Description of problem: I have 6 USB devices # find /dev/bus/usb/ -type c | wc -l 6 HAL on the other hand thinks I have 94 usb devices # lshal | grep /dev/bus/usb | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq | wc -l 94 It has records of devices I've already unplugged info.product = 'Plantronics Headset' (string) linux.device_file = '/dev/bus/usb/002/003' (string) info.product = 'Nomad MuVo NX' (string) linux.device_file = '/dev/bus/usb/002/002' (string) And many many many copies of devices built into the laptop info.product = 'Fingerprint Reader' (string) linux.device_file = '/dev/bus/usb/005/010' (string) info.product = 'Fingerprint Reader' (string) linux.device_file = '/dev/bus/usb/005/009' (string) info.product = 'Fingerprint Reader' (string) linux.device_file = '/dev/bus/usb/005/008' (string) As a potentially relevant side-note, this laptop has been hibernated & suspended many times without reboot. Perhaps HAL doesn't clear out missing devices properly when it resuming ? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.5.10-1.fc8 How reproducible: Unsure. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run 'lshal' and look for any USB device paths listed which no longer exist 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Created attachment 291678 [details] lshal output
Created attachment 291717 [details] lshal output after another hibernate cycle This is the output after I've done another hibernate cycle - one more cloned USB device is added to the list
Does this only happen around suspend/hibernate cycles?
After more testing, I can confirm it happens even on merely plugging & unplugging a USB device while running. I plugged in a USB wifi NIC, and it added 5 devices - 3 USB related devices, and 2 net related devices. When I unplugged it again, 1 of the USB related devices still remains.
I'll look into it...
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
