General :: Is Firewire Drive Emulation Possible With A PC?
Oct 20, 2010
Is there an application that allows one to 'export' a drive or virtual disk image to firewire so that the machine at the other end sees the computer as a regular firewire drive? Apple computers can do that via their target disk mode (hold down t on boot), but I am searching for an application that would work under Windows or Linux.The goal is to boot an older Apple iBook, which can not boot from USB, via this emulated firewire drive.
I want to add a Lacie external drive to x64 box with SL55, but it has only Firewire interface. After searching a bit the net I could not find a working solution how to make the PCI card and the drive recogizable by the system, even if I removed Firewire from RHEL blacklist. The system does not see this piece of hardware. Does anyone has a positive experience with RHEL/SL with that issue? Similar trends search lists only quite old treads - ane recent experience?
I just installed a new clean copy of Ubuntu 11.04 onto a Dell XPS M1710 laptop. I believe it has a generic Texas Instruments Firewire controller. Plugging in a standard Firewire disk does nothing. If I boot with the device and run �dmesg|grep firewire�, I get:
Code:
[ 1.327138] firewire_ohci 0000:03:01.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 [ 1.388103] firewire_ohci: Added fw-ohci device 0000:03:01.0, OHCI v1.10, 4 IR + 4 IT contexts, quirks 0x1 [ 1.888144] firewire_core: created device fw0: GUID 354fc0001a369961, S400
[code]...
How can I install the necessary modules to make this work?
With CentOS-5.5, centos plus enabled, my LaCie external hard drives are not recognized even though connected and powered up before booting. I am logging in as root. Previous 2.4 kernel RHEL Enterprise 3 required a special scanning script which worked with this computer. This current system will not recognize the drives as hardware. On the other hand the drives with USB 2.0 ports automount connected with USB and also are recognized in the hardware list. what diagnostics to do to find out what layers / drivers are missing.
I just finished installing Lucid Lynx on an iMac7,1. So far, everything looks good, except for the fact that I am unable to access my external firewire drive. I know that outside of the Mac world, firewire isn't seen very often, but I was under the impression that it was supported. It doesn't show up in the /mnt directory of my new system, or my desktop. Then again, I am new to Ubuntu, and the filesystem looks a bit different from Mac and Debian, the two other *nix filesystems that I am the most familiar with. It shows up fine in Snow Leopard.
I'm on Ubuntu9.10 with pulseaudio setup, everything works fine so far. But when I try to record my Desktop with xvidcap or recordmydesktop I'm unable to get the sound working.
xvidcap uses only OSS so I tried to setup the emulation by loading the kernel modules and adding the following lines to /etc/modules:
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
How does one switch between command line and keypad modes when using the jed editor with EDT emulation?
OpenVMS User's Manual states that when using the EDT editor if the user wants to control EDT using the keypad, the mode needs to be set for keypad rather than command line input:
I am using:
with this .jedrc file:
Using the -batch shows that the .jedrc file is correctly located.
I'm running Debian (both Sarge and Lenny, on different systems) under Gnome and have a number of thin client workstations that connect to a software application on an AIX server. I'm using gnome-terminal to provide terminal emulation for this software. Unfortunately, the emulation leaves something to be desired, and doesn't catch all of the F keys properly. It seems F1-F4 act as some form of escape key, exiting out of the software back to the command line, when they should be performing different functions in the software. F5 and F6 work as they should in the emulation. Is there a setting I can apply to my gnome-terminal launcher that will make this behave like it I want? The terminal should ideally match the behavior of a Link MC5 terminal (we have some of these old beasts still around, still crunching away), but alas, I don't know how to implement this.
I am trying to use the free program Putty for emulation , I use Reflection before , Reflection use unixlink as protocol to download , but this protocol is not in Putty I tried sz is also not work , if I want to download files via Putty , what protocal that I can use ?
I'm currently pursuing a CCNA certification. I need to use a so called "Eagle Server" to do my lab exercises. I have the Linux Live CD (FEDORA CORE 3 KERNEL 2.6.12) and I have installed it on a laptop that I have (TOSHIBA EQUIUM M50-164, PSM57E). This laptop had Windows XP installed, so I created a 4GB FAT partition and booted with the Live CD.I need the CD in the tray every time I want to run Linux. Without the CD, it boots to Windows XP. Also, according to Eagle Server documentation, any modification to the server is available even after reboot. Well, that is not happening to me. Does someone have a clue why the server doesn't save the modifications? Is it because I need the Live CD to boot, even after I have installed on a FAT partition?
Eagle server supports only 1 network interface card, eth0. When I first run the server it showed me that the hardware mapped to eth0 was my wireless adapter. There is no option to disable it in my BIOS, so I just removed the hardware myself. After rebooting it show eth1394 on eth0. I presume that is the FireWire Adapter.What can I do so that eth0 is mapped to my LAN adapter (Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet)?Is there a way do disable FireWire?Please remember that due to 1st problem above, any changes to the server are not available after reboot So the main problem is that I can't ping from Eagle Server to the router and vice-versa
I just setup a FireWire audio interface. Everything works fine, except for I need rw-rw-rw- permissions on /dev/fw0. I can always sudo chmod 666 /dev/fw0 just before setting the thing up, but then it will be gone on the next rebooting.The solution to modify /etc/udev/rules.d/020-permissions.rules (which is for Ubuntu Breezy) doesn't go well for Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick because there is no /etc/udev/rules.d directory.
I want to import raw High Def video into my computer so I can edit it on Cinelerra. Ubuntu doesn't allow you to use the ieee 1394 cable by default and everything I've tried to make it work, hasn't!!I don't want to go back to windows, pay a ton of money for some video editing software when there is an excellent video editing program already on my computer.]
I have a FireWire camera LifeSize connected to my PC in the FireWire interface. My PC has miniPCI slot and with external converter its having a FireWire interface. Now its Ubuntu who is not showing me anything at all when i try:
$ uname -a Linux desktop 2.6.38-11-generic-pae #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 20:51:21 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
How can I make terminal applications immune to terminal emulator close, but still able to use all virtual terminal features?
egin{UPDATE}I want my terminal application remain alive and accessible if I accidentally close terminal emulator. This functionality is provided by screen and tmux, but they have issues with colors and they flush screen.Yes,I can run the shell inside screen, but I do not want the shell remain alive unless there is some other program running.
end{UPDATE}I see this must be something like screen, but without VT100 terminal emulation, something which will just apply whatever application does with "terminal proxy"'s terminal (like outputting something to stdout/stderr or using stty to set terminal options) to the terminal this proxy runs in.
// I know about screen and altscreen on, but it makes either this (screen with TERM=screen):
or this (screen with TERM=rxvt-unicode):
while I want this (rxvt-unicode without screen):
I have figured out that everything looks fine if I compile rxvt-unicode with USE=-xterm-color (in fact vim looks like on the second picture even without screen if I add this USE flag) and set TERM=screen-256color, but I do not like this workaround because it actually changes colors and I can't be sure that it will always change them only this way:
I'm trying to install smlnj 110.73 on a 64 bit lucid, and during installation, it complains of no 32-bit support.
Having zero knowledge of how 32-bit emulation is triggered in Ubuntu, all the leads I have to go on is this piece of shell script used by the installer to determine the architecture and emulation:
Code: # # on 64-bit linux systems, we need to check to see if the 32-bit emulation # support is installed # if [ x"$ARCH" = "xx86" -a x"$OPSYS" = "xlinux" ] ; then
Dowloaded 10.04 beta 2 64 bit iso and was trying to install it into a VM. Upon boot however is comes up with something like "cant install it on your 32bit machine". I'm fairly sure my laptop has a 64 bit architecture (for example, i have the "lm" flag when i cat the /proc/cpuinfo), so is there a way to convince VB that I have a 64 bit machine? unless there is a better way to find out if my CPU is indeed NOT 64 bit?
I have a GRUB2 USB multiboot setup. Plus I have a multiboot setup on my computer with Ubuntu 9.10, PCLinuxOS, Windows XP, and Fedora 13. The issue I'm having is different but the same. On my USB multiboot, Fedora will hang up on certain devices. Things such as touchpad, bluetooth, etc. On my PC it hangs up on first the bluetooth, then I unplug, then the USB hub, then the mouse and finally the external hard drive. It detects the devices but it freezes on detection. I did get this error before the device detection began:

this is on the PC and the problem with the USB is that it will hang up when detecting devices.
I'm trying to get Apple II emulation up and running with xmess. I've been searching for info on how to do this and it seems like it should be fairly simple. I've downloaded the apple2.zip bios file and placed it in /usr/share/games/xmess/bios
If I run the following command:
Code:
I get this output
Code:
It seems that then I should be able to simply issue the following command and be off and running:
Code:
The emulator opens, I get a warning telling me to type OK and then get to a display that basically says this:
Typing anything gets me to a command line, but there doesn't seem to be anything there (not surprising based on the "---" on the previous screen). Typing "CATALOG" shows nothing.
Does anyone know how to use this emulator or has run into the same problem. I think that I'm doing things correctly, but it just doesn't seem to be recognizing the dsk file.
I am trying to use one serial port simultaniously for two different programs. I have a two programs that use GPS information that I would like to run at the same time. At this time only one program at a time can access a serial port. I have found a way to emulate this in Windows so that I can have both running, now I'm trying to do the same in Ubuntu. Is it possible? If yes, How? The GPS receiver is connected via a USB port.
I'm under Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron using pulseaudio. I've got 2 soundcards : one internal AC97 7.1 without midi (card 0 in ALSA) and a PCI C-MEDIA 2.1 with OPL3 midi (card 3 in ALSA) I have sound in most ALSA or OSS applications with full 7.1 + 2.1 duplex. I have MIDI playback in any ALSA MIDI players (client 29:0 in ALSA).
I'm trying to run Final Doom for W95 on WINE with OSS driver. I have sound effects but no MIDI music. I tryed with padsp and aoss wrappers. I know I can use ALSA driver in wine or timidity, but I would rather use padsp + hardware MIDI if possible. How do I configure ALSA OSS emulation for MIDI playback and check that it's working ? I tryed playmidi but whatever I told it, it couldn't find any midi device.
After upgrading from OS11.1 to 11.2 I am annoyed by the fact that no configuration options exist any more to customize for my mouse. This is a 2-button trackball very ergonomic for people. that are prone to have RSI problems like me, a real solution.
Before in 11.1 I could use Yast to set up X that it would emulate a scrollwheel with the right button. Unfortunately now with 11.2 all has to be recognised automatically and they simply threw out the mouse configuration in Yast, leaving us with some useless console mouse configuration. Not every upgrade means an improvement, which seems very much like ....
Could somebody help me or give me pointers what is the procedure to recover this emulated scrollwheel functionality? I know it has to do with xorg.conf, but I don't have that file and without this good start it will be difficult for me to get anywhere. How is this file re-created?
i would like a combination of left and right mouse clicks to get me the same effect as the middle mouse does. when i first used the middle mouse button this stopped happening
I am running debian testing, most functions seem to be working very well on this system!
Intel Core i5-4200U Intel HD Graphics 4400
touchscreen works. (left click when tap, scrolling in compatible programs.)i have tried a few ways to emulate right click, but not working thus far. i would like to point out i am running lxde, i found one workaround i have not tried that uses gconf. URL...

Server has DQ35JO board, 8GB memory, multiple SATA hard drives. It was happily running Fedora 10, and Fedora 9 before that. I downloaded and burned the F11 DVD, booted it, did an install which is:
-- delete the LVMs -- create a 200 MB /boot on ext3, the rest of /dev/sda on ext3 as / -- reformat the swap partition on /dev/sdb1 -- leave the other file systems alone (they are all ext3)
I chose no optional packages and let it install. It finished normally and got to the "click to reboot" screen. Now, my server is completely bricked. When I power it up I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor. I cannot even get to the BIOS, or boot my Fedora DVD, much less boot the boot drive.
I have been searching the forums for quite a while, to add extra Loopback adapter in Centos 5.1, but no success! Could you please suggest me the steps? in Windows, it is quite easy to add as many adapters as you want. wondering, if this is even possible in Linux? I have to run GNS3/Dynamips for router emulation and bind those Loopback adapters to virtual routers!
When I boot it takes about 5 seconds for the firewire device (fw0) to load. I don't use firewire and I would like to disable it to help improve my boot time. My BIOS doesn't have an option to turn it off. Is there a way I can turn it off in Ubuntu?
