VB won't detect my laptop SD card reader. I recall it used to be visible as a USB device under Settings > USB. Now it's not. What can I do to fix this? Notably the reader works fine under the linux host system.

Install the extension pack. Add a USB filter.

Could it be that the extension pack uninstalled during Linux update process?

Many things are possible.

It did not help. Only fingerprint sensor is available under USB. Also if I connect my pendrive it is visible there immediately, even if inserted while the settings window of VirtualBox is already opened. It's just the SD card reader.

Do you actually have an sdcard in the sdcard reader?

mpack wrote:Do you actually have an sdcard in the sdcard reader?

Yes, I do. I even tried adding the filter while having the sd card contents actually displayed in the file manager. I've also tried with two different SD cards.

Reading back... can you please clarify that this is a USB device? Your first post is rather tentative on this point, and the grep output shows mention of CardBus and direct SD Host Controller - but nothing about USB mass storage.

VirtualBox certainly can't access it directly if it isn't USB. However if it's visible to the host as a hard disk then accessing the disk as a shared folder should be possible.

OK, I think what happened is that I confused my built-in card reader with my other, USB card reader. I'm sorry

No problem, at least it got cleared up.
