Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.1 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your quick response. I upgraded as follows, but this issue is not fixed unfortunately...:

Same error dialog is also poped up.

Bye the way, could you let me know how to rollback to original 15.04 kernel? I need to use virtualbox on this.

As MainlineBuilds page says, I needed to remove virtualbox to upgrade to latest upstream kernel, but I would like to use it.

[Fuminori Ido (fuminori-ido)]

Sorry for posting many times. As I was able to roll back to original 15.04 as https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds#Uninstalling_upstream_kernels instructs. Let me add one comment here that Virtualbox didn't come back again with the following error:

  Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
  The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv.
  Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
    '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
  as root...

So that I needed to uninstall all of virtualbox packages and install them again. Then, Virtualbox works again.

[Fuminori Ido (fuminori-ido)]

Of course, this SD card works find on Thinkpad X220 Ubuntu 14.04. Any help is very welcome!

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Fuminori Ido, please answer the following questions:
1) What is the full manufacturer and model of the card (not card reader) you are using?
2) Regarding the Lenovo ThinkPad X250 (not X220 or any other computer) did this work in Trusty? If you don't know, could you please test via http://releases.ubuntu.com/ and advise to the results?

[Fuminori Ido (fuminori-ido)]

Hi,

> 1) What is the full manufacturer and model of the card (not card reader) you are using?

Gigastone 4GB microSD HC
Not only this, but also another SD card (SILICON POWER 16GB SDHC) is not read as well.

> 2) Regarding the Lenovo ThinkPad X250 (not X220 or any other computer) did this work in Trusty?

Trusty means 14.04, right? I tried, but after hitting "Install Ubuntu" menu, screen just fell into black-screen;-(

Thanks and Best Regards.

[Fuminori Ido (fuminori-ido)]

I applied the latest kernel as follows:

  $ cat uname
  Linux dokudami-x250 4.1.1-040101-generic #201507030635 SMP Fri Jul 3 10:38:27 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

but issue isn't fixed:-(

Following is the diff of dmesg:

  $ dmesg >/tmp/dmesg.before
  (insert SD card, but not recognized...)
  $ dmesg >/tmp/dmesg.after
  $ diff /tmp/dmesg.before /tmp/dmesg.after
  925a926,929

  > [ 146.508751] FAT-fs (mmcblk0p1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.

I wonder how about another hardware of the same X250. Does anybody who has the same X250 can test this issue?

[Fuminori Ido (fuminori-ido)]

Let me add one more comment. I doubted My PC's hardware failure, but there was no problem. Why I can say that is because I booted Windows from the same PC and the SD card was recognized.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Fuminori Ido, could you please post to this report as separate attachments the following terminal commands:
1)
usb-devices

2)
lsusb -v

[Fuminori Ido (fuminori-ido)]

output of usb-devices(1)

[Fuminori Ido (fuminori-ido)]

Here lsusb -v output by normal user is. This command execution shows the following error message on the terminal:

  Couldn't open device, some information will be missing

[Fuminori Ido (fuminori-ido)]

Because lsusb output shows an error above, I did the same command with sudo(8)

[Fuminori Ido (fuminori-ido)]

Hi Christopher, thank you for your reply. I added the files above.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Fuminori Ido, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem to the appropriate mailing list (linux-mmc) by following the instructions verbatim at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel ?

Please provide a direct URL to your e-mail to the mailing list once you have made it so that it may be tracked via http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html . It can take a day for the new e-mail to show up in the respective archive.

Thank you for your understanding.
