Description of problem: The mobile phone Nokia N95 no longer appears as an icon in the "Computer" view of nautilus on my i386 when connected via USB cable but it works on my AMD 64-bit Asus laptop. The first difference in hal-device-manager is the key usb_device.configuration (value: "Buld transfer method configuration") which is not present on the i386. The next is, that next in the hierarchy of "SCSI Device" (which has a value of "unknown" for the key "scsi.type") comes "SCSI Generic Interface". Whereas on the AMD Laptop "SCSI Device" shows a value of "disk" for key "scsi.device" and the entry "N95" follows the entry of "SCSI Device" and the next is an entry with the name of the microSD card from the phone. The output in /var/log/messages is the same on both computers: Jul 26 11:13:30 rock kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6 Jul 26 11:13:30 rock kernel: usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Jul 26 11:13:30 rock kernel: scsi11 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Jul 26 11:13:35 rock kernel: scsi 11:0:0:0: Direct-Access Nokia N95 1.0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 Jul 26 11:13:35 rock kernel: sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] 1000215 512-byte hardware sectors (512 MB) Jul 26 11:13:35 rock kernel: sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off Jul 26 11:13:35 rock kernel: sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through Jul 26 11:13:35 rock kernel: sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] 1000215 512-byte hardware sectors (512 MB) Jul 26 11:13:35 rock kernel: sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off Jul 26 11:13:35 rock kernel: sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through Jul 26 11:13:35 rock kernel: sdc: unknown partition table Jul 26 11:13:35 rock kernel: sd 11:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk Jul 26 11:13:35 rock kernel: sd 11:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-libs-0.5.9-8.fc7 hal-gnome-0.5.9-8.fc7 hal-0.5.9-8.fc7 hal-info-20070516-2.fc7 nautilus-2.18.3-1.fc7 udev-106-4.1.fc7 How reproducible: every time the phone is plugged in via USB cable. Steps to Reproduce: 1.plug in phone via USB cable 2. 3. Actual results: no icon in "Comptuer" view of nautilus Expected results: icon "N95" in "Computer" view of nautilus Additional info: Problem only appears on my i386 computer since a few days ago, but not on my ASUS 64-bit AMD laptrop with the same software and versions installed.
This bug is not fixed with the latest kernel 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 (bug #249211). "Normal" USB devices (like a USB memory stick) always worked and work perfectly.
Sounds like another case of bug 249282. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 249282 ***
