Help with chan_usbradio "HID process has died or something!!"?
Situation: A new installation of ACID on your basic 2.4 GHz PC (an IBM Netvista if it matters) with a DMK USB URI fob connected to an Alinco DR135 radio. Everything works great for some number of hours (anywhere from 6 to 18) ... Until it stops working and the following errors crop up in /var/log/asterisk/messages: [Feb 27 17:17:37] ERROR[3464] chan_usbradio.c: HID process has died or something!!

? On startup go into BIOS and turn off any power saving modes. It sounds like the ports are being turned off from no traffic. I had a box that did that.

Aha! I think you've hit the nail on the head. I recall now that this particular PC does have power saving features that typically need to be disabled in the linux kernel ("acpi=off" or "noacpi" or somesuch in grub) for it to be well behaved. I will try it tomorrow and let the list know how it turns out, but (knock on wood) I'm pretty sure this is it. Thanks! Phil, N6TCT P.S. to Jim, glad you got to enjoy that error message once again. :-) On Sun, Feb 27, 2011 at 6:56 PM, KB3ORS - Brian <kb3ors@windstream.net> wrote:
