[GiDlist] professional version - usb - linux

Hi,

I actually use GiD 8.1.5b on Linux (Linux linux-q6xm 2.6.18.8-0.5-default #1
SMP). When GiD is launched it is unable to identify a usb port or something
else and thus, unable to be used as a professional version.

After selecting the Register GiD from the help menu, GiD gives the warning
message:

Couldn’t find /proc/bus/usb/devices:
No such file or directory.

If it is not present, please as root try:
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
and start GiD again with the usb memory key
connected.
If it works, consider adding following line
to your ‘/etc/fstab’ file:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0

This way it is automatically mounted every
time the machine is started.

Then I close GiD and type the command: mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
After, everything is OK.

The problem is that the line “usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0” is
already in the fstab file. What can I do to make my usb port detected at the
beginning.

Thanks a lot,
Daniel Marceau

If this device is not mounted with the line of the ‘etc/fstab’ then starting your system,
can you try to simply add
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
to the script that starts GiD, to be mounted before run GiD.
