Can't seem to get the USB redirector to work.  I suspect I have to enable but am unsure of how to do that. I've tried a variety of methods to start the daemon to no effect (I am however new to Linux and systems).   All I can bring up is this message.  I'm using Ubuntu Trusty.

 

******************** ERROR ***********************

Cannot connect to USB Redirector daemon.

Please make sure usbsrvd is loaded. If the module

is not loaded, please contact our support team.

Error log can be found at /var/log/usbsrvd.log

**************** **************** ****************

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

USB redirector stops working on kernel 4.x .. I already notify the author. You need to use legacy kernel.

I have a problem with USB Redirector too...

 

Try to start the daemon with "sudo  usbsrvd start". Can't see the daemon to be active but have below in /var/log/usbsrvd.log

Wed Dec 31 23:59:22 1969
 Daemon startup
Wed Dec 31 23:59:22 1969
 Daemon can not be started!
Module 0x0003 Line 30 Error 0

Wed Dec 31 23:59:22 1969
 Daemon shutdown

Not sure why date is displayed as Dec 31st 1969 and why time is 23:59:22

 

Anything I overlooked ? Any action to be performed to enable the service (description indicates: (disabled by default /etc/init.d/rc.usbsrvd))...

Also not sure if the hint "USB redirector stops working on kernel 4.x .." is relevant to my problem. I use Kernel version: 3.14.14 as delivered in version 2.6

 

Thank you for support

 

NB: I wouldn't have a problem to re-install USB Redirector, however, I am not sure which one to download and install: armle, armbe, armv5b

This one:

NB: thanks for all support - you perform a great job !

I keep wondering - is it the same software, or the company developed the alternative https://www.eltima.com/incentivespro-alternative-eltima-usb-redirector.html

 

Do you know anything about it?
