New USB devices not seen in KDE
in [Slackware]

From: Andy on 8 Mar 2010 21:56 After applying the big March 1st upgrade, KDE no longer sees new USB devices when I plug them in. Is this a KDE issue, or what? Dmesg looks normal (like I remember it previously): [ 1621.344036] usb 2-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4 [ 1621.755672] usb 2-4: New USB device found, idVendor=05dc, idProduct=a793 [ 1621.755679] usb 2-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 1621.755685] usb 2-4: Product: USB Flash Drive [ 1621.755690] usb 2-4: Manufacturer: Lexar [ 1621.755694] usb 2-4: SerialNumber: 23SBLAHBLAHBLAH4XUJ [ 1621.757329] scsi9 : usb-storage 2-4:1.0 [ 1626.759077] scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access Lexar USB Flash Drive 1100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS [ 1626.759994] sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg9 type 0 [ 1626.762935] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdh] 62652416 512-byte logical blocks: (32.0 GB/29.8 GiB) [ 1626.763919] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdh] Write Protect is off [ 1626.763926] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdh] Mode Sense: 43 00 00 00 [ 1626.763932] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdh] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 1626.766919] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdh] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 1626.766927] sdh: sdh1 [ 1626.769933] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdh] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 1626.769940] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdh] Attached SCSI removable disk Yes, they work fine when I mount them the old way.

Something got broken along the way to current, so I went back to a vanilla Slack 13 installation, and all is well again with "hotplugging" USB devices in KDE. Will wait until 13.1 or whatever until I start fooling with a more recent version of udev. -- Richard Herbert Registered Linux user 14329 If there's nothing wrong with me, then ... there must be something wrong with the Universe!

See if /usr/libexec/hald-probe-{storage,volume} show any missing library links (probably libparted). If so, then make sure all of your packages are synced with what's in the -current tree, particularly the parted and hal packages. -RW

I'm almost sure that "cherry picking from current" is the problem. You should never do that [1]. [1] Yes, I said never. [2] [2] Unless you *know* that the facts and circumstances surrounding a potential "cherry-pick" are such that it *is* expected to work properly in the -stable release [3] [4] [3] Obviously that's not the case here. [4] -current is our (the Slackware team) development branch. It is NOT for users wanting to run the newest shiny version numbers. It should ALWAYS be considered completely incompatible with the latest stable release, except when it's not, and if you don't know how to tell the difference, then refer back to the "ALWAYS" part. -RW

They all look good to me. Also, I didn't "cherry pick", I have all packages through March 2nd installed. Andy |
