Comment 118 for bug 156085

Ok, I am totally new to linux so I also am a novice when it comes to updating patches. I downloaded Ubuntu Desktop 9 and of course it won't recognize the USB Devices on my laptop. I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S5818 with Windows Vista (build 6). Ubuntu 9 is the guest OS on VMWare Workstation 7.0 (build 203739). I've tried to mount usbfs manually using

mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb

I've tried modifying /etc/fstab by adding the following code at the bottom:

usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto 0 0

The last thing I read was to modify the etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh and uncomment

mkdir -p /dev/bus/proc/usb/.usbfs
domount usbfs ""/dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
ln-s .usbfs/devices/dev/bus/usb/devices
mount --rbind/dev/bus/usb/proc/bus/usb
$ sudo /etc/etc/init.d/nountdevsubfs.sh.start

However, when I went to the /etc/init.d directory there was no mountdevsubfs.sh file so I created one and added the code above with no luck. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be sincerely appreciated...

Thanks!
