Do you need help?X

Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit


Sending this again as it did not seem to get to the list when I first 
sent it this morning.



I am need of some help with a USB device under Debian; trying last night
multiple times to no avail.



I have a Dallas Semiconductor Thermochron temperature data logger that I
am trying to set. The data logger (DS1921G-F5) is attached to a USB
bridge (DS1921G-F5). I downloaded their linux utilities which consist of
two simple C programs: One to set a "mission"  and the other to download
the datat logged:


Do you need more help?X

thermo21.c  thermo21.h  thermodl.c  thermoms.c



The readme states:



/These utilities are used to download (thermodl) and

mission (thermoms) a DS1921G Thermochron iButton.  The
DS1921Z/DS1921H are not supported with this application.


THERMODL:


usage: thermodl 1wire_net_name <output_filename> </Fahrenheit>


  •   Thermochron download on the 1-Wire Net port
  
  •   1-wire_net_port required port name
    example: "COM1" (Win32 DS2480B),"/dev/cua0"
    (Linux DS2480B),"1" (Win32 TMEX)
  
  •   <output_filename> optional output filename
  
  •   </Fahrenheit> optional Fahrenheit mode (default Celsius)
  
  •   version 1.03




Required on the command line is the 1-Wire port name:


example:  "COM1"                (Win32 DS2480B)
          "/dev/cua0"           (Linux DS2480B)
          "1"                   (Win32 TMEX)
          "\\.\DS2490-1"        (Win32 USB DS2490)
          "{1,5}"               (Win32 DS2480B multi build)
          "{1,6}"               (Win32 USB DS2490 multi build)
          "{1,2}"               (Win32 DS1410E multi build)

/When the device is plugged in dmesg shows:

usb 1-10: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 6
PM: Adding info for usb:1-10

It's easy to get over it. Just look at the top posted and bottom
posted messages here and see for yourself which makes more sense:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Posting

GMail users can scroll up and see the previous contents. But more
conventional mail client users will get _really_ pained if they see
untrimmed top postes stuff because they can't scroll up and
search. Besides, it is always better to trim replies and quote only
the things related to context.

Ah.  I guess that might be an overly broad assumption on my part these

I don't think you're a troll.

Okay.  My Mom just went from an iMac to Vista.  I feel your pain.

Still, I'd rather the perceived problems got fixed.

Mike,

Right now you're at Sarge.  If you do an upgrade, consider:

One of the first steps is to upgrade your Sarge.  That will likely be a
big download with the chance of breakage.

One of the later steps is to upgrade from latest sarge to latest-etch.
Etch is now at r1.  The tested upgrade path is r0.  Since so much
changed between r0 and r1, there may be problems; I don't know.

Since in the process of upgrading you'll end up replacing everything
anyway, it may end up easier and faster to just do a reinstall.

IIRC, the big problem is the keyboard/mouse combo.  A basic install from
the netinst.iso should let you test if Etch will fix that problem
without you needing to totally reinstall all your packages.  If it
works, go ahead and finish installing.  If it doesn't, go ahead with
Windoes.  The test itself should only take about 30 minutes once you
have Etch's netinst.iso burned.

Actually, I just thought of something.  I've never used it, but the
installer has a GUI version.  I think it may be on netinst but I don't
know.  If it is, boot that and you can test the mouse/keyboard problem
without touching the existing install.  If it works, great, if not...

Doug.

Have you considered a dial-up modem and setting up mgetty with auto-ppp?
Then you can dial-in to get a CLI or ppp in and do ssh -X and run her X
apps.

Since the gf is likely to install Windows anyway, you might try 
persuading her to leave a goodly chunk of drive space unpartitioned, and 
then after Windows is installed, you can go to 
http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ and install Debian from there on the 
unpartitioned space, without downloading/burning a CD image. Then she 
can dual-boot and have the best of both worlds, and not actually leave 
Debian behind completely. If she's the geek she seems to be, she might 
just enjoy the process for the nerdiness of it.

Here's my personal letter template.  I copy it to the correct file name,
edit it, then latex it.  The letter text itself is just plain text.

I'm satisfied to leave that up to the individual.  It's none of my
business.  Caveat emptor applies in all situations.  If they want to
use it, _good for them_.  If they want crapware from Redmond instead,
_good for them_.  Irrelevant to me.  I've got what I want.

Andrew Sackville-Jones(sp?) has the multiple queues thing working.
What else is a problem?

How/where did you set the static IP?

Have you configured the DHCP server with the slugs IP.  If not, DHCP
will not know that the slug's IP has been set.

man 5 dhcpd.conf see the examples for static leases.

On the Slug or server?  If the dhcpd.conf setting are correct on the
server then it should assing the slug the IP you set it at

What correct setting on what, the slug?

You might want to take a deep breath and try giving us a better
idea of what you mean.

You saying that you successfully installed Etch r0 and upgraded to
Etch-r1.  I should hope that works.  I was commenting on upgrading
straight from Sarge to Etch-r1.

Just happened to look at "const volatile" semantics in C99 standard. It's
more interesting, than plain `fmt` :)

Is it really so hard to have text-only pdfs in the same formatting as in
pdf? pdftotext outputs a table there, constructed by whitespace
indentation, all in one paragraph.

EXAMPLE The common type that results when the second and third operands are
pointers is determined in two independent stages. The appropriate qualifiers,
for example, do not depend on whether the two pointers have compatible types.
Given the declarations const void *c_vp;
         void *vp;
         const int *c_ip;
         volatile int *v_ip;
         int *ip;
         const char *c_cp;
         the third column in the following table is the common type that is the result
of a conditional expression in which the first two columns are the second and
third operands (in either order): c_vp v_ip c_ip vp ip vp c_ip 0 v_ip c_cp c_ip
ip const void * volatile int * const volatile int * const void * const int *

EXAMPLE 1 An object declared extern const volatile int real_time_clock;
         may be modifiable by hardware, but cannot be assigned to, incremented, or
decremented.

For those, who saw (or will see) script. It is optimized for looong
paragraphs in one line, with partial output "P", to have working string
as small as possible (it is part of justification thing). On the start,
line is checked to be long, before actual processing. But i think, it's
possible to understand all that after some playing :)

Apologies sorry in fact I read it as:- "Since so much changed between r0 and 
r1, there may be problems; I don't know." Thinking that was a sentence in its 
own right.

Wrong reading obviously.
Sorry again.

The static IP settings are in /etc/network/interfaces.

The slug actually is my DHCP server and is running DNSMASQ for that. The IP that
it comes up with is within range, but is an old one I used to have assigned to
it which makes me curious.  I don't see why I would have to reserve an address
for it.  Shouldn't Debian boot with the settings I specify regardless of what
the DHCP server says (in this case itself)?   There are no conflicts with other
devices on the network.  And when I check the leases file during the time that
the erroneous settings are applied, there is no listing for the address the slug
got.  This tells me that it may be reverting to its old static settings and not
getting it from DHCP.

The interfaces setup is here:


# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
broadcast 192.168.1.255

Please post /etc/network/interfaces
