Rather than importing into Shotwell try using the Ubuntu file manager
(nautilus) to copy a couple of dozen pictures from the SD card to a
folder on disk.  If that also fails then it is not a Shotwell specific
problem.  In the past I have had similar problems with SD card
readers.  In my case the problem was worked around by plugging the
camera into PC and then Shotwell worked perfectly.
