Gene,

Tell me more about this udev bug.

I'm not so sure this system even has it.  If I check the directory  
/dev/serial/by-id is there and has one device in it, and it looks like it is 
most likely my device.  If my system was affected bu this bug would the by-id 
directory not be there, or would it not have any devices in it, or would the 
device just not work?

I've a usb tree resembling a weeping willow, over a dozen usb cables 
plugged into at least three 4-port expanders, one of which is a 7 port 
and its full, so my output from that command shows 2 devices. One is 
driving an X10 CM11a to control some lights. And I don't recall what the 
other is doing. The x10 stuff has only been running about 35 years. I'm 
one of the two authors of the Amiga's ezhome software for x19 stuff. 
I've long since forgot the nitty and gritty details of what all I had it 
doing.


Whatever you have that did use the /dev/serial/by-id stuff would not be 
working if the bug is present. Buster is ok, bullseye and bookworm will 
fail and the final trixie is supposed to be fixed.  Your stuff is 
probably too old to be effected.


Take care & stay well Todd.

Your debian 12 install has the udev bug I sent you a link to the fix already.  
It restores the missing two lines that setup the serial/by-id stuff for usb.

2024-05-08 Thread Todd Zuercher via Emc-users 
Like I said earlier, I added the user to the dialout group (using that usermod 
command below) and that fixed my issue.

My system does not show /dev/ttyUSB0 as locked  (I can't say for sure if that 
was the case before I added dialout to the user's groups.

"stat /dev/ttyUSB0"  does contain  Gid: ( 20/ dialout)

Your debian 12 install has the udev bug I sent you a link to the fix already.  
It restores the missing two lines that setup the serial/by-id stuff for usb.

2024-05-08 Thread Todd Zuercher via Emc-users 
Yes, it was a permission issue.  After I added the user to the "dialout" group 
it worked fine.  Thanks Peter for putting me on the right track.

That might be something that should be added to the Mb2hal documentation.  (If 
there isn't something about it already there.)

The machine that I've been working on updating from 2.7 to 2.9 has hit a snag.

The machine has 8 vfds for running 8 router spindles, they are/were connected 
to Linuxcnc using Mb2hal and a usb RS485 dongle.  It was working find on the 
old pc running Ubuntu, RTAi, and Linuxcnc 2.7.  I copied the old mb2hal.ini and

 My mb2hal config has 32 transactions, and there is an error msg like below for 
each of the 32, then the list repeats ad nauseum.   Any one have any ideas 
what's going on?  The PC is running Debian 12, with Linuxcnc installed from the

Moving the RS485 dongle back to the old pc and loading the mb2hal config there 
gives no errors.  So it shouldn't be a hardware or config issue that I'm aware 
of.  Did something significant change in mb2hal between 2.7 and 2.9 that would 
require a change to the mb2hal configuration files?

Debian screwed the moose at debian 11, and it's not fixed until trixie.

Some how a copy paste left out the 2 udev lines that generate the 
/dev/serial/by-id to usb links.  There a pinned patch for that on the 
discord/klipper forum that restores that.


Contains a link to the fix.

2024-05-07 Thread Todd Zuercher via Emc-users 
Peter,

Not sure,  considering how many years ago its been since I set this up I may 
have forrgotton about changing user permisions or adding a group.  I'll have to 
look into that tomorrow.

Could this be some permissions or device name error with USB--> RS-485 device 
driver?

The machine that I've been working on updating from 2.7 to 2.9 has hit a snag.  
The one thing I didn't change now seems to be giving me the most trouble.

The machine has 8 vfds for running 8 router spindles, they are/were connected 
to Linuxcnc using Mb2hal and a usb RS485 dongle.  It was working find on the 
old pc running Ubuntu, RTAi, and Linuxcnc 2.7.  I copied the old mb2hal.ini and 
it's associated hal file over to the new machine and added them to the config, 
but I can not seem to establish communication between Linuxcnc and the drives.  
Starting Linuxcnc from the terminal, and it pukes out this string of error 
messages, so fast that I can't find any other possibly more informative error 
messages further up the log, (beacaue I can't scroll past all this other junk.) 
 My mb2hal config has 32 transactions, and there is an error msg like below for 
each of the 32, then the list repeats ad nauseum.   Any one have any ideas 
what's going on?  The PC is running Debian 12, with Linuxcnc installed from the 
Debian repos.

Moving the RS485 dongle back to the old pc and loading the mb2hal config there 
gives no errors.  So it shouldn't be a hardware or config issue that I'm aware 
of.  Did something significant change in mb2hal between 2.7 and 2.9 that would 
require a change to the mb2hal configuration files?

Could this be some permissions or device name error with USB--> RS-485

[Emc-users] Mb2hal 2.9?

2024-05-07 Thread Todd Zuercher via Emc-users 
The machine that I've been working on updating from 2.7 to 2.9 has hit a snag.  
The one thing I didn't change now seems to be giving me the most trouble.

The machine has 8 vfds for running 8 router spindles, they are/were connected 
to Linuxcnc using Mb2hal and a usb RS485 dongle.  It was working find on the 
old pc running Ubuntu, RTAi, and Linuxcnc 2.7.  I copied the old mb2hal.ini and 
it's associated hal file over to the new machine and added them to the config, 
but I can not seem to establish communication between Linuxcnc and the drives.  
Starting Linuxcnc from the terminal, and it pukes out this string of error 
messages, so fast that I can't find any other possibly more informative error 
messages further up the log, (beacaue I can't scroll past all this other junk.) 
 My mb2hal config has 32 transactions, and there is an error msg like below for 
each of the 32, then the list repeats ad nauseum.   Any one have any ideas 
what's going on?  The PC is running Debian 12, with Linuxcnc installed from the 
Debian repos.

Moving the RS485 dongle back to the old pc and loading the mb2hal config there 
gives no errors.  So it shouldn't be a hardware or config issue that I'm aware 
of.  Did something significant change in mb2hal between 2.7 and 2.9 that would 
require a change to the mb2hal configuration files?
