Attempting to get DisplayLink USB 3.0 to HDMI working

Hello, I am attempting to get a DisplayLink USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter to work and I am having some difficulties. I attempted to follow the Arch Wiki on this but had no luck.
My main issue is that when I run "# xrander --listproviders" I do not see my DisplayLink adapter at all. Here is my output.
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x90 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 5 associated providers: 0 name:Intel
Provider 1: id: 0x62 cap: 0x7, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:nouveau
I did try blacklisting the udlfb kernel module and loading the udl, followed by a reboot, but that didn't change the output.
I also read a bit about an old package called xf86-video-fbdev-for-displaylink, but it seems as though that is no longer in the Arch repo's.

Displaylink3 is using HDCP encryption, which will need to be figured out if these things are to work in Linux. Dave Airlie, a long time Linux graphics developer, has been poking around with it a few months ago, but nothing came of it. You can read his adventures at his blog: http://airlied.livejournal.com/
Basically, for now these things are unusable in Linux. "Content protection" FTW!
Greeeaattt! So would a DisplayLink 2 adapter work better? I'm sure I can still return this one at my local Micro Center and get a different cable if need be.
EDIT
I'm having a hard time finding specs on most of these adapters, and on the ones I do see, they are all DL 3. If someone knows of ANY USB to HDMI adapter that's known to work with Arch, please let me know.

Cannot get HP USB Hybrid TV Tuner to work properly or al all

Purchased HP Pavillion dv7-3188cl laptop because I believed it would allow me to record TV programs. That was 3 weeks ago. Then ordered the TV Tuner which arrived about 2 weks ago. Had much trouble during tuner setup/install process which MAY have messed up some things on the PC. Anyway I was advised by HP to try tuner on a different computer and it worked OK on a Windows 7 desktop using both the TV antenna and also a coax feed from WOW using ATSC digital.
I tried setup again on the target PC and am getting messages like "No Tuner Available" "Resource being used by Another Program" or words to that effect. Also, during one of the software setups I tried, one message said that if I continued "Playback would stop" and I did not know what playback I had asked for. Finally, when I ask Windows to safely remove hardware, the Tuner shows up, but then it cannot be released because another program has it. Could my many installations of the driver, setups on Media Center and HP Media Smart, etc. be all tangled up?
I want to be able to setup a analog cable feed, but I am also having the same problems if I try a digital cable connection.

Sorry for bumping this dead topic, but it is relevant to my current situation. I would like to eject my HP USB Analog Digital TV Tuner so I can free up one of my three USB ports. However, attempting to remove it via the "Eject Device" menu results in the same "Another program is using this device" error that funtodo is getting. Moreover, when I bypass the "Eject Device" menu and remove the Tuner, I cannot put my laptop into sleep mode until the next time I start it up (attempts result in the laptop freezing on a black screen, not falling asleep but not allowing me to abort Sleep Mode either; eventually the screen turns blue and deathly.

Help needed getting a USB to serial adaptor to work

I have a new Mac Mini but an not getting my serial adaptors to be seen by the OS (10.7)
Any ideas please

Here’s a way to get you PL2303-based Serial-USB adapter working with OS X Lion (10.7). Based on the osx-pl2303 project on github, I’ve built a kernel extension that works with OS X Lion. You can grab the kext file here or from the link below.
Installing the kext file can be done in a few easy steps:
download and extract
cd /path/to/osx-pl2303.kext
cp -R osx-pl2303.kext /System/Library/Extensions/
next you need to fix permissions and execute bits:
cd /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R 755 osx-pl2303.kext
chown -R root:wheel osx-pl2303.kext
cd /System/Library/Extensions
kextload ./osx-pl2303.kext
kextcache -system-cache
Good luck!

K7n2 usb 2.0 ports not working

I have a K7N2 motherboard with a brand new install of Windows XP Home Edition with sp1. I have downloaded all the latest updates from Microsoft as well as updated my Award bios to v3.4. Running a XP 2100 with 512mb of Corsair ddr333 memory and a Geforce4 Ti4600 video card. I have installed the nforce driver pack 2.03 as well as nvidia graphics driver 44.04.
The problem is that I can not get my USB 2.0 ports to work at all either with a 2.0 device or a 1.1. In my device manager, it goes as far as to list 4 "unkown usb device" lines as well as the controller hub and root hubs.
Any suggestions?

[SOLVED] Attempting to boot from USB key in UEFI mode

I am attempting to boot from a USB Key in UEFI mode to dual boot windows 8 and arch linux. I'm unsuccessful in getting the USB key to boot in UEFI mode.
I am following the guide on page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … _Interface due to the fact that I am receiving error " No loader found. Configuration files in /loader/entries/*.conf are needed."
I am attempting to use the archiso media and have created refind.conf according to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31894#comment102233 in (USB)/EFI/boot/refind.conf
However, I'm stuck on the initial step from the wiki: Install refind-efi pkg. In the usb's filesystem, overwrite the file EFI/boot/bootx64.efi with /usr/lib/refind/refind_x64.efi.
My question is: How do I install the refind-efi package onto the USB key using an arch linux host machine and the USB plugged into the machine.

This is my thought, too. The "memory map has changed" message sounds like the firmware is messing with the way memory is laid out in the middle of the boot process. A firmware update, if available, is likely to be the best way to deal with this problem. If not, trying Fedora's patched GRUB Legacy and GRUB 2 are also worth doing; it's conceivable that one of them includes a workaround for the problem.
2. In your first posting you mention Windows 8 on this machine. Is W8 starting in uefi mode?
This is important, but if the disk uses GPT partitioning, then Windows is starting in EFI mode.
3. If W8 is starting in uefi mode, are you sure that secure boot is disabled?
It is; if it weren't, neither rEFInd nor ELILO could start -- or even if they were configured to start in Secure Boot mode, ELILO doesn't launch its kernels in a way that respects Secure Boot, so the ELILO failure can't be caused by Secure Boot. Also, when launched with Secure Boot active, rEFInd returns a clear error message about a security violation and then returns to its main menu; it doesn't hang the computer.
One possible workaround occurs to me if all else fails: Have rEFInd launch a BIOS version of GRUB. The setup procedure, in outline, is as follows:
Create a BIOS Boot Partition on the disk.
Install the BIOS version of GRUB 2.
Configure rEFInd to include a scan for BIOS-mode boot loaders by uncommenting the "scanfor" line in refind.conf and adding "hdbios" to it.
Thereafter, you'll see a new "generic" icon, which should launch GRUB, which should launch Linux in BIOS mode, even though Windows launches in EFI mode. This will work on most modern UEFI-based computers with a single hard disk, but things get trickier with multiple disks and with some UEFI implementations that lack the necessary firmware features. If a future firmware update fixes the problem, or if a future kernel's EFI stub loader includes a workaround, the EFI-mode booting will become an option once again.

Displaylink usb monitor adapter - working but still a few issues

hello,
i didn't want to necro this post
so at work i'm using arch on a 2013 mac air. works very well.
i have a 2nd monitor using the mini-displayport, works very well.
i can run this in portrait or landscape mode.
i was given a displaylink usb to dvi external monitor link. i believe it is this model.
so, i followed the directions on the wiki...
- installed `xf86-video-fbdev`
- blacklisted `udl`
- and ran `xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0`
now in arander i can enable the 3rd monitor and use it
but there are 2 remaining issues:
1. i can only use the external monitors in landscape mode. if i rotate it into portrait x crashes. when i do not use the usb link the mini-dp monitor works in portrait, but w/ both neither can be in portrait mode
2. i cannot seem to script the `xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0` in my .xinirc file. i tried to run it in the beginning or at the end right before loading my wm (herbstluftwm) and neither seems to work.
any suggestions?
thank you
--- update ---
so i wrote a script that automates the xrandr provider output source bits. it's kind of hacky but i can live w/ it. i still cannot get monitors in portrait mode ;~;

This is what I am running:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
MODULES=(fuse !eeepc_laptop !snd-pcsp)
and I load eeepc_laptop in the background in rc.local - that makes my boot considerably faster.
For daemons:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng crond hal rpcbind nfs-common netfs wicd alsa @laptop-mode @firestarter @openntpd)
You can replace fam with gaim (and you don't need it in your daemons) and you don't need dbus...

Yes, it does. Right to where I am supposed to log in, but since the USB is not working (either mouse or keyboard), I'm stuck. I have to shut down and restart and boot into windows.

How do I get my USB to wireless printer on a network without a computer?

If you have a USB to Wireless printer and no computer to use the software to do this and do not want to use the WPS option (or it is not available), then the following method may help.
This is intended to get a USB to wireless, like the Deskjet 3512 printer, on the wireless network when there is no computer available. However, this can work from a computer as well if you prefer not to install the software.
For these steps, I will use an iPad.
1. The printer will broadcast a wireless network of its own. This usually has HP Setup and the model of the printer listed in the network name. Connect a wireless device to this network.
2. Once connected, open the browser. In my case, this is Safari.
3. Enter the 192.168.223.1 address in the address and press go to access the printer's status page.
4. Once there, there will be many tabs at the top. Select Network.
5. Select Wireless Setup Wizard.
6. Select Next at the bottom.
7. It will search for available networks. Select your network from the list and select next. The network should be highlighted, select it again if it is not.
8. It will ask for the password. Enter the password and select Next at the bottom.
9. The printer should now be connected to the network. It may take a few minutes to reflect this. Reconnect the computer or mobile device back to your regular network and it should be good to go.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

If you are able to go to other websites, then the iPad is not connected to the printer's network. The first step is absolutely key for this process to work and that is to connect the iPad to the printer's broadcasted network.
For the steps to work, the printer will need to be connected to the printer's SSID for the printer's IP address to load.
While connected to the printer's SSID, there will be no internet connection so no websites will be able to load.
The steps provided are for mostly newer model printers that have the 192.168.223.1 address reserved in them. However, older printers use a 169.254.X.X address.
What model is your printer? You may need to connect the iPad to the printer and then print a network config page off the printer to get the proper address for the printer.

How do I get my USB accessory to charge?

QuestionHow do I get my USB accessory to charge?
AnswerAter upgrading to Windows 8.1, you may have noticed that a USB device no longer charges via USB like it did in Windows 8 or earlier versions of Windows. This might be related to new power management features introduced in Windows 8.1. To resolve the issue, try obtaining an updated driver for your device by the accessory's manufacturer.
Alternatively, Microsoft has steps that advanced users can take. For information on this procedure, please see the following article:
Some USB devices do not recharge in Windows 8.1
You may also find helpful information in this article:

How do I get iPhone USB back to network preferences?

I (like many others) couldn't get the USB tethering to work after (probably) installing new iTunes 10.7.
I managed to delete iPhone USB from network preferences before reading all about this kext stuff etc that are being posted here.
I have now tried:
- uninstalling iTunes 10.7
- installing iTunes 10.6.3
- installing AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext v2.2.0
- installing AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext v2.3.0
- installing AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext v2.3.6
- re-installing iTunes 10.7
+ rebooting / connecting iPhone via USB
None of these has made iPhone USB come back to network list.
Any ideas how to get it back?
I'm running OS X 10.6.8.

Has everyone else managed to fix this or am I the only one who deleted iPhone USB from network preferences?

How to get a USB-Serial connector working

I have a laptop with only USB ports, I'm trying to get a USB Serial connector working. I can't find a good guide on how to do it, I can figure out that i need to enable some sort of kernel options, but I'm not sure about how to go about doing it. Can someone hold my hand and tell me what I need to do to get it working?
Thanks

It depends on what kind of USB->Serial you have. Some common ones are:
cp2101
ftdi_sio
pl2303
And those kernel modules are all included with Arch (along with lots more).
I'd start by just plugging it in and running dmesg to see if your kernel/udev detected it. If you see something about ttyUSB0 then you got it. Just open that device as you would open a normal serial port.
If it doesn't report anything, run lsusb and see what kind of chip it has.
If it does report it, I would use minicom to interact with it.
(Run "minicom -s" as root and set the device to /dev/ttyUSB0, baud to 9600 (or whatever) 8N1. Turn off Hardware and Software flow control. Finally go into Modem and Dialing and delete the init line (unless you are actually dialing)).
