I have used PCLinuxOS for a long time, and a year or more ago, the USB connection to my OneForAll Remote URC-6440 stopped mounting when plugged in. Just as well that I didn't need to change the settings on it. I do this using the RemoteMaster program from
http://www.hifiremote.com/forums/
I also installed on spare partitions, MX-Linux 17 then 18, and antiX 17, both based on Debian and they worked. However, they now both have their versions 19 in ßeta, and they don't work any more in those version. In the case of MX, it's using the very same kernel, so it's not that.
What I think has happened, is that the more recent system software is more sensitive to less than perfect interfaces and is rejecting the auto-mount. I can force it to mount from the command line, but when that is done, the Remote Master program still can't read it.
This is the dmesg -c output for the two situations:
1. Mounts in MX-Linux 18:

Does anyone know how I can give some standing permission how to accept this device? There is a Vendor and ID number. Does anyone know how this is done?
