["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Callahan, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please just make a comment to this?

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Internal SD card reader is not working on Dell XPS L501X

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Inserting a sd card into the internal card reader is not recognized by
  the system. Same problem occurs with older ubuntu versions (driver
  missing?)

  WORKAROUND: Put the following in rescan.c:
  #include <stdio.h>
  main(){
    FILE *outfile;
    outfile=fopen("/sys/bus/pci/rescan","w");
    if (outfile != NULL){
      fprintf(outfile,"1\n");
      fclose(outfile);
    }
    else printf("permission denied\n");
  }

  then compile with:
  gcc rescan.c -o rescan
  sudo cp rescan /usr/local/bin
  sudo chown root /usr/local/bin/rescan
  sudo chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/rescan

  then in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts, create a custom
  keybinding (Add). The command should point to /usr/local/bin/rescan .
