THank you for your help. This is the result: mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb mount: mount point /proc/bus/usb does not exist mkdir /proc/bus/usb mkdir: cannot create directory `/proc/bus/usb': No such file or directory And supposed I tried a directory that exist: mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus mount: unknown filesystem type 'usbdevfs' The exact mirror (before the problem start I mirrored the system) is still working today, and I have not find any difference between the two version so far.

This steps helped me when I had same problem in SUSE9.
The Reason is "/proc/bus/usb/ doesn't has any entry where actually lsusb searches to show USB BUS devices.To make that happen you have to manually . Mount the Bus devices using below command.
mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb/
And you are done. Now lsusb should show all USB BUS devies.
Thanks Ashish Bunkar

I entered "lsusb" at the command line (as root) and nothing is return, not even any error message.
Doing a strace the last few lines are:
open("/dev/bus/usb", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/proc/bus/usb", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
What happened?
This is Ubuntu 10.04 (it used NOT to be like that, not sure I what did wrong last time). But running a VirtualBox INSIDE this same OS, I was able to get result from "lsusb" (after enabling the USB devices in VirtualBox interface) and strace gives result:
open("/dev/bus/usb/001/002", O_RDWR) = 3 ioctl(3, USBDEVFS_IOCTL, 0xbff6f75c) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) close(3) = 0 open("/dev/bus/usb/001/001", O_RDWR) = 3
Why the difference?
