How to cleanly remove a non-storage USB device
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
Is there a way in Linux to cleanly remove (i.e. 'safely remove') a USB device that is not a mass storage device before it is unplugged?
My problem:
I have a USB TV stick - a 'Mygica T230 DVB-T/T2/C'.
It works ok, and usually when I unplug it, syslog reports that it is 'successfully disconnected' and then the USB port can subsequently be used again as normal.
However, sometimes this isn't the case: I unplug it and the system doesn't realize that it has been disconnected. lsusb reports that it is still connected and the USB port is unusable until I reboot the computer. When I do reboot the computer it hangs, forcing me to hold the power button.
What I need is to be able to tell the computer to disconnect the device before I unplug it.
For an external hard drive I would use:
$ udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdx
Is there an equivalent command for non mass storage devices?
