Ok, this is the thing, I have my sistem on mi dell Inspiron 5150 and I still havn't gotten everything to work:
for example, the battery monitor, How do I do this, I really have no idea, if i add it to the panel, there is an error message about acpi...
the other thing is my usb memory stick, What should the entry in the fstab for it?
this is what lsusb prints out:
| Code: | Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 045e:0095 Microsoft Corp.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05dc:0080 Lexar Media, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I only have two usb slots... but heck, ...
and last , the wireless card, I have a dlink dwl g 650 card, I only compiled pcmcia support in the kernel but haven't donde anything else... so that's basically it
thank you to those who take the time to read me, and bear with me, I live in venezuela, so my english is a bit rusty..
thanks
charles

If you plug in a usb mass storage stick a device called "/dev/sda1" should be created.
So your fstab entry should look like this:
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick usbfs user,exec,rw,noauto 0 0
|
Best regards

Then look for all sda* devices in /dev and try to mount them until you've luck.
But normally it is the sda1 device...
Best regards

plugged and unplugged the usb memory stick , this is what dmesg shows..
| Code: |
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using address 5
scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: LEXAR Model: DIGITAL FILM Rev: /W1.
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
SCSI device sda: 251904 512-byte hdwr sectors (129 MB)
sda: assuming Write Enabled
sda: assuming drive cache: write through
/dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target0/lun0: p1
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0
USB Mass Storage device found at 5 |
i tried with the /dev/scsi/host3/bus0/target0/lun0 option in fstab, still no luck, any ideas, there are like a zillion sd s in /dev
thanks

Regarding your battery monitor issue, it sounds like you are using Gnome. The Gnome battery monitor by default assumes you are using acpi instead of apm. Since I prefer ACPI, and I use gentoo-dev-sources and the 2.6 kernel, I compile ACPI support into the kernel, "emerge acpid", and "rc-update add acpid default".
I too had trouble with my USB key. Here's the appopriate entry out of my fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto noauto,noatime,user 0 0
However, I use kernel automounter and autofs so I don't have to manually mount the device each time I plug it in.

Good call. That's a good guide. Required reading for sure.

i hope it's not too late, but i have my usb-sticks/digicam/mp3player working on my inspiron 8600 with this in my fstab:
| Code: | | /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb1 auto noauto,user,exec,rw 0 0 |
maybe its better to use auto instead of usbfs... just give it a try. |
