USB_ModeSwitch

Posted: **05 Aug 2011, 01:12**

Hmm, can it be that there is an old config file from an earlier attempt (or a whole bunch of them from an old usb_modeswitch version) in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d ? The best thing would be to clean that folder completely (move the files somewhere else if you feel better keeping them).

Also, have a look in /usr/share/usb_modeswitch, there should be only the compressed configuration package file in there.

Indeed there was one. And it is now in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/Backup where hopefully it will do no harm.

There are a bunch of files in /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/ (196 to be exact), one of whom is called 1307:1169. This should all be in one file (an archive)? I don't think I unpacked these files... let me know what I should do about that. I can pack them all into something if that helps.

FYI:

In /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules this is the entry I have for this device:

# USB device 0x13b1:0x0031 (usb)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="68:7f:74:e3:f6:4b", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan1"

Anyway, after making the first change you requested I restarted. I noticed it was taking forever to boot up and then when I tried to do something I realized the computer had frozen.

I had to shut off my computer. THAT'S FANTASIC NEWS!!!

My computer freezing means that the wireless device switched automatically (because it tends to freeze within a couple seconds of switching)! So before starting again, I unplugged the ethernet, and the wireless booted with startup!!!!

YES!!!!

Here's the log:

About the many configuration files in "/usr/share/usb_modeswitch", that is fine. There is two ways of installing the data package: "make install" will just copy all config files while "make install-packed" will put them into a compressed package first. Unless you are extremely short of hard disk space, you can leave things as they are. The usb_modeswitch program can handle both.

About that program response "Mode switch has failed. Bye." - that's why I needed someone to test the new version ... There is a bug obviously.
As soon as you get "found matching vendor ID - found matching product ID" in the log, the searching should have stopped and the program should have started rejoicing and boasting about this gigantic success.
Which it didn't.

It's my part to fix that, obviously. Expect a corrected file tonight (early afternoon at your side of the ball).

Back from work - and back to business ...

Get the program source with the same link as before and use it in the source folder, you really know the drill now.

Check that the "usb_modeswitch.cfg" file is corrected in the source folder as well, or else you will re-install the wrong settings ...

Do annother "make install" in the source folder. Replug your stick to see if you get a success message in the log this time.

I'm using it to send this message, but my computer will probably freeze soon. Btw is there a way I need to unmount the usb adapter after doing modeswitch, or is it safe to just unplug.

Anyway, this is looking VERY good! Lots of reason for celebrating - unless I'm wrong, it looks like we may be nearing done with this project. (Next project: why does my computer keep freezing).

Now, that's the way a log is supposed to look. I officially declare that this device is supported by usb_modeswitch !

About unplugging: there should be no problem with just pulling out. In the case of USB devices, there is only one reason to be careful about unplugging: if something or someone is writing data to the device. That may be the case for your average memory stick, or for any other device during a firmware update. In theory, the driver storage on your stick should not be writable; we know that it is but you are not using it for file storage, right?

BTW, did you try to repair that file system? To do that, disable mode switching in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf, plug in and wait a moment. If the install storage appears on your desktop, unmount it ("remove safely"). If not, don't bother and run (as root or with sudo):
# fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1
You might be able to get rid of these FAT error messages.

About the freezing: did you look for anything suspicious in the log files (/var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages) ?
If your system is configured well, you should have a time stamp preceding every entry there which may help finding the exact places where the freeze occurred. There should be a time jump when you rebooted.

All the program's boasting is totally justified. I love modeswitch!

Right, I'm not using it for storage. I doubt anything would be writing to it. Once usb_modeswitch does it's thing, it disappears as a storage device.

Hmm, I tried, not too much luck. Oh well! Not a big deal, like you said, I won't be using it, but it is bizarre.

I don't have a file called /var/log/messages (as far as I can tell), but I do have syslog.

Yeah, I've been reading that log a bit. The reason for the freezing is pretty variable. Well, listen, it's probably a driver issue. It wouldn't be really very appropriate for a usb_modeswitch forum - I doubt it anyway. I'm going to try deinstalling the driver and if my computer doesn't freeze, there's no way it's modeswitch. So I'll let you know.

I'm pretty exhausted with all the repairs we've been doing! After a little break, I'm going to post on ubuntuforums about the freezing issue. And I'll pass the link. No pressure to help but if you're able and it would be fun for you, that would be pretty awesome!

But I'm going to take a minute to celebrate this. Usb_modeswitch got the job done. And I am almost there and very happy about it.

now that you've all been able to get this to work, is anyone able to post instructions on how we can also get our AM10 adapters working? I'm still new to Ubuntu any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Posted: **15 Aug 2011, 08:06**

Version 1.1.9 of usb_modeswitch (see "Announcements") together with data package 20110805 includes everything you need.

Install from source or from the Debian packages ("sid / unstable"). See the main doc page, paragraph "Download".

Posted: **15 Aug 2011, 22:53**

Im brand new to using unbuntu, and the AM10 is my ONLY way of accessing the internet with Unbunut (Using windows currently). I THINK I have Usb modeswitch properly installed, but it says "No driver detected" and I have no idea were to find the driver or how to install it. (I apologize in advance if this isnt the right place to ask... Ive been watching this topic for a couple weeks, and just made an account so I have no idea where else to ask)

Posted: **15 Aug 2011, 23:58**

I don't know about the driver situation for this device, but you may get further hints at the Ubuntu forum that ohmysql pointed to in his second posting in this thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? ... st11077654

Posted: **11 Sep 2011, 03:34**

Josh, question for you. My Ubuntu freezes and refuses to get past grub whenever I have the USB device plugged in. Do you think modeswitch might be involved? Any idea how I can tell? I can get you a syslog or dmesg readout if you think that will help.

OMS!

Posted: **11 Sep 2011, 08:05**

No, that's probably rather a matter of the BIOS. I have one machine that refuses to boot if one of my 3G sticks is plugged. Some of these try to fake a CDROM which may confuse the boot code of the PC.

If you see grub, nothing from Ubuntu is loaded yet (except a fancy splash screen).

You can try to fiddle with the BIOS settings (boot order, legacy USB or others), but there is no guarantee for success.

Posted: **11 Sep 2011, 15:44**

Are you sure? My understanding is you see GRUB after the BIOS loading is over. In fact, I see a screen that says "loading operating system", then GRUB beeps, then right you see the Ubuntu splash screen. I doubt it's BIOS loading if you see an Ubuntu screen, non?

Well anyway, I tried with a different USB key and it loaded fine!

No other suggestions? I turned off USB loading in my BIOS, I don't think it did much.

Maybe some content on my USB key is making it screw up. I'll have to try different stuff I guess.

But if it were USB_modeswitch, how would I know?

OMS!

Posted: **13 Sep 2011, 17:10**

The stick may alter the disk order, confusing grub. I don't know for sure if this can be fixed with BIOS settings.

As long as the "udev" service is not started yet, there is no way usb_modeswitch is responsible for anything.
