does bittorrent, edonkey, overnet and lots more. I only use it for bittorrent and edonkey.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanx!

Not the easiest built up softare I've encountered. But it does everything like I want it to do :)

Tim (I guess this one has been solved ;) )

Why do you need it to run as a system service?

Because I want it to be running on the server without having to be logged in on that system. And therefor will startup with the system at boot. Because it will be running on a fileserver which reboots from time to time automatically.

Hi there,

I used to use utorrent on a Windows-box as a system-service. Since it has a WebGUI it was a cool feature.

So I could make one of my computers download stuff, while I wasn't even home. And ofcourse without using any processing-power or network-bandwidth on the other machines in my network.

Now, I am searching for a similar tool on Linux. Eventhough a lot of torrent-clients I tried on Linux have some sort of webGUI (some through plugins and some have it native). BUT....none of them can be installed and used as a system-service...

Anyone any suggestions?

thanx,

Tim

I switched off PnP BIOS (which was on; thanx to Steve :) ) but unfortunately it made no difference...

Also switching to Gnome didn't solve anything...

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between both systems? It looks like the SCSI-subsystem of the kernel is flawed or something...

greetz and thank you for thinking along :D

Do you see anything with the command lsusb run as root from a console?

 

Have you tried this in Gnome instead of KDE? My usb devices no longer automount under KDE, but work fine under Gnome (I haven't checked to see if I get any errors).

 

Also make sure that she has her BIOS set to "PnP OS = No"

No, there is no device listed when I run the lsusb-command... only the standard reply of the hub and ports...

Hmmmm.... I still have to try it under Gnome... I will try that tonight....

and will take a look at the BIOS aswell....

heheeheh...come to think of it... kinda strange that we should have to work with Gnome instead of KDE because of this...

greetz

okay...here are the results:

tail of the syslog reports:

...

kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 14

kernel: usb 1-2: device not accepting address 14, error -71

kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 15

kernel: usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

kernel: scsi37 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

kernel: usb-storage: device found at 15

kernel: usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning

kernel: usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 15

...

and it keeps on trying withe same lines and error....

So what does error 71 mean ? And how can I solve it? :)

and like this ofcourse the fstab and mount stay empty on the sda because there is nothing to mount...

greetz

in a terminal

tail -f /var/log/syslog &

 

for clues when mounting that device

Ok...thank you...

I will try this when I get home... (am at work now ;) )

Hello Tim,

 

I have been having a bit of fun with ab SD card (see my recent posts) and I though I would have alook at your post as our problems are not dissimilar. This is a long shot for your problem but I have found in my meanderings through the linux learning curve that Konqueror is a very newbie friendly peice of software. Have you tried mounting your device through the device manager in the Konqueror Extra Tool Bar? Open Komqueror from Personal Files from the KDE menu. Then > Settings > Toolbars > Show Extra Toolbar > click on the first icon on the left of the Extra Tool Bar and you should have something like that shown in the attcahed screen shot. If you right click on your device there is an option to mount the device from there. Hope this helps - its worth a try :D

 

I see what you mean... But my problem starts before this... because it isn't even in my devices listing... It's not being recognised as a 'block-device'.... so because of that I can't mount it anywhere...

And in 2006 it does.... so I wonder what they changed... :)

At which sec-level are you right now? Because I'm configuring this machine as a workstation. So I think I am already at the lowest securitiy level...

But reading that you had some issues too with USB devices yourself... I conclude that they messed up USB-device-handling in 2007... Why couldn't they l;eave it just like in 2006? ;)

I really like mdk....but I don't understand this.... :(

greetz...

I will try Gnome.... :)

Thank you for your effort... it's appreciated...

greetz,

Tim

I was looking at them both... But nowhere to be found...

I tried to see what is diffeent on my 2006-system...and when I connect the MP3-player on there it mounts it directly as a block-device 'sda'... and on 2007 it doesn't... Which daemon is responible for this?

Also I noticed that the 'harddrake-service' is listed in the 2007 but NOT in the 2006...could this be the problem?

greetz

Okay, I've tried it every way I know to mount them manually.... no succes...

Strangely enough I noticed that in the hardware-list is shows up as a usb-device, but not under 'block-devices'

So, I think I'm going to hook it up to my 2006 workstation and find out how it is seen by that system...

Do you mean KDED Media Manager?

That one is running.... :D

Hmmmmz....now it's getting spooky....hahahahaha

I checked the hardware-list in the MCC, like you said...

And now....all of a sudden... It's there...

I didn't change anything.... Is it this unstable nowadays?

So, it sees the hardware: Flashdrive with MP3 player

....but...

It doesn't mount is under /mnt OR /media

so, maybe I should try to mount it manually?

Is it still to be found under: /dev/sda1 ?

For the MP3-player I think it is FAT, like most of them. But I am not certain.

But as I said. The weird thing is that mdv2006 doesn't have a problem mounting it and showing its contents... and 2007 does...

Eventhough I think I configured it exactly the same...

Is there a way to see a list of connected USB-devices? So then I at least will know if linux sees the device... :)

Thank you for trying to help me out BTW :D

greetz

Happy New Year to you too :D

 

check to see if hal is running from the terminal with service -s. On my 2007 system HAL dies when I log out and back in again.

yes, it is :(

...

hald (pid 1980) is running...

Harddrake service was run at boot time

...

dbus-daemon (pid 3709 1872) is running...

...

any more suggestions? :)

First of all: Happy new year to everybody! :)

...and now for my question...

I have been using Mandriva for quite some time now, but never gained the status of being an expert. Actually I consider myself to be quite a NOOB ;)

I currently run a few systems on 2006: 2 servers and 1 workstation.

Now I'm configuring my girlfriends system. And I thought to download and install 2007 powerpack.

So this what I am using: 2007 powerpack under KDE 3.5

Now the strange thing happens: She owns a nameless USB-mp3-player and a blurtooth USB stick. And the both won't mount or will be discovered by the system at all. And they both work perfectly and are automounted on all my 2006 systems. Server and workstation.

I am configuring hers as a workstation. So no too high security level. HAL-deamon, DBUS and Harddrake sevices up and running. All USB-ports are started up correctly as far as I can tell...

Now I have found some topics about this subject. But all possible solutions given in those won't help.

My question: What did they change??

thank you in advance,

Tim
