    I'm having trouble transferring the 52 file over, it seems I don't have permission?, I've tried 3 different ftp clients.


    Running Debian 6.0.5


    Thanks


    edit: sorted this by chmod 777 the folder

    tried this again today and no luck


    rebooted and smargo wa not found, had to change again in oscam

    I know its a pain in the backside it switching but if server setup and stable..... restarting the server isn't a necessity!


    I mean i restart Oscam almost weekly but apart from Virmin BB issue, server would of been on for months at a time!


    Any updates you do you should just need to restart Oscam for them to take effect!


    Just my 10 cents :snicker:

    Hi newtolinux, Have fallen at the first fence. I have saved the text in programmers notepad (HOPE THIS IS OK) but I am confused about the chmod to 755 part. I remember seeing this during the initial linux install. I have gnome installed on the server. If someone could help me with the process step by step I might resolve this problem.
    Thanks for you help so far. Sorry if I appear stupid. Too many years working with RF.

    Joy at last.
    I decided to try Filezilla to FTP the 52 reader file to udev. This worked first time. Winscp was reporting a message access denied.
    Another step forward.
    Thanks Ten Below and others for your support.

    Hi,
    I now finally have the above 52_reader.rules in etc/udev. I could only achieve this using FileZilla. WinScp would not allow me to FTP to udev for some reason. Do I need to edit the file or should I be ready to go. If so, I now intend to fit a second smargo. What is my next step.
    Thanks for all the help .

    Hi newtolinux,
    Do I have to make any changes to the script.


    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6001", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403",
    SYMLINK+="ttyUSB_%b", KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0123456789]", MODE="0666"


    My smargo will only work if it is detected in Bus 1. If for some reason it hops to Bus 2 or 3 it will not run. If I keep trying different usb ports eventually it will lock on to Bus 1 and I know in 10 seconds I will have pictures.
    I am really struggling so any guidance would be great.

    Things now seem ok as I finally got above script installed and chmod 755 etc. However if I power down the pc from the mains power the usb will leave 'bus1' and hop to bus 2 or 3 and will not see the smargo. I can only get the smargo working if I install it in a usb 4 port hub. It is then picked up as 'bus1' followed by a device number and all is ok. If I reboot the PC many times it will function properly until I kill the power completely. I have left'' ttyUSB[0123456789]'' as is. Hope this is correct.
    Any advise or guidance appreciated.

    I have used the following settings, and it works well. But unfortunately every morning I got up I found that it failed to read the card.it shows the symbol ERROR(no entittlements)" How to solve this problem?









    [reader]
    label = reader-1
    protocol = smartreader
    device = 002:004
    caid = XXXX
    boxid = 41CC3FCF
    ins7e11 = 15
    boxkey = 1122334455667788
    detect = cd
    mhz = 686
    cardmhz = 357
    ident = XXXX:000000
    group = 1
    emmcache = 1,1,0
    savenano = all
    blocknano = all


    [reader]
    label = reader-2
    protocol = smartreader
    device = 002:005
    caid = XXXX
    boxid = 41CC3FCF
    ins7e11 = 15
    detect = cd
    mhz = 686
    cardmhz = 10
    ident = XXXX:000000
    group = 1
    emmcache = 1,1,0


    [reader]
    label = reader-3
    protocol = smartreader
    device = 002:006
    caid = XXXX
    boxid = 41CC3FCF
    ins7e11 = 15
    detect = cd
    mhz = 480
    cardmhz = 357
    ident = xxxx:000000
    group = 1
    emmcache = 1,1,0

    Just discovered that the 4 way usb hub I was using was causing my Smargo to hop to a different bus when the server is powered down.
    I tried a different 4 way hub and it appears to stick on 'bus' 1 which works fine after a power down.
    Any body know why my Smargo will only work when installed in a 4 way usb hub device. I have checked it with the udev rules.file deleted and all appears ok. Should I leave the rules.file installed ?????.
    Thanks in advance.

    it's ok. I did it with gedit text editor. Seems to have let me chmod it anyway. Thanks for your help.

    Hi Jeffzapp,
    I know this is going back some time now but just wondering if you had success locking your smargo to a specific usb port.
    I cannot seem to get it right. I followed the same route as yourself the only difference is that I used Filezilla as I can set the 755 in properties. My smargo still hops to different usb bus locations when I power down my server. It will only read my card when it is detected in bus 1 which is difficult to achieve. Do I need to edit the word pad doc that newtolinux supplied in the tutorial at the start of this thread.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Guys,
    Looks like locking smargo to usb port has the better of me. To recap, smargo will only work for me if it is picked up in usb bus 1. However I have discovered that if I use a 4 way usb hub with smargo inserted this seems to like bus 1 and will work away fine. I tried following the advise provided by TenBelow and used filezilla to FTP the file to udev but it does not seem to work. However to clarify things, I have taken out the [ ] in the file part that lists the usb number. Hope this is correct. Also if I have to always use the 4 way hub should I connect a perminent 5V supply to it and connect this to a UPS. This may be the only way that I can get the smargo to work after a power failure.
    I welcome your comments and advise.

    for example i have
    ID 067b:2303
    in that case script looks ATTRS{idProduct}=="2303", ATTRS{idVendor}=="067b" or i am wrong?
    and also have
    ID 1a86:7532
    how looks script with lock these two ports?
