View 4 Replies View Relatedi studied the program chardev.c from 'The kernel module programming guide'. The text tells me that by doing a :
1. 'cat' the character device is opened.
2. hi > /dev/hello the character device is written into.
now i wanted to know how to 'read' from the character device !
I'm reading linux device drivers,
and I'm creating a scull-like driver.
I alloc a chrdev region
with
alloc_chrdev_region(&dev,minor_number,number_of_devs);
how can i deallocate it ? I tried with
unregister_chrdev_region but it does work only for
statically allocated devices.
i want to deallocate it so that only a single major number is assigned to my driver and
cat /dev/devices | grep $dev_name
returns no more than 1 line.
In Ubuntu 9.10, I was successfully able to use my Pinnacle Dazzle DVC 100 (a cheap USB analog video capture device). I use it for backing up old video that is stored on tapes, and it isn't working with my current install of Ubuntu 10.04. When I plug the device in, it should be detected and the em28xx module should be loaded. This fails and /var/log/messages has the following:
Code:

View 5 Replies View RelatedHow do you find out which driver is being used for a certain device. Say that I run lsusb and I find "Bus 007 Device 002: ID 046d:c043 Logitech, Inc. MX320/MX400 Laser Mouse", how can I find out what the active driver for the device is?Also, is there some way to list all available drivers for a device? Is there a way to change the driver at runtime?

Recently, I created a device sc0 through device mapper. The divice could be found in /dev/mapper/sc0. My problem is that the device doesn't exist in /dev/partitions which will block my following test.BTW, I found dm-0 in /dev/partitions. Is it the same as /dev/mapper/sc0? But the device /dev/dm-0 doesn't exist!

This is the information lsusb gives:

But this tells me nothing about where the device file is! How can I find that, or create one myself?
A client has sent me a docx. Actually it's not the first he's sent and it always causes me some kind of problems. When I open the document (a normal boring 3 page text document) with Open Office some of the characters are replaced with little empty boxes. From context I suspect they are things like slashes and commas - but I don't know for sure.
I copy and pasted some into gedit and there they appeared as boxes with letters and numbers inside like FF04. Is there some way to find out what these symbols are? I don't need to see them or print them, I just need to know if it is a plus sign, back slash, u with umlauts, or whatever.
I have a Razer headset plugged in. Everytime I restart the computer I have to unplug/plug the headset to make it work. It even shows up the system:

It does not show up as a valid sound device in system -> preferences -> sound.how I can make the headset "active" without replugging it to the computer?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded both versions of Fedora 11 (Gnome and KDE) to iso files on my hard disk - in Windows XP. I then tried the verification procedure advised in [URL]... section 3.1. I have successfully installed and run hashcalc, with the SHA1 option, and got the following results:
- for the Gnome version : 795b52b3c7b16eba6f2cae055ec894d8648d8095
- for the KDE version : 38ef6c97e29803add28d40add05aa025b6f4c92b.
But I can't find any SHA1SUM files to give me the correct character sequences against which to compare the said results.
I just compiled my first own kernel (I'm using Arch Linux), following the tutorial on the german site. Now I tried to boot it, I ended up failing with this message: Code: Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda1 ... Root device '/dev/sda1' doesn't exist, Attempting to create it. ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/sda1' Here is the important part of my menu.lst:

I simply copy&pasted the Arch-entry, i.e. I also had the disk by uuid there. The failure message was the same, just the root device name was the different name Also, at first I did not have the initrd line in my menu.lst (as written in my tutorial that I may not need it). In this case I had this error message:

I would like to know what shell command I could use for finding a phrase (which is a URL) in many files, with a different phrase. I have tried the "sed" command, but it does not like the forward slash.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis sounds strange, but my laptop (running 11.2) won't boot correctly unless my external HDD (ext3) is on and plugged in. If I don't turn it on, it hangs at the start of udev. If I press ctrl+c, the system continues to boot, but the keyboard and mouse don't activate... don't function, etc. But I can press my power button and it does shut down. Going through dmesg (during a successful boot with the external HDD on), I saw this (not sure if it is relevant):
Code:
[2.201029] scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access Ext Hard Disk PQ: 0 ANSI: 4
[2.201450] usb-storage: device scan complete

[6.062434] udev: starting version 146
[6.225262] .
The device sdb1 is the HDD.
Now, I don't know much about udev. I can tell you that I have no sdb1 lines in /etc/fstab, and I have no autofs references to it.
I was building LFS on a pendrive this morning when it crashed in the middle of making gcc. I rebooted without my pendrive and I never got into the desktop. Instead, I get a visually pleasing terminal telling me that it couldn't find and that the only way to reboot would be to press CTRL+D. I'm then given a command line and that's that.
Rebooting with the key inside works perfectly.
I reformatted my key and now there's nothing on it. I feel like somewhere somehow I added an entry to the boot process of my system and now I have to remove it. Never dealt with something like this before
Fstab:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500AAJS-60Z0A0_WD-WCAV2M336077-part1 swap swap defaults 0 0

I've got a strange issue. I used without problem my Olmypus camera with oS 11.2 and older but sinds 11.3 and the new KDE, nothing happens anymore when I plug my camera: nothing appears in the device notifier, nor in Dolphin. It did in the past, with oS 11.2 and KDE 4.3.x. But, in IceWM, with Dolphin and Digikam it does work (it appears like a USB stick). Not in KDE with the same applications.What I wrote in the bug report:
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Plug your digital photo camera in a USB port
2.Optional: open Dolphin
Actual Results:
Nothing happens

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was messing around with the alternate character panel app and made a custom character set. I then wanted to put it on a new panel and created a new panel. I moved the character set to that panel, and then started to mess around with the panel settings (auto hide, show hide buttons, and expand, to be specific.) So far so good, until I moved the panel from the right side of the screen to the top. I already had a panel here, and it seemed not to like hiding a panel when there was already one on the top.
When the new panel hid itself, all my panels stopped responding (any clicks on them did nothing) and my processor started going at 100%. I tried a reboot and the only thing that changed is that now I can't even see my panels. I'm guessing I need to change the settings back manually through the prompt, but I don't know how to do that. I am using 10.04 and have not upgraded gnome since upgrading to 10.04.
In my terminal , there's always a tab-like(a long space) between the "pswz-zhangy@linux-buym:~>" and the cursor, how can i get rid of if?
