Configurar el modem 3G Gobi 2000 integrado en el netbook HP Mini 210 con Debian Squeeze

Jueves, 10 de febrero de 2011 4 comentarios

Hola,

en la entrada de la instalación de Debian Squeeze en un netbook HP mini 210 os comentaba que me daba problemas el modem 3g integrado pero ya pudé solucionarlo.

Primero instalamos el paquete gobi-loader que permite cargar el firmware.

Vamos a /lib/firmware y creamos la carpeta gobi.

Ahora necesitamos el firmware del modem que se puede extraer de los drivers de windows aunque ya os dejo los ficheros necesarios aquí.

Descargamos el firmware y copiamos los ficheros amss.mbn, apss.mbn y UQCN.mbn a /lib/fimrware/gobi.

Ejecutamos lsusb para comprobar la detección del modelo por el sistema y los idVendor y idProduct. En mi caso me devuelve

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 03f0:251d Hewlett-Packard Gobi 2000 Wireless Modem

Siendo el idVendor 03FO y idProduct 251D. Es importante comprobar con lsusb los identificadores para cambiarlos si es necesario.

Como root editamos el fichero /lib/udev/rules.d/77-mm-usb-device-blacklist.rules y añadimos al final las siguientes lineas (antes de la linea LABEL=”mm_usb_device_blacklist_end“).


# GOBI 2000 HP Mini 210
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03F0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="241D", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"

Reiniciamos el equipo y ahora podemos comprobar que el sistema ya lo reconoce.

Si usamos el minicom podemos acceder al modem en ttyUSB0 (configuración de conexión de 9800,8N1) y mediante comandos AT le pido que me diga la versión del firmware y el modem responde.

O sí usamos el gestor de conexiones de gnome vemos como ahora si nos deja seleccionar el modem 3G para crear la conexión.

Instalar Debian 6.0 Squeeze en un netbook HP Mini 210

Martes, 8 de febrero de 2011 13 comentarios

Hola,

como ya comenté en la anterior entrada, ya tenemos disponible Debian 6.0 Squeeze por lo que estoy procediendo a actualizar distintos equipos (tanto de casa como de trabajo). Uno de estos equipos es un Netbook HP Mini 210-1060SS que está con Windows 7 Profesional y tenía una partición libre esperando por Squeeze.

Al ser un netbook, voy usar una grabadora externa usb para realizar la instalación por lo que me descargé la imagen de Squeeze  net-install para i386 y grabarla en un CD.

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.0/i386/iso-cd/debian-6.0.0-i386-netinst.iso

Arranco desde CD y salta el instalador sin problemas.

Hacemos una instalación normal de debian, en mi caso siempre en modo texto.

Durante la detección del hardware de red tenemos el primer “problema” ya que nos pide el firmware de la tarjeta wireless que usa el chipset Broadcom BCM4312. Para la instalación inicial no los necesitamos ya que podemos seguir instalando por ethernet sin problemas y con el sistema instalado configuramos la tarjeta wireless.

La instalación continua normalmente y al acabar intenta configurar el grub como gestor de arranque. Durante la detección de los SO instalados me detecta  la partición de Windows 7 Profesional pero no lo configura correctamente y no aparece en el arranque del grub. Esto ya me había pasado hace tiempo cuando instale Squeeze en el PC de casa que no configuraba Windows vista. Como ya expliqué hace tiempo, solo tenemos que iniciar linux y como root desde una consola ejecutar el comando update-grub que ahora si configura correctamente el arranque de Windows 7.

Ya está disponible Debian 6.0 Squeeze

Domingo, 6 de febrero de 2011 Sin comentarios

Hola,

tal como comentaban en la lista de desarrolladores de Debian hace unos días, hoy se acaba de publicar la versión final de Debian 6.0 Squeeze tras 24 meses de desarrollo. Al mismo tiempo, con la publicación de Squeeze, han cambiado el diseño de la página web del proyecto

Copio las notas de lanzamiento.

Debian 6.0 Squeeze released

February 6th, 2011

After 24 months of constant development, the Debian Project is proud to present its new stable version 6.0 (code name Squeeze). Debian 6.0 is a free operating system, coming for the first time in two flavours. Alongside Debian GNU/Linux, Debian GNU/kFreeBSD is introduced with this version as a technology preview.

Debian 6.0 includes the KDE Plasma Desktop and Applications, the GNOME, Xfce, and LXDE desktop environments as well as all kinds of server applications. It also features compatibility with the FHS v2.3 and software developed for version 3.2 of the LSB.

Debian runs on computers ranging from palmtops and handheld systems to supercomputers, and on nearly everything in between. A total of nine architectures are supported by Debian GNU/Linux: 32-bit PC / Intel IA-32 (i386), 64-bit PC / Intel EM64T / x86-64 (amd64), Motorola/IBM PowerPC (powerpc), Sun/Oracle SPARC (sparc), MIPS (mips (big-endian) and mipsel (little-endian)), Intel Itanium (ia64), IBM S/390 (s390), and ARM EABI (armel).

Debian 6.0 Squeeze introduces technical previews of two new ports to the kernel of the FreeBSD project using the known Debian/GNU userland: Debian GNU/kFreeBSD for the 32-bit PC (kfreebsd-i386) and the 64-bit PC (kfreebsd-amd64). These ports are the first ones ever to be included in a Debian release which are not based on the Linux kernel. The support of common server software is strong and combines the existing features of Linux-based Debian versions with the unique features known from the BSD world. However, for this release these new ports are limited; for example, some advanced desktop features are not yet supported.

Another first is the completely free Linux kernel, which no longer contains problematic firmware files. These were split out into separate packages and moved out of the Debian main archive into the non-free area of our archive, which is not enabled by default. In this way Debian users have the possibility of running a completely free operating system, but may still choose to use non-free firmware files if necessary. Firmware files needed during installation may be loaded by the installation system; special CD images and tarballs for USB based installations are available too. More information about this may be found in the Debian Firmware wiki page.

Furthermore, Debian 6.0 introduces a dependency based boot system, making system start-up faster and more robust due to parallel execution of boot scripts and correct dependency tracking between them. Various other changes make Debian more suitable for small form factor notebooks, like the introduction of the KDE Plasma Netbook shell.

This release includes numerous updated software packages, such as:

  • KDE Plasma Workspaces and KDE Applications 4.4.5
  • an updated version of the GNOME desktop environment 2.30
  • the Xfce 4.6 desktop environment
  • LXDE 0.5.0
  • X.Org 7.5
  • OpenOffice.org 3.2.1
  • GIMP 2.6.11
  • Iceweasel 3.5.16 (an unbranded version of Mozilla Firefox)
  • Icedove 3.0.11 (an unbranded version of Mozilla Thunderbird)
  • PostgreSQL 8.4.6
  • MySQL 5.1.49
  • GNU Compiler Collection 4.4.5
  • Linux 2.6.32
  • Apache 2.2.16
  • Samba 3.5.6
  • Python 2.6.6, 2.5.5 and 3.1.3
  • Perl 5.10.1
  • PHP 5.3.3
  • Asterisk 1.6.2.9
  • Nagios 3.2.3
  • Xen Hypervisor 4.0.1 (dom0 as well as domU support)
  • OpenJDK 6b18
  • Tomcat 6.0.18
  • more than 29,000 other ready-to-use software packages, built from nearly 15,000 source packages.

Debian 6.0 includes over 10,000 new packages like the browser Chromium, the monitoring solution Icinga, the package management frontend Software Center, the network manager wicd, the Linux container tools lxc and the cluster framework Corosync.

With this broad selection of packages, Debian once again stays true to its goal of being the universal operating system. It is suitable for many different use cases: from desktop systems to netbooks; from development servers to cluster systems; and for database, web or storage servers. At the same time, additional quality assurance efforts like automatic installation and upgrade tests for all packages in Debian’s archive ensure that Debian 6.0 fulfils the high expectations that users have of a stable Debian release. It is rock solid and rigorously tested.

Starting from Debian 6.0, the Custom Debian Distributions are renamed to Debian Pure Blends. Their coverage has increased as Debian 6.0 adds Debian AccessibilityDebiChemDebian EzGoDebian GISand Debian Multimedia to the already existing Debian EduDebian Med and Debian Science pure blends. The full content of all the blends can be browsed, including prospective packages that users are welcome to nominate for addition to the next release.

Debian may be installed from various installation media such as Blu-ray Discs, DVDs, CDs and USB sticks or from the network. GNOME is the default desktop environment and is contained on the first CD. Other desktop environments — KDE Plasma Desktop and Applications, Xfce, or LXDE — may be installed through two alternative CD images. The desired desktop environment may also be chosen from the boot menus of the CDs/DVDs. Again available with Debian 6.0 are multi-architecture CDs and DVDs which support installation of multiple architectures from a single disc. The creation of bootable USB installation media has also been greatly simplified; see the Installation Guide for more details.

In addition to the regular installation media, Debian GNU/Linux may also be directly used without prior installation. The special images used, known as live images, are available for CDs, USB sticks and netboot setups. Initially, these are provided for the amd64 and i386 architectures only. It is also possible to use these live images to install Debian GNU/Linux.

The installation process for Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 has been improved in various ways, including easier selection of language and keyboard settings, and partitioning of logical volumes, RAID and encrypted systems. Support has also been added for the ext4 and Btrfs filesystems and — on the kFreeBSD architecture — the Zettabyte filesystem (ZFS). The installation system for Debian GNU/Linux is now available in 70 languages.

Debian installation images may be downloaded right now via BitTorrent (the recommended method), jigdo or HTTP; see Debian on CDs for further information. It will soon be available on physical DVD, CD-ROM and Blu-ray Discs from numerous vendors, too.

Upgrades to Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 from the previous release, Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (codenamed Lenny), are automatically handled by the apt-get package management tool for most configurations, and to a certain degree also by the aptitude package management tool. As always, Debian GNU/Linux systems may be upgraded painlessly, in place, without any forced downtime, but it is strongly recommended to read therelease notes as well as the installation guide for possible issues, and for detailed instructions on installing and upgrading. The release notes will be further improved and translated to additional languages in the weeks after the release.

About Debian

Debian is a free operating system, developed by thousands of volunteers from all over the world who collaborate via the Internet. The Debian project’s key strengths are its volunteer base, its dedication to the Debian Social Contract and Free Software, and its commitment to provide the best operating system possible. Debian 6.0 is another important step in that direction.
