Hello fellow Tumbleweed users.
I noticed a strange phenmenon with charging my Sony phone on this Tumbleweed workstation - it does not charge in multi-user.target, or VT, or display-manager. It only charges after I have logged into desktop. Does anyone know how to alter the behaviour so that Linux will allow it to charge as long as the system is powered up?
Thanks.

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht Ende----- This is not only a problem of Tumbleweed but of all installations and does AFAIK more depend on the BIOS setting.
Two solutions come to my mind: a) you set the "usb-legacy" support to "on" in the BIOS. That should power up USB even if the desktop is not logged in. b) you use a dedicated usb plug (some of the machines have a special plug that charges even if no OS has been started up). Maybe that has also to do with PAM as the Sony will probably charge when recognized as a usb-key or token. For security reasons it is possible that the PAM setting does not allow to mount such devices (mass storage) but only after the authorized user logged in. However I do not know sufficiently about PAM to tell with certainty. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.
