Thanks I tried the fix at the link above, but it made no difference. I am now starting to get error messages in the vmware.log file as follows:
Nov 07 16:07:34.801: vmx| USBGL: open /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-2/maxchild error 2 Nov 07 16:07:34.801: vmx| USBGL: open /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-2/devnum error 2 Nov 07 16:07:34.801: vmx| USBGL: open /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-2/idProduct error 2 Nov 07 16:07:34.801: vmx| USBGL: open /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-2/idVendor error 2 Nov 07 16:07:34.801: vmx| USBGL: open /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-2/speed error 2 every time I connect the Dell. However, these files do exist, e.g. $> cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-2/speed 12 I wonder if this may be a bug related to http://communities.vmware.com/message/711861 Although I don't get the same error it does occur with the upgrade to same kernel 2.6.22 -- USB PDA not detected since gutsy upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157279 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
