cm0901 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 So, after the automount, here is another issue :) I can't get my usb pen working with Mandrake 10.1 official. here is /var/log/messages: Mar 1 20:35:28 Claudio kernel: usb 4-3: new high speed USB device using address 53 Mar 1 20:35:33 Claudio kernel: usb 4-3: control timeout on ep0out Mar 1 20:35:38 Claudio kernel: usb 4-3: control timeout on ep0out Mar 1 20:35:38 Claudio kernel: usb 4-3: device not accepting address 53, error -110 when the pc if fresh-booted, and i insert the pen in usb, it starts with address 1. then, going on and on, it auto-increment its address, but never finding its solution. any clue, please? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 try the old standby - turn off APIC (and maybe ACPI). you can do this in the control centre, find the app which controls the boot process. If that doesn't work, try the low-tech solution - plug it in a different USB socket, preferably one elsewhere on the machine (i.e. if you tried one of the ports on the front, try one on the back). This probably sounds a bit odd, but actually, different ports on machines are often handled by different USB controllers, and if one doesn't work you might have luck with another.

cm0901 Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 my usb are all in the back (it's a laptop). i tried the no acpi and no apic as well (and the acpi would deactivate my power monitor, and this is very bad :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamboo_spider Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 try using Gnome instead of KDE - it seems to work well with out having to fiddle with code lines and stuff bamboo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 no, that won't help, the problem is lower-level. cm, sorry about the monitor, messing with those options can have unpredictable results :). hope you managed to get it back on, if not, let me know and I can help. if you change any APIC or ACPI options and they don't fix the problem you were trying to solve, it's definitely best to change them back to how they were before. this might be a tricky one :\. try a newer kernel?

cm0901 Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 no, i meant the "battery monitor", i.e. the battery power status :) no i'll try with both no apic and lapic. if not.. a newer kernel.. honestly i'm not so able in recompiling kernels.. i always miss something :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 oh, right, I see :). Yeah, that'd make sense, APM and ACPI report battery power in different ways and some applets will support one and not the other. For a newer kernel, I wouldn't bother building one from scratch, just grab a Cooker kernel. Usually running Cooker packages on stable MDK is BAD BAD BAD, but oddly, doing it with the kernel is pretty safe - it's much less likely to cause problems than some shared library in any case, and if it does, you still have your old kernel around in any case, so you can just boot right back to that. So I'd suggest going to a Cooker mirror, grabbing kernel-2.6.10-3mdk and the corresponding kernel-source, and installing those. Or try kernel-multimedia from contrib, but be aware that 19mdk and 20mdk of kernel-multimedia seem broken to me, 18mdk was fine and 21mdk is apparently also good but hasn't made it to the mirrors yet.

cm0901 Posted March 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 and where i can find those kernels? i guess i had to add some cooker source, but... what are? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm0901 Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 nothing, neither with 2.6.10 kernel.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Did you update your mdk10.1 with the KDE updates? Follow the white rabbit,.. ehm, the easy-urpmi link at the top of each page here, and set up your update repository, and update your kde stuff. I'm not sure if this is related, but I know that stock 10.1 OE with KDE has loads of issues with usb removable storage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm0901 Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 yes, i have kde3.3.2.. i'm about to try 3.4 rc1 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 nah, it wouldn't be related to kde, it's a low-level kernel error trying to talk to the usb key at all. You might want to report this on the kernel bugzilla and see if they have any ideas :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yeah, I guess adamw is right - just since so many here seem to have troubles with usb in kde and not in gnome, I got into the standard posting mode... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
