GiD doesn't detect the USB memory stick |
When oppening the "Help -> Register GiD ...", if some USB memory stick is plugged, a "Sysinfo selection" window must be opened to ask the user which device can be registered.
in some Linux distributions (e.g. Suse 10.x) the USB device is not detected, and this "Sysinfo selection" is not opened.
This is because /proc/bus/usb is not automatically mounted, it can be manually mounted (as root user) with
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
Note: It's possible to automatize it adding to the /etc/fstab file something like this:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
