[RLUG] Linux + Flash Drives

[Dennis Bagley]

Thanks for the heads up, Todd.  Had same problem under Knoppix

BUT

it made me think of something else also very simple (of course and 
obvious too, duh.) 
I have two USB ports in front and 6 in back.
The ones in back work just fine - under Knoppix or Ubuntu, so I can at least
(mostly) work around the issue.

However, there is still power going to the ones in front, because if I 
plug in either
my PDA or Motorola phone - they start charging.

Now taking that a step further, I was attempting to work with moto4lin 
and kmobiletools
while I had a Motorola cell phone plugged into the front ports.

So as I trace things back - it appears that something having to do with 
that process has probably ^&#$ed the
front usb ports &/or controller.  I made sure neither package was 
running after I re-booted but still no joy when I
plug in a USB device in front.

Ideas on how they might be resurrected?

Dennis
