karmic koala - cellular phone in usb mass storage mode is not recognized

[Christian Baedorf]

until 9.10 the phone (lg hb620t) has been properly recognized when attached to pc via usb cable in mass storage mode.
now it seems to hang, a new usb device is recognized but after "waiting for device to settle before scanning" nothing else happens. usb sticks / thumbdrives work.

i recently noticed some strange outputs when opening nautilus as root:
gnome mount and hal are obviously involved, bit i thought hal was substituted by udev?!

root@chris-desktop1:/home/chris# nautilus

until now i tested other external storage devices. harddisks/solid state disk in external housings or plain with ide to usb adaptor, usb stick (thumbdrive) and external cd/dvd rom. even an external usb floppy. everything works fine and is recognized, but the phone still doesnt work.

i tried a samsung star today. if you set it to "mass storage mode" and have inserted a memory card, everything works fine. but not the lg hb620t, it still doesn't work properly via usb. bluetooth is ok in both cases, just to mention.

the workaround stated here works for me, too:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/477031

Comment out in /lib/udev/rules.d/61-option-modem-modeswitch.rules this line:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="05c6", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1000", RUN+="modem-modeswitch -v 0x%s{idVendor} -p 0x%s{idProduct} -t option-zerocd"

so this may be closed. :)
