Card reader not working

Hi guys! My card reader stopped working completely. If I insert a card in it doesn't get detected.

This is my output of lsusb:

[root@alex alex]# lsusb

I tried other answers from different forums:

It appears that the computer recognizes the card reader but doesn't read and mount the card. The card works because is the one I use on my photo. Also the adapter works because is the one I use with my Rpi.

Any idea? Thanks!

Re: Card reader not working

Remove the card, insert the card, then post the last couple dozen lines of the output of dmesg

Re: Card reader not working

I have a sneaky feeling you have a kernel / module version mismatch
Please check the output of uname -a and of pacman -Qi linux and ensure that the version numbers are the same.
Any chance you have updated your kernel without having rebooted?

Re: Card reader not working

Hmm I don't know about yesterday. Although today I updated the kernel and rebooted and now it works. Thanks a lot for your time!
