Hi there,
When I plug my iPod using the USB cable I get the 'Do not
disconnect' screen on the ipod. It's great because I can see the ipod
is charging. But to listen to music I do not understand what I need to
do. I tried:
$ eject /dev/sda
-> return an error
Then I tried :
$ sudo rmmod usb_storage
So you're shutting down the entire USB storage subsystem. Good thing
you don't have any other USB-based hard disks plugged in at the same
time!
It works, I can listen to music again, but even if the cable is
pluged it does not seems to be charging...
That makes sense. USB devices have to "request" how much power-draw
they want to pull from the host. If you kill the "stuff" that talks
to USB devices, they can't request power.
