[SOLVED... I hope] No USB detection, I have udev and the drivers

xangelux · 2011-02-19 01:59:34

Hi, my problem is this, I've installed archlinux on my girlfriend's PC, Everything went well but when I installed GNOME and GDM I realize the mouse didn't work, so I went looking for everything that said on the web, I have installed UDEV and hal for hardware detection, I putted dbus on the DAEMONS part of the rc.conf and I don't know what else to do. My rc.conf looks like this

...
MOMODULES=(!acpi)
...
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal network netfs crond alsa gdm)

I should add that I had to put !acpi because a problem on the first boot (the screen went blank on the first reboot). I did a cat /dev/input/mice and when I move the mouse I don't get a response.

By te way, nothing on the USB department works, doesn't mount USB pendrives or anything.

PS. I've installed xf86-input-mouse and doesn't work neider.

Does lsusb show your devices or no?

Also try connecting the device(s) to different USB ports.

So you don't need the formatter, but the other stuff is useful. Also, what does dmesg say?

toad@archtop 500\1 ~ > pacman -Q |grep usb
libusb 1.0.8-1
libusb-compat 0.1.3-1
quick-usb-formatter 0.4-1
usbmuxd 1.0.6-2
usbutils 001-2

And that all can be different problems.
You can try installing xf86-input-evdev and see if mouse works.
If it works than usbsticks may not be working due to policikit problems.

Thank you all for a quick response

lsusb shows nothing, like anything is pluged in, every hardware is fine, I booted with a fedora live USB and the mouse and flashdrives worked

I put what dmesg says on a pastebin here

this returns the next:

libusb 0.1.12-4
libusb1 1.0.8-1
usbmuxd 1.0.4-2
usbutils 0.87-1

You appear to lack libusb-compat:

Thanks for your dmesg output - did you put a usb-stick in immediately prior to typing dmesg? Doesn't look like it.

Yes, it was plugged in. I did a pacman -S libusb-compat and it returned a unknown package even in AUR

Sounds like you need to update your mirrorlist, as it is in Core:

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=libusb-compat

toad · 2011-02-21 19:28:17

Get reflector and it will never happen again

yuo are right, unfortunetly my girlfriend got very desperred to use her system and had to install Fedora again , , great system, but not great enogh

I hope you are right.

Thanks anyway for the effort, in future installs I'll be shure to get the mirrors right and the libusb-compat package on the system. I'm thinking on creating a book with the installation guide for Archlinux but one that includes all my set backs and work arrounds, I'll get it printed if I do and show it here when and if a can

Thanks my fellows archers.

PS. I have annother topic creaded and no one knows how to resolv it, do you know something about it? its here

toad · 2011-02-22 06:34:36

I know I am. Your system is only as up to date as its mirrors. It is up to the user to maintain and take care of them and I have reflector and paccheck do this for me.
