Re: [newbie] USB flash drive with Mandrake 10.0 CE
this is how i mount my usb drive in 9.2
i edited my /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap to include the two lines:
# Integral 128mb USB Flash Drive
usbdrive-script 0x0003 0x0d7d 0x14200x 0x
0x00 0x000x000x000x00
0x00 0x
the 'usbdrive-script' is a script that i wrote to do mounting and stuff, it is
placed in /etc/hotplug/usb/
the '0x0d7d' and 0x1420' 3rd and 4th entries on the second line respectively,
are the usb vendore and product code, even when linux has no driver for a usb
itme it will know the vendor code and the product code since this is passed
on as part of the device detection process and is the same for all usb
devices, you will need to find them for your device, try usbview and look for
'vendorid' and 'productid'
my 'usbdrive-script' reads:
#!/bin/bash
#
#usbdrive-script
#
sleep 5s
#
echo /home/bascule/scripts/unmountusbdrive $REMOVER
chmod u+x $REMOVER
#
/home/bascule/scripts/usbdrive
i use the sleep command to allow the device to be fully setup by the drivers,
the $REMOVER is a variable that is created for each hotplug event, it
references what should happen when the device is removed, in the past one
could also use the variable $DEVICE to refer to the mount point but since i
went to lm9.2 this no longer seemed to work, at least for usb storage
devices.
the script 'usbdrive' calls a more complicated script that endeavours to
ascertain the device file for the usbdriev so that it may be mounted and
unmounted, this more complicated script relies on my usbdrive always being
identifed in linux as USB DISK Pro and that whenever it is plugged in, it
is treated as a scsi device and appears as an entry in /proc/scsi/scsi
here is 'usbdrive':
#!/bin/bash
#
#usbdrive
#
devicename=USB DISK Pro
#
. /home/bascule/scripts/finddevice
#
umount $devicefile
umount $symdev
#
mount -o uid=500,gid=500, $devicefile /mnt/usbdrive play
/common_stuff/wavs/misc/halawake.wav
in this script /mnt/usbdrive is a mountpoint of my choice, the line
. /home/bascule/scripts/finddevice runs the finddevice script and uses the
variables it defines - $devicefile and $symdev, the '' bit just plays a wav
file if there is a succesfull mount :)
here is the meat, the finddevice script:
#!/bin/bash
#finddevice
#
#first we find the line from /proc/scsi/scsi with
#the device name in
#
#'devicename' should be set by calling script
#
#devicename=USB DISK Pro
line=$(cat /proc/scsi/scsi |grep -n $devicename|gawk '{print $1}'|sed
's/://g' |head -1)
#
#next we refer to the preceding line that has the host info on
#
newline=$(( $line -1 ))
#
#next we parse 'newline' for host and bus info
host=host$(head -$newline /proc/scsi/scsi |tail -1|gawk '{print $2}'|sed
's/scsi//')
#
bus=bus$(( $(head -$newline /proc/scsi/scsi |tail -1|gawk '{print $4}') +0 ))
#
target=target$(( $(head -$newline /proc/scsi/scsi |tail -1|gawk '{print $6}')
+0 ))
#
lun=lun$(( $(head -$newline /proc/scsi/scsi |tail -1|gawk '{print $8}') +0 ))
#
#echo host=$host
#echo bus=$bus
#echo target=$target
#echo lun=$lun
#
#now we make an assumption concerning this device
#we assume that it has one partition and that is numbered 1
part=part1
#if this assumption should ever fail then
#parsing the directory listing of /dev/scsi/$host/$bus/$target/$lun
#would be necessary
devicefile=/dev/scsi/$host/$bus/$target/$lun/$part
echo devicefile=/dev/scsi/$host/$bus/$target/$lun/$part
shortdev=scsi/$host/$bus/$target/$lun/$part
symdev=$(find /dev -lname $shortdev)
there's an echo in the last lines for using on the command line while testing,
the variable $symdev should be the symlink under the /dev tree that links to
the full /dev/scsi/.device file
for completeness my 'unmountusbdrive' script is:
#!/bin/bash
#
#unmountusbdrive
#
umount /mnt/usbdrive play /common_stuff/wavs/misc/halsmind.wav
note that above is used the mount command with the options:
-o uid=500,gid=500
my user has 500 as uid and gid, ymv
this results in every plugin of my pen drive mounting in the same place as my
normal user, playing a wav when mounted and also when unmounted, note that i
always issue a manual 'sync' on the command line before unplugging, and watch
the little led on the device stop falshing before unplugging
i use lm9.2 and thus devfs, i'm told that using udev will make all this
redundant since there will then be a built in way to refer to a device in way
that will not change between boots and thus specify mount point etc in a
better way
anyway, maybe this will be of use?

But help is still very much apreciated, there may be something wrong with Mdk9.0 or the Kernel they are using... Anyway that is my guess until someone shows me that I was really stupid and forgot the obvious again. some more infos: the 100% CPU use stays a few minutes after I took the CF card out and plugging in the card in the second slot does not help - tha same thing happens... Kernel 2.4.19-16mdk (I guess) which is standard in 9.0 had the same issue, the only one that I tested and worked is the one in 8.2.

I can also use command line. One proviso though, as I learnt the hard way. If you don't have a media card in the device during the installation phase of Mandrake it will not create a working node device in /dev directory, and although I found out how to remove and recreate the device it did not last more than that single session, which made it a pain. So, if you can spare the time and know how, recompile the kernel with a card inserted, otherwise wait until your next mandrake install and remember to insert the media into the reader before you begin the device detection fase of the install. I guess the mandrake team need to address this issue of device detection without a media card inserted.

There was another USB/Flash question regarding supermount.

When I connect it to my system (mdk 9.1). It does show up in dev/sda and also at the /dev/scsi/ tree BUT it doesn't automount. When I try to mount it manually it tells me about read write error or error in file system. ( I tried auto,vfat,msdos) (Another USB flash drive that I have (64MB) it is working fine!) I am pretty newbie in linux so I have some questions: 1. When a device attaches itshelf on /dev tree does this automatically mean that the device is ALSO supported? 2. If the #1 is no , how can I find if it is supported? ( I know the device can work with generic USB storage support from winXP). Any help for the setup of the drive is wanted Thank you in advance.

[newbie] Compact Flash reader
Manolis, I have been off list for a while and don't know if you have received an answer to your question. What works for me is to open a terminal and as root type in mount /dev/sda1 and then when I look in konqueror file manager under /mnt there is a removable drive shown, click on that and the flash contents become available. I don't know why it does not auto mount except that it may be because it is seen as a removable disk.??? Anyway give the mount command a go.

Re: [newbie] mozilla flash (again)
I reinstalled Mozilla and Mozplugger. However i can't find mozilla-flash. Do you mean mozilla-plugin-flash-04.10.6? But if I try to install that, there's a whole cascade of other things that need to be installed.

Re: [newbie] mozilla flash (again)
In fact, if I try to install mozilla-plugin-flash, software manager says that mozplugger has to be installed also. When I say OK, it then says that mozplugger (exact same version) has to be UNinstalled along with mozilla-mail and some other basic mozilla stuff !! (to which i say no of course)... I installed mozilla-1.3.1-4.1mdk instead of just version 1.3-1 that comes with MDK. Could that be the problem?

[newbie] mozilla flash (again)
I'm sorry to get back to the Mozilla plugin thing; I know it has been discussed before, and I tried to use the information in that discussion, but i just can't get it working. :-( Help? I downloaded and installed the swfdec-mozilla rpm without problems. No flash however when browsing. (Not sure what this rpm does in fact). Then I downloaded install_flash_player_6_linux.tar.gz. When I tried to run the installer the first time, it said: NOTE: ttfonts and urwfonts needed. So I installed ttfonts-1.0-9.noarch.rpm and urw-fonts-2.0-29.noarch.rpm. When I retry the flash-installer the note about the fonts has gone. The installation completes without further messages, but still no flash in mozilla.

[newbie] Compact Flash Card in PCMCIA slot does not work in 9.0, it did work in Mdk 8.2
Hi everyone, now I just upgraded to Kernel: #uname -a Linux me 2.4.19-24mdk #1 Thu Jan 30 13:13:07 MST 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux Because I thought it might be a Kernel issue. As I said everthing worked fine in Mdk 8.2 but it is broken since 9.0. The issue is, that I cannot mount the card anymore. When I plug it in the Notebook (IBM Thinkpad A22p) I get the following output in /var/log/messages: Feb 15 10:40:21 dclient217-162-39-126 kernel: cs: memory probe 0xa000-0xa0ff: clean.

While the card is in the system monitor shows me 100% processor activity and top shows me that drakupdate_fstab is running at top but takes up only 10% of of CPU power, so I guess it is the Kernel that needs the rest. # dmesg VFS: Disk change detected on device 21:00 /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 devfs_do_symlink(disc0): could not append to parent, err: -17 which repeats itself again... in my /etc/fstab I have: /dev/hde1 /mnt/flash auto noauto,user 0 0 which worked just fine in Mdk 8.2. Anyway I think it is not an fstab business because of the /var/log/messages output... I guess I will try to get the old kernel from 8.2 in 9.0 if that works it isn't such a big deal - I just need it to put some mp3 on the CF for the Zaurus, I can do that with a dual boot. But help is still very much apreciated, there may be something wrong with Mdk9.0 or the Kernel they are using... Anyway that is my guess until someone shows me that I was really stupid and forgot the obvious again. some more infos: the 100% CPU use stays a few minutes after I took the CF card out and plugging in the card in the second slot does not help - tha same thing happens... Kernel 2.4.19-16mdk (I guess) which is standard in 9.0 had the same issue, the only one that I tested and worked is the one in 8.2. I keep my newbie and expert mails, it dates back until end of last year. I searched them for Compact Flash and CF card and got no useful messages that indicate this issue has already been addressed. But if it was - please point me to the right direction. Thank you, b. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Compact Flash Card in PCMCIA slot does not work in 9.0, it did work in Mdk 8.2
Hi again, It seems to be a kernel issue, I just installed the old 8.2. Kernels (2.4.18 doesn't work with the modules for 2.4.19) but 2.4.19 from Mdk 8.2. works just fine. I copied the old Kernel sources for 2.4.19 to /usr/src/ together with the old initrd and vmlinuz (which go into /boot/) setup the new Kernel boot with the MCC boot-config tool. Booted into it. And... Now the Compact Flash Card works just fine. The vmware compilation to custom build the modules for this kernel also worked with the copied old sources. So I guess I just use the old 8.2. Kernel for work. Everything seems to work. old-Kernel (with working CF card): # uname -a Linux me 2.4.19-16mdk #1 Fri Sep 20 18:15:05 CEST 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux I don't really know how to proceed from here. Do I need to inform somebody that 2.4.19 kernels from Mandrake in Mdk 9.0 have a bug? Do they really? (The working 2.4.19 Kernel from Mdk 8.2 and the not-working 9.0 Kernels indicate this)... Has anybody had the same problem with CF cards? I hope somebody reads this and informs either me that I did something wrong or informs the people at Mandrake that there is a CF card issue with the new Kernels. b.

I used mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/compactflash reply is /mnt/compactflash does not exist. What or how do I create a mount point for the card reader and how do I find out what it's device name is? Harddrake doesn't tell me, just says unknown. Hate to take it back the package is a pain to put back together. TIA for any help. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

If so, your mount command should work (assuming you don't have other SCSI devices, in which case, your reader might not be sda1). Assuming your reader actually is sda1 and you have created the directory compactflash under /mnt, you can add the following line to your /etc/fstab file: /dev/sda1 /mnt/compactflash vfat noauto,user Then you can just say mount /mnt/compactflash and it should work. BTW, the noauto tells linux not to automatically mount it at startup, since it will generate an error unless the flash card is actually in it. The user allows a regular user to mount/unmount it.

Oh I had previously done the mkdir /mnt/compactflash but nothing shows up in mtab. The directory is there in /mnt but nothing in it even though the card in the reader has a couple of pictures on it. Any ideas? All help is appreciated. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Cerca nsplugin utilizzando il Software Manager. Installa il pacchetto RPM che viene elencato, e vai nelle Impostazioni del Konqueror.
