- May 12, 2008 How to enable USB-Serial Port adapter (RS-232) in Ubuntu Linux. Though some might argue that Serial port are things in the past, it is still the most popular port for those who are into electronic DIY. Building electronic device with serial port interface is cheaper than buiding one that uses USB.
- USB-Serial Port adapter in Ubuntu Linux. Plug in the USB-Serial Port adapter to one of your USB ports. Wait for a couple of seconds then run “dmesg”. You should see these messages at the end of the dmesg output: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhciand address 2 usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice After that.
- Can you please post the dmesg command output, by the time you plug the adapter in to your PC. Have you tried to load the usbserial kernel module? Modprobe usbserial By loading this module the kernel should create a virtual device node (e.g /dev/ttyUSB0) which you will be able to handle it as a serial port. – mike1821 Nov 8 '16 at 10:54.
- Re: (solved)USB-serial Adapter does not show up in Ubuntu Guest. With an empty filter, you don't have that problem because every device is taken when it's connected. So when using an empty filter, don't be surprised to see your USB stick or external mouse be taken by VB. If you want to avoid that, pause the VM, hook up the device and then resume it. Or just attach them before you start the VM.
I have a USB to serial adapter. It works OK with my desktop computer, but no on my laptop. My desktop PC is a generic computer (Athlon 64 X2 6000+ on board MSI K9AGM, 6 USB 2.0 ports, no USB 3.0 ports), and my laptop is an HP ENVY4-1015DX (2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 USB 3.0 port)
My desktop has Ubuntu 12.04.2 64 bits, kernel 3.5.0-37. When I plug it into any USB port on this PC, I got this in kern.log:
However, when I plug exactly the same adapter with the same USB cable into any port on my laptop (it doesn't matters if I plug it into a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port), I got: Hands free activation samsung.
My laptop has Ubuntu 12.04.3 64 bits, kernel 3.8.0-30.
I see that the main difference is that, in my PC, Ubuntu uses driver ohci_hcd, and in my laptop Ubuntu uses xhci_hcd. I've tried doing:
Dec 10, 2015 Activation of the app Microsoft.Windows.Photos8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.File contract failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. Activation via contract helper of the app Microsoft.Windows.Photos8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.File contract failed with The remote procedure call failed. When I try to open a jpeg file. 
Mar 30, 2015 Follow these steps to manage the Remote procedure call services. Press Windows key + R and type services.msc and press enter. In Services, scroll down to Remote Procedure Call and make sure the Status says Started and the Status type is Automatic. Now make sure the Status for service named Remote Procedure Call Locator is set to Manual.
And also tried:
However, none of these works. In first case, no error at modprobe, but system still uses xhci_hcd. In second case, on modprobe it gives me an error:
What else could I do to solve my issue? Thanks!

I've found that my Serial-to-USB converter (ch341-uart) doesn't works with USB 3.0 ports. Unfortunately, my HP Envy doesn't have a USB 2.0 hub, all ports are reported as USB 3.0 ports to OS. Seems like this device isn't supported under USB 3.0. However, I've got a USB 2.0 hub. If I connect this hub to any port, and then connect the Serial converter to this hub, it works OK, even using xhci_hcd:
if anyone have problems with ch341 drivers on Ubuntu 14.04 I have a patched driver and it works with 3.13.X kernel:
