Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: wine
I have package wine-1.0.1-0ubuntu2 installed on my Ubuntu 8.10 (AMD64)
box.
Wine is failing to detect USB hot plug events. For example running
winefile, and then plugging in a USB drive, winefile does not detect the
new USB drive (although GNOME does, and the USB drive is mounted
correctly, and I can navigate to it through Nautilus).
I believe this is a problem with the way the wine package has been built
rather than with wine itself (I understand that wine does normally
support this functionality). I suspect the problem is that wine has been
built without HAL support. Wine's mountmgr uses HAL to detect hardware
device changes.
Running the following command:
WINEDEBUG=+mountmgr wine winefile >mountmgr.log 2>&1
produces the attached log. In particular the following line is of
interest:
trace:mountmgr:initialize_hal Skipping, HAL support not compiled in
Without HAL wine's hot plugging functionality is disabled. The wine
packages need to be built with the libhal-dev files present prior to
running ./configure
