Network share works, but not USB #6

Hi @mrfenyx

I'm a complete noob when it comes to Linux and Raspberry Pi, so I'm sorry if it's me who's stupid.

I have a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and used the automated setup, with seemingly no problems. The OS is Raspberry Pi OS Lite 32-bit released 2024-07-04. I can access the network storage through Wi-Fi, but neither my PC or Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro can detect it using the USB-port. At first I used a modified USB-cable and tried a new one, but no luck. The USB-port works when using a keyboard. I formated the SD-card and did the setup from scratch another time, but the result was the same.

Is there perhaps something I missed during the setup?

Hi, the only thing I can think of is indeed the USB cable, where you need to make sure you correctly modify it. I've tried the script on a zero w and a zero 2 w and it works on both but the cable was crucial.

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately I can't get it too work. I've made sure that the cable correctly modifed, the +5V is isolated. I've tried using both USB-ports to be sure I'm not using the one for power. The files that has been modified by the automated setup seems to be correct, at least to me with my limited knowledge. I'm going to try doing the setup manually, but i'm not very hopeful that it will work.

I finally got it to work! It seems like the "sudo apt upgrade -y" command was the problem for me. When I tried the automated setup without upgrading it worked immediately.
