 usbview (pkg) errorM11
I just installed a package (usbview). It opens but gives the following error (as user and root). USBView Error Can not open the file /proc/bus/usb/devices. Verify that you have USB compiled into your Kernel, have the USB core modules loaded, and have the usbdevfs filessystem mounted. Isn't that supposed to be done at installation of the OS? |

Re: usbview (pkg) error MEPIS doesn't automatically mount the usbdevfs filesystem, and its name was shortened a couple years back to usbfs. The development of udev has made it unnecessary for most purposes, but it's still in the kernel if you want it.
You can mount it manually with this (root user) command:
Once the usbfs is mounted, usbview works as expected. _________________ XFX Nforce 750 (built in GeForce 8300), Athlon X2 5000 Lenovo G550 , Intel T4400 , Intel Mobile 4 graphics |
