Hello,
I'm having trouble getting the SD/XD/multi card reader on my Dell Inspiron E1705 to work correctly. I find it listed under lscpi:
03:01.1 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 19)
03:01.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 0a)
03:01.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 05)
But when I put a card into the drive, nothing happens. I can't see the card in the file manager and can't figure out how to get it to mount. I found this solution from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...064&p=11440361.
in terminal: gksu gedit /etc/modules
now enter this under the last line
sm_ftl
restart computer
But I hit a snag:
isaac@IBickLin:~$ gksu gedit /etc/modules
sh: gedit: not found
I have also tried "gksu edit /etc/modules" with the following result:
isaac@IBickLin:~$ gksu edit /etc/modules
Warning: unknown mime-type for "/etc/modules" -- using "application/octet-stream"
Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"
Does anyone have suggestions for how to get this fix to work for me, or some other way to fix the problem of the card reader not working? I'm pretty new to all things unix, so I would appreciate some detail in suggestions.
Thanks!
