USB and Linux
by Chris Glover 27 Jul '00

27 Jul '00

Hi, I've got a AMD K6-III using an VIA Apollo chipset. I'm running kernel 2.4.0-test1. I'm trying to make my USB devices work. I've created /dev/usb/lp0 and /dev/usb/scanner Reading through the output of dmesg, it correctly reports finding my Agfa 1212U scanner and my Epson Photo 750 printer, But when I try printing or scanning, bugger all happens. When scanning I get a USB Bulk mgs timeout error. Any ideas??? Thanks Chris Chris *************************************************************************** E Mail Chris(a)glovercc.clara.co,uk WWW http://www.glovercc.clara.co.uk ICQ 18054759 Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject. -Anon

Re: [Alug] Handspring vs Palm

The Sony PalmOS device is very recent, possibly not even on sale yet. It uses another incompatible add-on format, the expansion stick. If I find the details as I clean my in-tray tomorrow, unlikely as it is, I'll send them to the list. PS -- please trim quoted text!

by MJ Ray 25 Jul '00

25 Jul '00

Anglian Linux Users Group proudly present "ALUG The Underpromoted" Union House, UEA, Norwich 1400, Sunday 23 July Well, in the absence of the hoped speaker, this has degenerated into a meeting which will include: Network games xblast - 8-player multi-system bomberman-style lxdoom - the classic probably quake variants, if we get them working again probably some spiffy 3d stuff too and some SDL-based games, if we find some worth playing Games will either be on a local file server, or not need installing on client machines <g> ALUG website and email hosting where shall we put it? who will help? when do we move it? Next two meetings: Deadlines for confirming outside speakers so we don't end up in this state again. Appointing organisers? Directions should be on the website from past meetings at UEA, as this is in the same place. We have an 8-port hub available, but we are short of network cards and patch leads, so please bring them along with your machines and power cables. Discussion of any of the above points are welcomed on the mailing list alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk

Well, the main thing to remember is that the Palm, Handspring and the newer Sony clones all use different add-on formats, although adapters for some connectors are now becoming available (according to Palm Tipsheets). Pick the one that has the right add-ons that you think you might want. On the Linux end, I have coldsync working well with a serial cradle. I don't know if USB works as well, as I don't have that. ;-)

Re: [Alug] Have we got a definite date for the next meeting yet?

Yes, it's Sunday 23rd July. Suggestions for what to do welcomed. I'd suggest that we try network games, as there's not going to be much life on campus to impress with wonderful science. If we do go for that, can people suggest good network games, so we can install them and then not worry about an external network? I'll start off by suggesting Dumb, the doom engine with the sanest net play. (Search freshmeat for it.)

Linux can't see all my memory
by John Woodard 11 Jul '00

Linux only sees 64Mb of 384Mb. IIRC there is some command you can enter at the lilo prompt to correct this. Could someone please enlighten me. Cheers, BJ

If that is the case and you can confirm it, I'll annoy the room bookings people by moving it back another week.

Now I just wish I could remember the brand. I'm not keen to buy Diamond again after their complete lack of Linux support on my last purchase.
