OpenSUSE Hardware :: Avocent ESP 2 MI Serial To IP?
May 25, 2009
I recently got an Avocent ESP 2 MI serial to IP converter to read some info information out of my Solarpanel converters. When I try to build the linux driver on my HP DLl40, running OpenSuSE 11.0, from the source rpm espx-3.17-1.src.rpm the build process exits with an error.My google searches have come up empty, unfortunately.
The log file from the installation program follows below. I am unsure what I need to do next in order to get working driver.

I am trying to get two way serial communications going between a Windows XP system and a Linux system (RHEL 5).I have /sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS0
in /etc/inittab. I am using a generic USB to serial adaptor on Windows (Unitek) and a null modem cable. I have putty configured for 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit, no flow control.I get the login prompt from agetty in the putty window but input does not work; I see weird characters in the putty screen. I can echo output into the device from windows and see it, but
cat < /dev/ttyS0. just prints out weird characters from what I type.

On my CentOS 5.2 install I've installed a dual-port serial card based on the NetMOS 9835 chipset. I've followed the serial instructions, but everything they tell me to do is already done - see setserial outputs below. I've compared these values to the lspci output (below, NetMos card is at the bottom of the output) for the card and it appears right. Problem being, I can't use the serial ports. Oh and I did use search, and looked at every 9835-related article before posting this :)

I am hoping to be able to get an old serial-touchscreen to work with a usb/serial adapter. I had this touchscreen working some years ago on different hardware. I would like to hook it to the machine I am setting up as a multimedia host with mythtv among other things.
Following the instructions I left behind when I got this to work way back when does not work. See [URL] ....
This info is a work around to get the xserver to see the touchscreen. [URL] ....
I do know that the touchscreen works as I am able to get garbage on the screen as in the first part of my howto. But I have not had any success getting xorg to see it. I wish I had posted a copy of the xorg.conf at the time, but......
There is an issue with the current xserver in testing that I am hoping the next update (in unstable) will fix when it gets pushed to testing. That is that Code: Select all# X -configure fails with a segfault. So I am not able to generate the xorg.conf needed to get it to work. I was going to post a bugreport, that is when I found out there is an update in unstable, so I am waiting for it to get pushed at the moment.
Anyway I am hoping that I can link /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/tty0 and get it to work. I would like some kind of guess as to my chances of success before I go to all the work of getting the monitor hooked to the host.

I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm attempting to use a microcontroller to send MIDI messages over a virtual serial port. I want to (eventually) read them with Mixxx. I'm using an FTDI chip, so I get a /dev/ttyUSB0. I've tried spikenzielabs' Serial-Midi program, but it doesn't see any serial ports. NOTEMIDI looks really old and won't compile on my 10.04 LTS machine.

We have a new machine with RedHat enterprise 5 on it. I need to connect a serial cable to the serial port and talk to another system (old alpha system) instead of using a VT connected to the alpha.Does RedHat come with anything like Keaterm/hyperterm/etc etc?

I discovered that I can activate my Kensington trackball by typing in a terminal:
sudo inputattach --microsoft /dev/ttyS0 After that I tried to automate that using Yast to place in /etc/sysconfig/inputattach: INPUTATTACH_DRIVERS="/dev/ttyS0:microsoft" It did not work. What am I doing wrong?

I have openSuse 11.1 and have just added a new serial port card. Do I need to do something to get the card going? My application doesn't seem to be getting data from the serial card. How would I test status. Do I use setserial .

I have a usb serial adapter and was happily using minicom with it under openSUSE 11.2. I've upgraded to openSUSE 11.3 and I can only use minicom with this serial adapter as root. I had previously had problems writing to /var/lock under openSUSE 11.2 which I worked around by changing the minicom config to use /tmp as its lock file location.
Unfortunately my laptop doesn't have a built in serial port so I can't tell if its a general problem or something specific to the /dev/ttyUSB0 device. This is the output I get when I run minicom with my regular user account. I get the same output whether the lock file location is set to /tmp or /var/lock
Code:minicom usb0 Device /dev/ttyUSB0 lock failed: Permission denied. Before I started tinkering my user belonged to the following groups groups=16(dialout),33(video),100(users) I've since added 5(tty),14(uucp),21(console) but still no joy.

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 am looking for a solution to administer my remote server running SUSE LINUX 10.1 (X86-64) - Kernel 2.6.16.13-4-smp. I have made changes to server and is able to see the boot process and also able to login to system through serial console.
My question, will I be able to administer the server through serial console incase if my root partition is corrupted and system has gone to maintenance shell(or root shell).
Also is there way to go directly to maintenance shell from grub(not talking about single user mode). I want to go maintenance shell where / partition is not mounted.

I'm installing OpenSuse 11.2 on some systems. Unfortunately the only mouse available is a serial mouse. Hence the installer doesn't recognize the mouse.And it is somewhat cumbersome using the TAB and ARROW keys to navigate the graphical installation.Does anyone know of a boot option I could use to get OpenSuse's installer to recognize a serial mouse ?

I am trying to test GAINSCHA receipt printers on opensuse 11.4They have supplied drivers and filter. I have added filter to /usr/lib/cups/filter and drivers(ppd files) to /usr/share/cups/model/gainscha/. I can add the printer model and driver from Yast.The printer is a serial printer and I connect to it using 'usb-to-serial' converter. I can raw-print direct to printer by, ' echo hello > /dev/ttyUSB0 '. It works.Serial port parameters used while setting up Cups queue are correct. ( Tested via cutecom, opening port with the same parameters and writing to the port. It is also printing).Now when I print from any application, the job is held up in Cups queue for reasons, ' no permissions to port'. I tried becoming root and printing from kwrite.

I would like to get my Huawei E169 (aka. Vodafone Mobile Connect K3520, E620 etc.) USB UMTS/3G modem running with my openSUSE 11.1 x86 installation on my MSI Wind U100. The GPRS/UMTS connection works perfectly fine with the stand-alone application Vodafone Mobile Connect for Linux. However, there's the drawback that this app overwrites /etc/resolv.conf (leads to DNS issues if I would like to connect via NetworkManager again) and doesn't disable the off-line mode for Firefox automatically. Consequently, I would like to use NetworkManager for the GPRS/UMTS connection, too.
The NetworkManager configuration dialogue (I'm using the GNOME applet) seems to recognize the plugged USB stick without any issues (I get a radio button for "Huawei E620 USB Modem" in the respective add connection wizard). So I've created the configuration for my provider and saved it. After that I've tried to connect via the applet. However, approx. 2 seconds after I selected the connection, the applet says "Network disconnected" (German: Netzwerkverbindung getrennt) and the stick also obviously doesn't get connected (visible via LED). I created several new connections with different names, replugged the stick, rebooted with and without the stick plugged, but without any success. I also installed the special RPM package which is recommended in Huawei UMTS USB Stick - openSUSE, but - of course - the corresponding 11.1 package. I also used the application manually and got the following result: Looking up for HUAWEI modem and switching modem to BBO 06
[Code]....
Can this time out of the serial command be the reason for the unsuccessful connection? And if yes, how can I force the system to wait longer here? Moreover, I'm wondering, that the GNOME NetworkManager applet doesn't allow me to enter the DNS entries for my GPRS/UMTS connection. Where can I add these entries manually or is that not needed?

On a small network i have 3 WinXP computers and i've just installed a two new ones with Win7 pre-installed. As server i'm running OpenSuSE 10.3 and Samba with only one share. As i mount it to WinXP computers all get same volume serial number:
Code:
V:>dir
Volume in drive V is AppDrive
Volume Serial Number is 8CD5-975C
...and all Win7 computers get a diffrent one:
Code:
V:>dir
Volume in drive V is AppDrive
Volume Serial Number is A0D3-975C
We use application witch somehow only works when one/same volume serial number on a mounted drive is used.

I have cloned an embedded system that runs Opensuse 11 x86 using dd. The embedded system uses a simple serial device, by writing to the relevant device file (/dev/ttyS2, usually). Curiously, when I write to the same serial device on the newly cloned system (which, incidentally, has almost identical hardware), thusly:
echo hello > /dev/ttyS2 the command blocks for up to a minute, before finally returning without making the hardware do anything. I can boot into Opensuse's rescue system on the clone and successfully do exactly the same thing, as I can when I boot the original's "identical" operating system. Why might this problem occur? What can I do about it?

I am using a Prolific pl2303 USB<=>Serial adapter. dmesg reports everything seems ok when I plug it in (see below) but when I open the ttyUSB0 port in minicom, it is always offline and nothing works. Also, minicom reports:

If I plug the adapter into a different machine (Windows) everything works fine. The serial port is setup correctly (9600-8-N-1) What can I do to get this working?

usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
pl2303 5-2:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
usb 5-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

I'm trying to set rxtxSerial to work so a Java app has access to a serial port (via SiLabs CP210x driver, port /dev/ttyUSB0). When I use update-alternatives --config java, there are 3 alternatives which provide `java'. I have tried openJDK and Sun. Both fail but with completely different messages.

I need to talk to several serial ports. I was thinking of having a bunch of USB to serial cables and then plugging all of them into a USB hub, which goes to the computer. What I want to know is, will I see each serial port as a separate thing? With 1 USB to serial cable and no hub, I see /dev/ttyUSB0. With this hub, will I see /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, etc?

I have cloned my linux OS onto a new hdd. Now even tho the system will boot, it directs me to the login screen and asks me to fix the location of the root dir because it is looking for /dev/disk/by-id with a very long serial #. I presume this is the old hdd serial #. How can I determine the serial # of the new hdd and change it in fstab? Is this the correct idea? Is it just......ls /dev/disk/by-id???

I am in verse to understand the serial communication between guest and host.I have just added a serial port through VI Client selecting "Use serial port on host"(host being ESX host).If I am on VM and run :
ll > /dev/ttyS0
I understand that it should get displayed through ESX Host. So On ESX Host, I typed:
cat /dev/ttyS0
But nothing worked !
