Yeah, I hear you there. Any suggestions (from anyone) on how to manually stop and start the usb subsystem? I found these commands but have had only limited success: sudo rmmod usb-uhci ehci-hcd hid sudo modprobe usb-uhci hid I believe it's supposed to unload the module for USB and then reload it in the second command. I still had to reboot to connect a USB mouse to my laptop this morning. :( Thanks much! -m David L Moss wrote:

Hey,
Any resolutions to this issue? I have this problem with all my USB devices--camera, palm pilot, usb keychain drive, usb mouse. I have resorted to rebooting with the device plugged in on start up for it to work with virtually any degree of success.
And I agree, I get a beep or other indication the computer knows the device is plugged in. It seems as it's SUSE that takes it's time to decide to use the new device........
Thanks much!
This is another case of something in Suse linux 9.0 that worked for awhile, quit working and nothing I do fixes it. I have compact flash readers, usb thumb drives, and external hard drives that worked for a while then stopped never to work again. My mouse, keyboard, palm pilot and Jpilot are the only usb devices that conistantly work although sometimes with a lot of research and time to get the right modules to load. My external card readers are paperwieghts now.
Hotplugging seems to be a work in progress that will not consistantly perform.

I've noticed that even though the camera doesn't appear right away on the desktop, it's still active. I use digikam with my camera. I plug it in, wait for the beep, turn it on, start Digikam, then connect to the camera...taking about 5 seconds. As soon as digikam picks up the camera and connects, I get the icon on my desktop.
Where is that beep coming from? Not the camera, I assume, since you said the camera isn't yet turned on. And is there a significant delay for Digikam (which I use also) to pick up the camera?
I've tried doing what you did. Plug in the camera, turn it on and wait for the icon to appear. Took quite a long time. To me it doesn't matter since I use digikam all the time.
Would you conclude that having Digikam running speeds up the response time, then?
Thanks for the info though. Also, I don't have any fstab entries for the camera either.
How does the camera show up on your desktop? Depending on whether I have an fstab entry, it shows up either as "sdb1" or "camera".
