I had set up my N900 with Multiboot-00 Maemo omap1 kernel and 01-Power-kernel44 fixed all camera issues etc. and all seems to working perfect.

From inside Power-kernel44 i downloaded the H-e-n (USB Hostmode GUI) from application manager after restarting and booted up again normally without any issues in Power-Kernel44, i caught my AF to AF usb adapter and tried to connect to my usb stick (Sandisk SDCZ6 4gb) using the following steps:
1.High Speed Hostmode
2.Turned on 5v VBUS
3.Enumerate the Device
4.Mount it

The result i got was nothing...I can`t see my pen drive into the File Manager at all...Can someone help me on this to get it work please??!!

Thanks in advise.

PS:If i type sudo fdisk -l in the xterm ask me for a password...?!! ;-?

Exact same problem here..

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

@augustthe @sophocha @Cybergr @joshv06

Did you try to mount manually from xterm? Make the procedure normally(follow the steps into hen hostmode gui) press enumerate and open your xterm. Take root rights and run

Code:

sfdisk -l

to see the name of your device. If it is for example sda run

Code:

mount /dev/sda /media/flash

and you ll see it in your file manager. If you want to unmount it run

Code:

umount /dev/sda

Thanks for this.Although my usb stick doesn`t even light up, so it must be a dodgy adapter or something.I need to get another one and try one more time and see if I`m lucky.

umount /dev/sda

I finally read my usb stick in the file manager, although I had to first manually do
mkdir /media/flash
before I do
mount /dev/sda1 /media/flash
I thought the mount button in the GUI would take care of these.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

Can anyone confirm the newest version's mount button correctly handles multiple devices?
I hope dh_* chmod +x'd the script... if not, try chmod +x /opt/h-e-n/mount.sh in a root shell.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

Running "sh /opt/h-e-n/mount.sh" manually gives "/opt/h-e-n/mount.sh: line 26: syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "}")"
Is it supposed to give that or am I just lost?

Edit: add the missing } in the end of mount.sh and chmod +x it, then it works

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

sorry when I sound like a partypooper, but mounting a drive under linux is elementary 101, there's lots and lots of howtos to be found on web, and it's not really a problem related to hostmode in any way. There's quite a number of different solutions for mounting/unmounting/safely-removing plug-able devices (not only USB though that's most popular, there's also sata, firewire, even scsii, yes also your uSD of N900! Etc.) on usual linux desktops, like automounter, context menus in filemanagers, device managers.
I don't think h-e-n GUI should try to re-invent the wheel here, and should rather stay away from mounting all together. It's not a task of a hostmode-manager's genuine domain. Mohammad implemented it for convenience reasons for the Beta AIUI, just to deal with what we thought would be the most common case. As well you could do same thing with e.g Desktop Cmdline Execution Widget or QueenBeeCon.

On a completely different topic: Multiboot is a hackerish thing which for all I know is reflashing kernels(!!!) on every boot. It's completely irrelevant if these kernels are hostmode enabled or not. So please take problems which are arising from kernel update or adding another alternative kernel to multiboot, to where they belong: Multiboot maintenance.
h-e-n is not responsible for multiboot problems, and also we're not the experts to help you out here

Thanks for all your enthusiasm and reports and suggestions, please understand we want to evolve h-e-n Beta into a proper naturally working tool, not hotfix any problems possibly unrelated to hostmode per se into a more cluttered less straight and clean Beta2, then Beta3 and so on.

Cheers

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

@MohammadAG: I've changed the /opt/h-e-n/mount.sh script as follows and it seems to work, at least *in vitro*

EDIT warning I removed the code because it worked for single partition devices but doesn't work for multipartition

EDIT EDIT new script some posts below. Good for mounting multipartition devices, as Mohammad intended. Better umount by hand for now, instead.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

Since you all are running ke-recv [1] anyway, why the hell do not you try to recompile it with FREMANTLE_MODE undefined; from a cursory look it seems that might be enough to get automounting for usb volumes to work. And if not (and you're interested in non-manual mounting that much), why do not you just find out how to do it with the daemon already running and eating your memory?

PS: Not a being a believer in the "Just say No" strategy [2], i still feel like politely asking all forum members to refrain from posting while intoxicated, TIA.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

was trying to connect my Canon DSLR as mass storage device to backup my camera pictures on the road.

(as alternative i now am using my SD card reader which works great using h-e-n but i would prefer a direct connection to my camera so i dont'have to carry the SDcard reader.)

However a direct connection does not work as I and others have noticed.
reason for this is that the Canon uses USB for multiple purposes. To be able to use a "mass storage" device it must receive a specific command so its put into this mode.

I started looking for alternative solutions, and started this new thread.
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...210#post871210

as you can read, possible a few options are there and looking well.

reason i post a message here is because i had the following question.
is there any possible change in the future that you could/would embed some parts into h-e-n?
Only thing i really would need is:
- option to mount the SDcard from the camera directly.
means: some button in the interface in example "mount camera"
and when pressed, code is send to put the SLR into storage device mode?
the right protocol codes for the cameras are available on gPhoto.

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

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

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.

Kinetic scrolling problem is bt-hid-scripts fault. And uninstalling it doesn't fix the problem! How do I get back to the original mouse driver?

Perhaps ask there instead? As no one here knows anything about the scripts?

apt-get remove xorg-evdev-mouse does the trick. How annoying that we either get mouse support or proper scrolling but not both. Anyway, apologies for going off topic.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release

hey guys, when i try to mount, does the usb stick need to be fat32 ? or something or ntfs ?

cuz when i push on mount, the usb stick blinks, but doesnt appear in the filesystem and it hangs..

cpu load is on 100 % ?

it can be ntfs too. if it doesnt mount do this

Code:

mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/flash

then use filebox to view the files at that directory (/media/flash)
