You must type root before beginning from the start.

With this kernel My camera will not work. I have to revert to default or OC kernel.

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900

This is really a prealpha kernel, I've asked for logs in the first post and detailed how to provide them in further posts, unfortunately some of you think this is a final release for some reason.

We're not sure if it would conflict with kernel-power if we add the patch to it, and that's not really a priority.

I usually make mistakes only once.
You made the mistake of not checking h-e-n's garage page :)

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900

I followed MohammadAG's instructions and my transcend 1gb flash disk worked fine.

Just a couple of points:
(1) Ensure you have the devel repos enabled.
(2) I used the command 'root' before I did anything
(3) ic2-tools will now install because of point 1.

When I can spend some quality time with my N900 I will provide log files. I intend to try my usb hub and logitech wireless keyboard (not bluetooth compatible) to see if I can persuade them to work.

Thanks to MohammadAG & developers who managed to get things this far. There is still a lot of work to be done so be patient.

Remember this is PRE-ALPHA software and is highly experimental.

2010-09-26 10:09

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900

@Kymera76 dpkg -i is an install command for files on the internal N900 memory, so if you havn't downloaded the file it wont exist and hence it wont install... So you can enable and disable devel forever without any result... If you have downloaded the file you just need to 'cd' to the directory and then do the dpkg -i command...

If this makes no sense to you then like MuhammadAG said this is not for you yet ;)

I did something like:
apt-get install i2c-tools

@Kymera76: Are you sure you should be doing this? You are asking pretty basic questions about stuff you are expected to know already.

With this kernel my camera app won't start and I cannot take photos. I will have to go back to the original Nokia kernel - which if fine for people who have this kind of experience but may cause problems for someone like yourself.

You have to be prepared to flash your device and install different kernels to keep you n900 in a usuable state. If anyone is not familiar with this type of thing then it is best to stay away until the software becomes more stable.

If anyone is having trouble following the basic steps or do not understand some of the posts then I strongly suggest you keep away - it will cause you nothing but grief and may leave you n900 is a non-working state.that you cannot fix yourself.

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900

i get this error every time i try to connect my flashstick/hdd with external power supply, just before pressing mount /dev/sda1 '/root/vboost.sh: line 3: i2cset: not found'

I've removed the script/i2c-tools and then reinstalled the .deb packages and rebooted. Then reinstalled the script/i2c-tools. Still the same.

Am i connecting at the wrong moment? I've tried at the moment MuhammadAG stated in the first post and as someone posted here 5 secs after connect usb now has shown?

The syslog is that contained from /var/log/syslogd?

MohammadAG

2010-09-26 14:31

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900

hmm, could be that /usr/local/sbin is not in your path, edit the vboost.sh file to point to /usr/local/sbin/i2cset
Remember to run it as root, or download the new deb (same link which checks for kernel and root).

Yes, syslog is /var/log/syslog
I suggest echo "" > /var/log/syslog every once in a while to clear it as it can get very large and fill your /

Re: [Testers needed] USB Hostmode prealpha for the N900

the problems is position of files.

If i use filesmanager i see i2c files armel but if i use xterminal and write ls "list files" dont'see l2c files armel...why??

Then i have two root:
sudo gainroot (go to home/user)
root (Nokia-N900-51-1)

u don't even know the architecture ? please think this over before installing...

anyways , n900 uses an arm processor , so you should install armel...
i don't understand what probelm u have with removing files in whatever directory .

well , to remove any file , rm <filename> , ex . to remove a pic inside MyDocs , u will write rm /home/user/MyDocs/<picname>

if u want to remove a directory u will add -r to the command ,
doing
rm -r /home/user/MyDocs/.images will delete the images folder .
u should now be able to delete whatever u want...

if u understand u should be able to tell what does the following command do if u are root ?

rm -r /*

u are not advised to try it .

Mate, please, this isn't for you, I'm subscribed to this thread and I see that it backfired into a how to learn about linux thread. The title states [Testers needed] and I mentioned that we only need tests from people who know what they're doing.

Nobody is calling you stupid, everyone understands more than another in different things.

Anyway, to answer your question.
Read http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-devel and add the repo, then follow the steps in the first post.

If the files are in MyDocs just go to xterm and write:
sudo gainroot 'enter'
cd /home/user/MyDocs 'enter'
dpkg -i 'name of.debfile' 'enter'

That should do it ;)

And the download site gives a 500 internal server error (in xterm) and i can't download hostmode.py (the new one)...

How to workaround this? ;)

I've been having some fun.

I managed to connect a Belkin 4-port hub to my n900.

I've tried connecting a joystick and a mouse. Although they appear on the hub I can't use them.

Also tried connecting an external hard-drive but I don't think it was recognised at all.
The battery was quite low and may have caused problems?

One day will it be possible to charge the device at the same time as using a USB peripheral?

I've attached my log - I hope it's useful.

OT - user-space USB packages

I know this thread is about testing ... but I can't easily get hardware (USB adapters/converters) to test with (Amazon and Ebay won't ship to where I am presently ...), but it is great to see progress on this.

However, my desire for USB host features is mainly for non-USB-storage stuff ... specifically getting photos off PTP-only cameras, such as my Canon EOS 500D DSLR.

This should be possible with the hostmode kernel, if the user-space tools (libusb, libgphoto, gphoto2 etc.) are available.

I will try and get a converter in the next 3 weeks or so, and maybe try and look at this myself then, but if others are interested and can make progress in the next 3 weeks, that would be great.

(I don't see any libusb or gphoto packages in the standard + extras-devel repos, let me know if it is already available somewhere)

Location above contains the same kernel updated with more modules.
Should support NTFS RW, UDF, and ISOFS, so you should be able to use NTFS formatted devices as well as externally powered DVD drives.

I also compiled and uploaded genisoimage, which contains mkisofs.
http://maemo.org/packages/view/genisoimage/
No instructions for the time being, but you should, theoretically (not tested actually) be able to write to DVDs with cdrecrod (when I compile that).

Logs are always welcome, whether it worked or not.

hi mohammad

I installed new kernels but when i want to mount my NTFS usb flash i have this error:

"No such file or Directory"

for fat32 its okey.:D
