New ticket created for hosted calibre environment

Hi,

I just created a ticket for this, but I'm wondering if any of you have seen this. A search revealed similar problems, but nothing that applied.

I am running calibre in a hosted Xen VM with Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 (at
Linode) and I am getting this on startup:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 251, in
initialize
File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 231, in
initialize_db
File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 200, in
initialize_db_stage2
File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 155, in
start_gui
File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/ui.py", line 133, in
initialize
File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 644,
in __init__
File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 114,
in __init__
File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/devices/scanner.py", line
149, in __init__
RuntimeError: DeviceScanner requires the /sys filesystem to work.

Any thoughts? I know these systems don't have USB hardware.
