Ubuntu Installation :: How To Test That Infrared Device Detected
Apr 4, 2010
I am new to linux having just abandoned Windows due to stability issues. I have a Hauppage remote with a usb ir receiver. This worked fine under windows using the drivers for the windows media center remote. I can't however get this to work under Linux. What I am really looking for is a method, perhaps using a command line in the terminal window to be able to test and see if the OS has actually detected the device. I have tried irw, but there is no response. If I know that the device is connected, then I can start looking at issues of identifying the correct drivers for the device.
I'm trying to install 11.04 onto a custom build pc.I have burned an install CD of the desktop edition and have inserted it into the drive, started up, and tried to run the live version. IT pops up, everything works, Hooray! I go to install it to disk and I follow all the prompts and it needs me to reboot to start. YAY! I click to reboot, remove the CD as requested, and then I get the "No Boot Device Detected!" error message.
I then tried installing straight from the CD and not booting into the live version. I follow all the steps and get a congratulations on installing it and all I need to do it reboot. I remove the CD, reboot, and BANG! the same message. I'm not sure what's up or even where I can get information from because there is no BIOS splash screen or anything to naviagate through.
System Specs: Intel Atom Mobo/Proc (1.66Hz) 8GB Corsair RAM 1 slim optical drive (SATA) 1 2TB Seagate HD (SATA) 1 Case/PSU combination
EDIT1: Currently I am checking the live CD for defects (though it has an internet connection so I'm unsure whether the CD matters).
I have a Epson Stylus SX115 All In One Printer which i connected to ubuntu 9.10 the other day. Upon installation the drivers for the stylus SX 115 were not available, but there were drivers for the stylus SX110 which i then installed. Printing is fine although for some reason even though i connect via usb cable the printer is not detected as a external device. I have to pull out the usb cable without unmounting-what should i do?
Recently xsane has stopped detecting my MFP (HP Deskjet F2280). My setup has not had any hardware changes and the only software changes in that time have been the periodic Synaptic updates. Before this hiccup all had been well for over a year. If I run xsane it thinks a while (10 sec?) and tells me in a little panel no devices were detected. If I run lsusb, it finds the device, but after all it is a printer/scanner and the printing function continues to be OK so this is not a surprise.
I do not know enough to understand all the lsusb output to know if anything is amiss in the detail. What is it that xsane needs so that it detects the device as a scanner? Is there a file or specific stuff in a file which I could get from an old backup or edit (carefully!) by hand? I don't need the scanning function often enough to pin down what might have done the mischief.
I am working on an embedded system, which is an USB MSC device that supports some vendor specific scsi commands. I am using FC10 laptop as USB host for testing, and it runs some small apps based on sg3. All has been well for ~ a week. The FC10 laptop is able to communicate with the device and retrieve data. Suddenly, starting from today, the laptop is not able to properly detect the device. When plugged-in, the MSC device is detected as input device (I thought). This is observed from "dmesg" output and changes in "/dev/input/".The device under development is running at full speed. When I connect to winXP, no problem. A windows file explorer pops up, showing the content of the drive.Also, the FC10 has no problem with other USB flash drive (high speed).
I am trying to install mysql 5.1.44..so i downloaded the binary package, i extracted it and then followed the instructions that were in the manual but i keep getting this error when running this command

I would like to know as you see in windows, when you plug in a device it tells you some thing whether it is 2.0 or not. Is there a way to tell if the usb extension cable is 2.0 compatible? How about the usb device itself?
I've been looking for a good data integrity test tool for linux, but I'm having trouble finding one. Basically I'm looking for an application that will generate a heavy I/O load to a raw device and then perform some kind of data verification on the device. I my case the raw device will be md raid5 array.
I have freshly installed ubuntu 9.10 and moreover i am completely a newbie to Linux. The problem now i am facing is, i am not able to configure my wireless router. I tried finding drivers for it in System->administration->hardware drivers. But it showed me none. Then i checked out one of the threads in this forum and came across the 'lspci -nn' cmd. This gave me the info abt my wireless network controller and it was : 'Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01)'.
some days ago I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 and now I have a problem with my webcam. I like to use chatroulette and mebeam, therefore I have to use programs like webcamstudio/flashcam... (Flash does not accept the normal cam device v4l2 and webcamstudio puts it to v4l loopback). The problem is that Ubuntu is detecting only v4l2 and not v4l, so that I don't have an output device in webcamstudio.
When I type: ls -l /dev/video* the answer is only: crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 2010-05-08 17:59 /dev/video0 and nothing more
I have tried connecting an LG GD330 mobile in both "Mass Storage" & "Data Service" but in either cases it does not appear in bansheee nor even in rhythmbox.
I've got an HP Pavillion dv9000 laptop, the type that come with an HDMI port and a built in Windows media center remote.
How do I make it work with VLC? I've done a little research, and I've installed lirc. It now sorta works with Totem, but not at all with VLC. What am I doing wrong?
I'm using ubuntu 10.04 enterprise cloud server for my project. I use USB NIC to interface with other 2 servers. but the system doesnot detect USB NIC. detect & configure USB NIC in the network.
After plugging in my mp3 player to usb it isn't detected, even though it powers up and charges. I do an fdisk -l and nothing. My lspci shows the controller and my mouse is detected. lsusb shows the Phillips gogear as the device and it is device 2. I did dmesg and at the end it showed
scsi 6:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery
I don't know if this is the issue or not but it's the only error I get, so I assume it's the problem.
I have purchase one Lenovo L420. It has Windows 7 installed. I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 also (dual boot). The wireless is not working in Ubuntu but working in Windows 7. I think that the wireless device is not detected in Ubuntu.
I have an interesting issue. I have a computer running Ubuntu 10.10. I have a wireless USB Microsoft keyboard attached to this, and I have a cheap USB infrared remote also attached to it.The wireless USB Microsoft keyboard can wake up the system from suspend. The USB infrared remote cannot.To start off, I made sure my /proc/acpi/wakeup had wakeup enabled for all usb devices.
Code: xbmc:~$ cat /proc/acpi/wakeup Device S-state Status Sysfs node
i am yashwant kumar using fedora 11 in my IBM R52 hardware. my system supports infrared but i dont know how to enable it. i tried but didnt sucessed. how to enable infrared over here.
I have an nc8000 that gives a "104 unsupported wireless network device detected" error when I plug in my Intel wifi card that I acquired recently. Based on reading, this is a common HP problem due to non-native HP hardware. If I insert the Intel Pro card after the HP boot screen, 10.04 loads just fine and Ubuntu detects the card.

I have just installed the last FC distro, and everything works good, except the wireless network.I have a Linksys N-Ultra WirelessN USB wifi card, model WUSB600N.It uses the rt2x00 driver, concretely the rt2870 driver (at least, thats the driver included in the original device drivers CD).Right now, the problem is that i don't know how to make my Fedora 12 to enable and/or connect to internet.

My onboard bluetooth is not being detected by SUSE 11.4. Fedora 14 has no problem detecting the hardware, but it just doesn't show up in SUSE 11.4. I have included a few outputs:
lsusb:
Code: Bus 008 Device 002: ID 045e:0745 Microsoft Corp. Nano Transceiver v1.0 for Bluetooth rfkill list
[Code]....
If I plug in a dongle, the Bluetooth icon shows up in the notification bar, and I'm able to add and remove devices normally. Is there support for my onboard bluetooth device?
I installed 11.1 when it first came out. The PC I used gave up the ghost and I bought a refurbie, HP xw4100 and installed the 11.1 drive in it. All works except Internet connection. I am befuddled, bemused, confused and at a complete loss! The router on USB is not detected.

I have a problem here where sane no longer detects my scanner.
Code: lsusb reports Bus 007 Device 002: ID 03f0:5b17 Hewlett-Packard
Code: sane-find-scanner reports: found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x5b17 [HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi MFP]) at libusb:007:002
Code: scanimage -L reports
No scanners were identified. xsane reports no devices detected (I have it in French, "Aucun p'rif'rique disponible"). I get the same when I launch xsane as root, so I doubt it is a usb-rules issue. It used to work; I checked /proc/bus/usb, but that is empty.
When I run the audio configuration I get: The following audio device was detected: Vendor: nVidia Model Coporation GF100 High Definition Audio Controller Module snd-hda-intel but I do not hear sound.
The ALSA driver version is 1.0.14rc3 Lib package is: 1.0.17.-1.e15 Utils package is: 1.0.17-1.e15
The audio configuration sound test and the answer to the question No returns a message that says: automatic detection of sound card did not work. I am not sure what else is needed to diagnose the problem.
I am new to Linux and after a lot of research I settled on CentOS to be my OS for Linux. But I am having trouble with sound right now as I can not play audio. The command system-config-soundcard opened a gui for audio configuration saying following device is detected - Intel Corp. 82801(ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller.
Ouput for some commands are given below:: [root@localhost ~]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Controller Hub (rev 07) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) .....
Clicking on the volume icon gives me message that either Gstreamer plugins are not installed or sound card is not configured.
While Trying to install gstreamer using YUM, I got following message: [root@localhost ~]# yum install gstreamer Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile ..... Setting up Install Process Package gstreamer-0.10.20-3.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package gstreamer-0.10.20-3.el5.i386 already installed and latest version Nothing to do [root@localhost ~]#
So I guess gstreamer are installed but how to configure the sound card or is there any other problem.
I'm trying to get mythtv running on a macbook (2nd gen) and have got to the point where most things are working. But I am struggling with the IR Receiver and a non-apple remote control. I have lirc installed and the IR device is detected as an inbuilt HID usb device and the device file /usr/usb/hiddev0 works as the lirc device for the apple remote.
Trouble is the apple remote with its 6 buttons is not very useful in mythtv. I have a leadtek DTV tuner and it came with a remote that has lots of buttons so I would like to use that. Unfortunately, even getting the raw data from the remote doesn't seem to return valid data for that or any other remote I have apart from the apple remote.
I'm running
To see the raw data from the remote. For the apple remote I usually get 32 bytes/button push and bytes 20 and 28 change for each button. All the other remotes return the same 32 bytes regardless of the button pushed.
These are:
For the apple remote I get:
Where xx is different for each button. The values for the codes in the lircd.conf for each button are 32 bit quantities made up of the 5th, 13th, 21st and 29th bytes (ie: for the six apple remote button codes you have 0x87EEF0xx where xx is 0B, 0D, 08, 07, 04 or 02)
Has anyone got this working for a macbook with non-apple remote? Any other pointers on what I could look at next?
On another note, the manufacturer (ASUS) actually provides Linux audio drivers for my motherboard (model: P4S533). I attempted to install them, but the configuration process involves using make menuconfig, make xconfig, or make config to add the drivers to the kernel (I think) and I'm still a relatively new Linux user and had no clue what I was doing.
I have a new Dell Studio XPS laptop (I have used dell laptops for many many years running Fedora linux). And for the first time I want to setup the Infrared remote control in the laptop.
That is I like to set up a remote to start and stop movies and sound playback.
I installed LIRC and after reboot I see devices such as /dev/ircomm0 to /dev/ircom31 as well as /dev/irnet
So what next?
The LIRC website just goes on about using serial dongles, but nothing on setting up a laptop with a built-in IR sensor. It also talks about using irrecord, but that program complains about no /dev/lirc0 device.
I tried installing a "gnome-lirc-properties" (whcih also installed "lirc-remotes" package), but it fails with a verbose 'python traceback' that doesn't tell you what is wrong.
