 Posted: Sat Jan 13, 2018 11:05 pm Post subject: [SOLVED]Keyboard w/ integrated UsbHub doesn’t work in USB2.0 |
 |
|
I have a keyboard with USB passthrough, which I use to connect a mouse. The keyboard works fine out of the box in both windows and arch linux, but only works in gentoo under specific circumstances. It has to be plugged to a USB 3.0 port while the laptop is on AC – if it’s on battery it stops working. I know that the power output of the USB port is not to blame because this doesn’t happen in windows or arch. Under USB 2.0 the keyboard is not recognized, but the mouse connected via passthrough is. Because my main workstation does not have USB 3.0 ports, this renders my keyboard completely useless.
I tried various kernel parameters that were suggested in threads where people complained of similar problems, but none of them worked. I am assuming that using an arch linux live cd (in which the keyboard does function perfectly) will allow me to diagnose which driver/module/kernel parameter is missing in gentoo, but I have no idea how to go about that.
In case it helps, below are a few lsusb’s:

| I would still be looking at kernel options or maybe init options. Are you using genkernel or rolling your own? Are you using systemd or openRC? |

Graf Zeppelin,
Welcome to Gentoo.
USB3 root hubs support both USB2 and USB1. Its a part of the standard.
USB2 root hubs in general, don't do USB1 without some help.
Check your kernel for | Code: | CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ROOT_HUB_TT=y
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED=y |
Thats one way to provide the help.
The other way, is with the USB1 driver itself. That's CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD an you have Intel USB2 haldware.

This did the trick, thank you!
Turns out, however, that apparently I can't reconfigure a kernel. I had tried the TT stuff before, with no results, but because I had polluted my kernel with so many options trying to troubleshoot this, I decided to reinstall gentoo. Both TT options alone got everything working perfectly with the first genkernel run, although they did nothing on my kernel reconfiguration attempts. Below is my procedure, could anyone tell me what I'm missing please?
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make && make install && make modules_install
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
It's great to finally get this issue out of the way, thank you very much for your help. |

Graf Zeppelin,
No
You have two places on your system called boot.
/boot is the directory on the root filesystem where the partition called boot needs to be mounted when you want to change its contents.
Installing things to the /boot in the directory on the root filesystem (and not the boot partition) is not an error but grub won't see them there.
By default the boot partition is not mounted. You need to do it by hand every time.
Tip: When you do a kernel update, check the time in before and after the reboot.
| Code: | $ uname -a
Linux NeddySeagoon_Static 4.15.0-rc8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 15 15:49:15 GMT 2018 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |
Mon Jan 15 15:49:15 GMT 2018 is the build time of the running kernel.
Its a popular Gentoo 'feature' to not be running the kernel you thing you are :)
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
mount /boot <----------
make && make install && make modules_install
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg |
Also make && make install && make modules_install builds the kernel using a single core. make.conf is not used.
| Code: | | make -jX && make install && make modules_install |
Where X is your cores+1 or whatever, is a bit faster on most processors.
