Bug Description

If I start up the computer with no SD card in the reader, it will not recognise SD cards inserted.

WORKAROUND: If you start up the computer with an SD card inserted, all is good.

WORKAROUND: The following rescan will find the SD card.

sudo su -l
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan

Christopher,
Thanks for the response. I'm not in a position to restart my computer at the moment, but I'll try installing the latest upstream kernel in the next few days. I followed your instructions in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/995743/comments/5 and I've attached the output.

Hi Christopher, I've now tested the latest upstream kernel at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5-rc4-quantal/ .

I'm not 100% sure if I did it right, so please tell me if it's okay. I installed the image and image-extra files, but not the headers. I thought I wouldn't need the headers as AFAIK I'm not "build[ing] any external modules". However, on installation of the two debs, I was told "Error! Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 3.5.0-030500rc4-generic cannot be found." Also, when I restarted using the new kernel, I got a whole bunch of AppArmor errors.

In any case (assuming I tested it correctly) this kernel did not solve my issues. I had to execute the workaround again.

Sorry, perhaps I was a little unclear. In the end, I installed the two header files after installing the image and image-extra files. So as per the instructions in the page you linked, I installed all *four* files. i.e. "the common headers, architecture specific headers, and the architecture specific image" and "a linux-image-extras package".
I've checked my Ubuntu system monitor, and it says "Kernel Linux 3.5.0-030500rc4-generic", so I presume it's okay now?

Sparhawk, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions verbatim at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about the status. Thanks in advance.

The rationale for this is from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#A3._Make_sure_the_bug_hasn.27t_already_been_reported .

>"...but given that both bugs have been identified in the upstream kernel, is it proper to link the existing bug at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43041 ?"

The fact both bugs are identified in the upstream kernel is weak correlation at best, not causation. We definitely have stronger correlation to similar vendor ID, similar model line, mfg. etc. However, it is exactly that. Despite this, hardware differences exist and it would be prudent to report a seperate report and let a developer make that call.

>"(Also, I don't totally understand the rationale in creating another bug report in launchpad, where it seems (to me) reasonably probable that they are duplicates."

Please see above link. As well, on 2012-06-26 I already tagged this report with "likely-dup" due to what we just discussed. Again, I'm letting a developer make that call.

>"N.B. Someone else asked the same question here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/703180/comments/53 , but you must have missed it.)"

Please do not presume I missed something because someone else does not understand the bug triaging process. It's up to my discretion to field every possible question fired at me due to ignorance of the bug triage process. If you have any further questions about the bug triage process, please take this to another forum (ex. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+addquestion ), as this report should remain focused on the technical details of this report.

None of that seems to have worked. I tried ed_qta's suggestion in comment #23 first. Then, I reverted that and tried the instructions from comment 61 linked here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/258446/comments/61
Upon rebooting each time, neither showed the SD card as mounting when I inserted it. Just to check, is the script in the link (at /etc/modprobe.d/aspire-fix-sd-slots.conf ) specific to the author's computer? Also, when I copy-pasted, the script consisted of two lines. Firefox shows it as three for me, but when copy-pasting, the line break between "done;" and "/sbin/modprobe" disappeared. I figure that was just launchpad inserting in a confusing word-wrap.

Also, my BIOS is up to date.

Same issue for me, on Ubuntu Precise (12.04) and was already the same with Ubuntu Maverick.

Surprinsingly, when I boot with an SD card already in the slot, Ubuntu sees the SD card. If I remove it, then get it again in the slot, it works. In short, if there was an SD card at boot time, it's OK, otherwise, it is not.

May be a workaround for some people: I gave a label to the SD Card (from Windows XP), then it works in Ubuntu. Don't know why, seems the lack of a label is an issue for the SD Card to be automatically recognized and mounted. I got the idea of the label from another place, but forget the link, sorry for not giving it.

Sparkhawk, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (v3.8-rc1-raring) 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-v3.8-rc1

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:

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream

As well, please remove the tag:

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:

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 understanding.

I don't fully understand the bug reporting in Ubuntu, but it seems to me that Ubuntu/Christopher require testing of every new kernel for this bug to remain valid, even if a fix has not been applied upstream. I guess there is the possibility that some random change of code has unintentionally fixed this bug.

I can't really commit to re-checking and restarting so frequently, especially since there are possible duplicates of this bug in Launchpad anyway. I expect that if this bug were targeted on the basis of one of these putatively duplicate reports, my bug would also be fixed. (Also, there is a workaround for my personal use anyway.) In addition, it seems that upstream aren't currently targeting the bug anyway, based on the bug I filed there. Also, if I understand correctly, then testing the bug to make it valid for Ubuntu/Christopher doesn't have any effect on its validity upstream.

Hi Sparhawk,

It seems that you are correct. I also don't have the time to keep testing each combination of kernel/bios update to see if it's working. It just feels a bit weird to wait for random change to fix this instead of trying to track it down and fix it. If the problem is upstream and Ubuntu is not going to do anything about it, then they could at least put the link for the upstream bug report so the person affected by this bug can track the progress there.

Could you please post the link for your upstream bug report?

Cheers
