OpenSUSE :: 11.1 - VirtualBox Sees All USB Ports As Unavailable?
Apr 16, 2010
I just set up Suse 11.1 64bit and installed Virtual Box 3.1.6. I had it running previously with no problems, however, this time I can't get it to recognize any USB ports. In fstab I entered the line
None /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1000,devmode=664 0 0
and ran mount -a (no go)
I loaded Vmware Player and it uses the USB ports perfectly fine (go figure) I added to the "none" line auto,
busgid=1000,busmode=0775,devgid= etc.
Still a no go - vmware uses them no matter what I have in "fstab" what am I missing with Vbox?
I installed VirtualBox 3.2.10 running Windows XP Pro and I don't have Access to my USB Ports in XP.VirtualBox shows the ports but they are grayed out and XP device manager lists Intell 82801FB/FBM USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 265CStandard OpenHCD USB ControllerUSB Root ControllerUSB Root Controllerunder device manager but when I click the USB Root Ports it shows nothing attached and says that there are 8 ports available in each HUB.If I plug in a device Windows does not detect a new device or report any kind of errors about USB devices and there are no yellow exclamation points under Device Manager.
I am running 11.04 with a dual boot of vista. I am also running virtualbox (downloaded from oracles site) I installed the extension pack from their website, I have added a new filter and I am in the user group but still virtualbox will not see the usb ports or the device plugged in. The reason for running virtualbox is if I can get the usb to work, I will then remove vista completely from my system and just virtualbox for the only two programmes that do not work in Ubuntu.
Trying to use Yast2, and it gives errors: " can't access installation media [url] " and this is with all the repositories that used to work fine. Not sure what it could be? I tried to use a mirror, and I got the same results.
Does Yast2 use a port other than port 80 to connect to the repositories? I have not updated the firewall since using Yast last. Have the repository servers been updated since the release of 11.3, to make some editing of the repositories in Yast necessary?
I'd like to upgrade to suse 11.2 (currently using suse 10.2) and I've attached an external hard drive to save some data on, but it will only mount read-only, by either automount or by command line.
Here's the mount command I use (as root): mount -t ntfs -o rw /dev/sdb1 /media/ExpansionDrive
But when I look, permissions are dr-x------ 1 root root 4096 2009-12-05 13:38 cgate
Some related discussion on the opensuse forums has mentioned ntfs-3g, but my external filesystem type is ntfs. ntfs-3g is not available on my system currently or when I search for it with yast. I'm assuming I don't necessarily need ntfs-3g in order to mount my drive as read-write, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
How To Mount NTFS Filesystem Partition Read Write Access in openSUSE
However, these have not been specific enough to solve this particular issue. I can't think of any other possible problems other than the ntfs-3g.
Not sure if this is necessary, but I'm using SUSE 10.2, kernel 2.6.18.2-34, and the external drive is a Seagate 1TB.
All of a sudden, Dolphin is identifying .xls files as "OLE2 compound document storage (application/x-ole-storage)." I searched for xls in Configure desktop, file associations and it still appears as application-vnd.ms-excel. It does not appear as x-ole-storage.
Other spreadsheets (ods, xlsx) are still identified correctly and open automatically in the proper program. This is a new behavior, and I'm assuming it has to do with something I updated in Yast. I'm using KDE 4.6.2 under 11.4.
As a workaround, I added the .xls extension to the file association for x-ole-storage, which allows Dolphin to open the file automatically, but it still asks me to install software to handle the file type. I answer no and then the file opens in Libre Office.
Before adding .xls to the file association, I tried to get this to happen automatically by going through the open with other application menu and checking always use this application. This had no effect.
Observed on two host systems both with openSUSE 11.3 32 bit using ext4: When a big files, in this case a 1.2 GB and a 1.7 GB is copied from DVD, usb harddrive or shared folder into a Windows 7 32 bit guest system, the copied file is corrupted. The md5sum has changed and until the guest system has been rebooted successive md5sum tests on the same file comes up with various results... After a reboot md5sum tests show consistent results, but a sum different from the original file.
I have just installed openSuse 11.4 KDE 64-bit on a Dell M1330. When I click on my networking panel, it says WLAN interface is unavailable. I've followed the steps in the stickied post and found the WLAN hardware info, a screenshot of which is below:Uploaded with ImageShack.usNext it says to do this - you need to look at the logs, in particular the info in /var/log/boot.msg. To see this, you need YaST => Miscellaneous => System Logs and select boot.msg.In YaST there is no such option for system logs under miscellaneous, so I can't do that. The results of the sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan command produce the following:
root's password: lo Interface doesn't support scanning. eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
I was trying to install VirtualBox through the YaST > Software Management but it is not working, someone in the forum told me that I have to download the OSE version and do it manual way. Finally I am able to start up VB but not able to use the network connection. Thus I am trying to do this:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. I get this error:

When I type dmesg, it shows me a bunch of info which I don't know what should look for. When I type modprobe vboxnetflt, I get the error: FATAL: Error inserting vboxnetflt (/lib/modules/2.6.37.1-1.2-default/updates/vboxnetflt.ko): Invalid module format. what should I do in order to get my VB to be able to connect to the internet?
I'm writting an app for desktop and embedded linux and I need to get information about the multiserial port, and I need to know which port is been used (by a printer, por example).The multiserial I'm using is an Altera Corporation Device 0004, and I just need to tell how many ports are there and how many is been used.
how to open firewall ports without using yast. The reason I'm asking is because I'm working on a .sh script for the installation of a couple of programs. Some ports need to be open for the programs to work, I find it really annoying to go to yast and type the ports manually every time. I've looked at /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 but can't seem to find anything, I also know that after the changes I will have to stop start the firewall by running:
I use libk8000 with Velleman K8000 IO-board. It works fine with a machine which have port integrated on the motherboard. But my new machine does not have LPT on the motherboard. Therefore I bought a PCI LPT-card which have two LPT ports.
It is a board from NetMos Technology. lspci -vvvv gives following. 05:02.0 Communication controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9815 Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 2P0S (2 port parallel adaptor) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 18 Region 0: I/O ports at e480 [size=8] Region 1: I/O ports at e400 [size=8] Region 2: I/O ports at e080 [size=8] Region 3: I/O ports at e000 [size=8] Region 4: I/O ports at dc00 [size=8] Region 5: I/O ports at d880 [size=16] Kernel driver in use: parport_pc Kernel modules: parport_pc
In the libk8000 the data, status and control ports are statically defined. Are the I/O addresses and IRQ-line dynamically defined each time computer is restarted. Might they change in each boot or only when hardware is changed? If so any links to code that dynamically acquires these values would be good. Kernel supports this card because I can connect printer to it and it works. Where in the parport-subsystem is the code which acquires the IO and IRQ?
If the IO and IRQ don't change in each boot then what might be the data, control and status ports for LPT1 and LPT2 on the above lspci-listing? I have tried several combinations without result. On the motherboard LPT the ports are in increasing order with 1 byte. On the lspci-listing above there are 8 byte regions with each IO-address. The last one have 16-byte area - why ?
I am unable to access a serial port as normal user in OS 11.2. The ownership for the port,/dev/ttyS0 belongs to root:dialout. Group dialout has RW permissions.So,I guess the user has to belong to 'dialout' group.Even after a user is included in dialout port,still the user is unable to access,"Permission is Denied".
Before OS 11.2,I used to make the users members of group "uucp" to get serial port access.I tried that also in OS 11.2,without luck.So,I have to be root to access it. This requirement itself seems to be one of the fossils of old time Linux where for normal usage of PC resources,one needed elevated privileges.I guess the trend now is to let the user do all PC work,but in a safe way.
I have a couple of openSUSE 11.2 machines and each is directly connected to the Internet (they are not behind a router, firewall, etc). I want them to be able to communicate without any firewall restrictions, but keep the firewall rules for all other IP addresses. Is this possible? the software package I'm trying to use randomly chooses a port to use in the range of 32768-61000 and I don't feel comfortable having a port range that wide open on both machines.
I have a Suse 10.3 router with 4 network cards. 1 is to connect to the big network and thereby also the internet, 2 are for 'client' subnets and I want to use the last one as a DMZ. In this DMZ will be a web server which has to be accessible from the other 2 subnets and from the big network. I could do it with a few simple clicks in Yast firewall, but I have some issues with this firewall and there for I want to use it as minimal as possible, using Iptables.
So now I'm struggling a bit with Iptables. Basicly what I'm looking for is how to block all ports but 80 in this last subnet with iptables.
I'd like to have a port open for some streaming radio stations. However, I don't know if they are UDP or TCP or what "direction" to have them set up (inbound or outbound). I also don't know if they should be set up for "host" or "dynamic". The stations I'm interested in are the 181.fm channels mostly (shoutcast stations). We have a Westell A90 type modem/router from Verizon.
After a fresh install of suse 11.4, Yast cannot configure my local printer (Epson Epl-5700) because there is no parallel port available. How can I make parallel ports work?
i am running openSUSE11.2 which is fully updated.only problem is that it wont play my audio throught the correct ports.it plays everything clear on the front ports but not the back ports.please inform me if there is a package or application that will help me fix this problem.
I'm using opensuse 11.3 32bit with LXDE. I have configured an apache tomcat server listening on port 8080. Yast was used to open udp 8080 and tcp 8080 in the firewall by manual entry under the advanced button of 'allowed services' menu.Another system was used to access the tomcat server via a firefox webbrowser. The attempt was unsuccessful. The url used was [URL]. firefox webbrowser keeps showing'connecting ...' until timeout. I'm assuming that inspite of the specified port openings in the firewall, it is somehow ignored. If I were to disable the firewall, then I can access the tomcat server with the firefox webbrowser.
I have a Opensuse 11.4 workstation that has two ethernet ports and I was wondering if there is the chance to use the other ethernet port as a switch to a Mac/PC?
I have troubels with internet, on different Linux x64 systems on my laptop(Lenovo ThinkPad sl510), but if I load WindowsPE all is OK ( what coud it be? where to search?There is an hardwere firewall/nat/gateway in my local network, it allows only connections to dst ports tcp 80 (http), udp 53 (dns) and no frags, no icmp, deny in and etc. But Windows Internet (the same Firefox) works fine , and under Linux sites doesn't loding full or "connetion timed out"...But if I have can start downloading any file it would be downloaded full (I have downloaded DVD iso of SuSe)Dns throu nslookup responce not evry time...Decreasing of MTU to 1372 didn't help (( Deactivating ip v6 also....What coud it be? What is different betwin Windows and Linux in DNS clients is any alternative dns client in SuSe? Is the trouble only in DNS?
I have a question about /etc/services file. If I open ports in firewall, do I need to alter /etc/services file in order for certain apps to work?
kpasswd 464/tcp # kpasswd kpasswd 464/udp # kpasswd # Theodore Ts'o <tytso&MIT.EDU> # 465 is illegal used by eMail Server smtps 465/tcp # eMail Server #urd 465/tcp # URL Rendesvous Directory for SSM igmpv3lite 465/udp # IGMP over UDP for SSM # Toerless Eckert <eckert&cisco.com> digital-vrc 466/tcp # digital-vrc digital-vrc 466/udp # digital-vrc
Above example shows if 465 tcp isn't altered, Postfix MTA fails to listen on 465 tcp port. What if there's a bigger span 3000:7000 TCP/UDP, is there a need to alter each line by hand?
i have two questions and thought that anyone here could have the answers.first things first,i want to make firewall accept a range of ports (say 8000:9000) because im using mpd process manager to make some parallel processing, does anyone know the command that satisfy this?
the second thing is, when i open a range of ports like that, it would put my system at risk if some bad guys somehow identifies this range, is there is anything that solves that matter(i.e. makes the firewall monitor the packet, if its an mpd accept if not drop)
I got a 450 GB hard drive from which fedora boots from.However when i look at grub,grub> geometry(hd0,0) and do the cylinder/head/sector math, it only comes to 4GB instead of 450gig. why it sees only 4G?
I have loaded Suse 10.3 on a system that has 4 Ethernet ports, all Intel chipsets. 2 ports have the 82571 chipset, 1 port has the 82573 chipset and the last one has the 82567. The 82567 chipset can use the e1000 driver and the 8257x chipsets require the e1000e driver. We are only actually using the 82571 ports.
When the system is booted, the 82567 seems to get bound to the e1000 driver and the 82573 gets bound to the e1000e driver. Doing an "lsmod" I see both drivers loaded. It appears the 82571 drivers are getting bound to the e1000 driver which is a major problem. They work for a while but eventually they lock up with enormous error counts according to "ifconfig". How I know the e1000 driver is bound to the 82571 ports is that when I remove it(modprobe -r e1000) and then try to use one of them, I get a "network unreachable". When e1000 is loaded these ports seem to work fine. I tried modding the file in /etc/sysconfig/hardware that corresponds to the PCI address of these ports(i.e., hwcfg-bus-pci-0000:08:00.0) to force the module to e1000e, but no luck there either.
my error when trying to run a VB (Virtualbox). Error as copied from error box. install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root. VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).
