[opensuse-support] how to activate an USB disc drive?
From a friend I got the use of a HP USB compact DVD disc rewrite drive. It is recognized without problem by his windows setup but at my Tumbleweed I see no activity. How can I start activating this USB device? -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20180627US Qt: 5.11.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.47.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.13.1 - kwin 5.13.1 kmail2 5.8.2 - akonadiserver 5.8.2 - Kernel: 4.17.2-1-default

Regardless which USB port you plug into? Does it have its own power supply, or require power from the USB port? Sometimes USB ports won't provide enough power for a mechanical external storage device.

It has an external power supply which I haven't yet used. Will try it out.

Hi, i recognized since about 3-6 weeks a long delay in my tumbleweed for recognizing any usb device. (up to 3 minutes) so maybe you have to wait longer? lsusb will show how/or if it is recognized do it first without pluged in, then with plugged in, and then check the difference. the ID gave you a nice search string for googel.... and maybe your user should be a member of the dealout group (i am not sure if necessary for usb, for some other ports its required) simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

A little late because I did not have the right transformer. But the external power supply did the trick. -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20180703 Qt: 5.11.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.47.0 - KDE Plasma: 5.13.2 - kwin 5.13.2 kmail2 5.8.2 - akonadiserver 5.8.2 - Kernel: 4.17.3-1-default -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
