[arch-general] Apple Super Drive and Arch Linux?
Hi, has anyone used the Apple Super Drive external DVD writer with Arch Linux yet? You need to send some magic byte sequence to enable it. The method [0] has worked for me on all debian-based distributions I've used so far, but as I tried it on my Arch Linux today, it didn't work. 1. Super Drive is not visible as /dev/sr0 after being plugged in, only as /dev/bus/usb/001/0xx 2. "sudo sg_raw /dev/bus/usb/001/010 EA 00 00 00 00 00 01" fails with error message "do_scsi_pt: Inappropriate ioctl for device" lsusb lists "Bus 001 Device 010: ID 05ac:1500 Apple, Inc. SuperDrive [A1379]" and dmesg says "usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd". I installed sg3_utils from extra. I suspect Arch Linux being the problem, since it worked on debian before. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Lukas [0]: https://christianmoser.me/use-apples-usb-superdrive-with-linux/
Uh, you could check debian's syslog on plug-in and module list to compare with arch. Maybe they have soe kernel configuration / module enabled - or some other tool - to make this work? cheers! mar77i
Thanks, I'll investigate on that! Am 07.12.2016 um 23:13 schrieb Martin Kühne via arch-general:
