Hey Group; What has SuSE 9.0 done to destroy all of my USB devices from working? Type "/etc/init.d/sane start" and all that shows up is my TV/FM card as /dev/video0. /dev/video0 always shows up at bootup as changing permissions. However, never do my usb scanner or Palm device. Has anyone gotten all of their USB devices to work? Try the following
lsusb <enter> Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0830:0070 Palm, Inc. <-I hit hotsync to get this to work. Bus 001 Device 002: ID 03f0:0401 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 5200c
"hwinfo --usb" find my usb scannner and usb Palm device but xsane (from the CD) and jpilot can't find either device under SuSE 9.0. Both scanner and Palm device did work under 8.2. It is beginning to look like Slackware or Debian or in order. Ther seems to be to many gotcha in SuSE 9.0. SuSE did fix the 8.2 GCC 3.# issue Also so far SuSE's Support has been nothing but a waste of time. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org " http://counter.li.org " #279316

Has anyone gotten all of their USB devices to work?
Donn, You're not gonna wanna hear this, but all my USB goodies -- printer, hot-sync cradle, 750 meg zip drive, mouse, and digital camera -- worked right out of the box when I replaced my Red Hat installation with SuSE 9.0. My Jpilot works on ttyUSB1 as its device... I suspect this is of little help, other than to say keep at it, bcause 9.0 and USB do get along with one another...

Lots of complaints but no real request for help.... Ok, bye.

It's funny I am hearing a lot of complaints about Mandrake 9.2 also...Remember this is a new edition of a distro and not all of the bugs could be fixed before its release..maybe it is time for the major distros to take a longer time to release a new version and open up beta testing to more people so that the bugs can be found and fixed by a broader group of people.

Not much, I should think. It seems unlikely that they had a planning meeting devoted to the destruction of your USB setup. It's more likely that something is misconfigured.

Yes, they all work fine with the default install.

Thanks to all that offered suggestions! I fixed the xsane usbscanner problem. It was the permissions in /etc/usb set on the usbscanner#s needed to be "chmod 666". However usb Palm device still fails with jpilot. I guess it is thought of as a real serious security issue that someone on the net or a system user could use the scanner. However, it was ok to use the scanner as root. Oh yes! isn't working as root known as dangerous?. Go figure! Another case of "Permission" as a user headaches! -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org " http://counter.li.org " #279316

I believe when you select xsane on installation, there is a note to the effect that it can only be used as root. And they regret that situation and hope that it might be fixed in the future. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

On these issues? No surprise. Why don't you ask them something that is covered by the scope of the free service (or pay for "Advanced Support")? Scanner und palm problems are not covered by the free service. Greetings from Bremen hartmut

Greetings from Bremen hartmut Hi,
How about the paid-for support that comes from the purchase of the boxed release? PeterB -- -- Proud to use SuSE Linux, since 5.2 Loving using SuSE Linux 8.2 MyBlog http://vancampen.org/blog/ Nothing is as perfect as a Cultured Diamond There was never any Blood on a Cultured Diamond --

I think we are talking about the same thing. You may want to call it "free" installation support (eith the quotation marks). Of course it's not free as such but paid for by all users of the box. But it's free in the sense that it comes at no *extra* cost (as opposed to the Advanced Support). http://www.suse.de/en/private/support/inst_support/ http://www.suse.de/en/private/support/inst_support/advanced.html Selling the box for less than 100 USD/Euro, we have no other chance but to limit the scope of the "free" service.
