I do have the same issue with my mobile Sony Ericsson K750i - it should be detected as an usbstick, but it doesn't show up in ///:computer lshal shows my device perfectly and I can manually mount the device. If I enter the relevant line manually in /etc/fstab and save the file the device will show up in ///:computer I unplug the device, connect it again and the whole procedure starts again (adding manually the line in /etc/fstab, save, etc ...) With the larger sister mobile phone Sony Ericsson W800i it works perfectly fine out-of-the-box... FC4 AMD64 distro, kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4, hal-0.5.2-2.fc4.1
I don't know if it is the same issue but I cannot keep hald running. At this point, I cannot even get it to start. I just found this and I will have to check on two other computers that have had USB issues. Time to learn about hal.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
It works for me now perfectly fine with FC6
Fedora Core 4 is no longer maintained. Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you can reproduce this bug in the current Fedora release, please reopen this bug and assign it to the corresponding Fedora version.
