#### USB Device Inspector - USB devices, IDs & plug/unplug history

USB Device Inspector lists the USB devices and hubs the Linux kernel knows
about by reading /sys/bus/usb/devices, and keeps a plug / unplug history
with timestamps.

A lightweight Linux alternative to USBDeview for listing USB devices and
their connect / disconnect times.

Key Features:

* Device table: bus, device number, VID:PID, vendor, product, serial, speed,
  class, bound driver and attached storage (size, mount points).
* Detail pane with the full sysfs attribute set; copy and CSV export.
* Live plug / unplug monitor (2s sysfs polling) with a persistent history
  file, plus events parsed from the kernel log (kern.log / syslog / dmesg)
  when readable.
* USB ID database browser (usb.ids) to look up vendors and products.
* Drivers & Modules tab: USB-related kernel modules and USB input devices.
* If the kernel exposes no USB bus (for example WSL or some containers) the
  app says so instead of showing fake data.
* Bilingual donate header (Vietnamese / English).

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install USB Device Inspector

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
