The very first line returned by the first test led to the solution: I had an old 42-madfuload.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d that overrode the new one in /lib/udev/rules.d. Deleted it, now it works! Sorry for wasting your time by being so stupid.
There is a slight problem remaining, however. The Transit works only once, if I want to use it again after unplugging it I have to reboot: 1. Boot system 2. Plug in Transit: works 3. Unplug Transit 4. Plug in Transit (no matter which USB port): does not work 5. Reboot system 6. Plug in Transit: works -- madfuload doesn't work on Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330573 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
