usb_modeswitch on eeePC with Option 7.2 (UK orange)

Post by HowardC » 08 Jan 2008, 19:57

Installed as directed. typed:
sudo bash
usb_modeswitch

It then reports
bash: /sbin/usb_modeswitch: permission denied

Im learning linux as I go so please forgive me if I've missed something really simple. The model is UK vendor orange 'tweaked', will I therefore probably need to try and sniff vendor settings? I'm hoping it will just work.

Great (and thankfully for eee users small package) just hope I can get it working!

First I'd suggest to "cd /sbin" and then type "ls -l usb_modeswitch".

This looks like a file permission thing to me. Furthermore, are you sure that you're "root"? When I need to have a root shell I just type "su -".
