It appears:

lsusb: 

Bus 002 Device 035: ID 05e3:0710 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 2.0 33-in-1 Card Reader

But when I insert a mini SD card in the reader, nothing happens. How to solve this and read the card?

  • The same problem here, but in my case, my Bus 006 Device 003: ID 058f:6366 Alcor Micro Corp. Multi Flash Reader seems to be able to read ONLY SD Cards in the slot provided for both SD and Mini SD cards. I think it is a hardware limitation. I hope somebody drop a good answer. – Geppettvs D'Constanzo Feb 26 '13 at 01:14
  • post sudo fdisk -l. I don't want to discourage you, but have a look. Is the card reader working on Windows or Mac? – phipsalabim Feb 26 '13 at 01:14

It may seem obvious, but I have had card readers that worked intermittently. If the card reader is portable than try it in a different machine (verses one that is mounted in a 3 1/2 inch bay on the machine). Sometimes the mini card holder is not making a connection. Try to insert the mini USB in a different holder. If it is a multiple card reader with a USB dongle than try a different one, or a different USB port. Please let me know if that solves it and what kind of reader you have!

  • this card reader works perfectly in windows. Each type of card appears as a hard drive in windows. – Kaf Feb 26 '13 at 10:57
