then in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts, create a custom keybinding (Add). The command should point to /usr/local/bin/rescan, and set whatever key combination you like - I used the gears button on the top left of the keyboard, which produces 'super-L'
I have found a useful workaround in another Bug #703180
Put the following in rescan.c:
#include <stdio.h> fopen(" /sys/bus/ pci/rescan" ,"w"); outfile, "1\n"); outfile) ;
main(){
FILE *outfile;
outfile=
if (outfile != NULL){
fprintf(
fclose(
}
else printf("permission denied\n");
}
then compile with: bin/rescan bin/rescan
gcc rescan.c -o rescan
sudo cp rescan /usr/local/bin
sudo chown root /usr/local/
sudo chmod u+s /usr/local/
