Maybe it's me, but usbview hasn't been working for me for a few releases now. Even when I have usb devices plugged in and working, usbview doesn't work. In fact I get the following message:


Code:
Can not open the file /proc/bus/usb/devices

Verify that you have USB compiled into your kernel, have the USB core modules loaded, and have the usbdevfs filesystem mounted
Like I said, I get this message even when usb devices are plugged in and working fine so I'm reluctant to recommend usbview as a good way to check if usb devices are detected right now...unless someone else has an explanation as to what's going on.
