[gentoo-user] confused udev?
I have a USB memory stick and an external USB box with an IDE disk.
I configured udev to assign device names to both items, or so I thought.
The external box is plugged, the memory stick isn't.
The problem is: the device for the box is not created, and the memstick
device exists but represents the box, not the stick. I read
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#identify-sysfs
and
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Flash-Memory-HOWTO.html
What else should I do?
The gory details:

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/40-my.rules

$ udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sda)
udevinfo starts with the device the node belongs to and then walks up the
device chain, to print for every device found, all possibly useful
attributes in the udev key format.
Only attributes within one device section may be used together in one
rule, to match the device for which the node will be created.
OK, here's the interesting part:
0:0:0:0': BUS==scsi
ID==0:0:0:0
DRIVER==sd
SYSFS{device_blocked}==0
SYSFS{iocounterbits}==32
SYSFS{iodone_cnt}==0x1642
SYSFS{ioerr_cnt}==0x0

SYSFS{max_sectors}==240
SYSFS{model}==L250R0
SYSFS{queue_depth}==1

SYSFS{rev}==BAH4
SYSFS{scsi_level}==3
SYSFS{state}==running
SYSFS{timeout}==30
SYSFS{type}==0
SYSFS{vendor}==Maxtor 6
That would give the following rule (all in one line):
BUS==usb, KERNEL==sd*, SYSFS{model}==L250R0 ,
SYSFS{vendor}==Maxtor 6, NAME=usb/disk%n
Note the spaces in the model part, don't know wether the wildcard * works
here, too. Feel free to change the name part to whatever you like :-)
After plugging the memstick:
$ udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sdb)
no record for 'sdb' in database
udevinfo: option requires an argument -- p
Usage: udevinfo [-anpqrVh]
(etc)
Hmm, this is strange. Did you check if /dev/sdb is really there? I currently
have no idea what could be wrong. If not already done, could you recompile
your kernel with all sub options of CONFIG_USB_STORAGE and see if this
makes any difference with the stick?

After searching through tons of articles regarding ipw2200 drivers not working with the latest Stable Gentoo-Sources I decided to go with the kernel drivers and give them a shot. I recompiled rebooted and low and behold the drivers still weren't working. After trying all sorts of different combinations Unstable versions of this stable versions of that. Nothing worked, so I proceeded to reboot back into the livecd and re-chroot into my system so I could get a network connection and install the Madwifi Drivers, for a pcmcia card that I have laying around. Also note that the Madwifi drivers are considered Unstable. I rebooted the computer and the drivers actually worked (Yea Unstable). So I got the network connection up, then I decided to go ahead and install X (I thought that it would be easier to troubleshoot the ipw drivers from a graphical environment copy, paste, multiple xterms.). Well Maybe this will help a little. I am using the ipw2200 drivers, and they work fine. I am using the gentoo-sources kernel, 2.6.13-r4, with ipw2200-1.0.6-r3. My eix shows ipw2200-firmware 2.3 and 2.4 installed (I guess they are slotted), I'm not sure which one is being loaded. I tried upgrading to 2.6.14, wireless broke (I think that's when I tried loading the 2.4 firmware), so I went back to my current kernel. I'll hang out here for a while, 'til they get the bugs worked out of 2.6.14. I have an ati video, so no help there. My intial approach to my new laptop was a bit different than yours. Though I've been doing Gentoo three years, I've never done it on a laptop, never done Linux or wireless on a laptop. I've had good luck with Ubuntu, wanted to try their newest, so I loaded it up first, to get info on hardware, get a working xorg.conf, etc. Had a fully functional laptop in less than an hour. I then set up a dual boot gentoo, used the xorg.conf from Ubuntu, cherry-picked a few ideas from the nicely done Ubuntu. I've added additional functionality to my Gentoo build as I've needed it. So now, every time I fire up, I always have a choice. I can use the fully loaded Ubuntu, which I love for its ease of installation and administration, or I can use Gentoo, my stripped down hot rod, which on occasion gives me fits. Gentoo gets the nod every time, unless I'm looking for a bit of freecell. Why?, I ask myself. I think it's the same reason I liked to take watches apart when I was a kid. I want to know how things work. I love the Zen-like aesthetic, starting with a blank slate, and adding only what is absolutely essential. No cruft.

[gentoo-user] Return of My Continuing ALSA woes
I got my new computer about a month ago. It uses the snd-hda-intel ALSA driver. I fought with it for a week or two and finally got it working with alsa-driver (it wouldn't work when I attempted to compile ALSA support for the card into the kernel.) Yesterday it just kind of stopped. I've just rebuild kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r2 (removing SMP support - someone told me last time that it might cause a problem) and before I rebuilt the kernel I removed all the old modules from /lib/modules for this kernel. I remerged alsa-driver. I try to start /etc/init.d/alsamixer and I hear the little click/pop sound out of my speakers that tells me that Gentoo has activated my sound card.

Here is a problem...you have an extra space in your vendor string, so
the first rule will not match.
Also, you should be using == in your rules, not =, and
SYSFS{model}, not SYSFS_model.I think these latter issues are the
reason the plextor rule is matching, because from the udev man page,
= does not test for equality, it assigns a value to a key.
So first, cut-n-paste the vendor and model strings from this output
into your rule, and change all of the = to == (except for the NAME
setting). Then try setting udev_log=7 in /etc/udev/udev.conf, and
watch /var/log/messages when you plug in the drive.

watch /var/log/messages when you plug in the drive.

[gentoo-user] Xorg.. twm not starting and terrible performance with fluxbox
Well hi again, It took longer than I expected to change the server. Anyway. The VIA Unichrome situation turned out to be a no-go for me. I had to install an NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 on the machine and get X running. I think this whole thread and me compiling various Xorg versions about 8 or 9 times was a waste of time. Because as it turns out, fluxbox, even on the nvidia drivers took ages to open xcalc and such. The only difference was that, the mouse pointer moved properly with nvidia drivers when fluxbox was trying to open xcalc. With vesa, the pointer lagged like hell! Something interesting did happen though. I had that Unknown device in my lspci output for both Gentoo and FC4 when I was on VIA Unichrome. Now after switching to nvidia, I can see a Host Bridge properly identified in its place. I wonder why that would be? I still am confused about one thing though... which exactly is the 2D driver for VIA Unichrome? I apologise to those who wasted their time reading this thread and replying in it.. but I found the problem worth investigating and I am still intrigued by it..

[gentoo-user]Specific umask for a specific ext3 filesystem
Hello, I have couple of ext3 partitions for my data. I need to mount them in such a way that all the files created on those partitions would always bear a umask which is different from the umask globally set in /etc/profile. How do I achieve this? I tried mounting the partition with umask=whatever option, but apparently, according to man mount, umask option isn't available for ext3. Temporarily, I've put a little code into /etc/conf.d/local.start that checks if the the partitions are mounted and if they are, chmod's them. This, I don't think will be a good idea, once data starts filling up the partition Help would be really appreciated. Thanks, Mrugesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] udev not getting unmounted at shutdown/reboot
Hello, A few days ago my system hung and I had to do a reboot by pressing the power button. Since then I get the following message while shutdown/reboots Remounting remaining filesystems readonly [!!] umount : udev busy - remounted read-only umount : /: device is busy umount : /: device is busy umount : /: device is busy Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue): If I don't do anything then the system reboots in approximately 5 seconds but on reboot it says that / filesystem is NOT clean. I boot into Slackware (my alternate distro) and during boot it replays over 100 transactions on Gentoo partition. It is a kind of routine. I shutdown/reboot, get the above mentioned message and then a filesystem is NOT clean on next boot. How can I get rid of this annoyance? Can this error harm my install any way? Versions I am currently using sys-fs/udev-070-r1 sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r2 I have tried re-emerging udev but it did not help. Googling did not bring any results either.

[gentoo-user] Bug in net.eth0?
Hi,
Some verison info:
Version: # $Header:
/home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/init.d/net.eth0,v 1.41 2004/05/10
14:16:35 agriffis Exp $
Some background info:
I have my ethernet driver compiled into my kernel.
hareesh: hareesh/ $ lspci | grep Ethernet
:00:12.0 Ethernet controller: National Semiconductor Corporation
DP83815 (MacPhyter) Ethernet Controller
The problem:
After I shutdown my eth0 interface I see an UP in the ifconfig output.
hareesh: hareesh/ $ s ifconfig eth0 down
hareesh: hareesh/ $ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:20:C7:25:5C
UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:28225 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:24421 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:22196299 (21.1 Mb) TX bytes:4732287 (4.5 Mb)
Interrupt:11
The /etc/init.d/net.eth0 script does the following check:
script
status_IFACE=$(ifconfig ${1} 2${devnull} | gawk '$1 == UP {print up}')
[...]
if [[ ${status_IFACE} == up ]]; then
einfo Keeping kernel configuration for ${IFACE}
else
ebegin Bringing ${IFACE} up via DHCP
/sbin/dhcpcd ${dhcpcd_IFACE} ${IFACE}
/script
So when I do the following, I get:
# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
* Keeping kernel configuration for eth0
So as we can see, the script hasn't given my interface an IP.
Obviously, when I do this, I get:
hareesh: hareesh/ $ wget www.google.com
--14:09:55-- http://www.google.com/
= `index.html'
Resolving www.google.com... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.
So then, I do:
# /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop
* Bringing eth0 down...
So I guess, if you have the ethernet driver compiled in, ifconfig
interface still seems to show UP, no idea why. So I think, the
script needs to be modified to test if, ifconfig spits a line with
'inet', to truly test if the interface is up.
More importantly, UP just says that the device is functioning
correctly and does not say that interface actually has an IP address
assigned to it. So we need something more to rely on, to actually test
if the interface is up and running with an IP address assigned to it.
My modifications are as follows. This script, is just a hack, so all
you bash gurus please forgive me. Maybe there is a better way of doing
all this with the help of the /proc interface:
patch

So is this a bug in net.eth0 or am I missing something obvious?

Generically modeline is the path to doing this. (I think...) I've done similar things using this site: http://koala.ilog.fr/cgi-bin/nph-colas-modelines That's a good suggestion, but what all the replies so far seem to miss is the fact that refresh rate is a *monitor* setting, not a video card setting (although, because the monitor is a part of the X server-- along with the video card, mouse, and keyboard-- the possible refresh rates are also set in xorg.conf). So the possible refresh rates for any given resolution rely on the monitor's capabilities, not those of the video card. From my own experience, this can sometimes be tricky, depending on the monitor. For example, my monitor is a 17 Eizo F550i-W. From the Eizo site (I don't have a manual, as this was a hand-me-down from an office that was upgrading), I found that the monitor is capable of 1280x1024-- but [EMAIL PROTECTED], which many people find uncomfortable. That's not the problem, though, if I want to use 1280x1024 (which I do); the problem is that Eizo lists their monitor under both Windows and X, meaning that they provide drivers for it, which I can use by selecting the monitor's manufacturer and model during setup (under either Linux or Windows). Except that the manufacturer-provided drivers are *limited* by the manufacturer, to the optimal resolution of [EMAIL PROTECTED] So under either Linux or Windows (when I was still using Windows), I could not use the manufacturer-provided drivers for the monitor, if I wanted to use a resolution of 1280x1024-- that resolution was not available, because the monitor only displays that resolution at 60Hz, and Eizo doesn't want me to use a 60Hz resolution. The only way I am able to set my desktop to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is to not use the manufacturer-provided driver; under Windows I used Generic VESA 1280x1024, and under X I must set my Horizontal and Vertical refresh ranges manually (provided on the manufacturer's site, or in a manual, if I had one). Under X, as long as the ranges are set correctly, X knows that the monitor can display at 1280x1024, and sets the refresh to 60 automatically for that resolution (because the ranges I've given tell it the correct combination of possible resolutions and refresh rates that can be displayed). The point being, you need to know your monitor's specs. Is it in fact capable of displaying [EMAIL PROTECTED] If so, the same place that told you that should tell you the refresh ranges of the monitor. Plug those into xorg.conf rather than whatever defaults might be there (which for me are usually off by quite a bit, especially the horizontal range), and the problem should sort itself after restarting the X server. You can also do this with modelines, but I don't understand them (meaning, I can't look at a modeline spec and know what it's trying to do so that at need I could plug in my own), and so don't bother with them. Hope this helps. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] FN - keys mouse scrollwheel
hi, I have just tried out gnome and uninstalled gdm after. now my FN-keys on the laptop as well as the scrollwheel behaviour of the mouse has changed (it does not scroll up but sideways anymore) and I would like to get both back to to normal again. has anyone an idea how to set this? Karsten

But with modern monitors (I'm not sure of the spec, I think is part of the VESA compliance requirements) the video driver can query the monitor for what refresh rates and modes supported by the monitor. This is what the DDC module in X is for, and why monitors no longer require 'drivers' (which was never a 'driver' anyway, just a .inf that told the video driver what the possible modes were). -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
