If I remove the USB hub I will not have a key board to use at all.
The mouse is plugged into the computer. I have a Lenovo Think model
and it does not have enough usb ports.
Before all of this I screwed with the /var and became unable to
download updates or any files at all and brasero will not work so I
can back up my home partition. I screwed the pooch on this one and
at 72 years old I have forgotten a lot of stuff.
So, your Lenovo Think[Center|Light|Pad|Station] has two (2) USB 2.0 or
3.0 type-A ports?
Can you plug the mouse and the keyboard into the hub, plug the hub
into the computer, and plug the USB HDD into the computer?
The mouse is plugged into the computer back and the keyboard is
plugged into the USB hub. I could unplug the mouse and use it for the
hard drive. That would probably work but I would have to do
everything with the keyboard if I remember how to not use a mouse,
LOL. But it would work, yes?
