Server :: Minicom And Cu Not Talking To Sunfire V210/V240
Aug 27, 2010
I picked up two free Sunfires a couple of days ago (Sunfire V210 and Sunfire V240). Obviously, these are RISC machines, so no video, mouse, or keyboard ports. The only way of connecting to them that I know of is through the ALOM interface. I was hoping to use the minicom program that's on my Linux (Slackware 13.1) box to do this. I connected an RJ-45 straight through cable to the serial management port on the Sunfire V240, connected the other end to a Sun 530-3100-01 RJ45 to DB9 adapter, and then plugged the female end of the adapter into the serial port on the Linux box. I set the minicom port settings to the following:
A - Serial Device: /dev/ttyS0
B - Lockfile Location: /var/lock
C - Callin Program:
D - Callout Program:
E - Bps/Par/Bits: 9600 8N1
F - Hardware Flow Control: Yes
G - Software Flow Control: No
...and relaunched minicom hoping that it would connect. It does not. It just sits there with a blinking cursor and an "Offline" status.I also attempted to use cu to connect to the Sunfire using the following:# cu -l /dev/ttyS0 -s 9600.I just get the "Connected" message. No prompt, no anything. It just sits there. Same situation on the Sunfire V210.
Mm sorry for the silly questions but I dont seem to be able to get my server to listen to my router or the other way around. when i httpd i get the error (99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock: could not bind to address 192.168.1.1:8080I am using a Billion 5200G router I have also been trying all night with my BELKIN router but no success.
1) I have a nameserver I set up at Enom days ago the site has been registered for about 9 months now ns1.startwebhostingnow.com
2) When I try to access ns1.startwebhostingnow.com I get through to my routers administartion area so the nameserver seems to direct to the right place.
3) I have a PPoE LLC connection from my ISP with one static IP but like i said the nameserver seems to direct to my router but no further.
4) I have set up the server in the System/Administration/server settings/http area servername ns1.startweb hostingnow.com with an ip of 192.168.1.1 on port 8080
5) In the NAT router area I have DMZ set as 192.168.1.53 which should be my servers ip address
6) In the NAT Virtual Server I have: RuleApplicationProtocolStart PortEnd Port Local IP Address1 HTTP_Server TCP 8080 8080 192.168.1.53
I have a Sun V120 server, and I connected to it via minicom from a linux machine. The problem is that when I connect, immeadiatly starts to receive the letter m as a command and it returns "Unrecognized command", so it is impossible to configure anything ot to give any command whatsoever. Also, sometimes receives all kind of letters, dots and characters, resulting the same and blocking my keyboard. When I connect from a Windows machine via HyperTerminal all is fine.
Here's the setup: One x86 server (Red Hat 4) with two serial connections to an embedded linux device. One serial connection is to a power control so the device can the restarted, and the other is used for a console to this device. Both serial connections use minicom. People on my team VNC to the x86 server, where they find the two minicom sessions waiting for them as they are left open. I would like to automate connecting to the server and communicating over the serial lines.
Supposing I use ssh to the x86 server, could minicom be used over the serial lines without terminating the minicom processes seen through VNC? If not, is there a way to re-open those windows from within the ssh session, so a user who VNCs to the server won't have to reopen them? Could a single ssh connection control two minicom terminals simultaneously, or would there need to be two ssh connections? It is assumed a user and the automated process will *not* try to access the device at the same time; the automation would trigger during off hours.
I am writing an expect script that will automate flashing an embedded device through minicom using a serial connection and am running into problems sending backspaces.The script catches the configuration prompt on startup and can flash the device, but setting the MAC addresses in the fconfig are being problematic.For example, when I run the script, I can set the variables that are defaults by just pressing enter or enter new directives when prompted.. the problem arrises when I need to enter a new MAC address and there is already one set - I need to overwrite it somehow.
If I manually go through fconfig using minicom (minicom version 2.3 (compiled Dec 3 2008)), I can use backspace on my keyboard to remove the old MAC address and enter a new one - no problem.. but with expect.. I am having issues.I tried sending , ^H,10 177. These do not work. Minicom has BS set for the backspace key though.I tried setting it to DEL - no luck.On the other hand, I can send control-C with send "send 03".
I'm trying to install OpenSUSE 11.2 on a SunFire X4140 without success. It has 2 x 146GB SAS disks.The installation seems to go just fine until it comes to booting from local disk, where I get:"Boot failed : press a key to retry"I've tried installing with the GRUB and LILO boot loaders, and in different locations - on disk, in the MBR etc. I also tried SLES10 + SLES11 which gives me similar errors.
I'm not sure if it is significant, but in the YaST Installation Settings I see:"it was not possible to determine the exact order of disks for device map. The order of disks can be changed in 'Boot Loader Installation Details' "I did change the order of the disks but that had no effect. I don't see the error in SLES10.
I'm using Ubuntu Hardy x64 and when pressing "Play" in TORK, I get the following Message:
*TOR Stopped Talking To Us!!*Message: Did Something Happen To Me?
*This Means: Try Starting TORK Again. TOR Starts up in the background. and I have also tried killing TOR and then restarting it with Vidalia and verifying that TOR is running. I've also tried using the Wizard to configure TORK to no avail. It also does'nt seem to be able to write to the "torrc" file. Also, when I select Tools>Browse TOR Network Status, I get the following message:
*Could not launch the browser:*Could not find service "kfmclient." I suppose this could mean that I need to install some elements of KDE, but I have several KDE applications running on my installation, such as Amarok, with no complications.
i have slackware 12.2 on a toshiba laptop and i cannot play flash movies on videos and similar stuff.
it also complains sometimes that i do not have java. but i do have java on my system. i think slackware comes with java included afaik. is there some sort of process or a tutorial i must read to get these things all set up? also, do i still have to install some kind of flash application?
I am one of the many people who are having many problems getting the Canon ip1700 pixma printer to work with Linux. I think that it can be done. I've followed every step that I could on this page: [URL] Everything goes fine until I enter the username and password on CUPS, using my "root" and my root password. I get this annoying google chrome thing, "aw, snap, this page can't load..." I really need to use my printer.
I have installed MM 10.10 on a desktop (also running XP home) and a laptop (vista home prem). Both have good access wirelessly to www using an orange livebox, via linux and windows. But I can't get them to talk to each other for file sharing etc. I'm pretty sure there's a simple solution but, as a novice to linux, it's beyond me at the moment.
I suspect this is a Gnome 3 problem and not a Fedora problem, but I have no way to separate the two here. I cannot upload an image from my computer to Weebly or to Google Plus, but strangely enough, I can upload one to Picasa. The sequence of actions goes something like this:
1. Open Weebly editing interface, add a picture element, click on the element to edit/add a picture. It then gives you a choice: from your local computer, from the web, etc.
2. Click on 'from local computer' and my computer opens the Open File Dialog Window.I am guessing that is its name, it is the same window you get when opening a file in any other application, like Gedit or LibreOffice.
3. Navigate to the image I want to upload and double click on it or select 'Open'.
4. Nothing happens.
I am able to upload images from my laptop, running Linux Mint 11 with Gnome 2.
It sounds to me like the Open File Window is not passing on the necessary information to the browser. I have no idea why it works in Picasa and not in Google+ or Weebly.
I don't really expect anyone to have a solution just yet, but I wanted to mention it somewhere, and I didn't see any Gnome.org forums. On the other hand, if someone does have a solution, great.
This is by no means a knock on Gnome 3, it is fine with me and I Iike it a lot more than I thought I would.
I want to start recording when someone starts talking, and stop recording when it becomes silent. I guess if there is stream audio processing tool like ImageMagick, so I can strip away blank sections like this:
I have laptops with intel 4965/AGN wireless hardware and ubuntu jaunty. My wireless access point, router, gateway is a D-Link DIR-655. The D-Link is directly connected to my cable modem. The connection does not drop, but They suddenly quit talking with each other. After a brief time lapse, they start talking again without intervention on my part. When I say "stop talking" this is behavior where a browser will return "page or server not found" errors or "DNS timeout". Has anyone seen this sort of network behavior and have some idea about corrective actions?
My attempts to get some help from D-Link have not been successful. Since there are not hundreds of folks reporting troubles, they don't [want to?] understand one poor souls problems.I've tried to ask about this several times and several places.
Well, upto now i have been using minicom on linux platform.Can any one tell me whether minicom is meant only for linux or is it platform independent?Actually i'm connecting 2 PC's using RS-232 and then passing and viewing the messages using minicom. Both the PC's use Fedora11. Now suppose i want to do the same thing between 2 pc's where one uses linux and other uses windows. So, if minicom is meant only for linux then how to do this?Can some one also suggest some useful links or tutorials regarding this serial communication between to different OS?
Does anyone notice a degradation in sound quality with skype and pulseaudio? It seems that when I use pulseaudio there are bugs in the sound quality in skype. I also notice a lag when talking to someone with the VoIP feature.
I have a netbook which has no serial port. However I use my netbook to connect to Cisco network devices via serial to USB converter. I installed Minicom on my netbook and I don't know how I can tell Minicom to use my USB port rather than default to /dev/ttyS0.
Can anyone tell me how I can change or point Minicom to use my USB port so my serial to USB will work?
i am using eUploader in windows and there is a auto test facility where we can run scripts .Is there a auto test facility in minicom,where after establishing the connection i can run a script?
I just fully installed slack 13.37 on my laptop. I was trying to use minicom. But after I typed the command line 'minicom -s' or 'minicom', I did not get the minicom window, the curson stop at the console and never return back until I kill the minicom process.
Initially i wrongly entered the serial port device as ttys0 and save it. It wont reply due to wrong device selection. Actual device is ttyS0 and i select this and try to save it as dfl,but an message appear as 'cannot write to /etc/minicom/minirc.dfl'
So i have to configure each and every time i open the minicom. how to configure this correctly?
I have setup CentOS as server and Fedora as Client.Now I want to transfer file from server to client through minicom.How to do that?I tried sending file from CentOs and it does have a ASCII format file transfer option while on the other OS only few like xmodem , ymodem and zmodem type of file transfer was present.
is there a way to move the cursor upward in Minicom when connected to another machine ?
I have an embedded system connected to the PC via null-modem. The embedded machine is to "redraw" the screen on the PC every second. Right now it sends the Form Feed command (0Ch) and sends the screen data down to the end of the page. The flow in detail as seen from the embedded sytem:
1) send FF (0Ch) 2) send text "blah blah one two and so on .." 3) goto step 1
This approach works but the minicom screen on the PC flickers due to the Form Feed command. So I need to find a way to move the cursor up (like a reverse vertical tabulation) to the upper left corner of the screen without using the Form Feed command. In a HOWTO I found something like "vertical coupling" that may be used for such cases, but no more hints than that.
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 installed Fedora 12 in my PC and after that when I tried to use minicom it was not installed. I tried copying the executable of minicom in /usr/bin from another PC and tried using it. But, I was not able to enter any commands in minicom..
I am trying to access an OpenBSD system that I have just installed via my PcBSD system by the use of a serial cable. I have been trying both minicom and cu but I am obviously doing something wrong... cu -l /dev/cuad0 returns /var/spool/lock/LCK...cuad0 Permission Denied. Can't Open lock file. all ports busy. And when I try to connect through minicom I either get a similar lock error, or minicom will sit at the connection screen with (offline status). I feel like the answer to my problems is a rather simple one, but I do not know where else to look for information.
I am working on a embedded target board which runs on linux. The target board is connected to a linux machine through serial port. To bootup the target board, I run the minicom in the linux machine, boot the kernal of the target board through giving the boot command through the serial console (minicom). Now the question is when the target board boots up, it doesn't starts a shell. The rc scripts are getting executed. There are target specific applications getting started from the rc scripts. I appended & to the last launched application. Still I don't get shell prompt.
I'm new to fedora and also new to Linux too. I'm using lenovo SL410 which is not provisioned for serial port. Now I want to configure cisco router via serial-usb (Z-TEK) converter, for that I have installed minicom and still I'm not able to connect to router. Do I need to install driver for converter that I'm using?
I have a router with linux firmware and attached to it a USB modem with which I can do both data and voice.Any other command send through echo method works ok. I was able to send SMS, edit phonebook and many many other stuff, but not make a call.So what is different from sending the call command within Minicom 2.5 and echo it?
