Something has happened.

This LinuxCNC machine has been in use for a couple of weeks and my USB pendant has been working with hal_input as it was supposed to do.
The pendant is recognized by UDEV and assigned to group plugdev.
LinuxCNC 2.7.8

Now, suddenly hal_input is not finding the pendant. but hidraw2 still belongs to plugdev.
uname -a
Linux debianRT 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 3.4.55-4linuxcnc i686 GNU/Linux

ls -l /dev/hid*
crw------- 1 root root    252, 0 Jan 11 16:30 /dev/hidraw0
crw------- 1 root root    252, 1 Jan 11 16:30 /dev/hidraw1
crw-rw-rwT 1 root plugdev 252, 2 Jan 11 16:30 /dev/hidraw2
crw-rw-rwT 1 root plugdev 252, 3 Jan 11 16:30 /dev/hidraw3


I tried with hidconfig to diagnose, it puts an asterisk on this device.
sudo hidconfig finds the device without an asterisk.
hexdump /dev/hidraw2 works without sudo!

Tried
sudo chmod 0666 /dev/hidraw2
sudo chown la.la /dev/hidraw2
this does not solve the problem.


What else can I try?

Did you get this fixed?

I had a machine that used to "lose" USB devices. I never really tried to get to the bottom of it, as it was a joypad only really useful for milling, and I stopped milling with that machine.

I would be tempted to try blindly tweaking USB settings in the BIOS.

Yes,
it is fixed now.
I tried some different idéas, and suddenly the pendant was online again. Not sure which thing was the actual fix.
