I have a desktop computer running Ubuntu 9.04 which I am setting up to use mainly to process digital photographic images. My plan is to use a card reader rather than having to take the camera to the computer each time I want to download the photographs. However, most of the time, the computer refuses to recognise the card reader when it is plugged in to the USB socket. Very occasionally, sometimes after several minutes, up pops the icon showing the reader has been seen.
There are several items connected to the computer, via a powered USB hub, all of which are recognised but not the card reader. I tried plugging the reader into another socket on the computer just in case the hub was the problem but that made no difference. I know the reader and the card are in good condition because they have been tested and found to work on another computer also running Ubuntu 9.04. I suppose it is possible that one or other of the items plugged into the hub may be the cause of the problem but I wondered if anyone could be kind enough to comment.
