My six year old laptop has become my primary machine over the last few months. I've always liked the DELL Inspiron 6400 but it's never been used as much as it should have been - until now!
Unsurprising then that I should only now realize that the integrated card reader doesn't work! I've been meaning to look into it for a couple of days and finally got round to it this evening: the fix took seconds!
Open a terminal and type:
sudo gedit /etc/modules
When Gedit opens, add the following code to the bottom of the file:
sm_ftl
Save and close the modules file and reboot. Inserting a SD card on restart resulted in a welcome media prompt.
I always like the easy fixes!
