I can confirm this bug in Linux Mint 8, not sure whether that means it is present in Ubuntu 9.10.
I am running Mint 8 (main edition) on an IBM ThinkCentre 8142. When I plug in the device, it does not appear in Nautilus. When I run lsusb, I get the following output: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc. LX710 Cordless Desktop Laser Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Which does not include the flash disk. However after running lsusb, the device suddenly appears in Nautilus - the lsusb command appears to trigger recognition of the device. If I run lsusb a second time now, I get the following output: Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0ef5:2366 PointChips Flash Disk Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc.

This is an extremely frustrating bug, has anyone found a workaround for now? -- lsusb required to recognize sandisk media player as usb drive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242163 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
