Package uploaded, waiting for SRU processing by Steve or Colin. ** Description changed:
My Sony Walkman NWZ-S618F (a USB mass storage device) worked fine in Gutsy. Under fully updated Hardy as of Mar 30, 2008, the walkman will no longer mount. No UI notification of failure. dmesg is attached. Let me know if there's other information I can provide. Expected: Device mounts as a USB mass storage device What Happened: Nothing. (Device started charging itself as if connected). Lots of notices (attached) on dmesg. + + SRU justification: Many large storage devices are not properly handled + by hardy's desktop stack (automounting, gparted, etc.). As these become + increasingly popular, this becomes more and more of a problem. + + The fix for this was applied upstream half a year ago, and in Ubuntu + Intrepid 10 months ago. It was confirmed to fix the problem without + introducing regressions. The fix was also confirmed to fix the problem + in Hardy by manually applying the patch. + + Hardy patch: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-core-dev/hal/hardy/revision/237 + Upstream patch: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/hal/commit/?id=f7d7779d0fd2438479c9de4b8dd76f986941f0a4 ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu Hardy) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- 2.6.24 reports invalid storage size in /sys [Sony Walkman NWZ-S618F doesn't mount in Hardy] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
