SD card doesn't mount automatically
Don't know what happened but now if I insert my SD card in the card reader of the laptop, nothing happen.
The notebook doesn't see any card.
It is working only if I insert the card and the start the pc.
I had this issue before but I don't remember what I did to fix it. I think there is some command to give or something like that.
Any suggestion?

Re: SD card doesn't mount automatically
Make sure this option is enabled.
There is an option in File Management Preferences to automatically mount removable media
when inserted. You can get to this by opening your home folder and click on Edit in the toolbar,
then Preferences. If using Cinnamon it is under the Behaviour Tab/Media Handling.
In Mate it is under the Media Tab

yes it is checked. the problem is that seems like the sd reader is not recognize by the system if you don't on the computer with the sd in.all41 wrote:Make sure this option is enabled.

Re: SD card doesn't mount automatically
I use this command/script in the terminal to mount the SD card on my old Dell Inspiron, this is perhaps what you were using before:
Code: Select all
sudo modprobe -r r852 ; sudo modprobe -r sdhci_pci ; sudo modprobe r852 ; sudo modprobe sdhci_pci

Re: SD card doesn't mount automatically
The symptom you describe is what I experience, on my old hardware at least, i.e. the SD card has to be in the slot before the laptop is started for it to be detected. Otherwise that little script works for me (the card has to be in the slot first before the script is run).
But yes, it's not a one-time fix, I have to run the command every time I want to mount the card (although, strangely, now and again it will still mount automatically!)
But this is on my 8 year old system, I've not had any detection problems with newer computers I've used. From my understanding the protocol or whatever for detecting these cards changed with the newer hardware, or something?

i don'0t know...I'm using my laptop that is a hp pavilion dv5-1030el, had this problem in the past, then fixed it a couple of times, without having to run the script.Hobbes2 wrote:The symptom you describe is what I experience, on my old hardware at least, i.e. the SD card has to be in the slot before the laptop is started for it to be detected.

then somehow sometimes , after some updates, I have to fix it again. But now I don't remember how.

Re: SD card doesn't mount automatically
I think I need to give a command to make the laptop loading the driver for the sd reader.
Its something like with the nvidia driver, every time that you change the kernel, you have to update it to load the nvidia driver...

Re: SD card doesn't mount automatically
Not at all sure I'm on the right track here, but; did you try rolling back to a previous kernel to see if the card still gets mounted there ok?
Do you mean the script did actually work on your system? If it did, those commands might give an indication where to look for the fault, at least.overkill22 wrote:

Re: SD card doesn't mount automatically
i didn't try the script because last time I didn't need to make a script to make the SD card read again...Hobbes2 wrote:Not at all sure I'm on the right track here, but; did you try rolling back to a previous kernel to see if the card still gets mounted there ok?

Re: SD card doesn't mount automatically
Guys,
Please check if your SD card was formatted using windows exfat.
If this is the case, just install mount.exfat-fuse
sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse
And SD will mount automatically.

Re: SD card doesn't mount automatically
I found this link very helpful:
The description of the process is clear, and just ahead of the section on automatically mounting a partition is the command:
which I inserted into the auto start list.
Now my Documents folder, which is written seldom but read often, is on a 16G SD card, freeing up a gigabyte of drive space in my poor little netbook.
Pogo
Code: Select all
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
Code: Select all
udisksctl mount --block-device /dev/disk/by-uuid/<uuid>
