SD Card reader not working on Acer Aspire One

[jlh68]

My rlight side SD card reader does not work either. I am using Ubuntu 10.04LTS. I did have it work with 9.04, but that was using GRUB and not GRUB2 like version 10.04LTS uses. I used the patch/fix to the GRUB conf file, but GRUB2 does not have the same file.

So how to get the right side SC card reader to9 work (agan)?

I had the same problem with the same card reader on my MSI A6200 laptop. After hours of trying to find a Linux driver I finally bought a cheap Linux USB card reader.

If you are reading thism chances are you have the same card reader.
try open a terminal and type lsusb and hit enter if you have device Oc2f:6250 then you have the same driver as me.
other distributions have the same problem - no driver.

this adds weight to the issue

It may take some time for s volunteer developer to write a driver.
In the mean time I suggest you buy a card reader or use your camera as an external drive with the card.

update the linux compatibility netbook page to add your model and problem

PFMJI, but I'd like to add that I too have this problem. The netbook in question is a Packard-Bell Dot SE. The "Packard-Bell" brand is now owned by Acer (found this via Google) and very often Packard-Bell netbooks are practically identical to an Acer Aspire Dxxx model. Just the brand sticker on the case is different. So this Packard-Bell Dot SE netbook also has this card reader device:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0cf2:6250 ENE Technology, Inc.

So I can't get this to work with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Does anyone know if it works with Maverick (Ubuntu 10.10) or are there any chances that it might be working with Ubuntu 11.04?

Hello guys,

Which of those devices do you figure out that may be the card reader?

Hello again,

Fortunatly I still have a partition with the original Windows XP that comes with the Netbook, and trying the card reader with that XP says that's also an ENE card reader...

No solution yet, though.

[misanthropist]

are there any chances that it might be working with Ubuntu 11.04?

Yes. Bug #530277

[ibrrfarr]

Acer Aspire One D255 the only SD card reader is on the right hand side. I cannot access the SD card either. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1666533 where I first brought it up for my issue as well.

In all candor, what needs to be done? I mean if I have 'X' dollars can I simply hire someone to code this up, so-to-speak, and then as I would 'own' the code contribute it here? I am serious on this question as the card reader is a NECESSITY for my line of work as I take thousands of photos in any given week.

Thanks to all!

Hi Ibrrfarr,

The first step to getting a problem fixed is to file a bug report on launchpad. This bug has already been filed (see my previous post for a link to the bug report) and a fix has been committed for version 11.4 which is scheduled for release in April.
Once the next version is released you should be able to download an unofficial kernel backport if you don't want to update to 11.4.

If you need it now and are happy hacking your system there is also an explanation on the bug report about how to build the necessary module yourself. Somebody might even be kind enough to build one for your particular release.

I made an account but really don't know what bug# or really what/how to track or report. Perhaps you could give me the # you are talking about or do I need to file a new one?

Would like to see the hack you speak of. Maybe I can do it; however, I would really appreciate it if someone could walk me through the process. I have skype so if it's easier that way, by all means PM me!

Found the Bug#.
