Weird USB Issues

Hey guys,

Recently I noticed in /dev, I do not have /dev/usb or anything related to it. Also my USB devices no longer work, except for the mouse and I do not know why. I booted up with an ipod attached, lsusb -v shows nothing, fdisk -l shows absolutely nothing, and if I plug it in and unplug it I get nothing either. It's like nothing but the mouse exists.

Also I used rmmod on ehci_hcd and reloaded it, still nothing. I cannot plug in a flashdrive, if I do it is just not recognized by the system. I tried on every port that wasn't the mouse and nothing works. If you guys need dmesg / lsusb output just ask. I am not sure how much else to give but this is just really weird and I do not know why this occurs, no custom kernels here or anything...

Help is much appreciated if you could.

Thank you!

Re: Weird USB Issues

hi finch127, welcome to arch linux

/dev/usb? when you plug in a new usb drive, it is registered as /dev/sdb1 even after that, you cannot access it as you have not mounted it yet. please read up on the wiki on how to manage usb storage devices.

Re: Weird USB Issues

Reboot. Especially if you see a difference between:

$ uname -r && pacman -Q linux
3.4.2-2-ARCH
linux 3.4.4-1

Always reboot after you update the kernel (the linux package). Then USB devices will start working again.

PS: Also make sure you're in the storage group.

$ groups

I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).

Re: Weird USB Issues

Hi there,

I've got quite similar issue afer last kernel upgrade (to 3.4.4-2). I'm not sure what exactly happened but usb devices are not visible for my system any more. Additionaly I'm not able to load kernel modules  which are responsible for usb management.
Please see the command prints pasted below:

lsmod | grep usb

I can't see any difference if there is pendrive pluged in or not. System can't detect it at all.

The another modprobe example:

sudo modprobe rts5139
sh: /bin/fals: No such file or directory
libkmod: command_do: Error running install command for rts5139

It is getting more and more interesting now:

sudo lsusb

Downgrade kernel version to linux-3.4.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz also did not help

I'll appreciate any suggestions, this 2 days battle is going to kill me.
Kind regards,

Re: Weird USB Issues

User added to storage group: done

You need to log out and log back in again (or reboot) after you add yourself to a particular group.

Re: Weird USB Issues

Yes, I had user added to storage group before update. There was nothing changed with groups.

Re: Weird USB Issues

Yeah, I thought you might say something like that... Do you dual boot with something? And do USB devices work there? Because it could be a hardware issue.

If you don't dual boot with anything, try a livecd.

This should've picked up any USB device:

$ lsusb

Try another port, another cable or another computer to see if the device itself isn't the problem.

Re: Weird USB Issues

I was almost sure that this is not a hardware issue because during boot with usb stick plugged, stick led shines. I have checked with live cd and it approved my suspicion.

Re: Weird USB Issues

I googled the error messages you got and reinstalling the kernel usually seems to work. If it doesn't, then you should try google with "ehci_hcd: disagrees about version of symbol".

Re: Weird USB Issues

As I wrote before, kernel reinstall did not help. I tried to clean /usr/src/linux-3.4.4-2-ARCH/ but I've got the following errors:

make clean
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig

*** Error during update of the configuration.

make[3]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1
make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2
scripts/Makefile.clean:17: /usr/src/linux-3.4.4-2-ARCH/arch/x86/lib/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-3.4.4-2-ARCH/arch/x86/lib/Makefile'. Stop.
make: *** [_clean_arch/x86/lib] Error 2

Now I'm compiling linux-bfs 3.4.4-423...

------------------------------------------------------

Added to post:

linux-bfs 3.4.4-423 install did not fixed usb issue. I have installed completly fresh system and USB works, unfortunatelly we won't be able to find out what was the problem.

Anyway, thank you guys for you replies and help.
