Fatdog64-500 rc3

[jamesbond]

I will try your suggestions tonight. I wonder if it possible to simply:

Code: Select all

rm arusb_lnx.ko
modprobe ar9170usb.ko

Just to test.

Lupu doesn't have Otus driver compiled in. You can try to do that (not rm, but rmmod) - but I have a suspicion it may not work, because the Otus driver have may configured the dongle in such a way that it cannot be reconfigured later. Better to remove the Otus driver, do a "depmod -a" and then reboot. Let me know.

I cannot mount a LAN resource on Fatdog64-500 rc3. Is this a problem or is there something I'm not understanding?

Here's the terminal findings. Should be resolved before Fatdog goes live.

*****UPDATE TO THIS PROBLEM AT BOTTOM OF THIS POST !!! *****

Code: Select all

# mount -t cifs //192.168.1.30/NAS  /mnt/NAS
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.30/NAS,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

# mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.30/NAS  /mnt/NAS
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.30/NAS,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

#  dmesg | tail

smbfs is deprecated and will be removed from the 2.6.27 kernel. Please migrate to cifs
smb_fill_super: missing data argument

It turns out that the "username" is required for this command to work!

# mount -t cifs -o username= me //192.168.1.30/NAS /mnt/NAS

(This now works!)

Is there something about FatDog that could cause problems with the default browser?

The links in BOINC do not open up a browser. I've tried entering:

BROWSER="/usr/local/bin/firefox"
export BROWSER

and

BROWSER="/usr/local/bin/firefox-spot"
export BROWSER

in /etc/profile

and also in

the script that launches BOINC but the links don't work.

A message flashes briefly "launching browser" but no browser ever launches??

gcmartin, smbfs is deprecated. cifs is the way to go. Thanks for pointing out that it requires a user name - my cifs share uses username and password, so I never realise that even if you don't need password, you still need the user name

lakedude, you have 3 choices:
a) /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser
b) /usr/bin/firefox-spot
c) /usr/bin/firefox

a) will launch whatever default browser is configured, it's normally firefox-spot
b) will launch firefox under user spot
c) will launch firefox as root. Not recommended, unless you have problems with the other two.

cheers!

lakedude, I've just uploaded the latest nvidia driver. Cheers.

I've uploaded Fatdog64-500 final and it's devx file. I'll make an announcement soon.
