This can only be achieved by removing the symlinks in the runlevel directories - that's exactly what my command does ;-)

Re: Release notes for Excito Bubba 2&3 software version 2.5.

Same problem here, easyfind is spamming the logs. Even worse this results in HD not spinning down anymore.
As I don't need that service now and in future, my final solution:

Code: Select all

update-rc.d -f bubba-easyfind remove
and now all is quiet as before.

Best regards,
Ingo

Also when I try to print a test page from CUPS, I'm asked for credentials, but I have no idea what they might be.

It's Linux: Be root!!! (details find somewhere in the manual).

Re: Release notes for Excito Bubba 2&3 software version 2.4.

Great,

Code: Select all

CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
is now also enabled in the 2.6.39.4-11 kernel, so apcupsd is also supported.

Many thanks,

Re: Release notes for Excito Bubba 2&3 software version 2.4.

Actually we don't have any public detailed changelogs but we are working on a new issue tracker that will be partly public, where this kind of stuff will be available. We are also opening up our git repo soon to allow people to follow us better. I'll have to get back on this when we are done. Thank...

Re: Release notes for Excito Bubba 2&3 software version 2.4.

Yes, on the first post of this thread, plus the same post for 2.4.1 (see the headline about features and major changes). The first post of this thread only mentiones: * Minor fix in the disk manager software, causing some systems to fail to reboot after creating RAID Is that really all with regard ...

Is there any changelog available for the 2.4.1.1 for the B3 (compared to 2.4)?

Re: Release notes for Excito Bubba 2&3 software version 2.4.

The upgrade went smoothly, but sadly the promised APC-UPS support has not been enabled in the kernel for B3: ccat /boot/config-2.6.39.4-9 | grep -i -b4 -a2 hiddev 50531-CONFIG_USB_HID=y 50548-# [b]CONFIG_HID_PID is not set[/b] 50576:# CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV is not set 50607- 50608-# Will we get a new ker...

Re: Finding out what's using disk

Here another useful hint, how to find out which files are accessed on the disk preventing spindown or causing spin-up. Use a great kernel feature: inotify ! Just install 'inotify-tools' and start the monitoring in background for a suspicious directory and all files it contains with this command: ino...

Re: Finding out what's using disk

Just an additional information for those not so familiar with "hdparm": In all tests above I have set the spin-down delay manually by executing something like hdparm -S <number> /dev/sda However the WD HD appearently does not care for the <number> you specify for the idöle-delay and instea...

Re: Kernel config for UPS support

Tested on the new B2 2.4.1 image as well, and it works just fine. No need to change any udev rules, etc. This is out of the box, only modified apcups.conf For those not familiar with apcupsd, please also edit and set: /etc/default/apcupsd ISCONFIGURED=no -> yes otherwise the daemon won't start.

Another thing to check (either in messages or dmesg): Look for these lines: usbcore: registered new interface driver hiddev and shortly afterwards: generic-usb 0003:051D:0002.0001: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.10 Device [American Power Conversion Back-UPS CS 650 FW:817.v4.I USB FW:v4] on usb-0000:00:...

Re: Release notes for Excito Bubba 2 software version 2.4.1

aardric, I cannot test yet whether it works on B3 because the firmware with the HIDDEV enabled kernel is still not released. I got Debian-Squeeze-amd64 here on my PC attached to an APC UPS via USB-cable. What I can see here is that the correspondig device node is: /dev/usb/hiddev0 and the udev-rule ...

Kernel config for UPS support

I just checked the kernel-config for 2.6.39.4-9 on B2 and found that

Code: Select all

# USB Input Devices
#
CONFIG_USB_HID=m
# CONFIG_HID_PID is not set
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
HIDDEV is set now, which means that it can handle APC UPS'.

When do we get the same kernel configuration for B3?

With kind regards,
Ingo
