HowTo: Read Your SD card with your UBUNTU

"Ubuntu doesn't detect SD Card automatically, Here’s how to get it working, so that it will auto mount any SD card inserted into the slot."

Imp: Make sure your is detected, Get the details on Card Reader.
$ lspci | grep Card

Do the following things.

1. Backup the file /etc/modules

sudo cp /etc/modules /etc/modules.bak

2. Add one line to /etc/modules

gksu gedit /etc/modules

or

sudo vi /etc/modules

3.Tag this on to the end of the file in a new line:

tifm_sd

When you restart, you’re card reader will be functional. You’ll see that when you slap an SD card into the reader, it will auto-mount.
But wait, don’t want to have to restart your machine? Go back to the terminal you impatient person and type:

sudo modprobe tifm_sd

That should do the trick.
