It appears that the same problem has occurred with earlier versions of the 64bit OS. I am told that in later versions of kernel /proc/bus/usb will not be available. However, a workaround of sorts for this has been already found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/507824
The solution is as follows; It is not a long term solution, but I found another solution, for getting /proc/bus/usb back again and no need for usbfs. First I put my user to sudoers for /bin/mount and /bin/umount Then I changed my scanner script to do the magic. Before running my scanner the script will do: sudo mount --bind /dev/bus /proc/bus while on exit of the script it fires the command: sudo umount -l /proc/bus mount --bind /dev/bus /proc/bus or mount --bind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb will make /proc/bus/usb accessible /proc/bus/usb for some hardware (although this will cause the other directories under /proc/bus to be hidden). So you should umount again, after use. It is a reasonable workaroud and worked fine for me. Just should make sure to unmount after using the device otherwise /proc/bus/pci and /proc/bus/input etc gets hidden! -- /proc/bus/usb gone missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541580 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
