I have reason to believe that my devices connected to usb isn't detected bu SuSE 9.3. I have recently posted on this list (see "Wacom graphire3, agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain"), and when I tried to install my printer it was not detected by YaST. In fedora and Debian I used Kprinter and things worked. Not in SuSE!!!!!! In the "hardware info" part of YaST the devices connected to my USB ports wasn't detected. I have 2 USB(v1) ports. But in /dev there is 4 "usblp" (usblp0 etc...), 5 "usbmouse" and 1 usbscanner. And I don't see the logic in that!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On one of the ports I have : --HP PSC 2110 (used hpoj driver in fedora and debian) --Wacom Graphier3 tablet with mouse an pen (or is it called "stylus"?) First: Is it posible to "force" SuSE to detect a device on a port Second: How do I know which decive file to use. In SaX the port for the tablet is sett to "USB" because i have no idea which device file to use. I get the same probølem with my printer. Which device file reffers to usb port the printer is connected to. On the 9.2 live cd everything worked perfectly, what has hapened in one relese!!!!!!!!!!!!! It seems that users doesn't have this problem, and googeling I haven't found out enything other than that SuSE has very good hardware detection (yea right.....) Thank You in advance, Dan Stefan Rundberget

What does lsusb say? Maybe the whole usb support is not installed. What is your fstab line that defines the usb? Is it like usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 or like none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 as it should be? Sometimes the former line persists through an upgrade.

Dear Jos Just a question about your remark "as it should be" I have a newly installed 9.3 and in my fstab I found usbfs instead of none and noauto instead of defaults. These values were written during install. Is your line better?

No. The operative word is "usbfs" as the third field. Regards, -- Jos van Kan www.josvankan.tk

I'm just going to throw this out as something to think about, because I got to experience it just this morning. After booting the computer this morning, I noticed that I had no USB response, to the scanner, to the card reader, etc., so began searching for the reason why. I also noticed I was getting 10-20% cpu activity in gkrellm. Another oddity when things are not being used after a fresh boot. Opened ksysguard (ctrl-esc) to see what process was causing this anomaly. Turned out to be "khubd", which I found later to be associated with the USB. The only thing I could find via Googling was a mention of a "kernel oops". The articles I found seemed to be only associate with 9.0 & 9.1 with the 2.4.x kernel versions. Might have been a mention of the 2.6.x somewhere also, don't remember. I know I have not had this problem until this last YOU kernel update though. The 2.6.8-24.17 build is the last one provided for 9.2, that I know of. I believe that 9.3 runs a later version/build, so don't know if the problems are related. A simple restart of the system seems to have fixed my problem though, but I would still like to know more about this "khubd" thing and why it happened. Don't know if this will relate to Dan's problem or not, but it certainly sounds similar. Lee -- --- KMail v1.8.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206
