2009-05-19 Thread Leena 

Hi all,

Is there any way I can increase /root partition's size after 
installation, using gparted?
or anyway to change directory for default installation files from /root 
to /home

I have Ubuntu 8.04 in a system having Hard disk of size 40GB.
I used manual partition option and following is how I have parted the disk
/root: 3GB or 3000mb
swap: 1.6GB
/home: remaining (say @36GB)

Now after installation I ran updates. now when I try to install new 
program, system giving me following error: There is no space in /root 
and you need to delete some files to save new


any help on this please


Thanks,
Leena

Re: [ilugd] Help in getting reliance Huawei datacard EC121 to work on Ubuntu

2009-05-13 Thread Leena 
thanks Arun for refering to the linkit is related to same problem I 
am facing.


I know you have not used EC121but has anynody else on this list 
tried out steps from following link:

http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/pipermail/ilugc/2009-January/045551.html

I tried to carry out the steps and still not successful in getting modem 
recognized...
just wanted to check last two steps if I am doing it correct. I am new 
to linux and may not have understood commands well. hoping to get help here


1. Download the program usb_modeswitch from

which I did

2. Extract the binary usb_modeswitch

I did following:

   tar jxf usb_modeswitch-0.9.7.tar.bz2
   cd usb_modeswitch-0.9.7
   sudo cp usb_modeswitch /usr/sbin
   sudo cp usb_modeswitch.conf /etc

4. Add the following lines to /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
added these DefaultVendor=  0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1411
to .conf and saved under 
# Huawei E169		 *I have doubt here,is this correct?*



# Huawei E169
#
# Contributor: Dale Lane

;DefaultVendor=  0x12d1;
;DefaultProduct= 0x1001
DefaultVendor=  0x12d1
DefaultProduct= 0x1411
# choose one of these:
;DetachStorageOnly=1
HuaweiMode=1




5. Create the following two files under /etc/udev/rules.d   *I have 
doubt here*
since rules.d is directory, I created file named '99-huawei_00.rules' in rules.d
cut pasted what was written in the post:as follows
99-huawei_00.rules


SUBSYSTEM==block, \
ACTION==add, \
SYSFS{idVendor}==12d1, \
SYSFS{idProduct}==1411, \
OPTIONS=ignore_device

99-huawei_01.rules
---

SUBSYSTEM==usb, SYSFS{idProduct}==1411, SYSFS{idVendor}==12d1,
RUN+=/sbin/mydevice_switch.sh

6. Create a script named mydevice_switch.sh under /sbin  *  I have 
doubt here too!!!*
under folder sbin I created .sh file as 
gedit mydevice_switch.sh
and copied the code from post and saved it. Is this how to create a .sh file. are all other files under sbin folder .sh? 
but then they were green in color and didn't show .sh extn, only file I created showed it.

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch
sleep 1
/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1411.am i doing it right 
here?
also gave read/write access.

7. checked /etc/wvdial.conf and added my no., password etc.

now when I connect card and type 'wvdial' it still gives following:
r...@leena-laptop:/# wvdial
-- WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
-- Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory
-- Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory
-- Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory

Can anyone who had followed this post please let me know where I am going 
wrongwhy wouldn't it work.

THis post was very thorough and thanks for listing it, as I said I am new to 
linux hence would have made some mistakes.


THanks,
Leena

changes in wvdial.conf and that was sufficient to get EC325 working.
BUt now when I tried same steps with new reliance card (EC121) first
of all modem is not getting recognized by the system.



No, I don't have an EC-121 but ...
I Google searched and found this link that might be helpful.

Could you please post the output /bin/dmesg | tail -10, after you
have connected the USB modem to the laptop?

[Snip]

I don't see any USB related output here. Do the following instead:

1. Remove the USB modem from the laptop.
2. Open a terminal and do sudo tail -f /var/log/messages.
3. Plug-in the USB modem, and you will see some output in (2). Please
post the output that you see.
