description instead of typing it directly into the report for [2.].

+ You posted Ubuntu tags into an upstream bug report in section [3.]. Upstream does not use the Ubuntu tag system.

+ You were not booted into the newest mainline kernel when providing the upstream information (ex. sections [4.] and [7.1.]), while the newest kernel version available as of the date of your post was v3.6.5.

+ Putting extraneous information into [5.] when you don't have an oops, and [6.] when you are not providing a shell script.

Despite all this, could you please test for this problem in the newest mainline kernel available http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8-rc4-raring/ ? If reproducible, and since your initial upstream post was not responded to, you would be justified in creating a bug report on bugzilla.kernel.org following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelTeamBugPolicies .
