USB on Ubuntu/Intrepid: Finally, the Ubuntu guys completely removed
these lines. So you have to manually add them again:
mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs usbfs
-obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
Has a bug been opened with Ubuntu about this? I would be so much nicer
if it just worked out of the box rather than having to back out changes
Ubuntu are making.
Additionally, the instructions in the FAQ don't really tell an Intrepid
user where to put those lines above in the mountdevsubfs.sh script.
Can this functionality not be added to one of the virtualbox initscripts
intead, for a more "it just works" feel?
