**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jan 31 02:59:58 2012 Jan 31 13:50:51 cpan is always catching error "Unrecognized character \\xC0 in column 14 at (eval 25) line 1.... What can I do to fix this? Jan 31 14:26:25 trying to reload the index doesn't do any good either, it comes back with that same error message. so no matter what, cpan is pretty much useless Jan 31 14:26:59 i've deleted the ~/.cpan folder and recreated it to see if that would fix it, no good Jan 31 14:29:06 trying to install the newest cpan don't work either Jan 31 14:35:48 is cpan broken or something? Jan 31 14:37:48 This is what i get, http://fpaste.org/SKtO/ when i try to reload index Jan 31 14:41:06 After I ctrl+c to end everythign and get me back to the shell prompt, i loaded cpan again, and tried to reload index, this time I got http://fpaste.org/R275/ Jan 31 15:02:53 if you try to reload index again, you get http://fpaste.org/6x1v/ The first time you get the catch error, at line 35 in the paste. If you try the reload index immediately after that, you get all that other mess starting at line 56 in the paste Jan 31 15:06:11 you can't install anything via cpan, its the same error message for everything you do. Jan 31 16:02:41 i have been trying to find how to load g_ether module at startup from this morning on... Do you know how? Jan 31 16:03:13 my kernel is 3.0.14+ Jan 31 16:05:06 lets see, I got the ftdi-sio module to be loaded on boot like this: Jan 31 16:05:22 echo ftdi_sio > /etc/modutils/ftdi_sio Jan 31 16:05:40 so if you were to do: echo g_ether > /etc/modutils/g_ether Jan 31 16:05:42 tha might do it Jan 31 16:07:49 kc8hfi : should i only write "echo g_ether > /etc/modutils/g_ether" this command and thats ok? Jan 31 16:08:32 yeah, because it just creates a file called g_ether inside /etc/modutils. and inside this file it has the name of the kernel module. in your case, the kernel module is called g_ether Jan 31 16:08:52 yes then is it ok? Jan 31 16:09:17 i mean no linking no installation? Jan 31 16:11:37 do you have the g_ether module already installed? Jan 31 16:11:44 if you modprobe g_ether, does that work? Jan 31 16:11:47 i have it Jan 31 16:11:54 yes it works Jan 31 16:12:06 ok, then all you need to do is that echo cmmand. Jan 31 16:12:06 i can see usb ports after loading g_ether Jan 31 16:12:11 when you restart, it'll be loaded Jan 31 16:12:38 i restarted but it did not loaded Jan 31 16:12:38 the man page for update-modules explains how it all works Jan 31 16:12:53 can you give me a link? Jan 31 16:13:12 do you have a file inside /etc/modutils with the name of that module inside it? Jan 31 16:13:52 yes Jan 31 16:14:12 and when you lsmod, you don't see it listed? Jan 31 16:14:28 yes Jan 31 16:14:31 btw Jan 31 16:14:40 i saw very interesting thing Jan 31 16:14:51 you are right the way to install module is this Jan 31 16:15:08 because when i open beagle and write lsmod Jan 31 16:15:10 if you type dmesg | grep g_ether does it return anyuthing? Jan 31 16:15:36 i see 4 modules installed and they are exactly same as in /etc/modutils Jan 31 16:15:43 instead of g_ether Jan 31 16:15:59 nothing Jan 31 16:16:10 did you reboot? Jan 31 16:16:13 yes Jan 31 16:16:22 now i didnt load g_ether manually Jan 31 16:17:00 is it g-ether or g_ether?? Jan 31 16:17:04 dash or underscore? Jan 31 16:17:18 g_ether Jan 31 16:17:35 underscore Jan 31 16:18:16 make sure the file in /etc/modutils has the underscore in it Jan 31 16:18:22 along with the text inside that file also Jan 31 16:18:31 dmesg | grep -i ether Jan 31 16:18:35 # cat g_ether Jan 31 16:18:35 g_ether Jan 31 16:18:45 what happens if you run dmesg | grep -i ether Jan 31 16:19:18 http://pastebin.com/hmEsfczj Jan 31 16:20:16 power it off and back on.... Jan 31 16:20:28 i'm runnin out of ideas.... Jan 31 16:20:45 don't you need to run update-modules or similar? Jan 31 16:21:00 ok i did.. I begin trying at this morning and time is 18:20 here now Jan 31 16:21:25 i dont know, am i need? Jan 31 16:22:05 kc8hfi: not loaded again :// Jan 31 16:22:38 bluelightning: i did the ftdi module, and I don't have anything about update-modules in my histrory. I have the echo command to make the file in /etc/modutils and thats it Jan 31 16:22:41 full dmesg result: http://pastebin.com/nG2pU1H4 Jan 31 16:23:06 parana: and if you modprobe g_ether it works?? Jan 31 16:23:16 yes Jan 31 16:23:34 # modprobe g_ether Jan 31 16:23:34 root@beagleboard:~# lsmod Jan 31 16:23:34 Module Size Used by Jan 31 16:23:34 g_ether 30529 0 Jan 31 16:24:21 does it depend on something else to be there also?? Jan 31 16:25:11 full lsmod : http://pastebin.com/UW8zyTBA Jan 31 16:25:53 maybe your kernel already has it built in? Jan 31 16:26:32 sorry? Jan 31 16:26:55 lsusb is empty Jan 31 16:27:03 before loading g_ether Jan 31 16:27:31 when you plug in the device, does dmesg show the new device as being plugged in? Jan 31 16:28:21 before installing g_ether or after? Jan 31 16:28:34 before loading that module Jan 31 16:28:46 ok i'm trying.. Jan 31 16:30:27 nothing it said Jan 31 16:31:11 what kind of device is it? Jan 31 16:31:23 it is a hub Jan 31 16:31:30 has 7 usb ports Jan 31 16:31:30 usb hub? Jan 31 16:31:34 yes Jan 31 16:31:56 you don't need a module for a usb hub. Jan 31 16:32:17 i use beagleboard b7 Jan 31 16:32:24 and i need hub Jan 31 16:32:31 but if i dont load g_ether Jan 31 16:32:37 than lsusb is empty Jan 31 16:33:03 i've got a c4, and i've got a usb hub plugged into it and it works fine. no modules either. Jan 31 16:33:35 i had to add the ftdi module for the usb serial port so i could commuicate with an arduino, and another kernel module for the usb wired network adapter Jan 31 16:34:31 who makes your usb hub? Jan 31 16:34:39 who? Jan 31 16:34:48 the mark is : trust Jan 31 16:34:50 parana: manufacturer of your usb who? Jan 31 16:35:06 and everything works fine if i manually install g_ether Jan 31 16:35:07 parana: the manufacturer of your usb hub is what i meant to say Jan 31 16:35:18 it is 'trust' Jan 31 16:36:15 which kernel you are using? Jan 31 16:36:31 2.6.32 Jan 31 16:36:45 try to use 3.0.14+ :)) Jan 31 16:37:05 i used to use 2.6.32 Jan 31 16:37:13 it was good Jan 31 16:37:35 i see Jan 31 16:37:40 i'm all out of ideas myself.. Jan 31 16:39:47 thank you much Jan 31 16:40:15 parana: you know anything about perl and cpan? I cannot install anything from cpan, I can't even reload the index Jan 31 16:41:08 i just know they are package names.. Jan 31 16:41:20 http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/perl/ Jan 31 16:48:15 i need to go Jan 31 16:48:37 my brain becames a big drum Jan 31 16:48:43 sorry i couldn't help Jan 31 16:49:09 thank you at least you tried to help Jan 31 16:49:26 see you..
