DetailsRunning "lsusb -t" fails with the following output:
[22:12 TA|catwell] lsusb -t cannot open /proc/bus/usb/devices, No such file or directory (2) This is because lsusb tries to use usbfs, which afaik. is deprecated and not mounted by default. Mounting usbfs fixes it: mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb (as root) Still, I think it would be better if lsusb used sysfs instead. The same bug has been fixed in Ubuntu that way (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usbutils/+bug/159189). I have reported that bug upstream too (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2712680&group_id=3581&atid=353581) but I am not sure the project is still active, so maybe it should be patched in Arch. |
