usb mass storage device not appear in slack 14.0

WiseDraco · 07-03-2013, 05:43 AM

some days ago i found -
i have an simple telephone with mini-usb - huawei g2800 - when connect it to computer via usb, it prompt on screen ( phone) to chose - connect it to computer as serial device, or mass storage device.
i found, it can not appear on my slack64 14.0 desktop as usb mass storage, nor on my netbook with slack 32 bit 14.0
on slack 32 bit 13.37 on my work place all works very well -

like thing and not further.
think it is may be because of 14.0 uses newer, 3.x series kernel, not good old 2.6 version, but anyway - not be very good situation.
waiting for arrived my android 4.1 chinese smartphone, and thinking - it is too not open as mass storage on my slack 14 systems, or...?

The lines after the blank one are the output after I press "Activate mass USB storage' on the phone. Only after that device /dev/sdc appears in output of 'cat /proc/partitions' and I can mount it as usual.

yes, on your situation all, looks like, works ok. on mine is similar - first portion, before activating on phone "connect as mass storage" - is looks like the same in both my versions. difference is - in 13.37 after activating "mass storage" i get that additional kernel output as "find /dev/sdc /sdd and so" - and appear a new discs.
in 14.0 after i activating on phone"connect as mass storage" - computer do nothing. nothing new in dmesg too...
