[Bug 225135] New: USB hotpugging does not work
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225135 Summary: USB hotpugging does not work Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: i386 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Hotplug AssignedTo: ihno@novell.com ReportedBy: novell@4fly.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Hello, I cannot get USB hotplugging to work. As desktop I use KDE. When I connect an USB storage device (USB stick) to the computer, it is not automounted by the system. I've tried this with several USB storage devices including: USB stick from CF Memory 1GB - no automount (/media/? not created) - /dev/sdf1 created - can be mounted by root (sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt/tmp) BenqSiemens mobile as USB storage - no automount (/media/? not created) - /dev/sdd1 created - can be mounted by root (sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/tmp Sony Ericsson mobile as USB storage - no automount (/media/? not created) - /dev/sd?1 not created - cannot be mounted as root - dmesg shows device connected but filesystem not recognized (filesystem is vfat!) Curious is that if I connect the USB stick before booting it is automounted, but when I click the USB_stick icon on the desktop I receive the error message device is already mounted. In other words I cannot access the files by using this icon. Using Konqueror I can open /media/USB_stick and read/write to the USB stick. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

The one I'm having trouble with is a Freecom Classic HD USB 2 with a fat32 partition. It worked fine up to Suse 9.3. (I'm not sure if used it under a 10.0 system) Under 10.1 it showed the following behavior: When plugged in the drive spun up, spun down, up again, and so on ... This phenomenon repeated a random number X times until it was correctly mounted. A typical X was between 3 and 20. Under 10.2: Same behavior but X -> infinity, which means it is never recognized by the system. The same drive works flawlessly with Kubuntu 6.06 and Windows XP on the same system and on other systems. I can confirm the system independency since I observed it (under Suse 10.1 and 10.2) on completely different machines as well.

You are right. Mine and probably Mattis problem is a different issue. I've been given a hint in a forum on how to solve this problem: There is the following parameter wich is by default set to "1": /sys/module/usb_storage/parameters/delay_use I've been adviced to increase this value. With my drive "10" seems to be an appropriate value: echo 10 > /sys/module/usb_storage/parameters/delay_use This parameter can also be set in /etc/modprobe.conf.local: options usb_storage delay_use=10 (I'm posting this here so Matti will receive a mail) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

There seems to be a _kind of_ race condition in HAL. The decrypting and mounting with the pam_mount script "/sbin/mount.crypt" triggers the race. HAL stops sending DBUS signals after this... The race can be triggered with the pam_mount script: mount -t crypt /dev/sda1 /mnt This calls cryptsetup and mount: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 _dev_sda1; # sleep 1 mount /dev/mapper/_dev_sda1 /mnt The sleep of one second between this two steps would avoid the race some how...

You may have to teach pam_mount to get out of the way of HAL and catch only very specific devices.

I think something a basic as this , I would say almost essential on a desktop system, these days will get more serious attention. A fix is needed to 10.2 . I think Suse needs to take stock of where things are going. After the 10.1/remaster fiasco which still came out with missing kinternet - another fundemental basic - now we have 10.2 without USB , 10.3 stil at beta. When did opensuse last have a fully working stable release? It appears that there is a head long rush to bring out newer releases without ever fixing a stable offering. Where can I voice such concerns about general direction?

USB is perfect working in 10.2 there is no fiasco with 10.2. HAL only does not work in some really special cases, which are not the default behavior. You should unserstand that we all work on more than one bug and do what we can to provide support and produce a great product. Such discussion is unfair, useless, doesn't change anything and ignore the reality. It also wrong that we bring out newer releases without fixing the already relased products. In this bug its simply fixed in Factory/10.3 (which is not released as a stable product atm!) because we updated HAL to a new version and as I said this is not easy to backport (because the new version is not only a small step with minor changes!), but we already determine/analyse if it is possible. Until we have a result stop this kind of discussion in bugzilla or provide a patch. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225135 ------- Comment #35 from suzer@piments.com 2007-03-22 14:16 MST ------- Please read what I posted. I refered to 10.1 as a fiasco not 10.2. You may not like the term but having to release a remastered version because of major breakage in yast/yum (IIRC) indicates things are getting pushed out of the door before they are finished. I suspect this is the fault of management putting unrealistic/rigid timescales on releases rather than being the fault of hard pushed devs. That is why I asked where I should raise these concerns. You did not reply. I dont see anything obscure about a usb stick failing to automount , it seems pretty basic to me. I wanted to install suse for a freind but it will be useless to him without USB. I stepped back to 10.1 but the FR translation was so flakey I had to reject that possibility as well (even during install there were paragraphs of mixed English and French the main interface was equally schizophrenic) . I'm now looking into other distros for him. I'm glad you were able to fix it for 10.3 but this bug was opened on 10.2 and I have exactly the same problem on 10.2 so if you dont have the time to backport you could at least post details as I requested. You try to fend off the critisism with the old "stop critisising or provide a patch" ploy but fail to provide the information you have found out about the bug and how you fixed it on 10.3 so you're not likely to get a patch. I summarise : please provide what you have on the bug and where can I raise my concerns about the quality of suse releases.

I dont see anything obscure about a usb stick failing to automount , it seems pretty basic to me. I wanted to install suse for a freind but it will be useless to him without USB.
You are only affected if you are making use of pam_mount and mounting an USB storage while login. This is not the case of the default "automount" way, which is done by HAL-mounter. So this is a really rare usecase, thats why this problem was not discovered in time. The only common (and non-trival) usecase where you got hit by this problem is: An encrypted partition on an USB storage device which got mounted by pam_mount during logging. Please correct me if i am wrong, but this is not a very basic task. Simple automounting of USB sticks is well tested and not affected. I am sorry about the inconvenience (and the delay of the reply). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225135 ------- Comment #38 from suzer@piments.com 2007-04-08 16:39 MST ------- many thanks for the reply and the clarification of the title of this bug. It seems I was somewhat mislead by the title into thinking there was more general breakage in USB automounting. As you will note from my earlier comments my confidence in suse has taken a dent for other recent errors like the missing kinternet and remastered issues. I have also noted very poor error trapping in the install process. One gets the impression that it is assumed all will go well and if a fault does occur there is no recovery path. This does need looking at IMHO, but that's an issue for another bug.

When I released 10.1, we had no critical open bugs against the update stack and therefore released. If there would have been critical bugs filed, we would have delayed again until those were fixed. Looking back I can only say that the test coverage for 10.1 was too low - and we're working on that. With openSUSE 10.3 Alpha3 you will be able to test the update stack even during installation ;-). In general feel free to contact me either privately or on the opensuse mailing lists about any openSUSE distribution concerns. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
