Linux RH 6.2 & Edaq - driver

Linux RH 6.2 & Edaq - driver
Few experiences Edaq for Linux installation.
- NationaI Instruments ftp area has latest
driver version 0.9.4
- edaq-0.9.4 turns (make gives some warnings).
- c- test programs ok (my card is 6025e).
- Labview for Linux 5.1 stops when the test
VI-program starts
I got however card operate like this:
I copied file /usr/lib/libedaq.so same
directory name /usr/lib/libnidaq.so
(some reason Labview VI's use this libnidaq.so file)
- after this Labview test programs operate
(fixed disk works much when running VI's?!)
- when starting Linux there comes the module depancies
error but programs operate however.
- has anyone same experiences from the installation
of the edaq-driver?
- have anyone find ot
her solutions?
[See first answer for additional information]

I'm following up to myself as a summary for the archives.

A symbolic link is a cleaner solution:
root@box:somedir # ln -s /usr/lib/libedaq.so /usr/lib/libnidaq.so
To get DIO to work you need to symlink (see above) /dev/nidio[0..x] to
/dev/edio[0..x]. Otherwise you get an "error -1" with no further
description. Devices are released after all VI's are closed. A better
solution for this minor issue is to release after each VI run.
It's even possible to get compatibility to DAQ with Windows. Stick to
the VI's that are available on both platforms (Most of their names
don't start with Linux...). Labview finds the VI's when the ni.llb
supplied with the driver is copied to the labview search path
(e. g. to the /usr/local/lv51/user.lib/ directory).
Don't include the ni.llb in the application directory tree. In that
case LV is too dumb: it loads a VI with the correct name but
probably from the wrong OS. This results in non-executable VI's. A
variation of this theme is "Save with Options / Include .llb files".
It looks like edaq 0.9.4 was released in the middle of a transition
between different library names and different device names. Most of
the .c files and some VI's lack commentary.
When these issues are resolved the driver is ready to be version
1.0.0. What about the Linux support for LV 6i? Is there official
support? What about DAQ?

You can change the Makefile in the driver subdirectory to remove
debugging messages.

  • Map linux shared folders to Z drive in Windows Client. Unable to login through Samba Server

    Hi,
    I am trying to map my linux machine to a network drive Z in Windows 7 . I added user guid in smbusers and created a password for this user through smbpasswd . Started Samba server on linuc, but when trying to create a network drive, it is asking for the login. I used credentials as GUID/<CREATEDPWD> . Not able to login with these credentials. Am I missing something. My Domain is ORADEV. I attached related files smb.conf,lmhosts,smbusers  files. Please let me know if i am not configuring samba server correctly.

    Hi,
    To clarify a couple of things:
    1- "reverse-route" does not have anything to do with this issue, the problem relies on the Windows 7 machine.
    2- Do you connect with an Admin account (Windows admin)?
    3- Do you run the VPN client as an administrator?
    4- Have you tried to disable any AV or software protection on the machine (just for testing).?
    Let me know.
    Portu.
    Please rate any helpul posts

  • If it is possible to install linux on a external hard drive?

    If it is possible to install linux on a external hard drive, which can be boot from the my MacBook Pro? the reason I didn't try it is beacause that I don't know what it will do to my internal mac os x 10.5? Will it mess up my boot to my leopard?

    it's possible, but difficult. i'm in the middle of trying to get this to work on my MacBook, but not there yet. The best resource i've found is here:
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510030
    from what i've learned so far, in order to be able to boot linux on an external drive, the actual /boot partition must be on your internal drive. osx leaves a small (~130MB) partition unused, which can be used for this.
    i think it would be easier to run on a partition of the internal drive, but now that i've started trying the external setup, i really want to make it work.

  • Nigpib-linux-0.6 GPIB software driver for Linux and PXI GPIB board

    Thanks.

    If you alter the device ID of the device from c801 to c821 within the driver module, you should be able to use the driver with the PXI board.

  • Anyway to boot Linux from an external Firewire drive?

    So, my bootcamp partition is in use by Windows, and I'm interested in trying out linux (ubuntu in particular), what I want to know is 'Is it possible to boot off an external drive?' and if so, how would I go about doing it? Also, how would I partition my drive so that the majority of it is free storage/backup space for my Mac OS and the lesser amount is a bootable partition for linux to run off of. Thanks!

    That may have been the only combination of search terms I didn't try. But still, I figured I'd try the Apple Discussions, as they're generally full of knowledgeable people, and did not want to try this on my own for fear of screwing up my computer.

  • DG4ODBC (11.2 g) on LINUX 64bit using FreeTDS ODBC Driver Manager

    Hi,
    I got a problem to connect via dg4odbc using usind database link. Below I've listed all my configuration files + dg4odbc trace output.
    This is what I've already done:
    1. Configured FreeTDS with odbc (see below)
    2. I did some test using odbc.ini using isql,tsql and all were succeed :)
    3. Configured three files initMSSQL.ora, listener and tnsnames
    4. tnsping tns_entry also was succeed (HS=OK)
    But when I created public dblink (CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK hslink CONNECT TO "dbuser" IDENTIFIED BY "dbpassword" using 'my_tns entry') i cannot use it becouse it shows me errors listed in dg4odbc file.
    Please see my configuration and help me tu figure out what I could done wrong or missmatch something !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Linux-libre kernel + b43 wifi driver

    I decided to try the linux-libre kernel from AUR, and I ran into an issue with the b43 driver. My card is supported by the b43 driver, I have been using it without any issues on the vanilla kernel, but the linux-libre kernel hiccups with the firmware.
    When I try to do something with my wifi card under linux-libre, it complains that it can't find "b43-open/unicode15.fw". I decided to copy said file from "/lib/firmware/b43/" to "/lib/firmware/b43-open/", but it complained that the firmware was proprietary. After doing a bit of research on Google, I came across several pages that I needed to use b43-tools and the openfwwf firmware. This combination gives me a 'unicode5.fw', not a 'unicode15.fw' (note that one is a 5, and the other is a 15, linux-libre asks for 15). I decided to try to copy it over anyway, without changing the name, and removed the proprietary file (unicode15.fw) from "/lib/firmware/b43-open/", but it went back to asking for "b43-open/unicode15.fw".
    I did unload/reload the b43 driver after each firmware file move (modprobe -rv b43 && sleep 5 && modprobe -v b43). What I did not try was renaming 'unicode5.fw' to 'unicode15.fw', I didn't think that made any sense to try, since obviously they could be quite different and might cause problems.
    I have not been able to find any other suggestions on Google, so if anybody has any suggestions, please let me know.
    BTW, here's the lspci entry for my card (again, it works fine under vanilla kernel) (hopefully this forum supports code blocks, I don't see any buttons for it):
    02:00.0 Network Controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)

    You have a Broadcom card of core_rev 15 and you would need a ucode15.asm to build ucode15.fw binary. Unfortunately, it seems openfwwf project has been able to reverse engineer just revision 5 of these cards (ucode5.asm).
    Please note s/unicode/ucode. ucode = microcode. Unicode doesn't make sense in this context.

  • Making Linux to see the logical drive

    Hi all,
    I have a basic question about configuring StorEdge 3320 arrays. I have managed to create a logical drive, now to mount this drive, I need to make linux know about it. I don't know how to tell Linux to rescan and discover all the available drives (I would prefer if it does not involve rebooting). I can currently see devices
    /dev/sdc and /dec/sdd
    But neither of them are readable by fdisk (it says, unable to open). I am running RHEL5.
    thanks
    Nilesh

    In kernel 2.4 there were ways how to rescan the bus, unfortunately kernel 2.6 doesn't have it. I know that both Qlogic and Emulex provide scrips for rescaning the bus without need to reboot the box or unload and load back the driver.
    Rgs,

  • Is there DAQ driver for MAC or Linux

    Hi Alex,
    Lynn is correct. For using NI's USB DAQ hardware with Mac and Linux, the best and only driver to use is NI-DAQmx Base. The readme file lists what specific devices are supported, which specific Linux and OS X versions are supported, and which hardware features are supported.

  • Linux driver for Dynadock PA3575E-1PRP

    Toshiba doesnt offer support for Linux so on official Toshiba download page you will not find any Linux driver for it.

  • ITunes keep crashing - 8GB of mp3s in 1935 files, networked hard drive

    So I have 8GB of music in 1935 files and 209 folders, and they are on my Linux box (which shares the drive out through Samba).
    The mp3s themselves are haphazardly put into folders, with some of them having some information about composers and other tags, and some of them, nothing.
    I tried to import all of them into my iTunes to load them onto my iPod, and all it does is crash iTunes.
    Any suggestions ?

    Not really an iPod touch question, per se, but its possible that the headers on the problem tracks may be corrupted or nonstandard. This can happen with some MP3 conversion or import utilities, and iTunes is very picky about headers. If you search the web for "mp3 repair" you'll find a number of repair tools. Here are a couple I've seen mentioned:
    MP3 Validator
    VBRfix
    I haven't tried any of the versions of either, so I can't attest to how well (or indeed if) they work.
    Hope this helps. If not, I'd suggest you take up the question in the iTunes for Windows - Importing forum.
    Regards.

  • Cannot boot into Windows XP, should I replace hard drive?

    THE PROBLEM: I have not been able to boot into or use Windows XP (SP2) for almost 3 years. I have been using Linux instead for 3 years and am using it now. The Windows Recovery process only half works, it works up until you have to boot up the computer from the hard drive. Then it no longer works. The computer will load the files from the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD that came new with the computer onto the hard drive. But when you get to the point of booting off the hard drive, with newly added Windows & Toshiba files, nothing happens. It does not boot up into Windows XP. In fact I can see the newly added Windows & Toshiba fileson the hard drive when I boot into Linux (Live) off the hard drive.
    THE HARD DRIVE (Specs below): I ran a SMART Data check using a Linux (Ubuntu) Disk utility on the hard drive and it passed everything except for Reallocated Sector Count. There are 20 bad sectors. I called the Toshiba 800 # on the DVD and they told me that the problem may be the hard drive. A new TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD costs $40. Toshiba also said there is no Windows XP Recovery Console on the DVD. 
    CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM: I think, and TOSHIBA agreed it is either the hard drive or corrupteD files on the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD
    POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: I have found a couple of sites that seem to have instructions for making a  Windows XP Recovery Console CD. And I have thought I might try to run some Windows XP Recovery Console commands  from such a CD, such as fixboot, fixmbr, etc. The try to see if I can boot into Windows XP from the hard drive. If I can, then that might suggest he problem is corrupted files on the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD. If I still cannot boot into Windows, then maybe I should replace the hard drive. This should be very easy to do.
    QUESTION(S): Does anybody have any comments or suggestions? Does my approach sound good? Do you have any other suggestions?
    I have a TOSHIBA Satellite L25 S1216 that I bought new in early 2006. It has a 40 GB (5400 RPM) Enhanced IDE (ATA-6) 9.5 mm height hard disk drive in it. User removable, i.e., it is easy to replace.
    Thank you,
    Bob
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    My plan is to try to use the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD to load the WIndows XP files onto the hard drive, then use the Windows XP Recovery console CD I downloaded from here
    http://www.proposedsolution.com/downloads/download​-windows-recovery-console/ 
    by using commmands such as fxmbr, fixboot, etc to see if I can get the computer to boot up into Windows XP.
    Good plan, Bob!
       Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console for advanced users
    A backup plan would be to obtain a Windows XP installation CD from eBay or wherever. They are super cheap now. Then you could install Windows clean and add the drivers and utilities from the website here. Or you could use it to repair-install Windows.
       How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install
    You are entitled to activate Home Edition for free. I understand that even after Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP (in April), they will honor activation attempts.
    I wouldn't mess with SSDs. And stick with IDE PATA drives. You won't need to worry about advanced-format technology since that didn't come along until the very recent SATA drives. Your BIOS should support 120GB (KB303013).  Some here.

  • [SOLVED] Arch won't mount my hard drives correctly, problems at boot.

    Sometimes (only sometimes) Arch Linux will have an error during bootup because my Linux drive gets mounted as sdb instead of sda. My NTFS Sata storage drives gets mounted in its place as sda.
    When this happens, Arch Linux will stop booting at the "checking filesystems" step:
    :: Checking Filesystems [BUSY]
    /dev/sda3:
    The superblock could not be read or does not describe a corect ext2
    filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
    filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
    is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
    [FAIL]
    **************** FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED ****************
    * Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root *
    * file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount *
    * it read-write type: mount -n -o remount,rw / *
    * When you exit the maintenance shell the system will *
    * reboot automatically. *
    Give root password for maintenance
    (or type Control-D to continue):
    And from there i have to remount my drives manually or restart the computer. Everytime I start the computer, I simply have to hope that my Linux drive will mount as sda. It's totally hit and miss.
    Now, I know that my superblock is not corrupt. fsck is failing because it is looking for my linux filesystem on sda. It is encountering my NTFS Sata drive on sda instead of the expected Linux ext filesystem.
    So how do I know that this is happening?
    Well, after giving the root password, it shows the root prompt
    [root@(none) ~]#
    and i proceed to use the lshw command to see what's up with the drives:
    [root@(none) ~]# lshw -short | grep /dev/
    /0/6/0.0.0 /dev/sdb disk 120GB WDC WD1200JB-00E
    /0/6/0.0.0/1 /dev/sdb1 volume 101MiB Linux filesystem partition
    /0/6/0.0.0/2 /dev/sdb2 volume 258MiB Linux swap volume
    /0/6/0.0.0/3 /dev/sdb3 volume 7506MiB EXT4 volume
    /0/6/0.0.0/4 /dev/sdb4 volume 104GiB EXT4 volume
    /0/6/0.1.0 /dev/sdc disk 81GB Maxtor 6Y080P0
    /0/6/0.1.0/1 /dev/sdc1 volume 76GiB Windows NTFS volume
    /0/8/0.0.0 /dev/sda disk 640GB Hitachi HDT72106
    /0/8/0.0.0/1 /dev/sda1 volume 596GiB Windows NTFS volume
    So, clearly, this shows that my Linux drive has gotten mounted as sdb and my NTFS Sata drive has gottem mounted as sda. It's totally random: sometimes they mount vice versa and the system boots just fine.
    When Arch does happen to mount itself properly as sda and the system starts successfully, then the lshw command shows this:
    [root@(none) ~]# lshw -short | grep /dev/
    /0/6/0.0.0 /dev/sda disk 120GB WDC WD1200JB-00E
    /0/6/0.0.0/1 /dev/sda1 volume 101MiB Linux filesystem partition
    /0/6/0.0.0/2 /dev/sda2 volume 258MiB Linux swap volume
    /0/6/0.0.0/3 /dev/sda3 volume 7506MiB EXT4 volume
    /0/6/0.0.0/4 /dev/sda4 volume 104GiB EXT4 volume
    /0/6/0.1.0 /dev/sdb disk 81GB Maxtor 6Y080P0
    /0/6/0.1.0/1 /dev/sdb1 volume 76GiB Windows NTFS volume
    /0/8/0.0.0 /dev/sdc disk 640GB Hitachi HDT72106
    /0/8/0.0.0/1 /dev/sdc1 volume 596GiB Windows NTFS volume
    The above correctly mounted format shows the drives in the same order as my Hard Disk boot priority in BIOS as well as in the same order as during the initial drive detection directly following the memory test (don't know if it has anything to do with it though).
    So my question is this. How do I ensure that Arch Linux mounts itself as sda ALL of the time, and not randomly?
    Or should I remove my sda entries in etc/fstab and let Arch determine where my Linux filesystems are? If so, how?
    It's interesting to note that GRUB is set to boot Arch Linux from hd0, which should be sda.
    It's also intriguing to note that if I take out my Sata drive, I never encounter this problem.

    Thanks kgas, here's what i found out so far:
    Alright so after rebooting, this is what i determined:
    When Linux mounts the drives incorrectly (take note of the parts in bold, the short numbers are NTFS filesystems, long numbers the Linux filesystems):
    [trusktr@rocketship ~]$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
    total 0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 14 21:08 01CA836D8BE82040 -> ../../[b]sdc1[/b]
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 14 21:08 0ddf0e41-e7e6-4af5-b0e9-bc79a91b12eb -> ../../[b]sdb1[/b]

    So an NTFS filesystem is mounted in sda instead of the Linux filesystem
    When Linux mounts everything properly:
    [trusktr@rocketship ~]$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
    total 0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 14 21:08 01CA836D8BE82040 -> ../../[b]sdb1[/b]

    This doesn't tell us much except that I indeed do have uuid's for all the drives.
    So, i guess as kgas said, i probably need to use the uuid in fstab so that Linux always knows which hard drive is the linux drive! In that case, only the uuid for the Linux drive will be necessary. For the other drives it wouldn't matter so much i guess since they don't contain the operating system.
    Alright, i'll be back to determine if this fixes it!

  • Mac OSX wont reognise my internal hard disk drive

    I have a problem where for some reason when I start up my Macbook Pro (intel core duo) it does not detect the internal hard disk drive at all. I have run a hardware test and it shows no problems whatsoever. I have tried resetting the PRAM etc and to no avail. Yesterday the system hung and I tried to force quit and it wouldn't do anything so eventually I held down the power key and when it tried to reboot this is the problem I was faced with (it would boot up with the "no entry" sign). I accepted complete defeat and went to completely re-install OSX however it doesn't even show the internal hard drive when I wait for it to give me install destinations. I had tried seeing the hard drive through disk utility however it only shows the install DVD and that's it in the sidebar. I resigned myself further to thinking either the logic board or the HDD had packed in all and I took it round to my brother in law to see if there is anything he could do without opening the machine (he is Oxford educated and writes programmes etc so is very knowledgable), now this is the part that has miffed us both, he started it up using a Linux disc and once running, Linux see's the hard drive with no problems. He has been able to access the HDD with absolutely no problems under Linux both reading and writing to it. I even took my Mac Mini round and he booted them both up in Linux and completely copied Mac OSX from the mini to the macbook pro but still when I try booting up its as if the HDD isn't even there. Why can Linux see the drive and not Mac OSX? Please don't be affraid to get very technical in your answers as they may mean nothing to me but will probably all make sense to my brother in Law. Any sugestions at all would be greatly accepted.

    Dear mcdkev,
    You guys may have made a big error cloning the Mini HD into the MBP. They both have very different drivers and hardware settings and their OS X versions are customized to fit the hardware. That is why each mac comes with it's own version of OS X and their backup disks. That's a reason why it did not work.
    Ok, so now that you do not have any of the original info on the MBP try the following:
    Use linux to scan the disk surface & repair any problems.
    Reformat the drive as DOS or FAT 32. (I wouldn't go into any linux specific format unless you can "Apple" format it, which I don't think linux has that option.)
    Now, the MBP should be able to see it's drive...
    boot from the OS X DVD , from the Utilities menu choose Disk Utilities, partition the drive as GUI file system (in case the linux format made the drive a "system boot record", you do not want that... )
    Then format the drive as "OS X Extended Journaled"
    Now go back to install and install your original basic set of OS X (the factory default).
    *If nothing works, please do take your MBP to the Apple store or to a certified tech before you do more damage to the drive and it becomes unusable ...*

  • Is it possible to run an operating system from an external hard drive?

    Really weird question here, but I've always wanted to know this. I have a MBP 13" mid-2012 and I installed a 256GB SSD. I currently have OSX 10.9 and Windows 8.1 installed on the drive, but is it possible to actually run an operating system from an external hard drive. I don't want to install anymore operating systems onto the internal SSD because I don't want to run out of space. So, I'm wondering can I install Linux on an external hard drive, the same way I would on an internal hard drive and just plug it in via USB 3 or Thunderbolt? Is it actually possible to use a computer this way? I know I can boot from a usb stick, so is it possible to actually use a computer with an operating system installed in an external hard drive?

    windows don't support being installed on usb mass storage installs like usb
