Sven Köhler wrote: that is the point, i recompiled after xorg-server update, and before too if that matters ;) I see! So perhaps the ATI-driver is only for xorg up to version 7.0? From gentoo-dev Hi all, Just wanted to make you aware that xorg-server 1.1 (and all release candidates, including 1.0.99 and up) breaks the server-driver ABI from 1.0. This means drivers are not compatible following an upgrade of xorg-server, and both sides will require an update to work again properly. This also means that all binary drivers (nvidia, ati, etc) will be broken with xorg-server 1.1 and RC's until their upstream vendor provides a compatible update. Everything with the new ABI is currently masked, but when X.Org 7.1 is released, will come out of package.mask. We are working to ensure the dependencies work as smoothly as possible, but I expect there will be some issues since it's difficult to require updates to all these optional drivers following an update to the server.

Re: [gentoo-user] No /dev/sda1 with Klingston usb disk. Wrong lsusb output.
I noticed similar behavior on the externally connected usb storage devices. On the example of the SD card reader, when you insert the card, /dev/sdb appears, but not the actual partition (/dev/sdb1) So you have to do fdisk /dev/sdb, then quit, then the /dev/sdb1 is magically available for mounting. Think it is an issue with udev. kos -- Respectfully, Konstantin V.

Re: [gentoo-user] No /dev/sda1 with Klingston usb disk. Wrong lsusb output.
Good. According to processed events, there is a raw disk dedected properly but no partition processed. If you still do not see /dev/sda, try to look for your disk at folowing locations: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-*something* and /dev/disk/by-id/usb-*something*-part1 or /dev/disk/by-path/pci-*something*-usb-*something*-scsi-*something* and /dev/disk/by-path/pci-*something*-usb-*something*-scsi-*something*-part1 or /dev/disk/by-uuid/*something* If you can see your disk but do not see the *-part1 there, then no proper filesystem is found, however you can apply fdisk -l on that path of the raw device instead of /dev/sda and you will see what's wrong with your filesystem. But if you can see *-part1 there, you can just mount it instead of /dev/sda1. Beware you see all other disks in that machine as well in those locations. -- Petr -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] No /dev/sda1 with Klingston usb disk. Wrong lsusb output.

Gavrilenko a écrit : On the example of the SD card reader, when you insert the card, /dev/sdb appears, but not the actual partition (/dev/sdb1) So you have to do fdisk /dev/sdb, then quit, then the /dev/sdb1 is magically available for mounting. I had this problem before, but it's not the case today :-( fdisk has no access to the /dev/sda device. Think it is an issue with udev. No, it's a problem with your kernel. You need to check the option File systems --- Partition Types --- [*] PC BIOS (MSDOS partition tables) support in make menuconfig and you won't need to fdisk to make /dev/sdb1 appear.

Le lundi 17 avril 2006 à 20:22 +0200, Petr Kocmid a écrit : Good. According to processed events, there is a raw disk dedected properly but no partition processed. If you still do not see /dev/sda, try to look for your disk at folowing locations: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-*something* and /dev/disk/by-id/usb-*something*-part1 or /dev/disk/by-path/pci-*something*-usb-*something*-scsi-*something* and /dev/disk/by-path/pci-*something*-usb-*something*-scsi-*something*-part1 or /dev/disk/by-uuid/*something* OK. I have sanduleak ~ # find /dev/disk/ -iname '*usb*' /dev/disk/by-path/usb-0x1043-0x8006:0:0:0 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Generic_USB_Flash_Drive and sanduleak ~ # ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 17 16:53 5f474b72-e854-41ea-974c-71423b8b4592 - ../../hda2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 17 16:53 7cedf5ad-9371-4702-a4e3-953287a66b7b - ../../hda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 17 16:53 b19ce0cf-9e38-44d4-ae9d-5538533ee801 - ../../hda3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 17 16:53 b439c553-6e54-4cba-93ae-1346c38e2d07 - ../../hda5 which tells me that nothing in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ is related to the usbdisk. If you can see your disk but do not see the *-part1 there, then no proper filesystem is found, however you can apply fdisk -l on that path of the raw device instead of /dev/sda and you will see what's wrong with your filesystem. sanduleak ~ # fdisk -l /dev/disk/by-path/usb-0x1043-0x8006:0:0:0 sanduleak ~ # fdisk -l /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Generic_USB_Flash_Drive both do not give any output, like fdisk -l /dev/sda :-( So I sadly do not see what's wrong, since I do not have any output... Thanks anyway : even if it doesn't solve my problem, you teach me things about Linux :-) Any other idea ? Fred -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

From man bash:
${parameter:-word}
Use Default Values. If parameter is unset or null, the expansion of word is
substituted. Otherwise, the value of parameter is substituted.
So for what you want just do:
STRING=a.txt b.txt c.txt
${STRING:-b.txt}
There are tons of ways to manipulate parameters and you should reference the
man page for more. Look under Parameter Expansion for all the
possibilities.
