USB Ports In Wrong Mode, How To Use usbmodeswitch?
- by user86872
I haven't had access to my USB ports as media devices for a couple days now. I've been reading and researching everything I can find but I can't find a good guide for usbmodeswtich or usbms that I can decipher. The USB's are fine for power, but won't support my android phone as a media device, which is killing me because I use adb everyday, and won't support my plug and play mouse any longer. Not sure what caused the switch, though I think it may be related to the suspend issue I've read about, but the solutions in those threads I read also didn't work. Below is my system information and details.
System: Ubuntu 12.04, 64-bit, Dedicated Machine
Machine: HP-Pavillion g6 notebook, AMD A6 Quad Core Processor
USBs used for: Cooling dock, Android Debug Bridge, Wireless Mouse
Attempted Mod Probe, udev restart, unable to attempt lsusb due to my own lack of knowledge. :)
