Mouse with PS/2 to USB adapter not working

I recently got a laptop and decided to switch from Ubuntu to Arch Linux, and apart from not having 3D acceleration for my graphics card, most things are working quite fine. Because I don't have 3D acceleration, one of the few games I can play is Unreal Tournament, but I don't want to play that with a touchpad, so I get a USB adapter for my PS/2 mouse, but it doesn't work for some reason.
It doesn't show up in lsusb, and the only clue I can get from dmesg is a single error saying it was "Unable to enumerate device".
Re-plugging it doesn't make any difference, nor does booting with it plugged in. Any clues as to why?
As a sidenote, I wasn't sure if I should make this thread here, but I consider a mouse hardware, and driver detection (as well as usb device detection?) has to do with the kernel. If I'm in the wrong place, please move this thread.

I am having a similar problem.I am using a Kinesis contour ps2 keyboard designed both for Mac and Windows system (132MPC). At $300 to replace it is not the sort of kit you just want to toss without good need. I have a kinesis and a belkin ps2-usb adapter. The Belkin worked for a very few minutes and then quit. The Kinesis never worked. I have downloaded and installed the Darwin PS2 kext file (ApplePS2Controller.kext) ...but that is for an x86 system so it can not help me...even if it would help me at all. Controller mate sees my keyboard (and the usb mouse I have converted through the adapter) but it does not recognize any input from the keyboard. I get hung at the 'type the key to hre fight of the left hand shift key' point. The keyboard is fine on windows machines...through ps2 port and via the ps2-usb adapters (both of them). I am quite happy mucking around in the bowels of my machine in su mode. Any suggestions??

Archive file with errors in sender file adapter not working! please help!

Hi Experts,
I have a file to RFC scenario. the input is a XML file. I have setup the flag in sender file adapter channel for archiving the input files with errors. But it is not working.
For testing I have used an invalid xML file for example without the main XML tag. I have also tested with a MSWORD file saved with.xml extension. But in both the cases the files are not getting archived.
My archive location permissions are fine and in fact normal archive operation is happening. That is, if I select the processing mode as "Archive" and gave the Archive directory then files are getting archived. The problem is only with the "Archive faulty source files" option.
What am I missing? DO I need to do some more configurations?
What are the prerequisites if any for this option?
How to test this?
Please help me! I will be greatfull to you all!
Thanks & Regards
Gopal

StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521

Side Note: I wrote a reply to a thread that was from 2013. I do apologize because the link was sent to me by my bf and I did not realize how old it was. Since my reply has to be approved I can't delete it.
Current Issue: StarTech Adapter not working with Dell Inspiron 15 model 3521
I bought my Dell laptop last year and at first I did not realize that it had only one audio jack (combo, as the specifications manual says), I only noticed when I was trying to plug in my Ozone Rage ST headset.
I searched online threads and found out that I needed an adapter and most people mentioned Headset Buddy. I couldn't find any adapters for sale in my country (or employees didn't really know what I was talking about) and since Headset Buddy is a bit expensive, I decided to try StarTech Headset adapter for headsets with separate headphone/microphone plugs - 3.5mm 4 position to 2x 3 position 3.5mm M/F www.amazon.com/.../ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top.
It arrived today and let me tell you that I can't make it work. I can hear everything but I can't get the external mic to work or even be detected. I have always used my headset (mostly for gaming) and I prefer to use my external mic rather than the internal one. First I connected my headphone and mic jacks to the adapter and only after that did I connect it to the laptop combo jack. I also tried vice-versa. It didn't work, regardless of the order. I even tried with a different headset and it still didn't work. What else can I do?
I have also found a thread on Dell forums saying that Headset Buddy doesn't even work on Dell Inspiron 15, model 3521. So since it doesn't work and I'm assuming StarTech doesn't, either, what am I to do/buy?! I am getting extremely frustrated and I'm very disappointed with Dell because the brand should have included with the laptop a proper working adapter for these situations and not make its customers buy an extra accessory to make whatever working gear they already had function. It just doesn't make sense to me! Either make the changes work properly or simply don't touch anything. I spent some of my savings on this laptop which, overall, is great but now I am being forced to spend more on an item to allow me to use my headset. I am running out of options here and even Dell can't seem to tell its customers with 100% certainty what really works for this specific model.
If I can't make the adapter work, I just hope I can return it, otherwise I'll end up with no refund and with a piece of equipment I have no other use for!
Any thoughts?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
This is the first time I was forced to buy adapters such as these so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if there's anything else I can do to make it work. When I plug the adapter to my Dell, the laptop presents me with several options such as: headphones, headphone, speakers, skull candy headphones, etc (maybe some may have different names but since I see them in Portuguese, I'm not quite sure how they appear for someone who has the computer in English), I have picked different options and it still doesn't work, the only noticeable changes are sound quality related, I guess.

I use a two button mouse with my Mac Book Pro. It works fine, but after installing Lion, the mouse wheel goes in reverse of what it did (rolling the wheel towards your palm goes up not down the page). Anyone know how to fix this?

First sentence in OPs question:

I guess the track pad settings would look similar to my screen shot?

Accordion or Tabbed panel should to it, with click and open container.
Please provide site url where this does not work, also if you can provide an example where we can see the exact action then it would help us.

I am running 10.8 and I am trying to get a E-mu 1x1 midi/usb connector to work with my keyboards. It's not working with any keyboard at all. I believe it is a Mainstage/Mac issue. Mainstage can recognize the the interface but it won't work.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

Need a wireless usb adapter that works with my iMac G4 Flatscreen

I have an iMac without an airport card. I am trying to find a thrid party solution. Does anyone know of a third party wireless usb adapter that works with my Mac?

Hi Bill I noticed that list you posted mainly shows devices that require purchasing 3rd party drivers from companies such as ioxperts.
If you use a device that has ralink chipset you can use their drivers free of charge.

Windows 7 (Ent) Sp1 on server 2012 R2 HyperV, RFX USB redirection not working

Hello,
I currently have windows server 2012 R2 with HyperV installed. I have built two virtual machines. A windows 8.1 and Windows 7 sp1. Both are enterprise editions
For RemoteFX the hypervisor is using a Zotec GTX 760 GPU. It recognizes it and uses it to apply remoteFX adapter on my Windows 7 Sp1 VM.
As you are aware I do not need to use a GPU to enable RFX on my Windows 8.1 it can do this without the need of a GPU.
Using an RDP client( v8.1) I can connect to my Windows 8.1 VM with a USB headset,memory Key or a printer and they all enumerate on the Virtual machine. The driver for each device installs
and I can use the device without any issues.
However this issue lies with the Windows 7 SP1 VM. I can connect to it via RDP( Same client) but I cannot redirect any devices to it. I have installed the latest integration services available on the VM. I have ran all updates available.
Because I have ran all updates the rdp version on the VM is running v8.1.
Previous to installing the updates USBr still was not working
I have enabled the following group polices under remote desktop services on the Windows 7 SP1 VM :
RDP 8.0 -- Enabled
Configure RFX -- Enabled
Is there a known issue with USB redirection not working on a Windows 7sp1 virtual machine hosted on server 2012 Hypervisor ??
Many Thanks
Brian

Hi,
According to the log above, I found that we run the script on both Server6 and Server7. Errors as below:
Server6: Conversion is not supported in restricted language mode or a Data section.
Server7: Couldn't figure out valid servers from the specified destination scope. Check your parameters and try again.
Since we can only run the RollAlternateserviceAccountPassword.ps1 Script on CAS server, the script not works well if Server6 is MBX server.
For Server7, based on the error message, it seems you still have no right to run the script/cmdlet.
Please add your account to Organization Management Role group(ADUC->domain.com->Microsoft Exchange Security Groups) to test if possible.

After shutdown & start PC, choosing to boot windows 7 on bootmanager, USB devices not working in Win-7.
System no hang or occur any error/BSOD message.All startup programs run as normal.
I tried to re-plug usb devices but notting happens... Still not working
But after the win-8.1 shutdown, if i switch off PSU power button, watting ~1 munute for discharge.
After power up PC and boot with windows 7 all usb devices works normaly.
I checked all internal connections. 2 times disassembly all hardware and re-built system, nothing changed.All windows updates and latest drivers installed.
I'm sure other H/W is OK, but I thnik this mobo have a fault.

SA30 USB do not work after reinstall, please help!!

Hi, my SA30's USB do not work at all after reintalling, I do not have the original CD with the laptop as it is a gift from my mate.... I couldnt find the driver from the website, please could anyone help me???
I could use the USB mouse but when I plug the external hard disk in, it has no responses, I tried to search for new hardware, it couldnt detect it. Any information would be appreciate, cheers.

When you instll another OS than the recovery OEM OS you have to install the drivers and tools in a right order!
This order is on the Tools & Utilities CD in a html file! When you follow these order all hardware should be detect!
Also you can go to http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com and download the drivers

My hdmi adapter not working anymore, no physical damage. Solution?

My hdmi adapter not working anymore, no physical damage. Solution?
Strange is, that i used it several times, it worked fine. Then wothout any reason (like software updete, etc) it just stopped workung, no sync.
I have not changed any parameters of my TV or Beamer.
Hardware:
Ipad 2, Apple Ipad HDMI Adapter, Samsung P2770FH, Optoma HD 65.
Thanks for any help.

I've only used mine a couple of times without any problem, but due to the thinness of the iPad, care has to be taken in inserting the adapter. Slightly wrong angle and it won't go it.
I had a laptop a few years ago where the USB connector failed. I had it replaced under the warantee, The service man told me it was not an uncommom failure on a laptop due to people "torquing" the USB socket while inserting/removing USB items. I have much the same feeling when inserting either the charger cord or my HDMI adapter.
From your description, unless the HDMI adapter failed internally, it sounds like the socket is causing the problem. A few days ago we watch our first movie from the iPad via my ATV2 and "Air Play". Worked great so I don't plan on using the HDMI adapter much at all in the future. Yes, it is a $99 solution, but it works for me. Of course, I already had the ATV2. I doubt if I would buy one just for this abiliity. If nothing else, it seems like a trip to the Apple Genius bar is in order for maybe a replacement unit.
However, with iOS 5 coming out with supposedly total mirroring, it might be worth thinking about getting an ATV2.

Hi,
What about if you try to install drivers from your product's page?
http://uk.msi.com/support/mb/Z97-GAMING-5.html#down-driver
And when exactly it starts to fail to work? Did you try to have OS just installed, restart it and see if it works then? Are you able to determine which driver installation causes USBs to stop working?
thank you
i just remove USB3 controller driver and work
thank you all :D
