160G palmsize HD to N800.......working! - Page 5 - maemo.org

I try to disconnect properly but if I plug the flash into to already connected hub there is no icon or the other symptom I've had the problem where there's an icon but doesn't want to disconnect when I plugged the flash drive into the hub. I'm sure that could be part of the problem.
Do you mind if we take a bit of a poll here?

1. Who has a successfully running hard drive?
2. Who is having similar problems to me?
3. who is having other problems?

This is probably mindless but it might point to my hub arrangement - either not enough power or speed???
TIA

No hard-drive here, but similar things about the flash drive and separately powered hub; timing is key, which connections in what order.

I

'm glad I'm not the only one doing things you think is right but apparently totally wrong...
Is this "bug" in the software or an underpowered hub or a timing issue. Is there some how to follow through. I've almost given up. A great mind exercise however - it would be nice to solve it mind you.

cyber,

Is your NIT a N810?

Mine is a N800. There is a bug in some of N810s (https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3026), are you aware of that?
For my N800 I have no problem of connecting to anything through a USB hub. I just put a command under "Statusbar Graph Controll" as "hostmode-toggle" ( sh -c 'echo /usr/bin/hostmode| sudo gainroot' ) to toggle the modes and having no problems.

I never know there was bug. All I know, is plug and unplug your USB device will wake up the change. Thanks,

Hi nhanquy

I have the N800 but I will try this as it seems to have some of the symptoms described. Late tonight when I got home but will look at it in the morning...

Well, there's nothing immediately obvious. These lines make me suspect your powered hub (in with20Gdrive.txt), but I'm just guessing here:

Code:

[20391.632812] musb_stage0_irq 569: VBUS_ERROR in a_suspend (90, <VBusValid), retry #0, port1 00000507
...
[20391.789062] tusb_otg_ints 837: vbus too slow, devctl 91

It looks a bit like your hub is not doing suspend properly. Can you try with another brand of powered hub?
