[opensuse] USB card reader and memstick are not recognised
Had a good working 10.1 system and changed to 10.2 after a hd breakdown. Everything nicely installed and most things working. Found though that I cannot get my memory stick and cf cards in my card reader mounted. If I put a cd in the drive it is immediately recognized and I can do what I want to do with the cd. In 9.3 I believe and as far as I remember also in 10.0 and 10.1 a memorystick or any card in the card reader would activate Konquerer and I could read my inserted units. What can I do to get this action back? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If I am understanding correctly, do all these all plug into the card reader? If it says it is a Generic card reader, Vendor 0x1019, ProductID 0xc55, Revision 0.00, check out https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220251 and if this is your problem, you could use the latest kernel from the Kernel repository for the 10.2 branch, i.e. joe@jmorris:~> rpm -q kernel-default kernel-default-2.6.18.5-181.1 or patch your kernel and rebuild to get a working usbstorage.ko for that card reader, then just replace it.

-- Dear Joe, I am using kernel 2.6.18.2-34-default. No reaction after I insert memory sticks or cf cards in the reader. Nothing. Used usbview which tells me:
Can not open the file /proc/bus/usb/devices Verify that you have USB compiled into your kernel, have the USB core modules loaded, and have the usbdevfs filesystem mounted. --------------------------------- That the file /proc/bus/usb/devices cannot be opened is logical. That file does not exist. As my USB scanner is recognized and works I assume the kernel is okay. If the USB core modules are loaded I do not know but assume that part is also okay. What I know is that usbdevfs is not found in the fstab where I would expect it. Looked at the latest kernel-default and found that the rpm is only 50K. Is that right?

Dear Joe, I am using kernel 2.6.18.2-34-default.
OK, that is the default kernel for 10.2
No reaction after I insert memory sticks or cf cards in the reader. Nothing.
But I assume your card reader is found during boot? What does the USB section of Kinfoview show you about the device.
Used usbview which tells me: ------------------------------- Can not open the file /proc/bus/usb/devices
Obviously too old to help here.
Verify that you have USB compiled into your kernel, have the USB core modules loaded, and have the usbdevfs filesystem mounted. --------------------------------- That the file /proc/bus/usb/devices cannot be opened is logical. That file does not exist.
Correct, it has been deprecated.
As my USB scanner is recognized and works I assume the kernel is okay.
Correct
If the USB core modules are loaded I do not know but assume that part is also okay. What I know is that usbdevfs is not found in the fstab where I would expect it.
Because it has been done away with, and since the kernel USB maintainer works for SUSE, we might as well get used to doing things a new way.
Looked at the latest kernel-default and found that the rpm is only 50K. Is that right? Must have been deleted already. Before I try to patch or get the latest kernel I just want to check if the error has another cause.
IF you have the same card reader as I, and it used to work fine but quit working with 10.2, there is a good chance this is your problem. They changed the source for this card, which broke some (like mine). They changed it again in the 2.6.19 kernel, which fixed it again. The card reader is recognized but not initialized so it doesn't work. HTH. I think it would help to read the bug report. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Kinfoview is something i fund nowhere. Where can it be found? The only instance I found KinfoView was with google on the "lists.kde.org " But that list was unreachable.

Read the bug report and has to confess that it en above my hat. In that respect I am still a newbe ;). Have in the meantime the 2.6.18.5-181-default and are sill struggling with the cardreader -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sorry. I guess I should have verified the name. it is kinfocenter. Either changed or I have a main memory problem.

Then it must be a different card reader, because that kernel (which I am also running) does have the fix and my card reader now works again with no problems and no need to rebuild the usb-storage module. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

kinfocenter. Told me that I have only one "UHCI Host Controller, Standard USB Hub."
Info about this Hub: Class 9 (Hub) Subclass 0 (Unused) Protocol 0 USB Version 1.01 Vendor ID 0x3eb (Atmel Corp.) Product ID 0x3301 (4-port Hub) Revision 0.00 Speed 12 Mbit/s Channels 4 Max. Packet Size 8 Strange is that my USB scanner is connected but is not shown. The scanner is working and connected. On the 4-port Hub a memory stick is inserted and a card reader with a cf card. All led lights are on but that is all. I finally tried the connection without the 4-port Hub. Haven't heard of broken Hubs but why not. If I insert the memory stick or the card reader direct in the USB port I have instantly connection. Cannot transfer direct between the two media but that is okay. This 4-port Hub always worked as advertised but does not function in my setup. Will tomorrow check this Hub on another computer and see what happens. Remains the question why my scanner is not shown. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm having a similar problem, but my card is recognized, and will popup a message asking what I wish to do w/ the device... one of the choices is display in new window. Unfortunately the system then tells everyone including root that the permission is denied. I figured that goes w/ the same sort of thing, when it sees the firewire drive but wont let anyone access it in any way, not even root.. gotta figure a config error somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can find it... yet. still hunting. -- j -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Maybe it wasn't config file, after the last online update, everything werks... dunno why, butsince it does I am not going to piff the thing off by poking at it again <gd&r> -- j -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
