Bernhard Reiter, as per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your BIOS is available (1.23). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags removed: needs-kernel-logs ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.23 ** Summary changed: - 197b:2381 JMicron internal card reader recognizes SD only when inserted at startup + 197b:2381 [Acer Aspire 5930] JMicron internal card reader recognizes SD only when inserted at startup -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258446 Title: 197b:2381 [Acer Aspire 5930] JMicron internal card reader recognizes SD only when inserted at startup Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My Acer Aspire 5930G has an internal 5-in-1 card reader. Testing with an SD card (no alternative media available), the reader is only listed by lspci if the SD card is present in the reader at boot time. Boot time dmesg attached. Now if an SD card was present at boot time, I can remove the SD, and dmesg will report [ 164.613053] mmc0: card db81 removed If I reinsert it, dmesg will say [ 179.271670] mmc0: new SD card at address db81 [ 179.276522] mmcblk0: mmc0:db81 SD512 500224KiB [ 179.276522] mmcblk0: p1 and gnome will display an SD drive icon on my desktop and ask if any files should be imported. But nothing of all that happens if the SD card was not already in the card reader at boot time! --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: bernie 1491 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: bernie 1491 F...m pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=4bd38682-1149-4117-8e58-bc8d174dd659 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-20 (194 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) MachineType: Acer Aspire 5930 Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 nouveaufb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=a23edec1-cabc-4c0b-bdeb-43a79387ed2e ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.13.0-24-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.13.0-24-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.127 Tags: trusty Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-04-20 (13 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 06/13/2008 dmi.bios.vendor: Phoenix Technologies LTD dmi.bios.version: V1.15 dmi.board.name: Eiger dmi.board.vendor: Acer dmi.board.version: Rev dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Acer dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnPhoenixTechnologiesLTD:bvrV1.15:bd06/13/2008:svnAcer:pnAspire5930:pvr0100:rvnAcer:rnEiger:rvrRev:cvnAcer:ct10:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: Aspire 5930 dmi.product.version: 0100 dmi.sys.vendor: Acer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/258446/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
