Udev automount rules and sd cards

Hi
I use the udev automount rule (the first one) from the arch wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ude … SB_devices
it works fine for usb sticks and it also mounts sd cards in my card reader, but it does not unmount them.
usb sticks are unmounted, sd cards not. both are /dev/sdx devices.
thanks for any help

This
# Get a label if present, otherwise specify one
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}!="", ENV{dir_name}="%E{ID_FS_LABEL}"
ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="", ENV{dir_name}="usbhd-%k"
is "missing" from the udev rules for SD cards. Maybe try removing those lines <shrugs>
Card readers may be tricky. But what is the error anyway? Maybe they're just slower and take more time to sync? How do you know they're not unmounted?

Udev rules and group / permission errors [solved] [outdated]

Latest udev is a miracle to me. It ignores every group ore permission settings. Anyone else having same experiences?

Let's assume that you have two files with udev rules. The basic udev.rules and 00.udev.rules (with custom rules).
Udev first reads all rules from 00 file and then rules from the basic file.
This means that if you have a custom rule for a given device you should copy all rules that apply to it from the basic file to the 00 file (not only lines with GROUP). This is because with OPTIONS="last_rule" udev will stop processing rules for this device.
All rules are read and then applied in the order from the top to bottom except SUBSYTEM which is applied as the last rule (kind of held in a buffer). This is the reason why my cd burner /dev/hdc had permissions for disk group and not optical.
This is my 00.udev.rules (it still needs some cosmetic changes but it works and of course I don't have all the devices):

The problem with /dev/hdc was that first udev (version 057) was reading a rule from my 00 file (BUS="ide", KERNEL="hdc"...) with GROUP=users. Then it was reading SUBSYSTEM="block", GROUP="disk" rule from the basic file (but it wasn't executed at that time). And then it was reading BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd[a-z]", SYSFS{removable}="1"... with GROUP=optical. Then it was executing SUBSYTEM rule (hdc is a block device). That's why only disk group had an access to /dev/hdc (with OPTIONS="last_rule" in the basic file in the GROUP="optical" line it would ignore SUBSYSTEM rule).
There are also other rules that you should add (IMO) to your custom rules if you are changing something. In my case it's for example BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/cdsymlinks.sh %k"... which creates symlinks for cd drives. This rule must be above other rules (the number of the symlinks is now unlimited - previously it was 5 IIRC).
So now the rules are mixed together in the lexical order (except SUBSYTEM rules which are executed at the end) unless OPTIONS="last_rule" is used or second (and other) rule has a NAME filed (only one rule for a given device can have NAME filed. Every other rule for the same device with NAME field is ignored IIRC). It also means you can now split rules for a device into several rules - only one of them can have NAME filed and the last should have OPTIONS="last_rule".
Since in your case you have custom rules only for a well defined usb devices (not /dev/sd*) IMO it should work as you think (only add OPTIONS="last_rule").
I hope it's now perfectly clear 8)

ATI and Nvidia cards together?

Is it possible to run an Nvidia card with an ATI card simultaneously? I have a 2007 mac pro with the stock 7300gt. I need another graphics card for a third monitor and would like to purchase the new ATI 3870. Does anyone here have an Nvidia and ATI card running together? Are there any issues? Thanks.

Hi Ashuta,
With respect, I think you confused it. I replied to dualrecto's question. As I didn't want to assume what he meant, I took the opportunity to answer to it in relation to both OS X and Windows. His question concerned the 7300 and the 3870, not the latter and 8800.
I haven't seen any info that the 8800 and the 3870 could run together in OS X. However, as was written in the Macnn post that I linked to in the second of the two Apple Discussions links you included, the "no-mixing of video card rule" apparently doesn't apply to the newer Mac Pros. Since the ATi 2600 and the nVidia 7300 work simultaneously under OS X perhaps the 8800 and the 3870 will also work under OS X (and saying that, perhaps it will be possible to run also the combo dualrecto is seeking).
Whether you should switch to the 3870: I guess it depends on what you want to use the cards for. The 8800 is superior in 3D rendering provided the application can take advantage of it's OpenGL functions. Which is why it does well as a gaming card. If not, it seems the 3870 is a better bet: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/Graphics/ATI3870_Mac_PC_review/radeonhd3870review.html.
Good luck!

Discussion on the psychological quality and skill card game

Three dozen ha card game originated in Hunan, and then gradually spread to all parts of the country. Three dozen of HA with Changsha words three playing a Habbo, other local general called the three play, the game is similar to the two deck upgrade. The difference lies in that upgrading is playing on, and three HA is involved in all four biddable, to make to the highest points so far no one by the name of mark, and the highest score by calling cards, cards are called, the other three person leisure family, family three people playing catch by idle, so called the three dozen ha ( three a ).
I play three games from two to 00, six years, has been five years, although the time is not long, but time flies., imperceptibly spent five years. In order to promote and popularize three dozen ha card game, www.liqunqipai.net has grown three dozen ha Games team, let more like three dozen ha card game friend master some basic skills, to achieve knowledge sharing, technology exchange, learn from each other, common purpose to improve, I will combine their three play, play card game real on the three play, play, game psychological qualities and skills, I only play a role, but the students surpass the teacher. Look, and blue.
One, play cards to keep good state of mind, must not be happy playing cards
In the first game before holding a learning mentality, take the length of others, fill oneself short, so as to constantly improve their technical level.
Why do some people play playing cards for years three, technical level not long Jin? This is what causes it? There are two possible reasons : the first is the arrogant, always feel that I was a veteran, which have as novice. Always hold me veteran game player, his mind is often play cards to win, chaos random grab playing, if win good blame everyone and everything but not oneself, lost. Even individual game player when the mouth is not clean. So, his technical level always mark time, technological level has always been difficult to raise. Second reasons: some game player to play a few the implicit, didn't want to improve technology. The game player regardless of the hand is good, but often put the card points is very high, don't let you play cards, all take a license plate, no surrender. The game 's level of technology will never high.
Why do some game player to play three playing card is not a long time, but played well? I think the main factors are: the playing cards, academic and aspirant, be good at summing up, progress quickly. However, such people are often a good attitude, winning no cards, the purpose I come to everybody study, go on a pilgrimage for Buddhist scriptures, but also in the cards is also very modest, play, thinking and thinking, not HERSHEY'S not just random grab playing. Therefore, the good state of mind, often catch up from behind. At the same time, if you follow some master cards, are generally very carefully, not barking licensing and licensing.
In two, playing cards to play technology skills to think more
To play well in three dozen ha card game is easy, as long as the master rules do not one or two hours to learn. However, to really play three dozen ha card game is not an easy thing, more than one day. This requires long-term practice, repeatedly thinking, serious summary. I will now play in three playing cards, in practice, have experience greatly is to grasp the "two guan ":
It should be a good grasp of the bid. I want a game of cards. Quality is the key. We must first look at the hands of the brand? If the hands of the trumps have more than two pairs, and often the main can also, vice licensing generally have larger dyad, or have a small drag words, this card you can bold play. If the hand 's two or three pair cards, often not much, vice licensing neither point card, and no two pairs, if rob playing, sometimes may win, but it was just luck. In most cases ten nine. For example: I have a friend and play cards, hands on, Wang, and a pair of 7 cards, but too bad not to get success. So bid points called high for good? This called the call is much higher, because each bureau hand is not the same, so you can't lump together. In short, when the hand is a bit better can be called a little higher, if the hand is not good can be called the low point or not bid, this is for each hand, concrete analysis of concrete problems, flexible control.
Secondly, we should grasp the play off. When you got a good hand, cannot explain you a high level of technology, can only show you a seat position and good luck. If you have a good hand, this is a good beginning, if you don't play were also beaten. If the card is not very good, as long as you are careful to discard or discard, can also battle " or leisure family. The past is an idiom: afraid of " serious " two characters. Why when someone speaks others be absent-minded, even expressions about " pig" and so on, I think is to discard or discard is a bit of a problem.
In three, playing cards to tell the whole coordination should have team spirit
Why talk about playing cards to say overall fit, have team spirit? Why don't I will be third major points included in the second points, and specifically included one? This shows that the overall cooperation is important. Speak of here is the main leisure family overall coordination complexes. Particularly for playing three dozen ha licensing leisure home without coordination and spirit hard hit. Three dozen ha card to fight alone, leisure family three should be with the collective as one can defeat. Especially to remind leisure family, must not be selfish, when personal hero. Otherwise, you can't play a few people will do not play with you.
In short, the above is my play playing card game in three, a bit experience, not necessarily exactly, just for your reference. At the same time, also welcome everybody to master Ni Wensan ha forum, learn together, work together to improve. Thank you.

The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
The Crew - Launch Trailer
PC configuration:
CPU: Intel i5-4670K
RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
The dragon symbol on LED panel
With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
An overview of the very gaming look system.
Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
FPS: Average frames is at:
Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
The comments of the game for your reference:
There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
(The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.
Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

NVIDIA 960 card + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

Processor and graphics card upgrade for hp dc5100 MT(EF633US)

Can someone kindly tell me a variety of Intel processors and graphic cards which i can install in my pc coz right now i'm using Intel pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz and Intel 82915G/GV/910GL express chipset. but i would like to upgrade to a faster processor and a graphics card which can play games which require large graphic memory (eg FIFA 2013,GTA 5.etc)

Hi:
Personally, I wouldn't invest the money to upgrade that PC.
You would be better off getting an off lease newer dc5800 MT or dc7800/dc7900 model that has a PCIe x16 video slot.
The killer for your model is you can only install a PCI graphics card.
Very inefficient and pretty expensive for what you get in return.
After you install the required microcode update, the best processor I know for sure you can install would be the P4 650.
Below is the link to the quickspecs. The supported processors are listed on page 7.
I do not know of anyone who that has installed the 651 or 661 processors and got them to work--even though the specs state they are supported.
You can try the 651 or 661 and if you do, please let me know if they worked for you.

PSU and Video card upgrade for HP e9280t

Hello, I wanted to upgrade my PSU and video card. The PSU I would like to get is the SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096&Tpk=17-151-096) but I wasn't sure if my computer could handle and hold the PSU. The video card I would like to get is the EVGA 01G-P3-1561-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604) but im not sure if my computer can handle this too. I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9280t CTO Desktop PC (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4066665) can someone please tell me if I can upgrade to the PSU and Video card?

Stuart, welcome to the forum.
The truth is, any video card that will run properly with the 300W PSU in the computer, will not be much better than the integrated video. Most newer mid-level cards require a PSU with a minimum of 400W watts. I have searched for other members many times without any luck. If you want to upgrade the PSU, it will give you far more options.

J2me and java card, need help to communicate

we are trying to put together a reader to read smartcards using j2me and we figure that it would be easiest if we could develop it to work with java cards rather than standard smart cards, the problem is we get garbage when we communicate to it, the chip sends us crap, any suggestions what might be wrong, any calls we might be missing, has anyone worked with j2me and java cards or smart cards, any help would be appreciated.
einar

.... reader app and the ME behind it .... smells like mobile ....
First of all - if you want to have one mobile application running on this just make sure that whatever is written in ME can use drivers from the reader chip ....
Workin on the PC is something completely different. There was one good example how to develop one host application in Java provided with the JCOP tools long ago ... I don't know if this is now in the new Eclipse tools.
But - there was a small API provided that can give you good hints what to do - and - once you have it on the reader side - you can easily integrate ME methods with this ...

I am trying to add a game to my sons I touch pad. It is a free game. It asks for verification of password and credit card info. Every time, it tells me that my time has expired. Help.

It asked me that too.Don't worry and just put it in. Itunes doesn't charge unless your son buys something. The password happens to me all the time. Credit card was only once. Just make sure your son knows not to buy anything without permission so he doesn't accidently charge you something.

Unable to find Transfer Rules and Data Source for 0PERSON Info Source

Hi,
I'am working on SALES ANALYSIS Configuration with the help of SAP Best Practices.
I'am trying to load Master Data Attributes/Texts/Hierarchies.
I'am able to load for allmost all the InfoPackages which i created for particular DataSource.
Now i need to load master data for 0PERSON InfoObject under that Person (Attributes) and Person (texts) are there,for this 2 Transfer Rules and the DataSource has to be defined by default as it is defined for other Attributes/Texts/Hierarchies.But i'am unable to find a DataSource and Transfer Rules to create a infopackage for PERSON Attributes and Texts.
Please gudie me with a solution in order to get these Transfer Rules and DataSource for this Attributes and Texts.
With regards,
Pradeep.B

Hi,
Install the corresponding master data objects from Business content. Go to data source find out the needed datasource, replicate it. If you want you can migrate it also.
If still you are not getting 0person masterdata object datasource & transformation structure, then you have to create the transformation, Infopackage.
Hope if you will install the business content again, it will solve your problem.

Want to add Video and Graphic Card to my computer system

I Notice that one of the users' in the Apple discussion Board is Listed, (AndyO) he has help me many times in the Past and was succesful in my problrm solution, would he might be able to help me with this?
I had Purchased the Game Spore Creature Creator the Starter Kit which is just the Creature creator game and not the actual game itself. I wasn't able to install the the game on my computer because I don't have the right or not at all Video and Graphic Card install on my computer.

* Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher
* Intel Core Duo Processor
* 1024 MB RAM
* At least 345 MB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for created creatures. (260 MB for the Trial Edition)
* Video Card - ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
This game will not run on PowerPC (G3/G4/G5) based Mac systems (PowerMac).

Hi Trisha,
The only modern Mac's with video cards are the Mac Pro and Xserve (server) systems. They both are priced quite a bit higher than any Mac Mini.
Some systems, like the Mac Book Pro laptop can be ordered with different graphics cards, but that has be done when the system is built, as it is not replaceable once the system is built. To find out which systems, go to store.apple.com. For each system that you select, you can see if there's an option for a better video card.

Set up rule and lost mail!

I thought I was doing a 'good' thing when I set up a rule in Mail that said if the email address does not contain my exact email address, please move it to the junk folder. I set it up for both my cable company's email address and for my Mac address. Went back into Mail- all messages gone from both accounts!! Wiped out. So I went back into Rules and removed both rules. The Mac mail reappeared but my cable company emails did NOT reappear. Now I can probably recover them cuz I back up every morning but since the backup this morning, of course I have gotten some emails which did not get backed up. What happened?! Where did they go? Can I get them back? Ugh! Judy

I tried rebuilding the mailbox and that didn't help. Judy

I stopped using iCloud after another family member received all my contacts. Now I want to restart using iCloud. How do I prevent this happening again? We share the same Apple id password and credit card but different usernames.

If two of you shared the same contacts you were logged in with the same Apple ID. In order to avoid this you need to use different Apple IDs, and be using separate Macs or separate user accounts on the same Mac.
One or other of you should create a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com for which you will need a non-Apple email address which hasn't been associated with another Apple ID.

HT204053 We have two Iphone 4S but we set each one up with different accounts, how can we share purchased or downloaded music from and iTunes card without purchasing twp different cards?

We have two Iphone 4s with different accounts, what would we need to do to share music from and Itune card if one of us purchased and the other did not?

Put all of the music on the computer(s) to which you sync, then sync to your idevices
