I have an issue with my recent Ubuntu. Actually I have all drivers (USB, WiFi, etc ) working fine however when I insert the SD I can't detect it.

Also I find the following error kernel log: 

[  242.936702] mmc0: error -5 whilst initialising SD card
[  244.856671] mmc0: error -5 whilst initialising SD card
[  245.756789] mmc0: error -5 whilst initialising SD card

[  248.577135] mmc0: error -5 whilst initialising SD card
[  249.480884] mmc0: error -5 whilst initialising SD card

Below some useful details about my pc:

  • At kernel 4.15.0-45-generic I get error -110, not -5, and the upvoted workaround from gconcon doesn't help. :/

There is a kernel compatibility issue with some sd cards (mainly SDHC or SDXC).

A workaround is below, but the IO speed is about 10x lower :(

Write a file called /etc/modprobe.d/sdcard.conf with this content:

options sdhci debug_quirks2=0x2

Let's remove and probe some modules:

 sudo rmmod sdhci_acpi sdhci_pci sdhci
 sudo modprobe sdhci; sudo modprobe sdhci_acpi; sudo modprobe sdhci_pci

After this, your SD card must be shown at notification bar.

To save all this configurations, run:

 sudo update-initramfs -u

  • use 0x4000 instead of 0x2, this will probably be faster.

  • This didn't help for me at kernel 4.15.0-45-generic. Do you have a source on what debug_quirks2 is, and what the magic 0x2 value is?

Try this:

sudo apt install --reinstall udisks2

then reboot the Linux.

I had similar problem when using SDXC 128GB in Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.04. I 'd tried couple times to reinstall but the problem could not be solved. I inspected the format used, it was exfat. Then I reformatted using NTSF, and it is working now. May be you can try my experience.

I had this same problem in 19.04. The recent kernel bump from 5.0.0-13 to -31 (apt update && apt upgrade) fixed it.
