Error mounting /proc/bus/usb

[HDTimeshifter]

After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I get the following error whenever I reboot:

An error occurred while mounting /proc/bus/usb
Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.

Pressing M doesn't work and after pressing S, I get the same error with /proc/bus/usb replaced by 0. If I press S again, I am able to boot. Anybody know what's going on here?

I had the same problem but I managed to solve it. This is what I did:

1. open a terminal window from the menu: Applications > Accessories > Terminal

2. enter "sudo nano /etc/fstab" and enter your password when prompted.

3. add # in front of the line "none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=123,devmode=644 0 0"

4. press <Ctrl> + <X> to exit

5. press <Y> to confirm saving the changes

6. Leave the file name to write "fstab" and press <Enter>

Does commenting out the line to mount the USB deactivate your USB ports?

The only USB device I use is my SD memory card connector - I'll hook it up after the next time I reboot, but if you can test one of your USB ports in the meantime to see if you have any problems, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for the help.

All my USB ports are working fine. In fact this is just a minor error. Apparently this was added in Karmic to force USB support in VirtualBox but it is no longer needed.

Hi,

I get in the terminal: usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=14 0 0

There is no "none" to put the hash sign before. Could anyone say if I have to type none in as well.

Thanks for any replies.

I commented it out, but when I rebooted, still got the error.

After entering: sudo nano /etc/fstab in the terminal, I put the # sign in front of the line that appeared in it: # usbfs/proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=14 0 0, and I now no longer get this message on the screen when booting up:&quot;An error occurred while mounting /proc/bus/usb
Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery&quot;.
