Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

I wonder why there is a "permission denied" when trying to create a folder or copy anything to the USB stick attached via hen ??

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

I'm rather sure that's unrelated to h-e-n and especially to physical hostmode.
I don't even see how to copy or create folders with h-e-n GUI. Please check post #9! Thanks

When you uninstall the application and restart, my n900 and it did not work, only saw the Nokia logo and white background, and re-boot.
I had to reinstall with flasher ...


sudo flasher-3.5-F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin-f

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

I'm not sure how you uninstalled it, but that would never happen when uninstaling h-e-n alone, you probably removed kernel-power and just had to reflash the kernel, not the whole image.

titan, seriously, add system-update and reboot to the package flags, they help a lot.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

"the application" ?
uninstalling h-e-n hostmode GUI for sure shall not cause any problems with boot.
h-e-n however rdepends on a feature that's provided e.g by kernel-power, which means you need to install kernel-power to be able to install h-e-n.
*)
Kernel-power is a linux kernel and uninstalling it obviously will leave your system in a broken state. Please refer to kernel-power howto, readme, FAQ, threads in this forum, etc. Basically "uninstalling" kernel-pwer means you are going to install the stock kernel. Never UNINSTALL a kernel!

This isn't related to h-e-n though


*) [edit] Depending on method to install hostmode GUI, this installation of kernel-power may happen automatically, and I heard a few minutes ago that fapman might also do a BAD thing and try to uninstall the kernel automatically on uninstalling hostmode GUI.
My take on this is: I introduced kernel hostmode API version, so GUI can check at runtime if the kernel has h-e-n patches or not. So I think the already implemented check for this version in hostmode GUI is sufficient and we should NOT rdepend on kernel-feature-hostmode. This would result in users getting a notifier "no compatible kernel found. Please install kernel-power!" (OWTTE) when starting h-e-n hostmode GUI.

Mohammad kinda disagrees on that, and has concerns about users getting even more confused if kernel-power doesn't get auto-installed on installing GUI.
So maybe it's up to you, users of h-e-n, to state clearly what you prefer.

Maybe a bit of read-learn-post is in order...

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

I kinda do not mind either way,.

But would not prefer to get another (even better) engine installed in my BMW on servicing e.g. winter tires or bulb replacement.

No seriously, h-e-n is a very special app, so a little knowledge about system, especially kernel and power kernel, should be present.
Installation order of power-kernel and then h-e-n is sufficient, right?

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

I need Your help! KernelPower 2.6.28.10power46 and later h-e-n were successfully installed. Nokia CA101 cable and female-to-female USB adapter used to connect flash drive. But on running h-e-n it seems that hostmode is enabled, flash device attached but not mounted because of the errors which I do not understand. I don't know, maybe I had to do something manually exept the aboveinstallation procedures? Here I give ending part of the dump of Kernel Messages (because the full one is too long). Suppose You shall know the answer after taking a look on it. The full text You can find in the attached file.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

Can't see any problems, just mount it.

Have "open in file manager" unticked, will fix soon.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

Thank You for the help. I am the beginner in LINUX, but now the flash drive is visible! Please tell me, whether it's possible to connect the printer via USB in order to print out from OpenOffice ?
If it is, le me know where to search for further information.
