New ticket created for hosted calibre environment

[astrodad]

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

File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/devices/scanner.py", line

RuntimeError: DeviceScanner requires the /sys filesystem to work.

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