Emmet. I just realised you seem to be suggest it worked with the patch (for KVM on Hardy wasn't it?) but the patch simply replaces /proc/bus/usb/ with /dev/bus/usb/ but there is no 'devices' file link there *unless* the uncommented magic in /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh (or equivalent) has created a usbfs and linked /dev/bus/usb/devices into it.
I've tested the KVM Gutsy patch here. Without mounting the usbfs (using my new mountdevusbfs.sh script) I get: $ ls -a /dev/bus/usb . .. 001 002 003 004 005 info usbhost Could not open /dev/bus/usb/devices But once the usbfs is mounted and the 'devices' link created, it works: $ sudo /etc/init.d/mountdevusbfs.sh start $ ls -a /dev/bus/usb . .. 001 002 003 004 005 devices .usbfs info usbhost Device 5.4, speed 480 Mb/s Class 00: USB device 0781:5151, Cruzer Micro Device 5.3, speed 480 Mb/s Class ef: USB device 05ca:1836 Device 3.3, speed 12 Mb/s Class e0: USB device 044e:300d, UGX Is it possible the Hardy init is creating the usbfs and linking devices, or is there some confusion here? ** Attachment added: "Proposed /etc/init.d/mountdevusbfs.sh" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10380330/mountdevusbfs.sh -- Could not open /proc/bus/usb/devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156085 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
