View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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'm working on a server and noticed that the to RAID5 setup is showing 4 Raid devices but only 3 Total devices. It's on a fully updated CentOS 5 system that only has three SATA drives, as it can not hold anymore. I've done some researching but am unable to remove the fourth device, which is listed as removed. The full output of `mdadm -D /dev/md2` can be see below. I've never run into this situation before.Anyone have any pointers on how I can reduced the Raid Devices from 4 to 3? I have tried
mdadm /dev/md2 -r failed
mdadm /dev/md2 -r detached
but neither work and since there is no block device listed I'm not quite sure how to get things back in sync so it's only seeing the three drives.
/dev/md2:
Version : 0.90

I have Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome. Whenever I put in a blank CD/DVD an icon on the desktop appears named "Blank CD/DVD" and a window appears asking me what I want to do with it. How do I disable the window and the icon from the desktop?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running Lubuntu 10.04 on a Thinkpad T41. I had been running for a week before realizing that my USB devices (card reader and thumb drive) were not being recognized. I thought that the issue might be related to my aging Thinkpad but I installed the hard driveat is running Slackware and I had no issues with USB devices. I reinserted the hard drive with Lubuntu and was unable to recognize any USB devices.Has anyone else noticed this issue? If so, is there a fix for this issue?
View 9 Replies View RelatedFor some reason my USB devices just stopped working. I'm on my laptop, so I really don't need a USB Mouse but I like to use it. I also can't use my flash drive. The Command lsusb sees it. It will see both the mouse and my flash drive. I don't have any other devices to test, but I would like to know that they would work when I need them. The strange thing is it also used to work. I don't know what changed.

usb devices inserted after bootup aren't being automounted and opened. For the life of me, after much googling, I can't get them to work. the ehci_hcd, uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd modules are not loaded, but those were from some old posts, and I don't know how relevant they are to me.But if I insert the usb before startup, ubuntu now recognises and automounts any usb device.before the recent kernel update ( **.2 my wifi dongle would be recognised. but after,it seems as it too isn't being recognised.for the meantime, I am keeping a small unused usb device plugged in the back of the tower.

When copying files to USB storage of any sort, Nautilus has started hanging after a few files (varies from 1-200 files and a few MB to over 5GB on various occasions), failing to unmount the device, and eventually throwing up an I/O error and freezing.
If I kill/restart Nautilus and reconnect the device it can still be read but comes up as read-only. I can't copy files to the device again, and attempts to erase and reformat it fail in both Ubuntu and Vista. Oddly enough XP will reformat the device, after which it works properly again.
Please help! I could deal when it happened to my USB key but I just bollocked my mate's portable drive and he's a bit pissed off Seems to be happening on all my USB ports.
Not long ago I lost all sound, but I got it back eventually-the system wasnt snesing my usb speakers.
Now its stopped recognising them again and I cant remember how I got it back before.
How do I find a list of USB devices?
I am just getting started with Ubuntu and love it so far. It has breathed new life into an old Compaq Presario V2000 and once I get up to speed on it I hope to start running it on all the rest of our machines.
The only major problem I am having is that none of the USB devices I have plugged in are being detected. From what I have seen online I should be getting a notification and should be able to view the devices at Places/Computer but so far, nothing. Googling this problem it appears that individual devices often don't work but I could not find anything on all USB devices not working.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong here?
Jaunty is fully updated but SUDDENLY is not recognizing external devices (card reader, camera, DVD inserted in drawer, etc.) In other words, I cannot see my media and, therefore, cannot open it.
Anybody else having problems here? What's up? Did something go wrong in the updates?
(AMD64 running stable Jaunty 9.10 fully updated)
I have a usb bluetooth dongle I've connected to my machine. The device appears just fine and using hcitool scan I can scan for device with no trouble. However blueman doesn't seem to register the device even when I force the applet to display and try add a new device it won't scan/see any of the bluetooth devices. Has anyone come across something similar or would know how I should proceed?

I am having difficulty because none of the USB drives I am using are unmounting as they should be. normally speaking when erasing data from my USB key when you come to unmounting it it will ask if you would like to send this data to the recycle bin thus giving you back the extra storage space on the device. 10.04 isnt allowing me to send these items to the recycle bin ad doesn't give the option to do this.
i've been having this problem since lucid, in both ubuntu and kubuntu, though im currently running kubuntu wich is why i tagged it that way.I open k3b, and it immediately tells me there's no optical device/drive...Then i "wodim --devices" and it returns

well that sucks, next stop "wodim --scanbus"

I currently own an easyCAP, standard definition capture device. I'm looking into purchasing a HD capture device, but the only one which says it supports Linux in the spec is the Blackmagic Intensity Pro (PCi Card). Here is a list of the ones which I'm looking into possibly getting, but I'd like to know if I can use it to record (my Xbox 360) on Ubuntu (Studio) 10.04 Lucid Lynx, and how hard it would be to set it up.
Blackmagic Intensity Pro
Hauppauge HD PVR
AVerTV HD DVR
Blitzbox HD
Also, if you know of any other decent HD capture devices, comment and let me know
I just bought a Nokia N900 and it's a beautiful device!
Naturally, since it runs Linux, it's unable to synchronize with other Linux devices. It's one of those wacky universal constants you can't seem to understand.
I've tried using SyncEvolution, which supports funambol, but it does not work. It keeps complaining about a failed authentication or whatnot.
basic script on unmounting devices, as that option was removed in Ubuntu Lucid?I'm aware I can possibly recompile the nautilus source and all that, but I think a much easier method would be to just add a script for such. Something basic, like this, but that includes ALL devices that can be unmounted (such as flash drives, external hard drive, and sd/xd cards), not just disc drives. Pretty much what the right click 'Unmount' option in nautilus used to be like:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
sudo umount /dev/sr0
Was just wondering if it was safe to run devices off of an unpowered USB-hub, unfortunately I do audio production and when the DC-adapter is connected I get horrible alternating hissing noises through the sound system. Was just wondering if it would be safe to connect an external mouse, keyboard and a self-powered printer to the usb-hub without drawing too much current and wrecking the system.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy friend bought a new PC, and he's duel booting Ubuntu 10.04LTS and Windows 7 Ultimate. At first I tried partitioning the hardrive using fdisk in Ubuntu, but it couldn't find hda. After looking in /dev/, there wasn't hda, or any sd* devices. I looked in gparted and used the installer afterwards and both came up with nil. I installed Windows, updated the BIOS using the utility that came with the mobo, and tried seeing if Ubuntu could detect my hardrive and it couldn't. I even turned ACPI off when booting and that didn't work either.
The motherboard is a new Gigabit with 3 PCIe slots and a USB3.0.
I'm looking for some help on how to troubleshoot the network on Ubuntu 10.04 64 Desktop. It's on a Acer Aspire 721. There's a wireless card but the widget in the top right says there is no network device.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just attempted to purge and reinstall ALSA (and all of it's related packages/utils) after disabling the on-board sound in an effort to use only an M-Audio Delta 1010 as the sole sound device. I've also tried to reinstall Envy24, as well as drivers for the ICE1712 chip... Now,I have no sound devices. alsamixer tells me there is such file or directory. When I go to /proc there isn't even an asoundrc file there.
I don't know what to do. I've spent the last 4 hours looking for a fix, and trying all sorts of things, even the comprehensive sound troubleshooting guide on this forum. Nothing. I got absolutely nothing. Everything goes exactly as the guide states, except after rebooting, and trying aplay -l and alsamixer, it says there's nothing installed?I have to have a sound, this machine is a DAW .End result I'm looking for is to use the Delta 1010 as the ONLY sound device.
After reformatting a usb drive with gparted, no usb stick will automount when I plug it in anymore. If the usb is in place at startup, however, it is recognized and mounted.The media will show up in fdisk and disk utility, but there is no link to it in Places > Computer. I have no trouble manually mounting, but I would rather not have to go through the hassle each time I plug in my flash stick. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 64bit

In the above link am using for the Disable for USB device. how i can re enable the USB devices.
Just built a box and once 10.04.2 64 bit was all installed and loaded up I realized instead of showing my Ethernet as connected it had the ol x. So when I clicked on it I got "No network devices available." The mainboard is an Asrock 890GX Pro3, link light completely out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter installing Ubuntu 10.4, and rebooting, my cd/dvd and usb memory drives did not operate. An example of this problem is as follows: Upon inserting a cd or flash drive into my machine it would attempt to read the device but would fail. It would not display an icon on the desktop for either device. Upon opening Places>Computer the device would be displayed there. If either device were selected, and an attempt made to open it, the machine make another attempt to open and fail again.Ubuntu 10.4 was a clean install. I then did a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10 with all updates and everything worked fine, then upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 with the same results.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire 3500 laptop that I'm running 10.04 on, pretty much everything works OK, and I don't appear to have any hardware problems (I've checked using Gnome Device Manager). When I plug in a USB flash or hard drive, I don't get any drives/devices to mount, although in Gnome Device Manager the USB device appears as a USB Mass Storage Device.
