RVDowning Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 After installing 2009.0 with kde4, keeping my home directory, plugging in a usb device (my Garmin 305) freezes the system. Any ideas? Prior to this new install I had just done an upgrade to 2009 and installed kde3 and usb worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 check /var/log/dmesg.log and messages.log for any errors around the time the freeze occurs - should help narrow down the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVDowning Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 I cleared out the logs to make it easier to find whatever my gps problem was, and then plugged in my Garmin 305 and guess what -- no problem. (The old Heisenberg issue attacks again.) Namely, when you go to look at the problem, the problem disappears. Sigh..... Anyway. # modinfo garmin_gps filename: /lib/modules/2.6.27.7-desktop-1mnb/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/garmin_gps.ko.gz license: GPL description: garmin gps driver author: hermann kneissel alias: usb:v091Ep0003d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* depends: usbserial,usbcore vermagic: 2.6.27.7-desktop-1mnb SMP mod_unload 686 parm: debug:Debug enabled or not (bool) parm: initial_mode:Initial mode (int) lsmod | grep gar garmin_gps 20740 0 usbserial 33768 1 garmin_gps agpgart 32840 2 nvidia,amd64_agp usbcore 138096 12 garmin_gps,usbserial,usb_storage,usbhid,snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,uvcvideo,isp17 60,uhci_hcd,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd Both of these commands were run after the Garmin had been disconnected. By the way, I also plugged in my digital camera and could not find it anywhere such that I could transfer pics to/from it. It is getting too late for me to research that further.
