raysr Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I've tried to solve this before without success. I'm trying to get digikam to work but Mandriva won't detect any usb ports. Not for printers, usb mouse or a card reader. I have a dual boot with Xandros 3. Xandros doesn't have this problem. I have checked to see that hotplug is enabled in MCC>System>Enable System Sevices. I don't know where to go from here. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Make sure that haldaemon, harddrake, messagebus are also enabled, as I had problems if these were disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 It is possible that USB modules are not loaded in your system. Can you show the result when you type lsmod in the console? Also, check show us your /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/modprobe.preload files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonMage Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hmm.. it seems everything is loaded properly. Now, it is possible that it is detected, just nothing is being done about it. Maybe you need to turn off APIC and Local APIC. Have you tried booting with linux noapic nolapic At the Lilo Prompt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osakasan Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I am having this same problem. when go to MCC, all of my USB devices are catagorize as "Unknown Devices" Also, all of these devices has no Modules indicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieJohn Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Since everything looks normal in your Mandriva2005-LE and from my experience there were next to no usb problems with Mandriva2005-LE, I suspect that your bios still has legacy usb support selected and /or plug & play is still selected. During the start of the boot up process, repeatedly hit the Del key to enter your bios (this advice only in case you have not done it before), search through and deactivate legacy usb support and also Plug & Play. Not doing this prevents or hinders harddrake from detecting hardware devices properly. Hope it helps. Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just does this mean and how can I correct this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaner Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Are you completely updated? That should be your first move. I had a problem with one of my USB ports on my laptop, and just tried recently and it now works. I'm assuming this was an update issue that solved this problem. I didn't do any else to fix it. I read the KDE and LE2005 are supposed to handle the USB situation better than the Mandrake 10 did. Download all the updates. Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jazznsurf Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Make sure that haldaemon, harddrake, messagebus are also enabled, as I had problems if these were disabled. Brilliant, thanks for that tip. None of my USB devices were being detected, and I discovered that haldaemon was not running. Fired it up and Hey Presto, all the USB devices imiediately appeared in the "Devices" folder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
