You don't have the USB module loaded or it isn't compiled into your kernel. Peter Teoh <htmldeveloper@gmail.com> wrote:
I entered "lsusb" at the command line (as root) and nothing is return, not even any error message.
Doing a strace the last few lines are:
open("/dev/bus/usb", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/proc/bus/usb", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
What happened?
This is Ubuntu 10.04 (it used NOT to be like that, not sure I what did wrong last time). But running a VirtualBox INSIDE this same OS, I was able to get result from "lsusb" (after enabling the USB devices in VirtualBox interface) and strace gives result:
open("/dev/bus/usb/001/002", O_RDWR) = 3 ioctl(3, USBDEVFS_IOCTL, 0xbff6f75c) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) close(3) = 0 open("/dev/bus/usb/001/001", O_RDWR) = 3
Why the difference?
