Bingo! It worked.
Thank you Ian!
Have a few virtuals on me!
:beer: -
I'm now traveling and will be back home Friday so I cannot do the testing and cofiguring before that. I'll check the path this coming weekend.
Do you mean that I'd add the path here in the udev rules?
# cat /lib/udev/rules.d/huawei_e367.rulesSUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446",SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1",RUN+="/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -c /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1446"
BTW, I always run updatedb before running locate.
-
It seems that everything is working but not automatically.
Now that you've enabled logging is a log created when you manually invoke usb_modeswitch?
Also are the security levels the same on the two systems?
I cannot find any logs for usb_modeswitch. Even after I manually started it.
I guess I need to teach my wife how to run commands on konsole and issue them as root.
Can this command be executed with a desktop shortcut and with user rights (or the root password as a prompt)?
-
I saw that, but I figured it'd be a different piece of sw.There is modemmanager in the repositories but I doubt it has anything to do with usb_modeswitch. -
Also, I cannot find modem-modeswitch in the repos for Mageia1.
-
I tried finding modem-modeswitch with locate, but it's not installed. No files found.
But I already know that usb_modeswitch works, I just need to run that everytime I plug it in. I'd like to know if there is a way to make is stick. Will modem-modeswitch provide something new to this?
-
K: Here's the file. I've added my modem version to the conf file:
$ cat /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf # Configuration for the usb_modeswitch package, a mode switching tool for # USB devices providing multiple states or modes # # This file is evaluated by the wrapper script "usb_modeswitch_dispatcher" # in /usr/sbin # To enable an option, set it to "1", "yes" or "true" (case doesn't matter) # Everything else counts as "disable" # Disable automatic mode switching globally (e.g. to access the original # install storage) DisableSwitching=0 # Enable logging (results in a extensive report file in /var/log, named # "usb_modeswitch_<interface-name>" (and probably others) EnableLogging=1 DefaultVendor= 0x12d1 DefaultProduct=0x1446 TargetVendor= 0x12d1 TargetProductList="1001,1406,1446,140b,140c,1412,141b,1433,14ac,1506" CheckSuccess=20 MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000"
Ian: there is no file "/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch". I just changed that to what was working for me in Mageia1. Do you think it would make a difference?
In Mageia the usb_modeswitch data files are at /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/ directory (all different types having their own files like /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1446
$ cat /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1446 ######################################################## # Huawei, newer modems DefaultVendor= 0x12d1 DefaultProduct=0x1446 TargetVendor= 0x12d1 TargetProductList="1001,1406,140b,140c,1412,141b,1433,14ac,1446,1506" CheckSuccess=20 MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000"

Ok thanks. I'll post that shortly.

I don't know if what I did was done correctly. It didn't help, so could someone see there's something wrong with this. I want this dongle to automatically be recognized as a modem instead of harddrive or cd rom.
I wrote a new rule to udev. Should this rule automatically run the command whenever this dongle is plugged in?
# cat /lib/udev/rules.d/huawei_e367.rules SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446",SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1",RUN+="usb_modeswitch -c /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1446" -
Ian: I do have usb_modeswitch installed. But still it seems I need run that command again each time I plug the dongle back in.
-
OK. Finally I managed to make the system recognize the dongle!
I did a whole bunch of things, but in the end I did this:
# usb_modeswitch -c /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/12d1:1446
The only problem I still have with this is that I seem to need to do that all over again if I detach the dongle at any time. How can I make that choice to stick? Or is it something that I need to run (always as a root) whenever I (or my wife) plug it in?
-
These are the kernels. I don't think it's about the kernel version as someone suggested in that thread.
Laptop: 2.6.38.8-server-6.mga
netbook: 2.6.38.8-desktop-8.mga
-
Thanks Isadora.
It may be that the kernel versions differ - at least I know that for some reason my laptop has a server kernel version (I don't know why). I'll check that at home.

My ISP sent me a Huawei E367 3G usb-dongle. I've never used one before, so this is all new to me. In my laptop (ACER w/ Mageia1 - see my sig) it was just Plug&Play. It works very well, no problem. It was correctly detected as a 3G modem.
Now in my wife's notebook it's a different story. The dongle will not be correctly detected as a 3G modem, but instead a CD-Rom drive. I've tried with Network Center and with Network & Internet Configuration tool. All it says is that no devices detected.
In my laptop, where it's detected correctly, it is detected as USB ID 12d1:1506.
$ sudo lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:0158 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

But in the notebook it is detected as USB ID 12d1:1446 (w/ additional note: E1552 (HSPA modem))

How can I get this detected correctly in the notebook?

I'm with John here; it's all Mageia for me. Mageia is like Mandriva should have been. It's working just fine on all our home hardware. The only hw I have not tried it on is the older workstation hw I'm running Mandriva as a server for my home
Go Mageia team!

You're welcome!

I've drawn some userbars for some of the most popular distros. Please feel free to use them in sigs.

Installing it now... :)
-
I got this to work!
Again I'm really not sure what it was that finally got this scanner to work, but one thing I did was install net-snmp package. Perhaps it was that, but anyway it's working now!
Thanks to all who contributed!
-
OK, thanks John. I really wanted the one with wireless printing and in the past HP has had a good track record of supporting Linux systems. But perhaps the problem lies within Mandriva - I have read that this particular printer/scanner works perfectly in Ubuntu...
Is there anyone, who has managed to make an HP Photosmart to scan through WiFi in Mandriva?
-
John, I meant to ask: Are you able to scan wirelessly with your Photosmart B109a? If so, how do you do it; do you just start xsane and you get the image from the scanner?
-
OK, I got the scanner to work when connected with USB. I needed a few more files for the hplip 3.10.6 version. I installed all these and it started to work:
- hplip-hpijs-3.10.6-3bubmdv2010.1.i586.rpm
- hplip-3.10.6-3bubmdv2010.1.i586.rpm
- hplip-gui-3.10.6-3bubmdv2010.1.i586.rpm
- libsane-hpaio1-3.10.6-3bubmdv2010.1.i586.rpm
- hplip-model-data-3.10.6-3bubmdv2010.1.i586.rpm
- hplip-hpijs-ppds-3.10.6-3bubmdv2010.1.i586.rpm
These I found from here:
Now I need to get it working wirelessly. As soon as I disconnected the USB it stopped working. How can I make it work over wlan?
-
Now I'm confused :huh:
You and me both. :huh:
I thought the problem was that you couldn't install hplip 3.10.9 from the package downloaded from the sourceforge site. Once libusb-compat0.1-devel is present the build moves past the libusb error stage. From what I saw during the install of hplip 3.10.9 an attempt is made to communicate with the printer.
I tried installing hplip 3.10.9 from the package downloaded from SF site. But I always hit the wall with the libusb. Is this a rigths issue? Or a missing symbolic link or something like that?
But that's not the problem anymore! A friend in a Finnish board pointed me to here:
http://www.mdvrb-fac...de/HByName.html
There I found packages to 3.10.6 version of hplip. I got it to work and I got the right drivers for my printer! So that's good.
BUT, I couldn't get the scanner to work with xsane (or any other software for that matter)... I tried running hp-setup, but it will just not find my HP. I have tried it both wirelessly and with the USB. No luck. What to do...?
-
OK. First I checked that I had libusb-compat0.1-devel package installed. So that's no help.
Then I tried using the scanner with the USB connected, but no. I got notification that the software for the printer is not installed: "No printer driver for HP Photosmart B110 series". Yes, I have B109a installed, but with that I can use the printer though - and that is good.
I tried using xsane as root, but again got only the webcam image. So no help there. :unsure:
When running dmesg I got a very long list of something I could not understand. This list goes further than Konsole will show (scrolling up all the way):
end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0 sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] ILI sr 2:0:0:0: [sr0] Add.

Then scrolling down I see some shorewall lines and finally this HP Photosmart on usb 2-5:

I think I need the hplip 3.10.6 or 3.10.9
