I just bought a Magellan Triton 400 and installed just about every program with "gps" in the name. When I plug it in and choose "Connect to PC" it stops at the "Waiting to connect" screen. The installed gps programs each reports that no drive is connected. This is my first experience with gps and I'm really perplexed. There are guides to setting up gps with bluetooth, but this is a USB connection.

Running from F-14-i686-LIVE CD to test before I install. I have a Transcend 640GB USB-3 external drive connected through a Transcend pci/express adapter, chipset NEC D720200.
lspci yields: USB Controller: NEC Corp uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller Rev 03.
I see no activity nor any log entries in /var/log/messages when I plug in the USB-3 drive. If I plug the same drive into a USB-2 port on the mainboard, all works as expected.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am relatively new to Fedora 15, but used 13 for a while with no issues. Yesterday a windows user put a flash drive into my computer for me to copy something on to. (This may be conincidental.) I then put the computer into suspend or hibernate or whatever and now it won't start up. At all. And I'm stuck as 'everything' I need is on that computer.

I installed Synaptic Package Manager but it went into three places in the menu but only one of them works. So, how do I know which one to choose? Really crazy. Also, I cannot mount my drive when connected via usb. But, my laptop only has usb ports and no eSATA. I now have to look for a new OS and DE because this one is a disaster.
I have an external Samba network storage drive that I mount using 'mount -t cifs -o username=aaa,password=aaa //myserver /mnt/mountlocation', but I'm finding it to be a pain to enter that whole command every time I turn on that drive and connect it to my computer via the network. I could put that command in a script and run a simple script like 'mntdrive' that would run that command for me, but is there a way to have the drive 'pre-mounted' so that if it's available on the network it's mounted?
If I put the mount command in one of the startup scripts or in fstab, would it be available at the mount location when the drive is connected if it wasn't connected when the computer was first turned on? Or is mounting the drive manually, even if by running a script that does it for me, something I'll have to do every time I turn on that drive? Any creative ways around this? Would make things easier if it is possible.
I have a USB drive connected to my Ubuntu laptop. I tried to create a share but cant access it from other Win PCs. I'm getting access denied even though I'm entering my ubuntu username and password. I'm guessing this has something to do with my drive being NTFS
View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving an issue I've been unable to resolve for for a week now. I've 2 drives, SATA1 for OS and operating files, SATA2 for media storage. came home last week to an update manager window present and error in Transmission stating unable to second drive due to "Read Only" status. the drive was never set to read only status but following the update manager a reboot was needed. once rebooted, the GRUB menu came up (dual boot system), selected Ubuntu then booting stopped. blank black screen with blinking cursor. rebooted several times, checked bios recognition of both drives, replaced cables, switched power to drive to separate cables, used different SATA ports but nothing worked. finally removed the second media storage drive and Ubuntu booted normally. now any time i connect the second drive and reboot it fails to boot into ubuntu or XP. i removed the media drive and installed it in another computer and it worked normally. have searched everything i can but no answers have been found so far. wondering if anyone here has had similar trouble or has idea for what to try.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHard drive is connected to my Inspiron 1525 via USB, plugged in and I'm not seeing the new drive mounted. Restart doesn't fix things and manually trying to mount /dev/sdb1 doesn't work either. The drive I got is preformatted as NTFS and I've been using a logical partition formatted as NTFS as a sort of share drive between my Windows partition and Ubuntu partition, so I know I have NTFS set up properly. This is the hard drive I'm working with for reference.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got Vista installed on my notebook and I've bought an external drive (1,5 TB, but its size shouldn't matter in this case) and after formatting it I left 10 gigs for future purpose. Now, I decided to install 64bit debian on the unallocated 10 gigs. And so I did. To be precise: I have SATA drive inside my lap and hard drive (it's also SATA inside the cover) connected to my lap through USB. Boot sequence was 1)CD/DVD 2)hard drive 3)removable drive. During the installation the installer detected my internal drive as /dev/sda and my external drive as /dev/sdb. I decided to install grub on /dev/sdb (it was logical to me, since I didn't want to mess up my regular drive's MBR). Installer created 5 partitions on my USB drive. After booting from my external drive (look below*) I've got a message saying
Code:
error: no such partition Entering rescue mode... and after that I was in grub rescue console. When I typed ls I've got an output
Code:
(hd0) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) (hd1,msdos5) (hd1,msdos2) (hd1,msdos1)
When I tried to type
Code:
ls (hd0)/
I only got a message
Code:
error: unknown filesystem This occured for all the listed devices... On my internal drive there were (during the installation and running the live cd) 3 partitions detected (vista os, data, rescue disk) so I don't understand the output that ls in rescue console gave me. about booting from external drive: I did that after pressing ESC - I've got a prompt to choose which device I want to boot from - this wasn't working properly; after changing the boot sequence the grub started but with the abovementioned error message...
If there's any info about exact names/types/devices of my installed partitions needed I will run live CD and check it. If any other info is required I will provide it (I tried to describe the problem in the most precise way ) What I was thinking about: maybe there is a problem with ordering of the devices - when I boot from DVD my removable disk is treated as the "second one" and after booting from the removable disk it becames the "first one" or something like that? If any of you have any good info on how mapping of the device names works it would be appreciated, since I couldn't find anything useful or I just don't know what to ask google about.
1) How to install Debian on a removable disk (I had no problems with installing Linux on pendrive but I did that from VirtualBox and it was some time ago) OR how to install GRUB on a removable disk? (unfortunately, I cannot install 64bit system through VirtualBox)
2) What's the logic behind naming devices under /dev? How come the devices in grub have their names mapped as hdx etc and I've read that hdx are the names for IDE/ATA drives and sdx is the proper name for a SATA or USB device

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a SATA drive that worked fine. Then I installed two more hard drives into my system. When these hard drives are installed, if I try to access the SATA drive in Linux, it will start lightly clicking and then the drive will become unavailable. If I power on the machine without the other two hard drives then it works fine. What could be causing this to happen? I don't think it's heat because the two hard drives are far away from the SATA drive.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI wanted to set up a dual disk dual boot system with Fedora 11 on one SATA Hard Disk and Windows XP on the second. I installed Fedora 11 and it mirrored itself onto both disks.This wasn't what I intended, so I removed one disk and installed Windows XP onto the other with the intention of disabling the mirror on the Fedora OS.As expected, I found that Windows will boot up happily on its own, or with both disks connected, but Fedora will now only boot up if the Windows disk is not connected.But when I checked the LVM settings, I found that there is no mirroring set up. I also checked my BIOS and RAID is not enabled.Is there a way that I can get Fedora to boot up with both disks nnected without having to reinstall it?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just built a file server for a photographer using F13 with 4x1TB HDD's in a raid1+0 for 2TB of storage, which is what the photog expects her annual accumulation of images is.When the 2TB volume is filled up she will transfer those images from the server to a 2TB external USB HDD, but she thinks each week she would like to backup new files from the server to the USB HDD.So I have two questions:1) what is good backup software to use on F13 that will only update the files on the USB drive that actually need updating?2) I have never connected a USB HDD to a Linux box, do all USB drives get similarly named in /dev/ so that a script could detect that it has been attached? If so, how are they named, ie. sda, sdb, dvd, fd, etc.?I am developing a simple web interface where the photographer can log into and see server health info at a glance, see raid and HDD status, log files, etc., and I would like to have a button on the web interface page that the user could click after plugging the USB HDD into the server and have a script find it in /dev/ and mount it, then start the backup application to backup/sync the storage volume to the USB HDD with no other user input.

I googled and downloaded akmod, and all got fixed after a reboot.
Latter last night, i got an update message in wich, among other updates, was rmpfusion's aforementioned update, I installed it.
After a reboot, I am connected to my network, ifconfig throws normal stuff (default gateway, ip adresses and subnet mask) and i LOOKS like there should be no problem
however I'm unable to connect to any website, or access any remote server via ssh, or ping anything.
Also, i disabled ipv6 in firefox just in case, and it was no use.
