@David Mitchell #7, Thank you for posting your work-around solution. That just helped me get a client's Western Digital 2.5" 500GB USB HDD to attach.
lsusb alone would not alert the computer to the drive's presence. Your step allowed lsusb to see the drive. I did notice that AFTER running your command, the "Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub" device disappears from the output of lsusb. -- USB HDD and Flash Drives no longer recognized https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/645211 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
