Hardware :: USB Hub Only Recognizes One Input
May 5, 2010
I have used Ubuntu and Fedora and am familiar with Linux for about two years now. I have recently installed Arch Linux on one of my computers, and I like the distro so far. However, I am having an issue with my USB hub. When I connect a mouse and keyboard to the hub, the computer only recognizes input from the device that I plug in first when using a window manager (the keyboard always works when I am not in a window manager). If I disconnect one device, the other device starts working. Both devices appear in dmesg when I disconnect and reconnect them. So the computer is recognizing the devices independently, but input from one device is not received. I have tried this on both Gnome and Fluxbox, with the same result. If I plug both devices directly into the computer's USB ports, both devices work at the same time. The hub works on a Windows 7 system and on an Ubuntu system, so the hub is not faulty.
More information: My keyboard is Microsoft Razer Reclusa keyboard. My mouse is a Logitech Wireless Mouse M215.
Below is the dmesg output that I think is relevant to this issue. Here is the output I get when I plug in my USB hub (without anything plugged into it), then plug in the mouse to the hub, and finally plug in the keyboard to the hub:
Code: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 80
hub 1-4:1.0: USB hub found
hub 1-4:1.0: 4 ports detected
usb 1-4.2: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 81
input: Logitech USB Receiver as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4/1-4.2/1-4.2:1.0/input/input96
generic-usb 0003:046D:C526.005D: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-4.2/input0
input: Logitech USB Receiver as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4/1-4.2/1-4.2:1.1/input/input97
generic-usb 0003:046D:C526.005E: input,hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.11 Device [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-4.2/input1
usb 1-4.1: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 82
hub 1-4.1:1.0: USB hub found
hub 1-4.1:1.0: 3 ports detected
hub 1-4.1:1.0: activate --> -28
usb 1-4.1.3: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 83 .....
Interesting to note is that the line that say "usb 1-4.2: reset full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 94" increases in the number of times it appears over time. This happens in both scenarios, with the address number changing appropriately. So for example, when everything is plugged in, and I type dmesg, the line appears five times. Then when I type dmesg again, it appears 11 times. etc., for each subsequent dmesg call until the device is disconnected.

I recently got a real fancy unidirectional microphone, but when I go and use it, something strange happens. The mic is a mono mic, but when I record something, it appears to think it's stereo. Instead of having the same thing on both channels, it puts it all in the left channel, and silence on the right channel.
I tried fiddling with alsamixer. In capture (F4), adjusting the "Capture" device has an effect. However, it doesn't do anything useful. Lowering the right channel to zero does nothing, lowering the left channel to zero creates silence, and disabling the right channel creates silence.
In my System>Preferences>Sound (or pavucontrol, or what-have-you), there are "Analog Stereo Input" and "Analog Stereo Duplex" options there, but no "Analog Mono Input" or "Analog Stereo Output + Analog Mono Input" options (the latter being ideal).
Something interesting, though, if I do this:
Code:
arecord -r 96000 -D pulse -c 1 -vv -V mono /dev/null
it works correctly and outputs on both channels. But if I do
Code:
arecord -r 96000 -D pulse -c 2 -vv -V stereo /dev/null
then it's back to the same behavior. The VU meter on the second command shows the left channel going up and down as I make noise, but the right one always at zero.
The machine does have a crap internal mic built in to the screen bezel. If I do either of the above commands, they both work correctly. The stereo VU shows the same activity for both channels.
The machine is a Eee 1015PED, which has Intel integrated sound. Something probably insignificant is that the mic has a 1/4 inch mono plug, and to get it to plug into the Eee, I needed to get a 1/4 female to 1/8 male adapter. The mic's 1/4 plug is mono (duh) and therefore two-conductor, but the adapter I got is stereo, or three conductor (L, R, GND). I don't know if this is tripping something in hardware to tell it it's stereo or something.
I tried the mic on my desktop, which has a SB Audigy 4 (the non-pro flavor) and that has the "Analog Mono Input" function, so that works fine. Is there some way to turn this stereo input into mono input?

since fedora wasn't running very stable at first I tried installing centOS and noticed that it detected my hardware differently.......
When installing F10 it recognizes my 160Gb system drive (IDE1) as sde (behind my 4 SATAII drives). CentOS recognized correctly that it is hda.

I want to have apache + php + mysql.My apache does not recognize php and mysql is only partially installed.Php works but not thru apache. The apache conf file has no reference to it.In case it matters, I insalled some security updates that created a defective later version -2.6.32.5 which loops and displays garbage. At startup I interrupt grub and tell it to run the old one. I would remove the defective one but don't know how. I'm an experienced systems programmer with almost no unix time. (pdp8-os8, pdp11-rsx, tandem-tal, vax-vms,os360, etc)

I installed Lucid. I used to have Ubuntu 9.10 and to connect my iPod to my laptop's speakers. There was an option in 9.10 in the Sound Options to change the Mic Input into a Line Input. But now unfortunately I can't find it in Lucid have only 2 audio ports in the laptop: Headphone port, Mic port.

I would like to use Japanese kana (hiragana, katakana, kanji) on Ubuntu but everything that I've tried to get it set up and running isn't working. The Spanish that I have set up is working perfectly so far.
I've read, the SCIM input program should start up automatically when loading a program, it doesn't. When I have it loaded I cannot seem to get the input working.

I have installed opensuse 11.3 by DVD (bad ; maybe bad DVD burner HW; tried several times); XKDE live CD (recognized Primary HDD as SDA); and now KDE live CD; originally recognized as SDA; now reinstalled 3 times and always SDB. And it will not boot to anything; and cannot find grub menu list. I do have 2 HDDs, but secondary is just used for personal file storage.

I've had Fedora 11 running on my PC since shortly after release. I have a DVD-ROM as the Master on the single IDE port on my MoBo and a DVD-RAM as the slave on that port. I also have 4 ea SATA 500GB HDDs using JBOD configuration on the MoBo. When I first installed F 11 I noticed that if I dupped a CD the blank icon would stay on my desktop, even though I had removed it. Also it did not "see" that I had put a new blank in the burner. I would have to reboot to correct. However the system would recognize an audio cd, play it rip or whatever.
Now the first problem I think has gone away but neither drive when I put an audio cd into them will recognize it. The light on the drive will come on and then start flashing as normal, but nothing happens. When I check to see if I can manually mount it, the system comes back with No Media in drive. Anyone have any ideas? This seems to have happened I'd say about 1.5 weeks ago was the last time I know it worked. I suspect an update possibly "broke" something. Any reliable knowledge base as to what actually transpires between the time I put a CD in the drive and the icon pops up and it starts playing or whatever.

I made a mistake installing the most recent distro of Ubuntu. When choosing where to install the loader, I selected "Windows 7 (loader)" instead of the proper default option. Now when I select Windows 7 in GRUB, it just brings me right back to GRUB.
However, my Windows installation and all the files are still present on the disk. The recovery disk doesn't recognize the Windows installation, but all the files are clearly present. I was even able to recover my most important files onto a USB drive using the file browser in the recovery disk.How can I correct this mistake? I need to be able to boot into Windows 7 again.

I have a quad core computer. The video card, I believe, is a Zotac 9500. I installed Fedora 12 in a dual boot along side Win 7. The problem with the Fedora installation is that it only recognizes video of 800 x 600.

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a hard drive for another computer, then I switched it back to it's original computer and when I try to update or anything, it won't get the packages because it isn't connected.
So I try entering in lspci. It recognizes: Ethernet Controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet pro 100 (rev 0
as one of them. I have the Ethernet cable plugged in, the Ethernet light is on, so it detects the cable. It just won't connect, and I have a valid connection or I wouldn't be able to be on here right now. I've tried 2 cables, still a no go. Is there a way I can connect or will I have to put the HD in the other desktop again and install everything and some drivers?

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 x64, and I have an AMD Phenom 2 x4 940 CPU. First I have to underline that four cores worked perfectly in previous versions of Ubuntu as well as Windows.
When looking at system monitor it tells me that I have two CPUs/Cores, it should be four.
This is the output of CPU info:
Code:
processor: 0
vendor_id: AuthenticAMD
cpu family: 16
model: 4

It recognized the webcam alright. But after an update perhaps a couple of months ago, it no longer does. Skype is Beta version 2.1.0.81. If I go to Options, Video devices, it shows me only one option for webcam, namely Quote:USB Camera (05a9:a511) (/dev/video0)I click on test but nothing happens. I can communicate and see the other person, but she doesn't see me

I just installed it yesterday, version 10.10, desktop edition, downloaded from Ubuntu's site; running it along side Windows; and love it from the get go, but... I can't get the Flash plugin to work.
I'm running a Toshiba Satellite Pro P505-S8945 with this specs:
2.0GHz Intel Core2 Duo P7350 Processor
400GB Hard Drive, DVD SuperMulti Drive
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (32bit), 4GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4570 Graphics
I tried installing the 32bit version on Flash but kept getting error messages about "wrong architecture i386", so, I went to the (sorry if i make a mistake I'm paraphrasing) "Ubuntu software center", the application within Ubuntu where you can go to the repositories and get software upgrades, and I realized that for some reason Ubuntu is recognizing my system as running on an AMD 64 processor, which I'm not! Mind you, I haven't tried to install the 64bit version of flash, just wondering really, the reason why Ubuntu would say that I'm running on a 64bit AMD processor!

I have just installed a Virtual Machine with Debian. My goal is to set up a LAMP server to work with. I have installed Apache, PHP and MySQL, everything without any problems and following WIKIs.
Now, I have a problem, because I'm trying to work with folder within my /var/www folder. If I use the address http://192.168.1.103 in my Host computer's browser, I can see the "It works!" from Apache without a problem.
Now, if I try to see: http://192.168.1.103/test/ I can't see the index.html that is within the folder test that is on the path: /var/www/test Why is this? What do I need to do and keep this simple?

I read that synaptic touchpads should support multitouch and as I have one of those I tried to enable it. However I wasn't successful.
After some digging in config files (I had to enable SHMConfig) I ended up with KDE configuration tool which is really cool but all multitouch options are there disabled. And also there is an information which says that only one finger is detected by this touchpad.
Is something wrong or my touchpad just doesn't support multitouch? I got this laptop 1.5 years ago so it's not very old.
And by the way, I have this in my Xorg.0.log
Code:
[ 28.821] (--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: touchpad found
[ 28.821] (II) config/udev: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (/dev/input/mouse2)
[ 28.821] (EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

I own a D-Link DI-604 wired router and I've started getting some issues after Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 upgrade(Ubuntu 9.04 used to work OK!). The problem is that Ubuntu recognizes all my ethernet cards (see below), but I can only connect to the internet through eth1 not eth0 (which is my Windows default). If I try to plug the cable in eth0 nothing happens (at least not in Ubuntu 10.04 and 9.10).
Code:
lucas@lucas-desktop:~$ sudo lshw -C network
[sudo] password for lucas:
*-network:0

my HP Pavilion a335w on board NIC stopped working. I've tried putting in another NIC in the PCI slots #1 & 2 of the three available and the system does not pickup the card. I thought it was because it was an old 3com 3c905b and was not supported.I took the box to Best Buy and purchased a new Linksys card and had them install it.The Geek Squad told me that the Motherboard was bad, no charge.I took it to a refurbishing store and the very patient gentlemen tried to get a Netgear FA310TX card to be recognized with no luck.I took the Netgear FA310TX card home and put in slot #3 and booted up with the install disk. In Rescue Mode it recognizes the NIC and gets an IP address from the router.If I boot up normally without the install disk, then it does not recognize the NIC.

As of yesterday, afetr an upgrade that recquired restaring the system, I connected my iPhone as i have always done, just to charge the battery with the USB cable. Well, to my surprise, a window other than the camera one that asked about launching FPhoto, appeared; it stated that my iPhone could launch Amarok or Rythmbox, my choice.
Well, to my surprise, the phone is recognized and all the music is loaded in Rythmbox, but in Amarok it takes a very long time to just achieve a 60ish% gain.Now in the desktop an additional icon appears one of a generic Nokia type phone.I have searched, and am aware that Lucid will have support for my iPhone, its just that it is happening now.

I've been using banshee for a couple weeks. And it's worked great up until now. This happened one other time, and I reinstalled ubuntu, and it worked fine. Now it's not working again. What's happening is, I plug my ipod in, and banshee recognizes it. But when I try to put music onto it, it says it's syncing, and then I disconnect, and the music isn't on there. I updated podsleuth, but that didn't seem to help.

stil_language is the start symbol. The bus variable is initialised at 0 ( There's a check in the main ). The problem is that the parser does not recognises the NUM token ! It just re writes any expression that corresponds to the "number" regular expression. Here's a prompt example :
