Hi,

I Build NDAS packages correctly. Install the ndas-modules-src_1.1-24_all.deb. run sudo m-a prepare run sudo m-a auto-install ndas and given this error "Build of the package ndas-modules-src failed! How do youwish to proceed"

Patch to fix NDAS source for Linux 2.6.27

11/25/08 09:54:17 changed by Illusion

I have created a patch so the NDAS source code, ndas_1.1-24.tar.gz, will compile on Linux 2.6.27-7-generic (using Ubuntu 8.10). To use this patch, put it in your NDAS source directory (the location where you unpacked this tar.gz file; which should also have the "INSTALL" & "README" files), and run:

patch -p1 <Linux2.6.27.patch

patch is in the patch package.

Then you should be able to "make" and "sudo make install". This works on my network and brings up my previously working NDAS drives using my old registration information.

There is one outstanding warning, which I did not have time to resolve: WARNING: could not find /Projects/ndas-1.1-24/.ndas.o.cmd for /Projects/ndas-1.1-24/ndas.o but the code works for me regardless.

***IMPORTANT NOTE*** A recent change to the NDAS software broke access to my "Net" disk. The kernel module ndas-core needs to know which network interface to use for access to the drive. This can be fixed with an entry in /etc/modprobe.d/options:

options ndas-core ndas_dev='''wlan0'''

BE SURE TO REPLACE THE wlan0 with the network interface your computer will use to access your drive!

Good luck! Doug

It's work fine!

Thanks

Please make this patch visible on main page!

11/29/08 13:52:58 changed by Illusion

I just noticed that my comment about the /etc/modprobe.d/options entry is incorrect. I tried to bold the wlan0, which apparently works in the "Preview", but not the final submission (I think a {bold} nested inside a {code} block fails). Ignore all the quotes on that "options" entry. It should be:

options ndas-core ndas_dev=wlan0

and replace the wlan0 with your network interface.

Any idea, thanks (I use 8.10 new install)

Have a look at the text in your "Linux2.6.27.patch" file, perhaps there was an error downloading it. It should be "readable" text (i.e.: no binary characters).

The MD5 is:

Well you were right the patch was corrupt (was in html format)

Now everything is ok and I've got my netdisk working.

Thanks

12/02/08 09:59:34 changed by Illusion

Good to hear! Thanks for reporting back... --Doug

12/04/08 12:24:20 changed by anonymous

Hello,

I have the same problem, see my ticket-827.

So, when the patch was corrupt (in html format) where can I download the right patch???

The link linux2.6.27.patch always shows a html file after download.

12/04/08 22:04:55 changed by Illusion

Can you describe the process you use to download the patch?

If I right click on the link and "Save as...", then it is fine. If I click on it and save the page that loads, then it is HTML.

12/05/08 07:33:39 changed by guaguo

http://code.ximeta.com/trac-ndas/attachment/ticket/839/Linux2.6.27.patch?format=raw

This is the right file for patching.

Good luck

12/15/08 16:15:35 changed by resanders@conicstar.net

Hello.

Do I install the patch before the command dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot? The error I'm getting before running that command is: patch: **** strip count 1 is not a number

Thanks

12/16/08 18:01:37 changed by Illusion

Hi,

The patch I provided modifies the source code. So it must be applied before the source is compiled into usable software. You don't need dpkg-buildpackage to install NDAS on your system. Try my directions posted at the top (25 Nov 2008) and let us know if they work.

If you want help understanding why you received that error message, you'll need to let us know more about what you did.

Good luck

12/19/08 10:25:59 changed by resanders@conicstar.net

Thank you. Yes, the directions worked. I did have some trial-and-error attempts trying to use the old guidelines before discovering where I needed to be to register the disk.

Thank you again.

thanks for your help so far.

I've downloaded the src code from: http://code.ximeta.com/dev/current/linux md5sum: ccedb4db57f302674ebe93bf148d7188 ndas-1.1-24.tar.gz

my kernel is 2.6.27-9-generic

the problem: patch -p1 <Linux2.6.27.patch replies: patch: **** strip count l is not a number

has anyone an idea how to fix that problem? thank you very much!

12/31/08 06:10:40 changed by resanders@conicstar.net

I believe the problem lies with the character following -p being the number one rather than the letter "l." I tried both ways and got the same error when I used -pl (letter "l"). When I used -p1 (number one), the command indicated that I had already applied the patch since that was the case. My kernel is the same as yours.

Works fine on 2.6.27-9 unfortunately I've reinstalled latest mandriva cooker and now kernel is 2.6.28-desktop-0.rc8.1mnb and it fails to compile (many errors)

01/01/09 05:11:51 changed by anonymous

Perhaps Illusion will be able to create a patch for the new kernel. I know I'm hoping so. In the meantime, can you not access your drive using a USB connection? I know this is not satisfactory, but it does work if your device comes with that capability.

01/03/09 03:34:00 changed by anonymous

unfortunately not as it is located in the house next to mine (disaster recovery disk). On thing that is sure, is that I'll never ever buy any new ximeta products and proprietary products to avoid so poor support. :-(

01/03/09 19:03:57 changed by Illusion

Since I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, I don't have access to the 2.6.28-desktop-0.rc8.1mnb kernel that you are using for Mandriva, but I'm downloading the 2.6.28 kernel now and I'll have a look at whether I can "hand-patch" that source for NDAS. If I think I can, then I'll post it and you can give it a try and let us know if it works (the Mandriva patches may interfere).

Happy New Year, Doug

01/04/09 10:17:40 changed by anonymous

I'm now using 2.6.28-desktop-2nmb which is a 2.6.28 final with few add-ons and extra drivers. It should behave the same as a vanila 2.6.28.0. I'm not a developper, but I'll be very pleased to test and report.

Best regards.

Olivier.

01/04/09 18:04:46 changed by Illusion

Hi Olivier,

Can you send me the error output from your make attempt? I compiled 2.6.28 and began compiling my patched version of ndas-1.1-24 against it and received the following first error. I want to know if it is consistent with what you are getting, so I can feel like I'm on the right track...

ndas-1.1-24/block/block26.c:438: error: for each function it appears in.)

I'm not planning to apply the Ubuntu patches to this kernel, so I won't be running it or the resulting NDAS module (I don't have time to research that development path right now), but if I'm on the right track, you should be successful at patching, compiling & running the result.

Regards, Doug
