2013-03-28 Thread Roger Davis
Sorry for the long delay, I've had several personal crises, as well as a
bad case of the crud (still not gone).

I tried setting to soft control in MiniCom, but still no response.

If you know the story about hardware control down, I'd really like to
know it too.

Hi Roger,
try to change flow control to soft.

Upon the change both minicom and hylafax communicate with the modem
well.

Why hardware control is down is another story.

I did that, and tried e-Fax GTK, got:
Socket running on port 9900
efax-0.9a: 20:54:11 opened /dev/ttyS4
AND
Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced an internal error... etc.  (Is there a way to get 
a log of that report - lots of info in there, but all Greek to me...?)
Still says Sending Fax until I click stop.
No dialing, no rings at the other end.

No response from Minicom at all.

2013-02-26 Thread Koen Hendrix
i haven 't had time to look further into this; my apologies. still
haven't got time, but i know that an ubuntu installation requires group
'dialout' for users, and that the relevant character devices have that
too.

so try sudo chown root:dialout /dev/ttyS4 ...

i hope this solves it.

2013-02-25 Thread Roger Davis
I'm still working on the different os boot, but I have noticed the following in 
the meantime:
- ttyS4 shows it belongs to root, and is in the tty group.  All the other ports 
are in the dialout group.  What does this mean?  If that is a problem, how do I 
fix it?
roger@roger-desktop:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyS[01234567]

If the system won't talk to ttyS4, is there a way to make it look like
and work like another port, say ttyS3 ?

BTW, this is a 64 bit system, if that affects anything.

This is a modem driver available for Red Hat.  Might it be of use in any
way in this situation?  If so, how do  I load an .rpm fiile?

http://www.usr.com/support/product-template.asp?prod=5610c

Red Hat Package Manager
USRobotics Corporation is pleased to provide the following Red Hat Package 
Manager (.rpm) support file. This RPM package has been tested under Red Hat 
Linux 6.0 and higher. It should also work with other Linux distributions 
supporting the RPM utility.

Install the RPM file by entering the rpm -i 3ComMdm-1.0-1.i386.rpm
command at the command prompt.

This file can also be used as a basis to write your own script for
UNIX/LINUX hybrids. If you make your own scripts for a hybrid, it would
be appreciated if you could send this script to USRobotics so that we
may post it so that others may benefit as well.

This is a BETA test file which is not supported by USRobotics.

Hi Roger,
if you saw nobody cared about irq 16 after the same boot you made the above 
printing, then you have problem with your USB controller too.
I am going to launch Ubuntu Live CD 10.04 with kernel 2.6.x to check IRQ 
handling with those kernels.
Will share results here.

2013-02-06 Thread Krzysztof Radka
What you see in grub DEAFAULT command line at boot time is taken from 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
What you see at another grub menu item's command line (e.g recovery mode, or 
another kernel version) is taken from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX.

What is there more is pure linux meet, it is kernel image name, root
directory and initramfs specification.

Splash means you want see a picture not text while booting.
When booting printk utility prints a lot of messages to console. To avoid this 
noise most people use quiet kernel option.
All the avoided messages may be seen later in /var/log/dmesg.
It is up to you what you want to see on console at boot time. It will not 
however change any system funcionality.

Upon BIOS upgrade my modem is dumb again.

Many people complain about wrong IRQ care on modern mobos with 3.x.x
kernels. It does not relate to modem cards only. However it is specific
to PCI bus I think. PCI-E has different IRQ handling than PCI. There is
a bus messaging, not PIRQ signalling.

I think I will wait for right solution.

Another more bad experience titled Never buy new hardware for Linux.

2013-02-04 Thread Krzysztof Radka
Do you have UEFI bios?

Can't follow But since the boot line and the file info is different.
What is file info?

My modem is internal, PCI, has 16550A port built-in. It is ttyS4.

It doesn't matter what IRQ has my sound card uses, because IRQ sharing between 
modem ans sound card is in your machine.
In mine there is IIRQ 20 sharing between modem and USB.

Kernel complains about nobody cares are critical messages displayed on
every console. So you do not have to do anything, butwatching the
screen.

[Bug 1087519] Re: Serial port ttyS4 doesn't work in 12.04

2013-02-04 Thread Roger Davis
I did disable on board sound in the BIOS, no help.

File info is the change made in the /etc/default/grub file, whereas
the boot line is the edit made on the grub line during boot.  The
question means - If I alter the /etc/default/grub file and process it
with update-grub, it appears to me that the processed grub file seen
at boot time is very different (transformed) from /etc/default/grub,
so how would I know how to alter the boot time file to allow me to
proceed and fix the  /etc/default/grub file if I screw it up?

It appears that the functionality of our modems is very similar, but
still somewhat different.

In order to see the nobody cares messages (if they exist), maybe I
should remove the quiet splash from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet
splash in the grub file?  , or does this just affect some splash
screen, not any messages?

Thanks!

[Bug 1087519] Re: Serial port ttyS4 doesn't work in 12.04

2013-02-03 Thread Krzysztof Radka
Roger,
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEAFAULT attaches its options to default GRUB menu item only.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX does it for each item (recovery modes too).

Since you can edit GRUB item line at while boot time, it is up to you which one 
to choose.
But there is no reason to change any of those lines if you did not succeed by 
editing grub start lines.

Re: GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND
the GNU Grub Manual says it is to conf serial line, while booting box via it.

Please confirm or not that pci=nocrs is just temporary in the active
(by pressing shift, then escape) grub screen, and will disappear on the
next boot.

Everything you enter to GRUB command WHILE BOOTING your box (i.e. upon
pressing e while Grub menu is seen) is TEMPORARY and active for that
particular boot only. Therefore you can test new options being added to
kernel in a safe way.

What you add to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX... and issue update-grub afterwards is 
active for all next system launches.
==

I experienced my problems upon upgrading to Ubu 12.04 LTS from 8.04 and 
changing my mobo to AMD990FX-based (Asus Sabertooth). My modem is ZOOM PCI 2920 
(not sure about the number).
First success came upon adding pci=routeirq option. Then I upgraded BIOS to 
version 1604 and modem got not accessible again (frankly speaking it was 
accessible all that time, but its replies went to nowhere due to wrong IRQ 
assignment).

Look at your /var/log/dmesg and grep ttyS there. Focus on IRQ number assigned 
by kernel. Check in /proc/interrupts if that number is used by bus you have put 
your modem into, and what device driver cares about that IRQ. You should find 
8250 or serial as driver names for your modem if it operates right ( not 
your case alas!).
So if there is IRQ number assigned at boot time ( as checked in dmesg log), and 
there is not right driver assigned to that IRQ at run time ( as seen in 
/proc/interrupts) you should focus on investigating events happened in between.

If nothing helps you may try kernel option irqpoll. The option will
make CPU to care about the interrupts. In general the option will slow
machine, but this may not be your case if you are not running several
GigaEthernets links.

As a valuable experience you may connect the modem to phone line and
call the modem through another phone. I wonder if you would see kernel
complains about nobody cares on your terminal.

OK, I understand that items altered in Grub at boot time are temporary.
But it is confusing to me why the suggested change to the file
(permanent) is different ( pci=nocrs  and
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=8250.nr_uarts=5 pci=nocrs ).  Do they actually
have the same result?  The pci=nocrs is without the uarts=5...

2013-02-03 Thread Krzysztof Radka
Both you and me we do have new mobos. Yours is decent Intel piece, mine
decent AMD one. One clue more to look for problem source on operating
system's side.

 Dont worry about system boot upon GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX... change. You can
always play with kernel options at boot time and revert changes.

8250.nr_uarts=5 is used by me to limit unnecessary memory occupation by 
inexsisting ports. Standard 3.x.x  kernel reserves room for 32 uarts, often 
invain.
You can limit the number by this option or leave 32 as it is.

I see IRQ 17 is shared between modem and sound card. Try to switch off
audio in BIOS or pull out of the slot if it is a card.

What I found most interesting is that IRQ 17 appears in /proc/interrupts
only while using minicom. It should be there or missing all the time,
AFAIK

Kernel complains about nobody cares IRQ 17 shall be displayed on every
console, even prior to any login action. This is a critical system
message and as such is broadcasted ( as ordered by syslog.conf ).

2013-02-03 Thread Roger Davis
About the sharing of IRQ 17, which is hardware (?), this machine also
runs in Windows 7 (completely separate hard drive, not seen in Linux),
and the modem works fine there.  So would Ubuntu treat this differently
than Windows 7?  I'll look in a few minutes about if this is in the
BIOS, don't think it's a separate card.

Also, since this is a confirmed bug, it probably happens on different
systems, mobos, sound, etc. ?

But since the boot line and the file info is different, how will I know
how to undo the file effect at boot edit?   Dont worry about system
boot upon GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX... change. You can always play with kernel
options at boot time and revert changes.

Just to make sure, your modem is internal, with a built-in serial port
of it's own?  What IRQ is your modem on?  What IRQ is your sound on?

How do I check on Kernel complains about nobody cares IRQ 17 ?  Or
is this something that might be hidden by the -
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash in the grub file?  Maybe I
should remove this line value quiet splash?

What I found most interesting is that IRQ 17 appears in
/proc/interrupts only while using minicom. It should be there or missing
all the time, AFAIK  - Any ideas on how to investigate this?

2013-02-02 Thread Roger Davis
OK, I tried both lines.  System would not boot with pci=routeirq
added.  It would boot with pci=nocrs, but again ttyS4 would not work.

The way your previous message reads is a bit confusing to me.  By (for
test if works), do you mean to test if it will boot, or test if the
serial port works?  If the serial port should have worked, I'm out of
luck again.

I guess the addition by editing the active grub lines is just to test
for that one start if the system will operate with either one of the
additions, and to determine which one will work?  BTW, the line in the
active grub was much different from either
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash  or  - GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=,
but it did contain both quiet and splash.

Please confirm or not that pci=nocrs is just temporary in the active
(by pressing shift, then escape) grub screen, and will disappear on the
next boot.

My best guess now would be to:
- add pci=nocrs and the rest of your line to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=, 
giving me
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=8250.nr_uarts=5 pci=nocrsin  /etc/default/grub
- run sudo update-grub in Terminal

But I have two GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX lines.  They are :
- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash
- GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=

Please confirm the correct one to add to is  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=

Thanks!

[Bug 1087519] Re: Serial port ttyS4 doesn't work in 12.04

2013-02-01 Thread Krzysztof Radka
1. Reboot the machine
2. Press ESC upon GRUB menu appeared
3. Press e to enter edit mode of GRUB command launching kernel
4. find line with kernel options - it should contain one or more words quiet, 
splash, image
6. fix cursor at the and of the line and enter pci=routeirq (w/o quotes)
7. press F10 to make GRUB go on.

If things will go well - add the option to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX as
described in my previous post

If thing will not go well, repeat the above procedure, but this time
enter the option pci=nocrs ( the newer motherboard/BIOS you have the
more likely you will require it).

Good luck!

[Bug 1087519] Re: Serial port ttyS4 doesn't work in 12.04

2013-01-31 Thread Krzysztof Radka
Hi Roger,
finally solved similar problem with my server. The solution is to add kernel 
option PCI=routeirq while booting (for test if works) and if it does to 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub. Then run update-grub.

My GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX parameter is as follows:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=8250.nr_uarts=5 PCI=routeirq

The former kernel option limits ttySx devices to required number.

Hope this will help you.
Cheers

[Bug 1087519] Re: Serial port ttyS4 doesn't work in 12.04

2013-01-07 Thread Koen Hendrix
it's normal you need sudo to delete the configuration file in /etc.

if the following is literal: cannot write to etc./minicom/minird.xxx, there 
is an odd problem with the path (etc./).
if it's not literal, you probably need to start minicom with sudo to make sure 
it can write a file in /etc .

i still think this is crucial: All I can say is that Minicom flashes
Initializing modem at first, and that the Minicom cursor usually
disappears when I'm typing the commands.; you should be able to locally
echo what you type in the minicom console. you don't know what minicom
is using for initialisation (hence the need to try running it without
any configuration file; initialisation with the wrong string would mess
things up).

since it doesn't work in wvdial or cutecom either, i agree the problem
is probably related to the serial port.

if you have a cd/dvd in this box, you could try the following: reset
your modem to defaults in windows; then boot the live dvd/cd installer
of ubuntu, don't reinstall but simply use the desktop environment,
install minicom in that environment (sudo apt-get install minicom; this
will work in the live environment) and try if that works. this would
rule out any misconfiguration by your hand.

one more thing: setserial describes a 16550A uart and your lshw output
describes a 16550. i have no idea whether that makes a difference, but
setserial allow setting a 16550.

from your lspci output: Kernel driver in use: serial; this is not a
module, correct?

try booting in windows, and resetting the modem to factory default with 
hardware flow control (ATZ4); then boot in ubuntu, 
try deleting any minicom configuration you have (user and system-wide), and 
start minicom with -s (this way, minicom will not initialise the modem); then 
try to match minicom settings with your modem's configuration (flow control, 
...).

I had to start Nautilus as sudo to delete the config files, and am still

[Bug 1087519] Re: Serial port ttyS4 doesn't work in 12.04

2013-01-05 Thread Roger Davis
I've tried the commmand mode  by +++ many times.  I've tried reset in
Ubuntu, and also going to the Windoze side of this same machine where
the modem works fine, and resetting it, then going straight back to
Ubuntu and checking responses.  All is still the same, no response, no
echo, no nothing in Ubuntu.  Windoze works fine.

All I can say is that Minicom flashes Initializing modem at first, and
that the Minicom cursor usually disappears when I'm typing the commands.
Nothing else...

The experience reminds me of trying to speak to a profoundly deaf person
- you can say anything you want, but it doesn't get through and you get
no response...  Actually that's bettter, because the deaf person at
least knows you are trying to communicate something to them.

I take it that none of the other info I recently posted shed any light
onto the situation?

What should I do next?

Thanks!

I just looked in the BIOS for any setting for IRQ or ports.  I couldn't
find any.

Roger, you said: Just to make sure it's clearly understood, this modem
is basically an internal sportster with it's own serial card / port at
ttyS4. 

it is a device on a pci-lane. it should identify itself with a vendor
id, which should show up in dmesg or probe by lspci...

[Bug 1087519] Re: Serial port ttyS4 doesn't work in 12.04

2012-12-29 Thread Koen Hendrix
are you sure the modem is awake (as in, no software magic or no bios
needs to wake it up)?

that modem has firmware that can be updated; do you have the latest?

what happens if you send a regular hayes command to the modem, for example: 
escape, speaker always on, volume up and a pause (to hear a line)?
 $ echo '+++'/dev/ttyS4
 $ echo ATM2L3/dev/ttyS4
 $ echo ATD/dev/ttyS4
do you now hear a dialtone (i am assuming it has a speaker)?

it's a usrobotics; i remember these had a slightly different command
stack in the eighties and the nineties. but it should take standard
hayes command nevertheless. the usr.com page doens't list a datasheet...

from your dmesg:
  [ 1.365228] :04:01.0: ttyS4 at I/O 0xd000 (irq = 17) is a 16550A
this looks like a serial port, not like a fax/modem. do you have anything else 
in your dmesg that points to a modem? what does lspci tells you? try sudo 
lspci -vvvk and see if the modem is listed

to post the traces: they should be written to files automatically, just
post these as attachments? make sure you do a trace of your problem
(sending a fax):

what is your output of sudo setserial -av /dev/ttyS4? if setserial
doesn't exist, you can sudo apt-get install setserial it.

what is your output of sudo stty -a -F /dev/ttyS4?

2012-12-28 Thread Roger Davis
If the below doesn't help, please give me details on how to get the
information you want.  It will be at least Monday before I can check it,
unless I hear from you in the next couple of hours.

The strace items were so long that it would be almost impossible to get
them in here, and the top portions were trundcated so I couldn't see
which one was being straced in  many cases.  Can you let me know how to
handle these to get you useful info?

Thanks!

How can I approach this problem?  I need a working serial port.

With a fix or a work-around I can do?

Is there some kind of add-on I can use?

Is this in process to be fixed in the kernel  or other segment?

[Bug 1087519] Re: Serial port ttyS4 doesn't work in 12.04

2012-12-10 Thread Kees Schoenmakers
The fact that the _devicenode_ exists does not necessarely mean that it
is allocated in the kernel. So /dev/ttyS4 may show up with ls but may
fail when you try to use it. Check CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS in
your kernel config file. Most likely place is in /boot.

The user who is to use a serial port should be in the 'dialout' group.
Remember that you need to logout/login to make changes in this area
effective.

[Bug 1087519] Re: Serial port ttyS4 doesn't work in 12.04

2012-12-09 Thread Roger Davis
I think an important question at this point is : Is this problem only in
Ubuntu, or is it also in the main Linux kernel, or other distros?

Depending on this answer, help may be available to fix this problem
asap, other people besides just Ubuntu would be available.

2012-12-09 Thread Kees Schoenmakers
For one, check that your kernel support registration of more than 4
ports if you want to use /dev/ttyS4. The standard config is set to 4.

In the case that it tells you port is in use, check for a dangling lock
file. cu will create a lock in order to prevent double access. 'lsof'
may help you to find if an application is accessing the port (too).

dmesg may reveal how many serial ports are allocated during boot.

Finally 'strace -f -ff -o /tmp/APP  application +args is invaluable
with solving  problems.

less /tmp/APP* will show you all system calls, loads , accesses and so.
Multiple APP* files may mean that the main application forked or multi-
threaded. While looking with 'less' search for 'open' calls and look
return status.

healthy and connected to the right serial port)

nothing can be found in any logs, and i don't see any way to debug this
from userland. do we really need to hook up a kernel debugger to get a
serial line working in a modern unix?

to rule things out, i made a polkit action definition for this. logs
confirmed the action definition worked. i tried the above scenarios with
polkit's pkexec. it didn't make any difference.

to rule things out, i tried making a pam exception for this
(capabilities), by adding some lines to /etc/security/group.conf and
creating /etc/pam.d/cu. it didn't make any difference, but i'm not sure
my pam configuration was entirely correct.

to rule things out, i started fiddling with /bin/stty (which shouldn't
be needed). it didn't make any difference. for the record:

$ sudo stty -a

(this is interesting! apparently baudrate was set by cu?)

2012-12-07 Thread Koen Hendrix
i have a very similar problem: trying to use a serial console (rs232c-
cable attached to serial port /dev/ttyS0) with 'cu'. this used to work
in older ubuntu-releases. this doesn't work anymore, and it is
apparently not related to permissions. on the exact same hardware, this
does work with with 'cu' under openbsd and netbsd.

This is baffling to me.

ALL the serial functions don't work, doesn't matter which app.

Can I list the installer for Ubuntu as a package?
