Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

The latest update of "hen" has caused me not detect or activate any USB device.

while I`m waiting for my new female adapter to come, I said, why not test the new version, it might work....end result?Whenever I click mount the application hangs...I don`t even see the unmount button, and I have to force the app close....and while I was booting up in Maemo, the device said 'charging' while I didn`t have the charging cable in the device!.....that`s what happens when we test beta software....ahaha

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

I am also experiencing application hangs and I only open it if I do it from xterm

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

The following version of the /opt/mount.sh script seems to mount correctly also multipartition devices. I am not convinced of the unmounting, it seems not to work, or at least unmounting should be confirmed before you proceed quitting hostmode.
For now it's true that it's better to mount and umount by hand so that you have feedback in xterm of what you do

Code:

#!/bin/sh





monta() {

echo mounting

lista=`awk '$4~"[0-9]$"{print $4}' /proc/partitions | grep -v "mmcblk*" | grep -v "loop*"`

for partitions in $lista

    do echo mkdir -p $partitions

    mkdir -p /media/$partitions

    echo mount /dev/$partitions /media/$partitions

    mount /dev/$partitions /media/$partitions

done

}



unmount() {

echo unmounting

lista=`awk '$4~"[0-9]$"{print $4}' /proc/partitions | grep -v "mmcblk*" | grep -v "loop*"`

for partitions in $lista

        do echo umount /media/$partitions

    umount /media/$partitions

done

}    



if [ "$1" = "--mount" ]

    then

        monta

fi



if [ "$1" = "--unmount" ]

    then

        unmount

fi

    

exit

Of course should you should be root to copy it in /opt/mount.sh and chmod 755

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

Funny thing. Yesterday I've managed to mount 2 usb sticks for the first time but I had to mount them from x-term. Today I can't mount them anymore. After enumeration the led is lightened bud trying to mount it from x-term gives na error.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

I am getting "Forced hostmode error: no device attached" with anything I try.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

Now with power kernel 45 I don't have rebooting issue anymore when I close h-e-n (0.2-4) if the battery module is loaded (bq27x00_battery). Also I was able to mount for the first time 3.5" external hard disk and 16GB & 8GB USB sticks, that I wasn't able with previous kernel and h-e-n. For all of them I had to use x-terminal mounting.

My mistake: i2c-tools failed to install because it conflicted with linux-kernel-headers. Sorted that out and I was able to use a keyboard and a couple of mice that I tried.

But after using a mouse kinetic scrolling seems to be messed up.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

0.2-5

Any comments on this version?Mine hangs when I click mount
