Thread: I/O devices


hey

how manage devices such bluetooth or webcam?

looked through /dev/input/by-id, , found "usb-6047b0025201a0114329n_hp_webcam-101-event-if00" file. can't seem edit it, i'm assuming because i'm not root. tried using

code:
gksudo /dev/input/by-id/usb-6047b0025201a0114329n_hp_webcam-101-event-if00
but nothing opened, happens when gksudo file. had planned edit it.

2 questions:

1) "by-id" folder? can't seem find in google.

2) how can configure input devices bluetooth mic or webcam?

thx.

how "configure" hardware depends on hardware, kernel module (driver) controls interaction hardware, udev rule assigns hardware specific interface/port/socket, , settings of whatever application trying use hardware.

work issue methodically.

1) plug usb device in.
2) wait few seconds, @ last 5 lines of /var/log/dmesg , /var/log/syslog.
item recognized properly? assigned device entry in /dev/ ? there warnings or errors? result different if try usb device in different usb port?
3) try command: lsusb -v . item's entry. identified correctly? drivers associated it?
4) go application want use, preferably terminal can see error messages. check settings. looking right device in /dev/?

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.
