I am trying to install a USB dongle under SuSE 10.1 using from HDD_181_linux.tar.gz When I do I get the following error message, # ./dinst /usr/local/flexpde/HDD_Linux_dinst --------------------------------------- Copy AKSUSB daemon to /usr/sbin ... Copy AKSUSB daemon startup script to /etc/init.d Setting up to autostart AKSUSB daemon removing existing link /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S90aksusbd create symbolic link `S90aksusbd' to `/etc/init.d/aksusbd' Trying to start AKSUSB daemon ... Starting AKSUSB daemon/usr/sbin/aksusbd: no parallel key driver and no usbdevfs found: aborting failed Done --------------------------------------- It seems like there is no usbdevfs as when I run cat /proc/filesystem I get the following output. nodev sysfs nodev rootfs nodev bdev nodev proc nodev cpuset nodev debugfs nodev securityfs nodev sockfs nodev pipefs nodev futexfs nodev tmpfs nodev inotifyfs nodev eventpollfs nodev devpts ext2 nodev ramfs nodev hugetlbfs minix iso9660 nodev mqueue reiserfs nodev usbfs nodev autofs vfat Has anybody any ideas. | ||

Aladdin has done a really poor job with the Linux installation package. Absolutely no instructions. I don't know what the error means, but I get the same thing on SuSe 10.1. I have written to Aladdin requesting clarification. | ||

Aladdin sent me the following instructions: ------------------------------ Download HDD_RPM_SuSE_i386.tar.gz file from the support site. http://www.aladdin.com/support/hasp/vendor.asp#latestDD Uncompress the file. Run "mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb/" from the terminal. Run "rpm -i aksusbd-suse-1.8.1-3.i386.rpm" Plug in the hasp key. --------------------------- This worked on our SuSe 10.1 system. The only remaining mystery is why Aladdin doesn't include these instructions with the driver..... | ||

I have just ungraded to Suse 10.2 and am trying to install the dongle on that system. I can't mount the usbfs on 10.2 as it does /proc/bus/usb does not exist and neither does the filesystem. The output from cat /proc/filesystems is shown below > cat /proc/filesystems nodev sysfs nodev rootfs nodev bdev nodev proc nodev cpuset nodev debugfs nodev securityfs nodev sockfs nodev pipefs nodev futexfs nodev tmpfs nodev inotifyfs nodev eventpollfs nodev devpts nodev ramfs nodev hugetlbfs minix iso9660 nodev mqueue reiserfs nodev autofs nodev rpc_pipefs nodev nfs nodev nfs4 Any ideas how I can proceed. | ||

We are not Linux gurus, and we have not yet installed Suse 10.2 on any of our machines. So we can't comment meaningfully on the problem. We will contact Aladdin and see if there are known problems with 10.2. | ||

Aladdin reports that Suse 10.2 is not yet supported. | ||

I have found a work around to get FlexPDE working under Suse 10.2. It involves rebuilding the kernel and including the usbfs module into it. I followed the intructions given in the Suse Administration guide (I used the 9.2 administration guide p 207 - 212 and it worked). I will give a brief outline of the steps I used. firstly login as root cd /usr/src/linux zcat /proc/config.gz > .config make oldconfig {template for current configuration} comment: make menuconfig {comment: this requires certain packages, error messages will appear if you dont have them, install them from your disk and try this step again, then include the USB file system, it is under Device Drivers --> USB Support --> USB device filesystem} make clean make bzImage make modules INSTALL_PATH=/boot make install make modules_install cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot you are finished, you can clean things up by running make clean You will have another item in your GRUB bootloader which is the new kernel. Once logged in you can follow the instructions above from June 01, 2006 - 06:57 pm and hopefully FlexPDE will work. |
