I want to disable usb storage module on Ubuntu 8.10. I also have Ubuntu 9.10 and when I put
blacklist usb_storage
in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf everything is fine.
When I do the same in 8.10 nothing happens. The difference is that there is
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
is there a way or terminal command to disable access to a USB storage device upon insertion given that it is not permitted?

-- I tried the modprobe -r usb-storage , but nothing happend
-- I tried the nousb option when loading the kernel, it worked, but mouse which was connected through usb port was also disabled
-- Also there is no usb-storage.ko driver inside the /lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop/kernel/drivers/usb/storage folder... there isn't the storage folder itself
I am trying to disable USB storage from servers.What I did is as following1> modprobe -vr usb_storage2> blacklist usb_storageIt is working fine. But root can again load the module into the kernel. [ modeprobe -v usb_storage ] want to restrict this also. My requirement is not even root can access the usb storage.

1.Appending blacklist-usbstorage to /etc/modprobe.d/bl*
2.removing the *.ko file,which removes the usb-storage drivers.
3.Added the line, install usb-storage /bin/true to /etc/modeprobe.conf
The first mentioned method works partially.That is the usb port in the front panel of the cpu is gets disabled.But,when i insert it at the port behind the CPU, usb-storage(pendirve) mounts automatically,which should not happen.
NOTE:usb-storage have to be disabled only for normal-users
I work for a regional cell phone company, and have recently taken it upon myself to create some documentation that will aid our mobile broadband users with installation of the aircards we carry.I decided to start out with Ubuntu 9.10, and I am using a Novatel mc727. I set it up using the mobile broadband feature that is built in, but I am having a few problems. First I have noticed that once you get the connection created, if you try to edit the settings, an error pops up stating that you are not authorized to do so, before I even get a chance to put in the password. Its not really a big deal, and if it comes down to it you can always delete the connection and start over. However, I have noticed that with the card plugged in, sometimes it can take up to 15 minutes to be recognized as a connection. I got to thinking about it and figured it may have something to do with the fact that this card, and all the cards we carry are seen on windows as a mass storage device. So to test this, i left the card in and rebooted, and of course on reboot, the card was mounted and once i hit eject, it was seen as a modem right away.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a 1TB external HDD which I use to store my music library of roughly 40 gigs. Therefore I would normally import music directly from it to my Rhythmbox library while keeping everything stored on the removable drive. In recent versions of Rhythmbox this is no longer needed as the application integrates my external HDD into the side pane and lists the music automatically. This is great although when closing Rhythmbox and reopening it, the drive has to be scanned all over again. This is a huge pain when it has to scan through 40+ gigs of music.
Therefore I would like this feature disabled and removed from my side pane. It is not needed and causes quite a large annoyance. Either I want it removed or the ability to keep the index of music from the drive in Rhyrhmbox at all times. Achieving this would be fantastic and would switch me back to Rhythmbox. recently I have been using Exaile which I love but rhythmbox not working bugs me.
I want to disable mounting usb storage devices except some devices based on its vendor id. I tried by adding below udev rule in debian wheezy
Code: Select allACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'for host in /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*; do echo 0 > $host/authorized_default; done'"
ACTION=="add", ATTR{idVendor}=="054c", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 1 >/sys$DEVPATH/authorized'"
But it disabled all usb devices(USB keyboard and mouse). How can I allow other devices except storage devices.
I am running Fedora 12 OS on my machine. I would like to disable the USB devices for normal users so that usb-storage devices cannot be plugged in. However at the same time a mouse or a keypad may/could have a usb connection. note that root should be able to use the usb storage devices. How can the same be done on fedora 12? I would prefer not to do it via the BIOS options.

It has internal storage and kernel assigns a device [/dev/sdX] to it.
Because of that, every second time my machine will not boot - kernel panic - as my usb hdd gets assigned /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sda.
I cannot use LABEL nor UUID in root= kernel parameter, as it is only available when using initrd, and I can't use it - I am using Debian on my router - mips architecture machine.
I have to prevent this from happening, as my router has to start everyday and I have to be sure it works ok. I don't have physical access to restart it when something goes wrong.
I don't use my modem internal storage, there's no SD card inserted. However kernel detects the reader and loads it.
I can not prevent loading od usb drivers since my hdd is on USB as well.
I'm using Opensuse 11.2 with the fglrx-driver out of the ati-reposiotry.This fglrx-driver installs a HDA-HDMI-Audio driver using the snd-hda-intel module.My onboard via soundchip uses the same module: snd-hda-intelWith the hdmi-device set to the first device a few apps (like the flash-plugin) use the hdmi-device, which is not connected to any speaker.I can't switch the via-card to the first device in yast, because both cards use the kernel-module. I tried different things on /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf with not results. And it is not possible to put the module on a blacklist, because both cards use it.Is there any way to disable the hdmi-device or to set the via-device to default?Here the output of aplay -l

I have a printer connected locally to my Debian box. It runs fine via cupsd.I am also running a Windows 2003 VMware guest which I would like to use the printer (use as a local printer, not a network printer).
VMware offers a connection via USB, so it should work. The printer I have plugged locally into the Debian host is recognised by the Windows 2003 guest, but it won't print. I get an error message saying that the printer is still connected to the host OS, and that I need to remove (or presumably disable) the host driver before the guest can use the printer.
So how can I find out which printer driver/module is being used by the Debian host to connect to this printer? And what is the best way to temporarily disable it, while my VMware guest is running?
I have compiled the proprietary nvidia drivers for 11.3. When I boot, even using the nomodeset boot option, the nouveau module still loads, causing gdm/X to fail. I am able to manually remove the modules with rmmod and restart gdm. Everything then works normally. I have added the line "blacklist nouveau" to both 50-blacklist.conf and 99-local.conf in /etc/modprobe.d

i installed firefox 4 and removed the old 3.X version. did a general update that my computer showed me was available then i noticed the first problem. firefox 4 would not launch when i clicked it, it would only launch when i clicked the gnome 3 applications button and then clicked and dragged the firefox logo to the desktop, then it opened. the second problem i am now having which at the moment is more bothersome is that after i closed the lid to my laptop and opened it up again after a while and logged back in and noticed that the ENTIRE gnome 3 environment was gone. no panel no menu nothing just the desktop and a few desktop icons. i tried the command "yum install gnome-shell" but it just sed that gnome 2.31.5-7 .fc14.i686 was already installed so it wasnt gonna do anything, then i tried the "gnome-shell --replace" command and it just said
failed to load "canberra-gtk-module": libcanberra-gtk-module no such file or directory.
I've installed openSuse 11.4 server-mode (text only) on my desktop, and I'm trying to configure IceWM so i'll eventually have it set up so it always boots into text only mode, but I could be able to quickly start icewm via the command line.using Yast, I installed the Xorg server, and icewm.when I type X, the screen goes black and it just doesn't seem to do anythingI found if I hit ctrl+alt+f1 it kinda puts me back into text only mode, but I can't put in commands anymore. The last thing it says on the screen is:
Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
I've goggled that error message and the discussions that popped up around it made no sense to me at all. I've never configured X from scratch before, can someone point me towards a tutorial or something?
