I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my HP Envy m7-j020dx. The only problem I am currently having is that the internal SD card reader does not seem to be detected at all. I have tried to find a solution using Google, but there was little to find on how to solve this problem, and the solutions I've tried did not work. There is no external problem because everything works fine in Windows 8.
Fun fact: SD card is detected on the 14.04 Live CD, but not otherwise.
With and without the SD card in, df -h
gives me the following result:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 154G 35G 112G 24% /
none 4,0K 0 4,0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup

/dev/sda2 256M 102M 155M 40% /boot/efi

What didn't work:
- Rebooting with the SD card in the reader
sudo modprobe rts5139
sudo modprobe rts5229
(FATAL: Module not found)- this
- this which left me fixing my partition types for the next 4 hours
- anything front page google discussing this topic

Output is the same with and without the card in. GParted shows this, and/dev/sda
is the only device i.imgur.com/preT5gE.jpg/dev/sdb
and/dev/sdc
. I would assume that one of those is the DVD drive and the other is probably your SD card reader.sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
will give you information about each drive.
