Further to my comment of two days ago, I have since noted that, in these conditions, udevd does not recognize the addition of a hot-pluggable device to the system. The case in point is powering on a Plextor PX- 716UF DVD writer which is connected through a USB connection.
Not even restarting udevd will convince it to recognize the Plextor. A full system reboot does, however, allow me to see and to use the drive. -- udevd causes high cpu-usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130818 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
