Cool GUI tool for USB troubleshooting - usbview

[oshunluvr]

I was fiddling with an old USB GPS device I found while cleaning out some boxes of old computer stuff. While searching various tools to see if I could get it to work, I ran across usbview

Instead running 3-4 CLI commands to get USB device details, install and run "sudo usbtool"

Thanks for sharing!
I will certainly have a look at it next time when I have to find out something USB-related.

KInfocenter is also useful for this (among other things), though without as much detail. By quite a bit, if you go by my webcam.

I was fiddling with the USB GPS but also a PIV/CAC card reader. I needed some details to get the GPS working but the card reader worked pretty much OTB.

I did get the GPS working but not getting enough signal here in my office, LOL

Perhaps ask a co-worker where you are? ;-)

I also use a CAC reader, if I don't have my customer issued laptop. To make the CAC work, I just followed the Linux guidance at militarycac.com. Yep, works great!
