Public bug reported:
Certain USB storage devices do not work under Ubuntu 9.04. I have all of
the latest updates installed as of May 15, 2009 4:11 PM including the
proposed updates and unsupported updates. Among these devices are:
Samsung Flipshot when set to "copy to/from card"
The built-in multi-card reader in the Dell XPS 700. (this is an internal
card reader but it still uses USB)
Other card readers, mobile phones, and other devices are likely affected
as well.
With the Samsung Flipshot, if i go to the terminal and type 'lsusb',
lsusb hangs until I unplug the phone. When the phone is unplugged it
will display the connected USB devices as normal, minus the phone. This
phone works under older versions of Ubuntu, as well as Windows Vista. If
the phone is plugged in while the computer is booting, the boot will
hang while loading bluetooth until the phone is unplugged. I have no
bluetooth adapter connected to the computer (although the phone may be
trying to act as one). With the multi-card reader, four devices labeled
"USB Drive" show up under Computer in the file manager. The links to the
device nodes for the four slots on the reader show up in /dev/disk/by-
id, and the corresponding device nodes show up in /dev, but they are not
accessible. I get a message like "/dev/something is not a valid block
device". Often broken multi-card readers are caused by lack of multiple
SCSI LUN support in the kernel (the kernel's USB stack uses SCSI),
although I'm not sure if this is the cause here.
My lsusb (without the phone connected of course) is:
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0644:0200 TEAC Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 2040:6513 Hauppauge
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f9:001d Brother Industries, Ltd
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c216 Logitech, Inc. Dual Action Gamepad
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0461:4d15 Primax Electronics, Ltd
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
I think the "Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0644:0200 TEAC Corp." is the multi-card
reader.
The names of the device node links in /dev/disk/by-id are:
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-TEAC_USB_HS-CF_Card_00000209B76E-0:0
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-TEAC_USB_HS-MS_Card_00000209B76E-0:2
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-TEAC_USB_HS-SD_Card_00000209B76E-0:3
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-TEAC_USB_HS-xD_SM_00000209B76E-0:1
I have not tested any of these other than the SD card.
