I pulled the lot out and still the card reader icon did not appear
neither did a window open nor a message appear. There was a little red
light on the card reader which flashed for a while, stopped and then
started again.

I had a look at the sys log but it might just as well have been in
Martian or some other esoteric language. I am just an ignorant user not
an interpreter of Ubunterese and, as far as I am concerned, a piece of
kit works or it doesn't. This particular piece of kit works on one
computer but not on another, both are running the same operating system
and have a very similar specification. 

Now, will someone please hold my hand and show me the way to make things
happen the way I expect them to.
