I am having trouble mounting my micro-sd card reader in Kubuntu 22.04 (fully updated) on my laptop the specs of which can be seen at :-
https://icecat.biz/en/p/toshiba/pskfle-04n008en/satellite-notebooks-satellite+l870-18v-17404646.html
As this is the only system that I can access that has an SD card reader, I cannot verify that the problem definitely lies with either the onboard card reader or with the micro-sd card/adapter combo.
When I (hard) boot the system I get three instances of :-
[Failed] Failed to mount /mnt/usb-Generic_Multi-Card_20090516388200000-0:0
lsusb shows the following :-

I have read through "https://askubuntu.com/questions/95391/how-do-i-mount-an-sd-card" and still cannot access the card reader.
Performing the "ls -la /dev/sd*", as suggested by @Huckle, results in the following :-
kub@kub-SATELLITE-L870-18V:~$ ls -la /dev/sd*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Mar 17 11:19 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Mar 17 11:19 /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 10 Mar 17 11:19 /dev/sda10
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Mar 17 11:19 /dev/sda2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 5 Mar 17 11:19 /dev/sda5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 6 Mar 17 11:19 /dev/sda6
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 7 Mar 17 11:19 /dev/sda7
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 8 Mar 17 11:19 /dev/sda8
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 9 Mar 17 11:19 /dev/sda9
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Mar 17 11:38 /dev/sdb
Performing the above command both before and after inserting the micro-sd card adapter (with sd card onboard) into the slot resulted in zero change to the output shown above.
I implemented the edit to /etc/modules as shown at "https://goinggnu.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/read-your-sd-card-with-your-ubuntu-laptop/" and linked to/suggested by @Jorge M. Treviño. No luck.
I also have implemented the edit to /etc/modules as suggested by @Yamaneko and shown at :- https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1878064&p=11440361 Sadly, this did not help, not even after a hard reboot.
Is there something else that I could try, maybe something blindingly obvious to you guys that has not occurred to me ?
