I was getting an infinite number of "Maybe the cable is bad" errors in dmesg about a usb port. It insisted on referring to "usb2-port5" when everything else in linux talks about things like 0000:00:14.0 or lsusb says things like Bus 001 Device 004. Is there some reference somewhere on the internet to translate between all the different ways linux talks about usb ports? It would be really handy to be able to know what it is talking about instead of having to unplug every usb cable one at a time. Incidentally: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 045b:0210 Hitachi, Ltd is an external usb disk and is definitely NOT the usb2-port5 it was yelling about. That message finally stopped when I unplugged a USB hub that lsusb didn't mention 2 or 5 about :-(. (I think I plugged a well and truly broken usb device into the hub a day or so ago and it permanently confused it till I unplugged the hub - that device now resides in the electronics recycle bin at the nearby dump :-). _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
