usb not detected
Does anyone know how to get the usb reader ( ECS K7VTA3 rev 8) for this MB to work with ubuntu?
|
just after plugging in the usb device run 'dmesg | tail' and post the output. also post the output of 'lsusb' and 'lsmod'.
i think thats a start for us to help. |
lsmod returns this

also can you post lspci?

it looks strange to me that your USB controller isnt listed here.. does the USB port work in say windows?
in the mean time try these commands as root (and post all of the outputs please): modprobe uhci modprobe usbcore (now plug in your device) dmesg | tail also post: "dmesg | grep -i usb" |
~$ sudo modprobe uhci
FATAL: Module uhci not found. sudo modprobe usbcore return command line only ~$ dmesg | tail [17179608.344000] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized [17179608.344000] Bluetooth: RFCOMM socket layer initialized [17179608.344000] Bluetooth: RFCOMM TTY layer initialized [17179608.344000] Bluetooth: RFCOMM ver 1.7 [17179624.704000] eth0: no IPv6 routers present [17179913.732000] ibm_acpi: ec object not found [17210164.108000] cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

when you modprobe something and it doesnt give output that means it was inserted properly.
did you plug the device in a usb2.0 port? can you plug it into a regular usb port in the back of the computer thats integrated into the motherboard? also as mentioned previously can you verify that any of these ports work in another OS such as windows for simplicity? also check the BIOS for anything USB-related and make sure its enabled. |
Yes everything worked before I installed ubuntu including the integrated usb and modem. As far as anything related to USB this is the return on the $ dmesg | tail command before device connected

if you are positive these ports work as tested in another OS and you havent changed any hardware settings or the BIOS then we can cancel those out. but for your information, when you first power on your computer itll display a bunch of hardware and firmware information and you can usually press something like DEL key and it will enter BIOS. anyways..
can you post 'lspci -v' and 'dmesg | grep -i usb'. also search apt for anything usb, let us know what you find and whats installed or not edit: can you also post 'dmesg | grep -i hci' |
how do u search apt?

Ok,here it goes:

well none of that output gives me any hints. to me it looks like the USB controller on your motherboard isnt enabled or working, but you said it is so that cant be the case. i dont know how to search with apt because i dont use a .deb based system, but run 'man apt-get'. im sure its something like 'apt-get --search *usb*'

YAHHOOOOOOO!!! I went into BIOS and found that my usb and onboard modem was not enabled they were both disabled. All I had to do was enable them restart pc and viola now I have 2 working ethernet cards and get this
