    The usb-storage module should be loaded when the device is connected and turned on as well as sd_mod IIRC. It's not in your lsmod output. Try manually loading the modules with:

     

    # modprobe sd_mod

    # modprobe usb-stroage

     

    Then with the device connected and powered on, run:

     

    # fdisk -l

     

    and see if you get any sdx entry.

    # modprobe sd_mod

    # modprobe usb-storage

    # fdisk -l

  4. Why gaming lacks in Linux

    in Games

    Posted

    Well even the companys that do make games for linux, the installers are bull, you often have to jump through hoops to get them installed and most people just can't be bothered (neverwinter nights is a good example)

     

    There should be cd installers, is there a reason why we can't pop in the cd and let it install? Is this a linux problem or the game companys?

    The companys'. Loki installer can work fine if they want.
    Cedega is a problem, people are scared to pay for something that might not work with the game they want to play. They should definetly have some sort of trial, so people can test if there game works then they would see it was worth buying. Linux has great chance on the gaming scene, with nvidia and ati working hard on their linux support. I think linux gaming will improve, but at a very slow rate, i'm talking years here.
    Cedega should be the last choice what people use when everything else fails. Although it's may not easy but it's possible to write platform independent games like UT2k4, Doom3 etc. There are even ready libraries like SDL, ogg etc. They just have to use it.
    Another thing is that Linux seems to be a moving target as far as development is concerned. Gcc, libraries, all the stuff seems to be improving at a steady rate. Compare this to Windows where nothing seems to move at all.
    The permenent development does not mean that the new libraries are incompatible to the old ones. And if they are then you only have to install the old libs. They can be included in the install CDs. They are open source software.
    Also, the thing that makes Linux so secure (user permission, user habits, etc) makes it damn hard to install software, especially games. Just think, most games require you to have Adminstrator privileges in order to install and to play. You also see that very few Windows users login as a less than Administrator account. Heck, they don't even know there is a limited user account in the first place. In Linux, we are trained to "DO NOT LOGIN AS ROOT" from the beginning. Unfortunately, that makes it difficult to install software.

    Insatll to the home dir then. Or maybe the installer could ask it:

    Do you want to use this software alone [ ]

    Do you want this software be available to everyone using this computer (You will need root permissions) [ ].

    Anyway it could be an easy workaround.

     

    IMO the biggest problem is the small market.

    And IMO two things I know of can change this:

    1. PS3 as Jet2k5 wrote. Nothing really need to be said.

    2. MAC switching to Intel. Some games already running on it, like World of warcraft, maybe there's a lot more I don't know. And it's a UNIX variant OS.

    When big game software companies start to use platform independent libs we're already made the biggest step.

  5. dosbox and colon

    in Virtual Machines and Emulators

    Posted

    My problem is that I can't type colon in dosbox. It's a known bug of dosbox with non english keyboard layouts. They recommend to change keybord layout while using dosbox. So how can I change the layout only where and when I use dosbox. I've tried the "loadkeys" command and it worked only on the Ctrl+Alt+Fx terminals but didn't change mrxvt's layout.

     

    dosbox 0.63

    Mandriva 2005

    It is usually started by udev.

    How about the services harddrake, haldaemon, and hotplug? Are they running?

    Yes, all three.
    Open a console and type this command as root

    tail -f /var/log/messages

     

    And see if there are any changes when the camera is plugged in and out.

    I will try it on next tuesday. Thank you for helping me.

    Hmm.. I see that usb-storage is missing from the list. If that is the case, no wonder it doesn't create /dev/sda

     

    Is udev service running?

    udev starts at boot. The list was taken when the camera was not plugged in, just to show that necessary things start at boot. Should usb-storage be started at boot, or is it started by udev?

    Oh I forgot this: the OS is Mandriva 2005 LE.

    Which version of mandrake are you running? Most recent cameras can be detected as usb mass storage devices in linux. However you must have the usb modules loaded for the system to detect the device. Run the following as root and post the output:

     

    # lsmod

     

    That will list all loaded modules.

     

    Also, with the camera connected and turned on, post the output of:

     

    # fdisk -l

     

    That should list all mountable filesystems recognized by the system, whether presently mounted or not.

    The camera is not mine and my relative who is the owner, has left for a week, so I can only try your tips on next tuesday.

    Hotplug is loaded, and so does the usb modules as you can see.

    if that does not help, you can still create a static link to your usb-camera and make the appropriate entry in your /etc/fstab file.

    How can I find which dev file represents the camera? And what file system is on it? Looked at the official panasonic site but it's only a commercial ("how can you buy more accesories" type bs)

    The title is self-explanatory. I'd like to mount this camera. How should I do that?

    lsusb is not showing anything (meaning it only shows my printer). Tried the control center but no appropiate setting for cameras there, at least I couldn't find any.

    Tried if mount /dev/sda helps -> special device /dev/sda doesn't exist.

  12. qt3 update problem

    "telinit 3" before updating?
    It's just guessing, isn't it? Most of the times I use windowmaker, so it shouldn't conflict with a working KDE\Qt.
    Download it and install it by hand.
    I used the already downloaded one in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms (Btw 80M other rpms are there, can I just delete them?)
    [root@localhost rpms]# rpm -ivh qt3-common-3.3.4-7.1.102mdk.i586.rpm

    urpmi gave the same error again.

    Sooooo is it safe to use force(d installation) here?

  15. qt3 update problem

    in Software

    Posted

    When I try to update my PC (Mandriva 2005) with rpmdrake, I can't update the qt3-common-3.3.4-7.1.102mdk package. The installation fails with the following message:

    qt3-common = 3.3.4-5mdk is needed by (installed) libqt3-3.3.4-5mdk.

    So how can I fix it? Is it safe to use forced installation?

  17. Windows wipes the floor with linux

    in Everything Linux

    Posted

    Here in Europe i seem to remeber reading something about them having till july this year to open up there technologies.  If they dont do it to the satisfaction of the mediator, they will be fined 5% of there gross profit, roughly 5 million dollars a day untill they do open up the technologies.

     

    Now thats got to hurt, even a company like microsoft.

     

    p.s. not sure if i got all the details right couldnt find the article.

    That's only releasing full API docs. Currently they holding back some things (at least they roumored), so only MS products can fully work together with MS servers.

    They not opening up any technology. The are patenting everything they can.

    Oh and there's the windows without media player, which they still didn't release AFAIK.

  24. Disable magicdev

    Posted

    why not disable nero instead? :D

    Guess I will. I killalled magicdev and put an empty rw CD in, but Nero wrote it's not empty and wanted to erase it anyway. I chose OK, but the erasing stopped at about 50% and it started all over again (it's not empty, erase it).

    I know Mandrake is not supported but it's only a CD writer.

    I have to burn it under win.
