[Solved] Cannot detect camera with udev, only with HAL.

I have removed HAL as I realize it is being deprecated and HAL also created issues with frequent 2-3 second HDD access. I have managed to get udev and pcmanfm to detect and mount pen drives using the udev wiki and new rules.
However, my digital camera is not detected, nor even assigned a device name (unless I use HAL).
Output from "tail -f /var/log/messages.log" after insertion of camera:
Jul 31 15:49:02 eagle kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9
Note udev does NOT assign even a device name. The camera is also not detected via "lsusb". Therefore, without a device name I cannot use:
# udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n [device name])
to even begin writing udev rules.
EDIT and PS: I have copied the /lib/gphoto ruleset file to /etc/udev/rules.d and restarted udev to no effect as well.
EDIT(2): This problem is now "partly" solved. I can detect the camera using "gphoto2" command line, but only as root, so the problem appears to be a udev permission problem, which for some reason HAL did not have.
EDIT(3): Added myself to "camera" group, copied permissions line to libgphoto rules in /etc/udev/rules.d as per camera wiki and problem solved.
It seems that changing over to udev at the moment is not exactly straight forward. I still cannot get automounting of CDROM drive either - but will get there eventually. (I hope udev becomes more user friendly than HAL, because at the moment HAL wins on that front!).

[SOLVED]Cannot detect battery or power supply before a power event

The system cannot detect my battery (or AC adapter) since boot, and before a power event
like the following: (the acpi command provides no output)
$ acpi
After I do one of the below
1. plug in AC adapter
2. remove AC adapter
3. cover my screen and uncover my screen
4. drain my battery to low power (probably 15% or 20%)
The system can detect my battery/AC
like the following:
$ acpi
Battery 0: Charging, 61%, 01:18:24 until charged
$ acpi
Battery 0: Discharging, 61%, 05:17:15 remaining
Is this a bug or solved issue?
or should I update my bios?
NOTE: This issue does not exist in Windows (8.1), on the same machine
The laptop is Dell Inspiron 14 7437, without touchscreen

I'm glad I could help!
To complete the answer on whether it's a bug or not, it has to do with your BIOS expecting Windows rather than Linux. So you need to tell it that Linux is running and without the parameter, the kernel will return false if asked whether Linux is running. This causes some features to just simply not work.
If adding that parameter makes the screen's backlight to not work, you may want to add "acpi_backlight=vendor" to it also, but it actually caused my computer to not boot and seemed to not make a difference (probably should have mentioned that).

Jumpy scrowl control with mouse.Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer. Problem fixed when I updated to 6. 0.2 but problems returned after about a week.. 0.2

Jumpy scroll wheel control with mouse. Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer.Even pushing the scroll wheel and trying to adjust for a smooth easy scroll the text stops and starts. Problem fixed itself when I updated to 6. 0.2 from an older version but the problem returned after about a week.. The problems go away when I go to web site and scroll but is back when I return to my home page (mozilla firefox)

Good post, and glad to hear you had a solid transition. Mine went well too, though I think I beat the rush.
It's worth noting that the vast and overwhelming majority of headaches people were experiencing were related to download and activation servers (as well as credit check servers for some mobile carriers) being crushed and overwhelmed.
To give you an idea of just how crushed, here are some numbers. In the last year, something in the neighborhood of 8 million iPhones have been sold. That's just shy of 22,000 per day. So the typical traffic is around 22,000 times a day, someone is hitting the server for update/activation.
This weekend, Apple sold 1 million iPhones. In other words, 333,333 phones per day. Holy crap!
As if that wasn't enough, there are 8 million of us out there with the first generation iPhone. Not only do we need to download the new firmware, but we have to install it. The installation process requires hitting the activation server again, to validate the phone. Mind you, not everybody upgraded this weekend, but a few million did. For the sake of argument, we'll assume that's 1 million a day. So, instead of the normall traffic of 22K phones a day, those activation servers got SLAMMED with 1.33 million activations per day.
It ***** that some people had delays and hiccups and a hard time and everything, but completely understandable. With luck things will run more smoothly from here on out.

[SOLVED]cannot share folder in home directory with SAMBA

My problem is relatively small as I can use a workaround but I would like to be able to discern whether or not my troubles stem from a bug or my own incompetence.
Basically it seems I can share just about anything I want EXCEPT for a file or folder in my home directory. I have two primary users on my box, root & dunce, and what I am unable to do is share "/home/dunce/shared". I've tried quite a few different configs based on what I could find online but nothing works. Initially I followed the SAMBA instrucions on the Arch Wiki and that was fine for other items I wanted to share. I feel like I'm kinda' makin' a mountain out of a molehill here but I would really like to understand WHY I can't share from "/home/dunce/shared". I really don't think it's a problem in smb.conf but then again . . . Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

The option browseable if not defined is per default set to yes.
Excerpt from The definitive guide to samba 3
browseable: This parameter determines whether a share appears in browse lists on clients. The default value of YES causes a share to appear and is usually appropriate. You can hide a share by setting this parameter to NO; however, be aware that this setting doesn't make a share unavailable, only hidden from casual browsing.
Another thing I stumbled upon is that samba can get confused if security=share is used. It will try different usernames until it finds one that can be used, or will deny access if none can be used. The following list is the order it tries to access the share:
Guest, Client provided username, Prior login, Share name, Client name, User list (if defined).
You can try to set
guest ok = yes
and see if that changes the behaviour. You will need
guest account = nobody
or something similar in you global configuration to make this work.
Whatever user you set as guest need to exist in the samba database. And must be a existing linux username as well.
Another option is to set the guest account in the share definition and only allow guest access.
[share]
path = /home/dunce/sharefolder
browseable = yes
writable = yes
guest account = dunce
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
Again the username (dunce) need to exist in the samba database. Depending on your setup this can be set with the command pdbedit.
There is a samba book available online from O'Reilly. It is a bit dated, but the info on shares should still be valid. I think chapter 6 is especially interesting for you in your scenario.

Cannot open Camera Raw in Bridge with 5D Mark II files

Just bought a Canon 5D Mark II and Adobe Photoshop CS4 - no experience with Adobe so far. Neither Photoshop nor Bridge opened raw files initially.
After copying Camera Raw 5.3 manually into the (Windows) Photoshop "File format" I can now open RAW files in Photoshop (the automatic Adobe update program reported errors at installation and did not work) but NOT in Bridge. Maybe the 5.3 plug-in needs to be placed elsewhere - anyhelp on that for windows application would be great.
When opening my raw files in Bridge, the automatic DNG conversion did also not work.
My issue is that I don't know how to see and work on raw images in Bridge with the Bridge command "File/open in camera raw" also not working. I was reading about the same issue in another forums and also in this space but after hours of trial and error and testing all the published wisdom I got stuck now. I am very keen to learn from the experts. Thanks in advance for support.

Hello, and welcome to the forum, Ludwig.
It seems that you missed both the readme ( http://www.adobe.com/special/photoshop/camera_raw/Camera_Raw_5.3_ReadMe.pdf ), or the detailed instructions on the bottom on the very page where you downloaded the update: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4365
The correct location is: Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats . You will need to remove the other copy from the Photoshop tree.
Please post this information on the other forums where you also saw unresponded questions on the same topic, so that you can help others!

Cannot access gmail with firefox only with windows explorer

Just installed Firefox on new computer and when going to google web site I cannot access my gmail. I get the message "not a valid gmail address". I can go to google with windows explorwer and there I can get access to my gmail.

Hi,
You can try to access Gmail without the Gmail labs feature and see if the problem goes away: https://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=0
If it works then perhaps a labs feature is problem.

Also, try accessing after clearing the cache: '''Ctrl''' + '''Shift''' + '''Del''' or '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Clear Recent History''', choose '''Everything''' in '''Time range to clear''' and '''Cache''' in '''Details'''.

[solved]Cannot detect SD card after update

Hello all,
I frequently mount an SD card using:
$ sudo mount -t vfat -o uid=me,gid=users /dev/sdd1 /media/SD
However, after my latest pacman -Syu, my SD card isn't being detected by fdisk -l.
I tried hooking up an external USB SD card reader, but the result was exactly the same.
I'm terribly sorry that I don't have any idea what broke it (udisks perhaps?)
I'm using 2.6.33-ARCH, and Openbox. The SD card is a Kingston 4 GB SD HC that has always worked in the past and can still be detected on my uIEC/SD device.
Does anybody know how I can fix this?
EDIT: Today's update seems to have fixed the problem (ntfs-3g perhaps?).

CK727 -Lot size cannot be passed on in combination with mixed costing

I get below error.
We have KMAT materials and scenario is Non Valuated Sales Order Stock.
in our PPC4 - we have below settings. (Both are SAP recommended)
Qty Structure tab we have Pass on Lot size "1" with individual requirements (must of Non Valuated Sales) and
Transfer Control "PC03" has "Current Std Cost" with "Transfer only with Collective requirements"
I just created a mixed cost qty structure. In it I even added Costing type "01". Sales order costing type is "18".
Mixed costing works as expected. However we are unable to create any Sales Orders.
Lot size cannot be passed on in combination with mixed costing
Message no. CK727
Diagnosis
For costing variant PPC4 and costing version 01, it was defined in Customizing that a mixed cost estimate should be created for quantity structure category M0001. At the same time, it was defined in the costing variant that the Pass_on_lot_size function should be active.
System Response
Mixed costing cannot be carried out simultaneously with Pass on lot size . Costing cannot be proceeded with.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Kala,
system's response is correct
In the standard program the combination of mixed costing and
simultaneously pass on lot size is not possible.
Please review SAP Notes 402440, 584420 and 749128 .
In particular the SAP Note 402440 describes the determination of the
costing lot size at a mixed costing in detail.

Rename group of interfaces with udev

Hello!
I was wandering how I could achieve the following with udev or with the help of some other tool:
* Match an interface (used for wan) and rename it to WAN (DONE)
* Match All the rest of the interfaces and rename them as LAN1, LAN2 ... LANn.
The thing is that I want to be able to add an Ethernet card in the future and not have to worry about it's name.
Thanks in advance

Download Renamer4Mac or BatchRename'em 1.1 from VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
