[SATLUG] Re: cannot access sd card Kubuntu

[Todd W. Bucy]

Hey all,

Need help guys.  (Please forgive me I am a noob)  I have been trying to access 
my sd card reader on my Toshiba laptop and I cannot find out how to access it 
and download my photos.  My distro is Kubuntu fiesty.  I have googled this 
problem to hell and back to no avail.  Here is the output from dmesg | tail

as you can see the card is recognized but I have absolutely no idea how to 
access the card itself.  I know that I am probably missing something but I 
have no idea what it might be.

thanks in advance for any assistance
