Thread: USB file transfer from Topfield stopped working after 9.04 --> 9.10


hi all,
have been using old amilo li2727 laptop , puppy topfield 5100. did not work out-from-the-box 9.04, first got these errors:

error: can not perform autodetection.
error: /proc/bus/usb/devices can not open reading

editing /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh , adding these lines @ end of file did trick in 9.04:

code:
#      # magic make /proc/bus/usb work      #      mkdir -p /dev/bus/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
after upgrading 9.10 square one, , again getting same errors got 9.04 before editing mentioned file.

did not take long me notice mountdevsubfs.sh gone, instead there file called:

mountdevsubfs.sh.dpkg-old
, guess not used anymore , stuff have been moved place/file?

what? need do/edit ubuntu work again topfield? wlan stopped working, nice going ...

...stunned silence. no advice has come.

there thread same dead end here.

get

code:
> puppy -c dir  error: can not perform autodetection.  error: /proc/bus/usb/devices can not open reading.  error: no such file or directory
i wonder whether problem puppy 3 years out of date , needs recompiling against current apis. or trying access /proc/bus/usb/devices , that's obsolete location long since removed - don't know i'm merely guessing.
