I think it IS a bug after all. I have the same hardware and it happens to me on 9.10 and 2.6.31-22 (yes, I know it is not up to date, but still).
Interestingly enough, it depends on the USB slot I connect the reader to. Very consistently it reports "write protect is on" for one slot and "write protect is off" for another slot with the same SD card (I don't even remove it). Apparently one of the USB slots is connected to a hub, but it does not have to work this way. -- sd card detected as read only https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228941 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
