Comment 8 for bug 1004131

Ok redoing the test. Turns out this can be run on a virtual machine (e.g. virtualbox), just make sure to "connect" a USB stick to the virtual machine.

With checkbox 0.13.7:

$ exitESC^H^Hdpkg --list checkbox{,-cli}
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii checkbox 0.13.7 System testing application
ii checkbox-cli 0.13.7 Command line interface for checkbox

The storage-preinserted test fails:

a: USB tests
 : Space when finished

Please choose (a/ ): a

USB tests

   usb/insert [pass]
   usb/storage-preinserted [failESC]
 : Space when finished

Please choose ( ):

The submission.xml report shows the cause for the failure, as expected:

<question name="usb/storage-preinserted">
<answer type="multiple_choice">fail</answer>
<comment>mount: only root can do that

With checkbox 0.13.9:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii checkbox 0.13.9 System testing application
ii checkbox-cli 0.13.9 Command line interface for checkbox

the test reports as passed from the CLI:

a: USB tests
 : Space when finished

Please choose (a/ ): a

USB tests

   usb/insert [pass]
   usb/storage-preinserted [pass]
 : Space when finished

Please choose ( ):

And the submission.xml shows the pass with details about the testing on the USB stick:

I'll set this as verification done.
