Re: [Freevo-users] Re: usb mass storage help please [attn Dischi] NOT FIXED !!!
I give up.
It has something to do with the vfs implementation. But where it goes
wrong excactly i really can't tell. But what i said earlier
if line.lower().find('mass storage') != -1:
should be
if line.lower().find('storage') != -1:
in misc.py still stands. Device shows up in menu but doesn't get
mounted. Pretty useless plugin then without the mounting part ;-)
Of course the USB HOTPLUG cmd can be used for mounting but i know
from personal experience that it mounted and umounted the usb device
whithout prob in freevo < 1.4

Did you write the plugin? I think wether or not the directory is

It doesn't.. so it's a bug then. Strange thing is i got it working with
camera.py a while ago without using automount. And usbstorage.py is
basicly the same code as camera.py was. Not sure where it goes wrong
but i look into it and i'll try to find out what the diff is. Probably
tomorrow.

What i meant was that for usb storage devices some kernelside options
are needed. In other words make sure if USB mounting works outside
freevo. :-) But we probably passed that stage.

Hi,
Duh, a search through /proc/bus/usb/devices revealed the culprit.
Found the problem in misc.py line 300
if line.lower().find('mass storage') != -1:
should be
if line.lower().find('storage') != -1:
Probably kernel 2.4 and 2.6 usb/mass storage module naming is
different. A find for 'storage' is enough to get it going for both
modules
my cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=ff Prot=01 Driver=usb-storage
Or changing back to usb_id as an identifier is maybe a better solution
if one has multiple usb-storage devices.

SV: [Freevo-users] still no sound on recording, almost ready to t hrow in towel ...
Mary, maybe someone already mentioned this, or it might not be applicable. However, I also had a problem with no sound from tv, and noticed after a while that the sound channels where forced to zero. I then used this script in the beginning of my /usr/bin/freevo script; -- aumix -m+70 xmodmap /root/.xmodmaprc xset s noblank -- The two last lines are only for loading my own keymappings in X and to turn off screensaver. The first line sets the microphone line-in to 70% since I have to get tv-out sound into the sound card. /PS -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Till: freevo mailing list post Skickat: 2004-04-30 00:00 Ämne: [Freevo-users] still no sound on recording, almost ready to throw in towel ...
