Don't read SD card on Asus X205T

Hi, guys!

As a title suggests I have hard time with SD card on Asus X205T. I can see device with lsblk, but it can't be mounted and read, it doesn't read filesystem and stuff.

1) It is not hardware issue because SD card worked on this same laptop with Windows earlier this week.
2) It is not SD card issue because I tried several SD cards and they all work on other PC.
3) This fix from wiki.debian.org didn't work out: wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/X205TA#microSD_Card_Reader
4) When I lunch GParted the error stricks: Input/output error during read on /dev/mmcblk2.

Here is lsblk output.

NAME         MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk2      179:0    0   58G  0 disk
mmcblk1      179:256  0 29.1G  0 disk
├─mmcblk1p1  179:257  0  512M  0 part /boot/efi
├─mmcblk1p2  179:258  0 27.7G  0 part /
└─mmcblk1p3  179:259  0  976M  0 part [SWAP]
mmcblk1boot0 179:512  0    4M  1 disk
mmcblk1boot1 179:768  0    4M  1 disk

I'm running out of ideas. Please, help!

Re: Don't read SD card on Asus X205T

One of the possible reasons and solution, from here http://compizomania.blogspot.com/2013/03/ubuntu_28.html

Quote:
"But there are times when on the same machine Windows sees the card reader, but Ubuntu does not. This is because Ubuntu does not turn on the card reader at boot time.

What to do in this case?

To fix this, follow these steps:

Open the grub file for editing with the following command in a terminal:

sudo gedit / etc / default / grub

Find the following line in it:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = "quiet splash"

And replace it with the following:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = "quiet splash pciehp.pciehp_force = 1"

Save the file and close the editor, and then update GRUB with the command in the terminal:

sudo update-grub

Restart your computer and the card reader will activate.

That's all.

Good luck.

And the file system should be fat32 not exfat, at least.

Re: Don't read SD card on Asus X205T

aluma, thank you, it was a worthy try, but it didn't work out - changed nothing.

P.S. SD card is ext4, but I tried FAT32 as well.

Output udisksctl info -b /dev/mmcblk2:
