[opensuse] USB Pen Drive Failure
Hello! I have several Corsair USB Pen Drives. Voyager GT and Survivor types. There are no problems with my two Voyager GT's. These are 8 Gb. But I also have two Survivor's. These are 16 Gb, I do not know whether that is the problem, but they will not show up in Konqueror (or Dolphin which I have also tried). My Voyager GT's come up and read as well as write fine - no problems. The .hal-mtab file is written to and informs about what is attached. My Survivors do not work. They are detected by the system, but will not show up under "media." Also, the .hal-mtab file remains empty. Here is the dmesg outputs for the Survivor and the Voyager GT, respectively: ---- The Survivor: usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi8 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb 5-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1b1c, idProduct=0a31 usb 5-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 5-1: Product: UFD usb 5-1: Manufacturer: Corsair usb 5-1: SerialNumber: 7b63a6b7d9f04a usb-storage: device found at 6 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning scsi 8:0:0:0: Direct-Access Corsair UFD 0.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] 31588352 512-byte hardware sectors: (16.1GB/15.0GiB) sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 00 00 00 00 sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] 31588352 512-byte hardware sectors: (16.1GB/15.0GiB) sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 00 00 00 00 sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through sdc: sdc1 sd 8:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete ---- ---- The Voyager GT: usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi9 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb 5-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1b1c, idProduct=1a90 usb 5-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 5-1: Product: Voyager GT usb 5-1: Manufacturer: Corsair usb 5-1: SerialNumber: AA44636009013688 usb-storage: device found at 7 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access Corsair VoyagerGT 1100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] 16187392 512-byte hardware sectors: (8.28GB/7.71GiB) sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 43 00 00 00 sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] 16187392 512-byte hardware sectors: (8.28GB/7.71GiB) sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 43 00 00 00 sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through sdc: sdc1 sd 9:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete ---- Per Inge Oestmoen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You manually mount them with mount /dev/sdc1 /media/some_mount_point_that_you_create
I know I can manually mount them. That is however impracticable, since I intend to use these devices all the time. Thus, I want to know why I should have to manually mount them, whereas my Voyager GT's automount just fine.

I too have a couple of these SanDisk which stopped working under linux but under XP automount and work fine. -- Clive. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/c.rogers/ Fighting for darker skies.

Likewise. I mentioned in another thread the problems I'm having, and they are similar. I see from /var/log/messages that the kernel sees the 'event' of plugging in the USB (and PCMCIA) devices, but they don't automatically mount. I have an entry in /etc/fstab: usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 that seems to _allow_ them to be mounted. But it doesn't happen automatically. I'm running KDE and have the Device Notifier widget in my bar. It does pop up when a device is inserted. If I click on the entry in the pop-up a Dolphin window opens with the newly mounted device. It seems that the click-through does the mounting and brings up Dolphin. I'm watching in another window and the Notifier's notification alone does not mount the device. There are two immediate questions that arise even from this: 1. Why Dolphin? Why not Konqueror? I have a Konqueror open but it doesn't get used. 2. Why do I get a new copy of Dolphin for each device I open? Why isn't a new tab opened? Perhaps there is a configuration file somewhere, but I'd rather not have to download and read the source code to find out. -- "Without involvement, there is no commitment.

But wait a minute. Konqueror is a much better, more functional and configurable file manager than Dolphin. Dolphin does only display fines, and cannot be tailored and configured to the same extent as Konqueror - by a long shot. Also, Konqueror 3.x is better than the 4.x version, at least in some ways. In Konqueror 4.x functionality is deliberately removed - and this has to be changed. One example is the capability of extracting EXIF info from a photographic image, as an example. In Konqueror 3.x one can right-click the file and get a very functional menu, where there is a section for meta data. Click on that, and you get a full range of useful information without having to go to another program or open another window. But in Konqueror 4.x this function is, incomprehensibly, taken away!

Get used to it. Dolphin, and whatever the enlightened KDE Team states, is the "in thing" and will be forced upon you irrespective of what you feel you want because you are now behind the times and out of touch from the MATRIX world.

Aaaw, come on! "Has to be changed". You are urinating against the wind my friend. The KDE Team and Novell Marketing Team have you by the short and curlies.

Okay, you are using irony. It would most useful if we could agree to convey our opinions to the KDE developers.

Aaaw, come on! "Has to be changed". You are urinating against the wind my friend.
The question is; does Konqueror become a better program if functionality like the one mentioned, or is such functions useful and adds to the value of the program?
The KDE Team and Novell Marketing Team have you by the short and curlies.
Absolutely not - they need input from real world users.
One example is the capability of extracting EXIF info from a photographic image, as an example. In Konqueror 3.x one can right-click the file and get a very functional menu, where there is a section for meta data. Click on that, and you get a full range of useful information without having to go to another program or open another window. But in Konqueror 4.x this function is, incomprehensibly, taken away!

"In your dreams, baby" :-D .
It must be possible to take a clear stand - failure to do so hardly results in a better world. Are we AGAINST or are we FOR configurability and choice? If the user can extract that info from any image file just by right-clicking on it, that is a much needed function for anyone working seriously with such files. Having to open another program or window in order to accomplish a task which was considerably easier in an /earlier/ version is not progress, and we need to tell the KDE people that. It has nothing to do with Novell, as far as I know the KDE teams are independent of any particular company. If some of the KDE developers have gotten the false idea that dumbed down software enhances usefulness it is about time that we as users tell them otherwise. Open Source software ought to give people something they cannot get in the Windows world, and a large part of that something is choice and the programs' capability of being configured to the user's needs.

Forget it. That was kde 3. In kde 4, konqueror is for the web, and dolphin is for files. If you need a functionality for files, like viewing exif info, ask for it in dolphin, because it will be removed from konqueror if it hasn't been yet.
