There is a package called 'popularity-contest' .

It looks for most used files/packages and sends them out anonymously
to be compiled into statistics.

Maybe you can talk to it's maintainer, and see if he is willing to
look into locales statistics in the next release?

Ugh My clock appers to run right (date shows correct TZ and local
time) , but I get:

tar: ./postinst: time stamp 2001-09-04 20:53:08 is 81768 s in the
future
tar: ./prerm: time stamp 2001-09-04 20:53:09 is 81769 s in the future
tar: ./md5sums: time stamp 2001-09-04 20:53:14 is 81774 s in the
future
tar: ./control: time stamp 2001-09-04 20:53:13 is 81773 s in the
future

It works fine, but I just thought I'd point that out (v. 1.0-3 BTW)

Using USB serial device with a cdc-acm driver

2014-12-01 Thread Dmitriy Fitisov
Hello everyone,
we have a small device of our own, which communicates through serial USB on 
Windows.
Now we need it to work on Raspberry (yes, I know this is Debian, which is 
Raspberry based on).
USB descriptors configured as a modem, so, when I connect it to Linux, cdc-acm 
module is loaded.
However, there is apparently some process which is watching modems, so on 
connection
I got some info on my device - on Ubuntu it is AT commands, for which I have 
adapted firmware
(seems ModemManager is running), but on Raspberry I cannot find out what 
process attaches 
to my "modem" and what it wants. 
It sends a data similar to terminal control sequence. 
Where should I look at? I want to turn this process off.
Ubuntu does not use inittab anymore, but Raspberry seems still uses.
I do not see anything suspicious in /etc/inittab:


# /etc/inittab: init(8) configuration.

May be. In this case I have to have some line in inittab which tells me that 
getty has to be activated on /dev/ttyACM0,
but I do not have it. Somewhere else?

No, nothing related.
I compiled cdc-acm with debug support and print bytes flowing and see that 
there is some info exchange
with lot of 0x20 0x08 sequences after some "term control sequences"

Tried that. No such things. It is "come and go".
I carefully went through list of running processes with "top" and identified 
couple of suspects, which behaves
actively at the time of insertion: udevd and ifplugd. If I stop service udevd, 
no devices created in 
/dev/ which is logically, udevd should be responsible for some part.

That I also tried last week. Nothing is open.
It is like "probe on startup", some program does not recognize it as a valid 
terminal and close it.
Just how it seems to me.

I would not care about that, but my firmware receives some data which I do not 
expect at that time.

Re: Using USB serial device with a cdc-acm driver

2014-12-02 Thread Dmitriy Fitisov
Thank you,
that might be..
Actually I tested it again and appears I was not exact.
When device starts everything is ok.
Then Linux app opens "/dev/serial/by-id/mydevice" (which with lsof somehow 
shows that /dev/ttyACM0 was opened instead)
and sends few bytes: "t 6\n\r",
device sends back some data starting with 0xCE, but my application does not 
receive it,
instead some from some unknown place I see that cdc-acm itself in response to 
device data sends like this:

0x5e 0x43 0x5e 0x42 0x33 0xFF 0xD3 0x5E 0x45 0x31 0x53 0x38 0x30 0x40 0x59 0x25 
0x43, then 4 first bytes that device sent
and 0x5E 0x41 0x5E 0x40 0x5E 0x40 - repeats few times 0x5e 0x40 then lot of 
0x08 0x20..

Which looks like ^C^B3 0xFF 0xD3 ^E1S80@Y%C
does not make sense to me..

Checked udev, shat down ifplugd and dbus-daemon, no effect.
