Was there really no process during Gutsy (and Hardy nearly already) for these bugs?
Re-opening the sysvinit task: I'm not affected by it myself, but I wonder why we cannot just enable the magic to make it work by default, from /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh (code commented out by default): # # Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work # mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644 ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb Scott wrote: > Support for /proc/bus/usb has been dropped because it is racey, and > permissions are difficult to set -- > compared with /dev/bus/usb which is maintained by udev and doesn't have these > issues. It does not appear to be really frown to permission issues, because it links to the udev controlled interface. ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu Hardy) Importance: Undecided => High Status: Invalid => Triaged Target: None => ubuntu-8.04-beta -- Could not open /proc/bus/usb/devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156085 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
