Enable usb on every boot

popdog · 02-09-2005, 04:36 AM

This is probably really simple to fix but every time i boot up I get no usb (i.e my mouse doesn't work). I get a console up, login as root and do a -

/sbin/modprobe usb-uhci

and everything works again. Is there anyway I can automate this for every startup? Im getting a bit annoyed at having to do this every time I start Fedora

Thanks in advance for any help

Hello,

you can add this command in a boot script... have a look in /etc/init.d/ (or if it does not exist that's /etc/rc.d/init.d)

Thanks, i'll try that. I presume I just write a quick bash script? Never written one before but does this look correct?

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# Quick usb fix

/sbin/modprobe usb-controller

Yes in fact you have 2 choices:
either you insert your command in an existing script... but in this case you need to know what script does and be sure that the script is run for your default runlevel
or you create a new script (yours is correct)... but in this case you need to enable it for the runlevel you boot (see chkconfig and service command to do that)
