Z370 card reader in Linux

Hi,
I wanted to ask if anybody got the card reader built into the Z370 to work with Linux. I use Ubuntu 10.10, and it does not work.
"dmesg" before and after iserting a card only shows this:
[ 1288.178827] usb 1-1.3: USB disconnect, address 4
[ 1288.414684] usb 1-1.3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5

If you need more info, just let me know! :-)
I think the best way to fix this would be if Lenovo provided a driver on their own ;-)
Thanks in advance,

I was able to get the card reader working using the file located here:
http://ubuntuone.com/p/153B/
The original thread that I got this from can be found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1797202&page=2
I use Fedora on my Z370 and installing that file worked like a charm! You will have to reinstall it every time you upgrade your kernel though.

SD-card reader in LINUX?

Why is it that I cannot get the SD-card reader to work in linux?
It would be very useful for backups etc...
Is it possible that a generic toshiba driver for this one could be developed?

>Of course they wouldn't. But some specs about the SD card reader would be nice for all linux developers!
This would be nice, yes. For know i connect my DigiCam via USB with my Qosmio. But this is only the second best because it is slow.
But next time i'm looking for a new laptop my decision would be based on how good linux will run on a laptop.
I wrote this with the hope some Toshiba-Guys are reading it :)

Searching for SD-Card-Reader of M30x for Linux (Debian)

Hi all,
googeling I didn't find a way to get my sd-card working under linux. As far as I understood there are no drivers.
Well, Microsoft not being an alternative in my case I really need a work around short of switching notebooks and external card readers.
Can anybody piont me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
Niko

Hello Niko
I dont know which Satellite notebook model you have but, as far as I know, mostly units have driver for multicard reader. Unfortunately Linux is by Toshiba not supported and because of that it will be very difficult to find something there.
Check please Linux section on this forum and you will find some interesting Linux links. Maybe you will find something interesting there.

How do i redeem itunes gift card online using linux

I have bought my daughter a gift card but there appears to be no way to redeem this for her without installing itunes. Next problem is that I would never install such software even if it worked in linux. So where can I redeem it online for her using a browser only.

You can call her on the phone, walk her through how to get into iTunes to hit "Redeem", then read the number out to her. If you were intending to have it as a surprise that just showed up without her having to do anything, that can't be done without iTunes OR another iOS device you could log into the account from (which would also require her username and password).
If, due to extenuating circumstances you can't contact her directly OR have the login details OR have some other way to get the redeem code to her, then I'm not certain you'll be able to use the card.

[SOLVED]Laptop Internal SD card reader no longer working

Two weeks ago I purchased a Raspberry Pi and set up my own SD card with Arch Linux ARM using the directions at http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi with the internal SD card reader on my laptop and had no issues. Today I decided to load up a XBMC distro to a new SD card, but my internal card reader doesn't seem to autodetect or mount my new card. I tried inserting my other card with Arch ARM that I know is a good card, but it no longer works with that card either. Here are all my logs that I could think of to post for any advice:

It seems I have all the necessary information, but I am not sure where to go from here. It's obvious my laptop is detecting the card being inserted and removed, but the card reader is never listed in /dev so I can't mount it. It's listed under lspci but not under lsusb. I'm assuming that it was two weeks ago and that's why it worked, but I'm not sure how to get lsusb to detect it so it will work again. Thanks for any help you guys have.

SOLVED: 1030NR - SD Card Reader launches Found New Hardware Wizard when media is inserted

I purchased the HP Mini 1000 1030NR a few days ago and have been very happy with it so far. Last night I attempted to use the integrated SD card reader to view some photos from my digital cameras SD card. When I inserted the card into the drive, Windows did its normal hardware initializations. It should have detected and installed the SD Card Reader automatically, but instead I was presented with the "Found New Hardware" wizard. Every attempt to install the driver automatically via the Wizard failed. Every SD card I tried in the reader produced the same results.
After spending 2 and a half hours online with HP support, their eventual resolution was to do a full System Restore. As owners of the HP Mini 1000 will know, this process is made difficult due to the units lack of a DVD-ROM drive. Furthermore, the problem here is clearly a missing driver. Doing a System Restore as suggested would be like swatting at a fly with a cinderblock. It may resolve the problem, but there is a much more straightforward way.
The problem is that due to the nature of the XP installation on the 1030NR,(scaled down for performance/size reasons), the linkage between recognized hardware and the internal Windows driver respository has been broken, at least as far as USB devices are concerned. I found this out after the same HP support technician suggested I uninstall all of my USB Root Hubs from Device Manager and reboot. Those never came back either. Fortunately I had created an XP restore point beforehand and quickly got my USB ports back. Of course, my SD card reader still didn't work.
The solution is to restore that linkage between recognized hardware and the internal Windows driver repository so that the operating system can "find" the USB drivers and in turn, install the necessary software components for the SD card reader. Instructions for doing this are as follows:
1. Insert an SD card into the SD card reader. The "Found New Hardware" Wizard will appear.
2. Check the radio button to not allow Windows Update to search for software. Click Next.
3. Check the radio button to "Install from a list or specific Location (Advanced). Click Next.
4. Check the radio button to "Search For the Best Driver In These Locations. Then click the checkbox "Include this location in the search."
5. Click the Browse button and navigate to "C:\Windows\inf" If you cannot navigate to this folder you may type it in the box manually. Click Next.
6. Follow the remaining on-screen prompts to complete the software driver installation. You may receive an error code at the end indicating that the device could not start. Disregard this for now. Once driver installation has been completed, reboot the computer.
7. Once the system is back up, the "Found New Hardware" wizard will probably reappear. If it doesn't, make sure the SD Card Reader has a card inserted in it. Cancel the Found New Hardware wizard and click Start - Control Panel - System - Hardware tab - Device Manager and look for entries with either an exclamation point or a question mark. You'll probably see the SD Card Reader with an exclamation point and an "Unknown Device" with a question mark.
8. For the SD card reader, right click on it and select "Update Driver..." from the list of options. Follow steps 2 through 6 above to complete installation. At the end, the card reader should be functional (you can see it in Windows Explorer, etc.) but you'll still have an "Unknown Device" in Device Manager.
9. To resolve the "Unknown Device", once again go to Device Manager, right click on the Unknown Device entry, click Update Driver and follow steps 2 through 6 above.
10. One final reboot and the SD card reader should be functional and no ? or ! warnings/errors should be present in Device Manager.
The reason for this issue in the first place is most certainly due to the way Windows XP is configured on the HP Mini 1000. Although this solution works for the 1030NR, it should also work for models in the same family that contain the 2-in-1 SD card reader. HP really needs to provide an official fix for this issue, preferably a "patch" that re-establishes the linkage between recognized hardware devices and the internal Windows XP driver repository. Their official support suggestion of doing a complete System Restore to solve the problem is impractical, heavy handed, and may in fact not solve the issue.
It took me nearly 5 hours total to resolve this problem. I hope this post saves somebody both time and trouble.

C:\Windows is the default folder for the Windows XP installation on the 1030nr. Unless changed during installation, all PC's (not just mini's) that have XP installed will have this folder present. As for the inf folder specifically, this is hidden from view in Windows Explorer unless you tick the option to "Show Hidden Files and Folders" from Tools - Folder Options - View tab.
Still, you shouldn't need to "see" this folder for the above instructions to work. When running the "Found New Hardware" wizard, you can just type the path in manually at the appropriate spot. If you truly do not have a C:\Windows\inf folder, then it sounds like something is wrong with your Windows installation and a full System Recovery may be the best option. It might be a good idea to contact HP support first before donig that though.
Does your Mini run Windows? If not, unfortunately the instructions I laid out above will not help you. I believe the "other" Mini's run some HP customized version of Ubuntu Linux. For that OS, you'll need to obtain a driver specifically for it to get the card reader working. Try the HP site for a download for the SD card reader or contact support.

Is it possible to boot from the card reader?

With some linux versions out there, you can use liveCD to create a USB linux boot drive to 'dual' boot into linux without touching the internal harddrive.
The cardreader would be perfect for this as I have some 4 and 8 Gb SC cards, but using F12 at startup, there is never an option to use the card reader device to boot. Looked in the BIOS, but could not see an option to enable this.
Does anyone know of a way around this?
Thanks.
Waste.

No one responded to your post, strange. When I want to test , lets say, a Compact Flash that has WIndows 98 bootup files on it, and a usb config.sys driver, as the CF slot is from a 7 in 1 FDD and card reader, and I first disable any hard drive in my computer from boot order, etc, so that the bios will be forced to simply search. If there is the possibility of your system to boot up here, it will find the OS and use it. It will tell you if it can or not at this point. Every bios is different in what it will or will not use in the boot order or allow for a bootup device. And I have also read about same thing as you read in re to Live CD. Sorry I have not learned that method as yet. I could never get anything but older OS to boot up off USB thumbdrives, and the like, and hacking the new OS usb load up process is not someting I care to master. If you find a way to do what you desire, please let others know how it went.

SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC/MS/MS Pro card-reader slot not showing up in windows explorer.

I have a Lenovo IdeaCentre, purchased only four weeks ago. It product family is IdeaCentre k410, machine type 10089. Anyhow, the problem is: I inserted a microSD / microSDHC, both of which seem to fit into the slot fine, though neither registers under anywhere in windows explorer, neither in the root of C://, nor in any of the subdirectories, or on the main listing of mounted file systems. I used the Lenovo Driver Updater and re-installed the SD Card Reader driver, to no avail. Any help would greatly be appreciated. As well, the computer runs Windows 8, which has some features I'm unhappy with, and although this is not a windows forum and I don't mean to create a thread that deviates from lenovo-specific topics, I was wondering if there is anything in either the machine architecture or the software of Windows 8 that could hinder m in installing a dual-boot system so that I might have the option of running a variant of linux as a sub-operating system, as I did with windows XP.????? OK any help at all would be so greatly appreciated, thank in advance. I really want to be able to retrieve some writing files I have stored in that micro SDHC card. As another aside, does anyone know the max limit of RAM this computer can take and if it is DDR or some other type?

hi BrokenHalo,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Regarding your questions:
1. When you inserted the SD card, do you hear a sound that a device is inserted and under Device Manger, do you see a Card Reader?
If not, try to:
a. boot intto the BIOS by pressing F1, load defaults by pressing F9 then press F10 to save and exit BIOS.
b. Reseat the front panel connectors (see page 23 of the hardware maintenance manual)
2. To install linux (i.e. Ubuntu), see if you can install Ubuntu via UEFI. If you're unable to do so or if you want to install other OS, try to:
a. Boot into the BIOS by pressing F2 and set the following settings below
UEFI Boot Mode = Legacy
Secure Boot = Disabled (if applicable)
CSM = Disabled / Legacy or Other OS (if applicable)
OS Optimized Default = Disabled or Legacy (if applicable)
b. When finished, press F10 to save and exit BIOS then try to install Ubuntu via Wubi or insert your Windows installation disc to install a different OS.
3. As per this pdf data sheet, the Lenovo K410 has a max RAM of 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 but Crucial reports that this unit can take up to 16GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 - check this site.
Hope this helps

[solved] SD card in my card reader does not appear as a device

Greetings.
I have an Asus EEE 1015PEM netbook, which has a built-in card reader.
I found some old SD cards that I am trying to get files from. When I insert them into the SD card reader in my netbook, the SD card does not appear as a device, and thus, I cannot mount it.

Come to think of it, I am not sure I ever tried my SD card reader since I installed Arch on the machine (the machine was running Ubuntu before that, and there, inserting an SD card would trigger some automount magic).
You guys know what I can do to access the files on my SD cards?
Cheers,
Willard.

What kind of driver do I need to use for HP Elitebook 8440p RICOH Smart Card Reader?

I'm using Arch linux x86_64 and need to install Smart Card Reader, but I can't find any drivers for it.
Best regards,
Taavi

What operating system is it? Are you sure you put the card in the correct way? [not trying to be mean here]

Memory Card Reader problems

I have seen this problem for a long time on Arch. This was occuring when I used an external SCSI memory card reader, and now I notice the same thing with my new linux box which has an internal 15-in-1 card reader connect to the USB card. It goes like this ...
When I insert the card, my KDE desktop fails to notice it. When I open a terminal and run dmesg, nothing relevant shows up. When I attempt to mount the device, I'm told it doesn't exist. After some passage of time, it will still fail, unless I do a fdisk on that device to see if fdisk sees it. Sometimes it takes a few fdisks to find it, but eventually it seems to find it. At that point I can mount the device. But one thing that has been true in the past as well as the present ... I must issue a fdisk command for that device (and then exit fdisk) before Arch Linux ever sees the device. This has been true since 0.6x Arch, and now true of 0.72 Arch, on two different boxes and with two different card readers.

i had this prob ages ago. was even convinced it was some physical slots that were broke, (rear slots worked fronts didnt )or one particular cardreader (gtech 21-in-1) as it glitched under windows too.
at some point tho, in Arch anyways, the problem went away, and i think now it was more to do with modules and confs and it got solved more by tinkering than knowing what was what definitively. we live and learn

RTS5229 PCI Express Card Reader=Unassigned class [ff00] dv6t-7000

Hello everyone. I am having issues with the built-in card reader in my HP dv6t-7000. I know that this kind of question has been asked before, but I am unable to find a solution. I am new to Arch, but have used almost ALL other distros. Arch is the first Linux on my laptop. Now down to the details.

The card reader class is Unassigned. Why? I followed this thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=206464 and installed the realtek driver with no sucess. dmesg shows no changes. The card reader is basically ignored.
according to lsmod the module is active.

What should I do?

Inbuilt speakers, microphone & SD card reader slot is not working from day one

Dear friend
I bought my HP mini (model no. Hp Mini 110-3009TU; Sr. No. CNC02139GY) on 14th august 2010 from Home Comforts, MP Nagar Bhaopl, Madhya Pradesh, India. I bought it without any operating system and installed Linux [Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)] on it. I'd like to inform you that it has two problems form day one.
First problem is with inbuilt speakers & microphone, which are not functioning. However my headphone are working with this laptop. So I believe there is no problem with sound related driver. I think it is a hardware problem.
Second problem is in SD card reader slot, which doesn't read inserted SD card.
I've gone to HP service centre situated in MP Nagar, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Experts over there said that they'll have to formate existing operating system (Linux) and need to install Windows to 'check' whether the said hardware(speakers, microphone & SD card reader) are working or not. Otherwise I've to bring one more laptop so same brand and same model, then only they can check by replacing parts.
Both the options they'd given were ridiculous! I didn't understood why they are forcing me to install Windows?
If HP is also selling laptops without any operating system, then it means the costumer is free to install any operating system of his/her choice. And why should I bring one more laptop? Doesn't your service centre equipped with proper instruments and expertise to check hardware of a laptop?
Pretty girls working in your service centre were totally unaware of card reader – how does it functions?
Even they didn't had any SD card to insert and check.
One among them told me in soft voice: “Sir, you'll have to purchase one 'Jack' for this.” When I inquired further what is 'Jack' and why should I have to purchase it when all other laptops doesn't need such jack? She gone mute as my inbuilt speakers.
Even if I do allow your service centre to install Windows to try out whether speakers, microphone and card reader is working or not, its sure 'experts' at your service centre will install pirated version of Windows. Is it not a malpractice? Does HP allow its service centre to do so??
And further, even if I ignore your malfunctioning for my benefit, could your service centre assure me that inbuilt speakers, microphone and card reader will function properly in Linux as well. Because I would like to continue using Linux.
I request you to look into the matter and tell me what to do.

Anyone know how much it typically costs to replace the card reader hardware? Mine isn't reading, however I reason to believe the hardware was damaged.

How can we interface external usb camera or usb device(storage, card reader) to Ipad 2.What all things are need(any development Kit apart from IOS sdk)

Hi,
Before going any further in my research, I want to know the views and opinions about the intent of my work I am about to start.
AIM : I am trying to interface an external uvc camera with the ipad 2 and iphone .Just like in android there is a node(in unix and linux everythign is a file)which gets created in the /dev/ directory which can be accesses by the application using the native interfaces (JNI) and finally via the android code.I am trying to develop the similair application for the ipad 2 and iphone.
Can some one plz point out :
(1) How I can interface external hardware like ( external uvc camera) or any other USB device(a card reader, a storage device, a barometer etc)
(2) I have googled about Apple's Authentication chip which can be used to interface the external h/w.Can some one point out how useful it is.Is this related to that somehow.
(3)What are the things similair to JNI, node, /dev/ in the IOS for Ipad 2 and Iphone.
I will be highly obliged ,if some one could provide me the top pointers on it.
Thanks and Rgds,

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.
