opensuse 13.2 - KDE, USB 3.0 port not working

English Hardware
#1

Hello. [size=2][size=3][size=2][size=3]I have a Kingston 64gig USB 3.0 flash drive. [/size][/size][/size]When I tried to plug it into a USB 3.0 port, I get a message saying “unable to mount”. Neither port works. The drive name appears, but the right- click “safely remove” entry is not there. Flash drive works fine in MSWIN7-64.[/size]

OPENSUSE 13.2 - KDE

MSI Computer Corp. Motherboard North Bridge AMD 970 & South Bridge AMD SB950 Chipset ATX DDR3 800 AMD AM3+ Motherboards (970A-G46)[size=3]
AMD 3.8 quad core - 8 gigs of memory
[/size]
Ports: 12x USB 2.0 Ports(6 rear, 6 by header); 2x USB 3.0 Ports(2 rear)

How can I fix this? Thanks.

#2

I’d start by examining the kernel output when the device is plugged in. (Let us know if you don’t how to do that.) Anything unusual? Have you checked for existing bug reports? (IIRC, there was a thread or two describing similar problematic behaviour with USB 3 Kingston devices.)[/size]

How do I get kernel output?

How do I get kernel output?

I’m not sure why you posted those 3 links, but in any case read post#9 of the thread about External HD not being recognised. Knurpht gives the commands needed

#5

Have you checked for existing bug reports?

This is what I could find on a web search. How to show kernel error messages? Not fix it.

#6

does it work in a usb2.0 port?

#7

Read the post and enter the commands in a terminal. It is for diagnostics!

#8

I tried that, it didn’t work. Also, I did an update for removing an old sound card and adding motherboard audio. So, i’ll try plugging into the USB 2.0 port again.

Next, I plugged in the USB 3.0 drive and clicked open. I couldn’t find the messages log.

It is likely that rsyslogd is not in use. (That can be activated if you still want to log to /var/log/messages.)

Okay, so the above looks as expected.

The following command to confirm storage devices

/sbin/fdisk -l

and then check what is mounted

mount
#10

I would try and run dolphin in super user mode.

sudo dolphin. Maybe you can’t mount the drive? I haven’t read to see where your at currently in your trouble shooting.

#11

No, there should be no need to access this drive with root privileges. The first step is to determine that the device is being recognised and handled correctly - and that seems to be the case based on the kernel messaging from the OP’s last post. Then we determine why it isn’t being mounted, assuming that is actually the case.

#12

Is he seeing a notification??

The drive is not mounted in KDE until you use it for something unless you change a setting.

Also there have been known problems with USB 3.0. Some hardware just does not like Linux. Try a 2.0 port

#13

Yes, I have KDE configured (via the notifier settings) to mount the media automatically.

Also there have been known problems with USB 3.0. Some hardware just does not like Linux. Try a 2.0 port

Yes, as I already hinted at in my first reply. However, the dmesg output looks okay to me.

The above indicates the paritioning-type, but we need to determine specific file system format . Check what is reported by the following?

blkid
#17

‘blkid’ I viewed, but forget to save. I’ll get to that Thursday. Here’s another thread that might be connected to this problem. I conclude it’s not the USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports, but the drive format. Read this forum post.
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/505568-exFAT-not-mounting-drives-and-devices

My flash drive was preformed EXFAT. FAT32 supports up to 95 gig (I think). If I format the Kingston 64gig as FAT32 and restore files from backup, it should mount and read/write. It’s a workaround until the bug is fixed. I’ll try this Thursday.

NFTS= READ
FAT32= READ/WRITE
EXFAT= can’t mount

If opensuse NFTS write works, formatting it in NFTS might work as well.

#18

That’s where I was heading. That’s why I requested more information about the formatting :wink:

Yep. Use what works :slight_smile:

#19

I’ll save blkid for later.

If I use windows to download on a high speed connection to an NFTS flash drive, copy NFTS to FAT32. An OPENSUSE ISO will fail to copy, but < 4gb will copy. So, the better way would be too format the flash 64gb in NFTS. Copy NFTS to linux. Then delete the files using mswin? Can OPENSUSE 13.2 write in NFTS?

Sorry for double posting, but I want to make sure everyone sees this.

#20

Do you mean NTFS?? that is the Windows NT file system. Don’t know what NFTS is???

But any 32 bit thing is limited to 4gig that is the address space of 32 gig exFAT was made for that restriction. but MS has patents so reproducing reading writing this format can be a legal challenge. Technically it is not that hard it is legal that is the problem for open source people. Apple of course is not open source and also are rolling in money so they just bought the rights to use MS stuff. Everyone else has to do work arounds.
