[SOLVED] USBView Error: /proc/bus/usb/devices

Hello,

USBView here gives the following error:

Can not open the file /proc/bus/usb/devices

Verify that you have USB compiled into your kernel, have the USB core modules loaded, and have the usbdevfs filesystem mounted.

Searching the internet, I found that the two main causes may be that the location is wrong and usbdevfs must be mounted, however I don't know how to fix any of them.

Just in case this may be useful:

lsmod | grep usb

usb_storage            44519  0 
snd_usb_audio          93493  0 
snd_usbmidi_lib        18936  1 snd_usb_audio
snd_rawmidi            19458  1 snd_usbmidi_lib
snd_hwdep               6389  2 snd_hda_codec,snd_usb_audio
snd_pcm                74780  4 snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,saa7134_alsa,snd_usb_audio

scsi_mod              133443  5 libata,sd_mod,sr_mod,uas,usb_storage
usbcore               146241  10 ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd,usbhid,gspca_main,gspca_sonixj,snd_usbmidi_lib,snd_usb_audio,uas,usb_storage
usb_common               954  1 usbcore

Do you know how to solve it?

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] USBView Error: /proc/bus/usb/devices

Nothing bad, except that usbview is obsolete in these days (3 years without updates).

Anyway if you want to use it, just mount the deprecated /proc/bus/usb

mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb

Gracias djgera !! It worked perfectly!

However you said USBView is deprecated now. Does it exist a better alternative then?

Thanks again!

Nope, I do not know. I just use lsusb.

¡Por nada!
