Christopher,

As I have changed from Ubuntu to Manjaro I am not any longer interested in
solving this bug.

Please ask other participants to do some testing for you.

Thanks for you help up to now!

Best regards,

Thomas

> Callahan, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any

> /daily-live/current/ .
>
> If it remains an issue, could you please just make a comment to this?
>
> If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel
> available (not the daily folder) following
> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional
> upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream
> kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If
> this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
> kernel-fixed-upstream
> kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
>
> where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For
> example:
> kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5
>
> This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon
> next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As
> well, please remove the tag:
> needs-upstream-testing
>
> If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following
> tags:
> kernel-bug-exists-upstream
> kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER
>
> As well, please remove the tag:
> needs-upstream-testing
>
> Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
> Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your

> Title:
>   Internal SD card reader is not working on Dell XPS L501X
>
> Status in The Linux Kernel:
>   Confirmed
> Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
>   Incomplete
>
> Bug description:
>   Inserting a sd card into the internal card reader is not recognized by
>   the system. Same problem occurs with older ubuntu versions (driver
>   missing?)
>
>   WORKAROUND: Put the following in rescan.c:
>   #include <stdio.h>
>   main(){
>     FILE *outfile;
>     outfile=fopen("/sys/bus/pci/rescan","w");
>     if (outfile != NULL){
>       fprintf(outfile,"1\n");
>       fclose(outfile);
>     }
>     else printf("permission denied\n");
>   }
>
>   then compile with:
>   gcc rescan.c -o rescan
>   sudo cp rescan /usr/local/bin
>   sudo chown root /usr/local/bin/rescan
>   sudo chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/rescan
>
>   then in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts, create a custom
>   keybinding (Add). The command should point to /usr/local/bin/rescan .
