Description Jef Spaleta 2006-08-21 23:58:54 UTC
Description of problem:
Hal on my up2date fc5 system is not correctly detecting my LG branded usb flash
drive, while other usb flash drives are detected

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. insert my LG flash drive
2. udev creates the appropriate sdX and sdX1 entries for the device and I can
mount the device as root with an explicit mount command on the cmdline
3. hal fails to correctly notice its a usb-storage device and does not inform
the gnome-desktop that this device is mountable, nor can I use gnome-mount on
the command line.

Expected results:
I should get an icon for my LG branded usb storage in the Computer window and it
should be user mountable like my memorex branded flash drive.

Additional info:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi

It's been a long time since I had to troubleshoot a hal hiccup so I've forgotten
how to coax more information out of hal. Please give me explicit system commands
to run to better determine where the failure is, I haven't had to troubleshoot
this sort of problem in the gnome-mount era of hal operation.

Closing, works on F7 now running 2.6.23.1-4.fc7 kernel
