sd card displayed on desktop with usbstick icon

[Chris Mayo]

gnome-device-manager shows card recognised as:

storage.drive_type = sd_mmc

I would expect a memory card icon to be displayed.

This is on Karmic desktop i386

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

1. Insert an SD Card (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_Card) into a built-in or external USB card reader
2. Expect icon shown on desktop to be of a memory card
3. Icon actually shown on desktop is of a USB Stick

Hello
Is this problem present with the latest updated Karmic's, Lucid's or Maverick's packages?
Thanks in advance
Fabio

Yes. But it's different now (with udisks) and hardware specific. I posted a patch to fix the hardware I have upstream:
