   USB problem with Slackware 15.0   
   06 May 22 07:36:00   
   
   From: NoEMail@home.org   
      
   I've never had as many problems with a new distribution as   
   with 15.0 I hope there was a good reason to have so many   
   configuration changes. ssh doesn't work the same as it did.   
   Console display defaults to UTF-8, yada yada...   
      
   I don't seem to be able to get a USB storage device   
   recognized. After building gpsbabel I get:   
   Failed to claim interface 0: Device or resource busy   
   error. Searching for a solution this is supposed to work:   
      
   echo -n "1-1:1.0" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb-storage/unbind   
      
   but this results in:   
      
   -bash: echo: write error: No such device   
      
   I'm not even sure what the echo is supposed to do, but   
   it doesn't fix the problem. Same problem for a standard   
   USB drive.   
      
   Anybody have a solution?   
      
   Is there some documentation of what changes from 14.2   
   were necessary and the best workaroung.   
      
   I got rsync to work by:   
      
   alias rsync="/usr/bin/rsync --protcol=3.1.3"   
      
   Without this it seems to regard separate drives on the   
   same system as being remote requiring ssh comunication.   
   That's my guess because it screws around with the   
   known_hosts file.
