it used to work fine, but now...: the sd card reader..
I tried an external usb card reader, that still works
fine. (kubuntu 11.04)

If I stick my sd card in the built-in card reader,
nothing happens. I tried to mount manually:

root@samsungsucks:~# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /x
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

though I'm not shure if sdb is the right device.

dmesg output see below...
