IRTrans Support Forum

Hi,

I was in the process of reusing my IR tranceiver, after not using it for a few years, but on connecting it to my Ubuntu box I get the following error (copied from dmesg output)

[ 3558.219320] usb 2-4.4: new full-speed USB device number 11 using ehci_hcd
[ 3558.333673] ftdi_sio 2-4.4:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected

[ 3558.444700] ftdi_sio 2-4.4:1.0: device disconnected

I am using:
Ubuntu 12.04 (64bit)
kernel (uname -r) 3.2.0-34-generic

Any help would be highly appreciated.

The issue was the VBox virtual server running which was grabbing the USB device as well. I turned that off in the settings of the VM, and everything is good now.
