I was mystified by this problem because as far as I was aware I had not done anything that could have changed the setup here (10.1 with KDE). It was working, then it wasn't :-(( So I persevered, exploring the possibilities of a problem with connections. The problem then became intermittent. I have two USB cables, one end of each which fits the camera or the card reader. One of those cables has a clip-on ferrite bead at the end that has the smaller of the two plugs. I re-booted with the ferrite beaded cable plugged directly into the motherboard at the back of the PC. Plugged in the camera - magic :-) Plugged in the card reader - magic :-) Both auto sensing, no problem. I guess the cables are not too well shielded and that maybe the ferrite bead at the camera end prevents any stray capacitances from getting onto the motherboard. I like to use the card reader as a small file transporter between the Windows box (upon which I'm still slightly dependant) and the Linux box. My dependency upon Windoze is because I still can't get the printer to print landscape from Linux, and when I print photographs it's the other way round !!! I remember reading that Anne had some trouble with temperamental USB connections - so maybe it's worth giving ferrite beads a try. -- Charles
