Usb Recover Accross Suspend Resume ??

[lardman]

I 'love' you guys... those hacks around... but does ANY of you tried to modprobe usbdmonitor and try how does it work with STANDARD OpenZaurus 3.5.x hotplug?

When noone confirm does it work (it works for me) I won't set this as default as usbdmonitor is nasty thing sometimes.

No it doesn't work (on my C750). It doesn't fail, but just seems to do nothing, and Windows still doesn't recogniase my Z until I run start_net.sh.

Grog, your command is wrong. Try "modprobe usbdmonitor" or replace "modprobe" by "insmod" in the command you tried...

I did a straight 'modprobe usbdmonitor' and it didn't work.

Ok, I tried a straight 'modprobe usbdmonitor' (after fixing my PATH so that I could, it seems the default /etc/profile isn't set up correctly), and no error messages, no connection, no nothin'. Then I run the start_net.sh script and voila! Connected I am.

[grog]

Question - is there any way I can add an icon to run the start_net.sh script (or any script for that matter), and if so, how? thks

[lardman]

Yes, just create a .desktop file and change the binary it points to to one in /opt/QtPalmtop/bin (either move start_net.sh there, or create a symlink there).

Ok, I found the .desktop files, and they seem to be placed in an apps dir, but there's serveral apps dirs:

/home/QtPalmtop/apps
/home/opt/QtPalmtop/apps
/home/opt/QtPalmtop/share/apps
/root/.kde/share/apps
/root/kdepim/apps

Which is the 'correct' one to place my new files into? I'm guessing the /home/opt/QtPalmtop/apps, 'cause that seems to have all of my 'active' icons in it.


Looking at these files, some are pretty simple, like like the one for nethack:

root@poodle:/home/opt/QtPalmtop/apps/Games# cat nethack.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Comment = Classic Dungeon Adventure Game
Exec = nethack
Icon = NetHack
Name = NetHack
Type = Games
CanFastload = 0

So the default bin path is /opt/QtPalmtop/bin as you mentioned, but where does it pull it's iocns from? There's no 'icon*' dir that I can see.

thanks for your help.

Thanks for the script and the description how to get the desktop icon. All is now working great.

I used tab manager to edit the desktop entry, it has a pulldown menu of icons, and I chose the one from embedded-konqueror.

/opt/QtPalmtop/pics

... is where icons are stored.

/opt/QtPalmtop/apps

.... has subdirectories for the different tabs and their .desktop files.

Hope that helps.

[grog]

Thanks for the help re: setting up .desktop files. Works like a charm. But just one more question (of course). I added a new tab called Utilities, but it has a question mark for it's icon (the default I presume). How do I specify an icon for a tab? thks

[x86Daddy]

In the apps subdirectories for each tab, there is a ".directory" file (hidden due to the leading dot)  Copy one of the others and edit it (it's text) to point at the icon of your choosing.

oooh, cool. Now why didn't I think of looking for dot files? Thanks

Hi...

I have the same problem (usb connection works fine... until Z suspended).

tried "modprob usbdmonitor":
"module usbdmonitor not found
failed to load module usbdmonitor"

so i tried lardman's start_net.sh script:
all the rmmod commands resulted with
"pxa_bi: No such file or directory" etc.

I dont have the path "/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/usb/device/" but i found the modules under "/home/root/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embdix/kernel/drivers/usb/device/"

did ismod with the same result:
"...No such file or directory".

I'm running kernel 2.6.11-3.5.3... maybe that has to do with it?

any suggestions?

Edit: BTW, I also tried it with the sa1100_bi with the same results

YoG.

man... with 2.6 kernel on Zaurus all you need is loading "g_ether" module once - then you will have usb networking without reloading any modules. No more crap sharp 'drivers'.

[lardman]

First of all, I fully agree with hrw, upgrade to one of the 2.6.x kernel images we have on oz.org.

Secondly:

I dont have the path "/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/usb/device/" but i found the modules under "/home/root/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embdix/kernel/drivers/usb/device/"

Why?

There's no reason I can think of for these modules to be here, unless you installed them  somewhere other than /

Even then, the pxa_bi module should still be installed to /

Are you definitely running an OpenZaurus image?
