I've updated the description as I have now narrowed it further. If I insert a CD into the system first (/dev/sr0 for example) it shows up correctly in device notifier and is mountable via that. Next, I insert any USB stick into one of the available USB ports and HAL correctly enumerates the devices.
In fact, if I use a Memorex U3 Smart USB which creates a fake CD device in addition to the USB media, this works. So it seems that (at least on this Acer 6930) HAL is unable to enumerate the devices correctly unless there is at least one device on /dev/srX, which seems odd. I have tried both the 32 and 64 bit images on this system and various live images including one from yesterday, along with a current up to date 64 bit system. In each case this problem exists. -- hal does not properly enumerate USB devices unless CD-ROM inserted as first device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438316 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
