Connecting a USB UPS

2009-08-19 Thread Daniel Feiglin

Hello folks!

I use a SL1000 UPS. The model is marketed by Advice, and looks like
their continuation of the Sustainer UPS line. It comes with both a
serial and USB port. The serial version of the SL line always worked OK
under Linux with their grotty (but adequate) UPSMON program, which comes
with the unit (or may be downloaded from the Powercom site.
www dot pcmups dot com dot tw).

My current workstation does not have any serial ports, so the supplied
UPSMON will not work.

As proof of hardware integrity for what follows, I ran up the supplied
Windows UPS software on an XP client running under VMware. The new USB
device was detected and everything worked as it should.

Back to Linux:
I'm running openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 3.5 fully updated.

First, the relevant line from lsusb:

Bus 004 Device 008: ID 0d9f:0002 Powercom Co., Ltd

  linux.subsystem = 'usb'

For some reason, the printout did not include this:

Drivers
   Modules
  Active: Yes
  modprobe: Yes
  modules
   modprobe cypress_m8
Drivers
   Modules
  Active: Yes
  modprobe: Yes
  modules
   modprobe usbhid

I installed nut. It has a configuration file, /etc/ups/ups.conf, which
requires this:

[upsname]
  driver = 
   port = 
< any other directives here >

The critical items are drivername and portname.
The nut documentation suggests the use of /dev/hiddev0 for portname,
however I don't have any /dev/hiddev0, 1, 2 ... entries. (nor do they
exist in some sub-direcory).

As an inspired (?) guess, I tried driver = powercom and port = /dev/ttyS0.

The upsd daemon started , but was unable to communicate with the device:
Here are the last few entries from syslog:

Aug 18 13:40:11 danny upsmon[15804]: Poll UPS [my...@localhost] failed -
Data stale

Aug 18 13:40:12 danny powercom[15796]: data receiving error (-1 instead
of 11 bytes)

Aug 18 13:40:16 danny upsmon[15804]: Poll UPS [my...@localhost] failed -
Data stale

Aug 18 13:40:17 danny powercom[15796]: data receiving error (-1 instead
of 11 bytes)


It's easy to see what's happening: The poller sends a Ctl A (I think) to
the UPS and should get back 11 bytes of status data.


And so to the $64,000 question: What should I be using for these two
parameters?


An RTFM would be fine, but go find the FM to R!

Guys, can anyone just offer an opinion on my original request?

Is roundcube really better than IMP or Squirrelmail? Is OpenMail even 
better? Hebrew support?

Yeah yeah. Well - then you already know then that the phone number is for
Premier customers to use when the service is "unusable".  Which has only
happened a couple times the past year. The other issues use email which is
ok. Personally I only had to use it once when they cunningly removed some
features without telling anyone.  From a support perspective - imho
slicehost and rackspace are hands down winners. fwiw - I  had no idea the
big G would get such an emotional response in the list.

At any rate - I think I've finished here.

Re: Connecting a USB UPS

2009-08-19 Thread Daniel Feiglin

Nope. There is no such thing as a ttyUSB0 device anywhere. However, in
the mean time I found someone else with the same problem, who did this:

Begin quote:

USB Serial Converter support

This serial driver supports a wide range of USB to serial adapters. It
also allows communication with the Handspring Visor. You need to turn on
USB Serial Converter support, and then select whichever of the various
particular drivers you need. The Generic Serial Driver can be used with
a wide range of converters, by specifying the vendor and product ID
codes when you load the USB serial converter module: insmod usb-serial.o
vendor=0x product-0x, where you need to change the  and 
to match your device.

The serial port driver uses a major number of 188. Up to sixteen serial
ports are supported. To create the appropriate device entries, use the
following commands:

mknod /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
...
mknod /dev/usb/ttyUSB15 c 188 15

You should now be able to plug in a serial device into the adapter, and
use the /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 just as if it were a normal serial port.

End quote.

Well, it didn't work, but it is in the right direction. I now see two
new devices in /dev, hiddev0 and hidraw0. That was the immediate effect
of the insmod.

I'm curious to see what experience do other people in the list has. 
roundcube is indeed very nice, and close to zero configuration, but it is a 
bit buggy, and know for vulnerabilities. 
I am now trying IMP (+DIMP/MIMP), it looks good too, but much more difficult 
to configure, and much less shiny.
There are no problems with encoding (I found some in IMP, but I think they 
are configuration, not bugs), and none has good RTL support like I have on 
my kmail-3.5.

Dear list members,

We are looking for a webmail application that has good support in Hebrew
messages (encoding and ltr/rtl).

So far, it seems to me that roundcube-webmail is the best candidate, but
also considering:

Open WebMail
IMP
SquirrelMail
roundcube

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dave

  
  
I'm curious to see what experience do other people in the list has. 
roundcube is indeed very nice, and close to zero configuration, but it is a 
bit buggy, and know for vulnerabilities. 
I am now trying IMP (+DIMP/MIMP), it looks good too, but much more difficult 
to configure, and much less shiny.
There are no problems with encoding (I found some in IMP, but I think they 
are configuration, not bugs), and none has good RTL support like I have on 
my kmail-3.5.

  

Squirrelmail, as you all probably already know, looks somewhat
"old-fashioned". The interface is fully translated but uses
windows-1255 encoding instead of unicode.
And Yonatan was looking for some automatic filtering of incoming
messages. I don't see that feature in Squirrelmail or any  plugins.

Attaching a camera via USB

2009-08-19 Thread David Suna

My son got an inexpensive digital camera and I am trying to plug it in 
to an Ubuntu system to be able to copy off the pictures.  When I plug in 
the camera to the USB a light on the camera flashes but the device is 
not detected as a storage device.  When I run lsusb it sees the device


Bus 003 Device 006: ID 0979:0227 Jeilin Technology Corp., Ltd

lsusb -v for that device shows

I do not know how to move forward on getting this device to work as a 
storage device.  I do not need to use it as a webcam (which 
theoretically it can do) I just want to be able to copy off the pictures 
and delete them.  I tried searching but wasn't able to narrow down the 
search enough to be useful.  Any help on how to do this or pointers to 
online resources on how to do this would be appreciated.

It's not a direct solution to your problem, and maybe things changed
since last time I checked, but personally I prefer to use a card
reader for such tasks:

1. It saves camera battery.
2. It's much faster than the camera's USB interface (?)
3. I suspect that taking out the card and putting it back in is less
unhealthy for the camera than connecting the mini/micro-usb cable.

It's been a few years now that many printers come with a built-in card
reader, so maybe you have one already.

As for getting your camera recognised, maybe the following link could
help or point to the right direction:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB (pointing to possibly more
relevant link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbDriveDoSomethingHowto)

Re: Suggestion for a webmail application with good Hebrew Support

2009-08-19 Thread Moish


Roundcubemail is using TinyMCE editor which supports
Hebrew oob and has a GREAT translation ( me :) )
It's indeed new but with avid contributors. The next version will
have an improved support for plugins, which are accumulating quickly.
Some people from the community are offering it to their
customers' base so I assume it's not that bad :)
I mamnaged to import all my contacts from a spreadsheet and many
from the community are using ldap.

It's very easy to install and use, so try it.

I'm using also Squirrlemail which is extremely rubust and
with many plugins but Hebrew support is weak ( you can use
an editor through an unfriendly plugin ) and it's UI is
stale at best.

Bottom line:

If you need a quick and dirty tool that just works - squirrlemail.
If you are looking for a modern tool with potential and good
   Hebrew support - Roundcubemail.
If you are looking for Gmail replacement - go elsewhere.

PS I'm not aware of any vulnerability.

Yes.  However, they had a problem getting it to work as a web cam.  It 
automatically came up as a mass storage device.  For me it is not even 
coming up as a mass storage device.

I think the first step is to see (from specifications or whatever) whether the 
storage on this camera is a filesystem. If not then you have a whole different 
level of trouble.

If it's a filesystem, then keep this in mind -- a lot of cameras require after 
plugging it into the computer you press some kind of button on the camera or 
from the camera perform some kind of menu option, and THEN Ubuntu pops up 
asking whether you want to run a program or just mount it.

Unfortunately I don't have any specs or really know how to read them.  
From a link someone posted earlier I got the idea to run fdisk -l and 
find out what the device is but there was no difference in the output 
whether I had the camera plugged in or not.

"fdisk -l" would be relevant after you got the camera recognised by
ubuntu, have you overcome this stage?

storage device is usually appears as dev/sdX when X is a or b or c.

Try to run ls -l /dev/sd* and see if you get something.
