Bug Description

I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 Alternate (i386) Alpha 6. Everything else works (sound, Vinagre, iTalc), but usb stick (flash drive) does not pop up on the Gnome desktop. Very same hardware works fine with Ubuntu 8.04.1 Alternate (i386).

There are files as attachment about dmesg- and ps ax -commands for both server and client.

Best Regards Asmo Koskinen.

its really specific on the distro since not all use hal and xorg 1.5 yet, so setting invalid for LTSP upstream

The attached patch fixes the problem at least for USB keys. (Sort of workaround it in fact)

Thank you,

usb stick works now. Here is a file as a attachment, client's chroot (dmesg and ps ax).

Best Regards Asmo Koskinen.

Looks like udev doesn't like DEVTYPE, it's complaining at boot time ...
I'll have a look at a better way to fix it next week but we for sure need a fix for Intrepid.
