[Bug 311890] Re: imon driver does not work, irw crashes lircd

2009-01-24 Thread Jacob Jarick
I wouldnt wait for any ubuntu dev's to help mate, they dont actually do
any coding they just compile the package and their done. Ive been
through a similar issue with ubuntu before and your 2 best choices are
to buy different hardware or swap to another Distro.

Im going to be using anyremote with a usb bluetooth adaptor to get this
HTPC up and running.

> I can assure you the issue absolutely has nothing to do with NTFS.

Yes as I said in my previous post, fault ntfs-3g is not at fault in this
case.

I emailed the manufacturer of my drives and this was their response
(unfortunately):

The bug does persist with your power saving caddies and the linux kernel
in 2.6.25, is their a linux version of your tool available to adjust the
drive idle times ?.

While watching the copy, I noticed the psc power down during a copy, the
kde copy dialog stalled while the messages "usb 2-4: reset high speed

copy did resume once, picked back up normal speed but powered down again
a 2nd time and failed to come back online.

trying to remount the device has been working over the past few days but
not today, output (note I use labels for mounting):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt# umount usb2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt# mount usb2
Error opening '/dev/sdc1': No such device or address

You seem to have a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware and must use an activated,
different device under /dev/mapper/, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1)
to mount NTFS. Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for help.

Power cycling fixed the device. I will note this drive is a bit old and
noisy but has never presented any issues when in use on my fileserver
(connected internally). The issues are also not present in windows xp on
any machines. I would suspect ntfs to be contributing to the issue but
the other identical psc has the same issue though it doesnt not need to
be power cycled as often.

I did contact welland regarding the issue and the had this to say:

Dear Customer,
 
Thanks for your mail and purchased our product.
Pls. use our power saving AP tool to control the time of power down.
 
By the way, may I know where are you from? Thanks.
 

Thanks & Best regards,

-EOF-

I does seem they didnt realise I am in linux but I will plug these psc
into a windows pc, use the tool to raise the timeout and retry. The
latest kernel does not seem to fix the issue after all but it does seem
an improvement.

[Bug 61235] Re: USB mass storage stops working after a while

2008-05-02 Thread Jacob Jarick
I have had both welland power saving drives fail with the errors since the 
140gb copy. Interestingly the failures only seem to happen after the drives 
have been idle for a long time (~ 1 hour +). Seems doing a ls /mnt/usb3 will 
fail or return a weird listing. The devices will resume working (which never 
used to on earlier kernels) after doing this:
umount drive
Power cycle drive
mount drive.

here is my /var/log/messages from when I was getting the drive back online:

2008-05-01 Thread Jacob Jarick
Transfer test worked excellent last night, I shifted 140gb from 1
welland caddy to the other welland caddy (Welland caddies are one of the
ones containing the chipset pre 2.6.25 has issues with). So solution can
be confirmed.

[Bug 61235] Re: USB mass storage stops working after a while

2008-05-01 Thread Jacob Jarick
Well after alot of searching via google I came across this thread, not
much in the way of answers but enough research done to dismiss the
"faulty caddy/usb controller/ hardware" excuse. Seems its just an issue
with ubuntu's current kernel. 2.6.25 does not have the issue. I have
created the needed deb's for people who do not like compiling their own
kernel (hosted via rapidshare due to size). A side note for people who
do upgrade to the latest kernel beware that the nvidia drivers currently
do not work without patching them, check the link below on howto patch
the driver yourself or just download the 1 I have uploaded to
rapidshare.

I will post the links to the files once the upload has finished
(hopefully tonight but I do only have 25kb upstream).

To install the new kernel simply do the following commands:
tar xjvf linux-headers-2.6.25-custom.tar.bz2
dpkg -i linux*2.6.25-custom*.deb

To compile the kernel yourself download the latest from http://www.kernel.org 
and then follow this very nice ubuntu howto:
https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/kernel-baking.html

If you happen to have a nvidia card like I mentioned before and wish to 
manually patch the driver yourself read this forum thread:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=110088


Note: I misnamed the archive when creating it it was ment to be 
linux-2.6.25-custom.tar.bz2 not linux-headers-2.6.25-custom.tar.bz2, but I 
assure you it has the debs you want.
