Hello lizards. It’s a couple of weeks that I installed the 13.1 suse. After repeated installations it works fine but it does some double operations. If I attach my tablet to the PC the system sees 2 devices. And some commands return strange outcome:
linux-rxbz:/home/vincent # uname -a
Linux linux-rxbz 3.11.10-17-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 16 15:28:13 UTC 2014 (fba7c1f) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
See the x86_64 repeated 3 times in the uname -a command?
The lspci command shows more usb dev than they are:
But the strangest is the dmesg command output. Oh I tried to post the dmesg screen but it is useless. It prints pages and pages of output. And most of those lines are nonsense.
Do you have any advice. How can I find what is the problem and fix it?
That’s normal.
One is the “machine” (“uname -m”), one is the “processor” (“uname -p”), and one is the “hardware platform” (“uname -i”).
See also “man uname”.
The lspci command shows more usb dev than they are:
That looks normal as well.
Those devices are there, I suppose.
But the strangest is the dmesg command output. Oh I tried to post the dmesg screen but it is useless. It prints pages and pages of output. And most of those lines are nonsense.
dmesg prints the whole kernel log.
Of course that could be large.
Pipe it to less to browse through the pages:
dmesg | less
(press SPACE for the next page, ‘b’ for the previous one, ‘G’ for the last one, “1G” for the first one, ‘h’ for help)
Do you have any advice. How can I find what is the problem and fix it?
Not really, but maybe the tablet really presents itself as two devices?

The tablet is the ASUStek line. So here is seen as one device.
What does the 7 lines … Device 001 … root hub mean?
So you mean the device notifier?
Could you post a picture (upload it to a image sharing site like http://susepaste.org and post a link) of that?
And please post the output of:
solid-hardware list
And maybe connect the tablet and post the output of “dmesg|tail”.
But I don’t think this is related to installation problems.
Either it’s caused by the tablet itself, or there is a bug somewhere in openSUSE (the kernel or udisks2 probably).
This is the lsusb outcome:

Looks ok as well. The device is only there once as expected.

Those are your system’s USB hubs, i.e. the USB ports themselves where you can connect devices, so to say.
Ok, so there’s an unnamed device, and one labelled “Android”.
And another “anomaly” I see there is that “Open with File Manager” is duplicated as well. That’s definitely not normal.
Does this happen with other devices as well? (USB-sticks f.e.)
Maybe you already played around with the configuration and created a second entry by mistake?
The solid-hardware is:
Hm, it doesn’t seem to be detected as drive at all.
Probably because it can only be accessed via MTP, it doesn’t present itself as “drive”.
But I think it should show up there anyway. Was it connected at the time when you ran that command?
About thise system usb ports. I have only 3 usb ports. Also in the lspci command I see more than 6 of them. Not normal I think.
Believe me, this is normal.
Those hubs are there in your hardware, although they might not be connected to ports in your computer’s case.
But that’s completely unrelated to your probem anyway.
If it’s just some bug from the KDE manager it is not a big deal.
Do you have any problem? (except for the fact that you see the device twice)
Can you open the tablet? Do both entries work, only one, or none?
Maybe the tablet can be accessed via two different protocols, and that’s why it appears twice.
Or maybe one is the internal storage, and the other one an inserted memory card or something?
I have to say that I have absolutely no experience with Android devices at all, so cannot tell you whether this is normal or not.
