NI on Opensuse 12.1

[tran.antony]

Hi guys

I'm new to linux so I probably don't know most of the tips and tricks for getting things to work, but I have been combing the  discussion board for possible solutions since it seems to be quite a common problem.

Some general information:

-I am trying to connect the NI USB-6218 device

-I have installed OpenSuse 12.1 on a macmini

linux-z992:/usr/lib # uname -a

Linux linux-z992.site 3.1.0-1.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 25 16:56:34 EST 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

So, the problem is that I am getting the following error.

linux-z992:/usr/lib # lsdaq

--------------------------------

Detecting National Instruments DAQ Devices

Found the following DAQ Devices:

libnipalu.so failed to initialize

Perhaps you need to run updateNIDrivers

/usr/local/bin/lsdaq: line 7:  4176 Aborted                 /etc/natinst/nidaqmxbase/bin/daqmxbase_listdevices

--------------------------------

-updated the drivers using updateNIDrivers command with no errors

-uninstalling and reinstalling the NI software

I have tried the following, both together and in isolation.

- ensuring that usbfs is mounted using the following command

mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb -o devmode=0666

Tried the work around for the 4GB memory issue by putting the following into the "/boot/grub/menu.lst" file

memmap=60G$0x100000000

(even removed one of the ram chips at one stage to see if it would help)

- Run the kernals as seen below,

linux-z992:/usr/lib # lsmod | grep ni

nipalk               1228312  0

nikal                  82678  1 nipalk

so i can confirm that both nipalk and nikal are both running when this error is occuring

For more information here is what happens when I run dmesg

[  677.916081] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0

In the above I connected and disconnected the DAQ

- running the following command in /usr/local/lib

linux-z992:/usr/local/lib # ls -l libnipalu.so

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Mar 25 17:11 libnipalu.so -> /usr/local/lib/libnipalu.so.2

doesnt show what i SHOULD be getting according to:

http://forums.ni.com/t5/Multifunction-DAQ/cannot-found-libnipalu-so/td-p/367371

so that might be where the problem is.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Well, it looks like nipalk is loaded.. I'm not sure why libnipalu.so doesn't load. Could be:

* /dev/nipalk dev node to connect to nipalk wasn't created correctly.. This is created nipalk script under /etc/init.d.. I think the script does other things too.. check if the script was running correctly

* There could be other things that might fail. Unfortunately we don't have very good log to indicate what can fail. But 'strace lsdaq' might give hint of what failed.. assuming it failed when we do a system call.

But the bigger problem I see here relates to USB. DAQmx won't work with USB devices due to GPL

You can use daqmxbase, but not daqmx.

What does dmesg report?

It appears as though you were able to install the driver, but perhaps some ot its run-time dependencies were missing. Another way to confirm that is by using niSystemReport at the terminal: /usr/local/bin/niSystemReport

Hi irwan

Sorry for the delay in reply, I've been away for the Easter long weekend.

What I installed was nidaqmxbase-3.6.0, which according to the NI website was the software which was compatible with my NI USB-6218 device, I also checked the readme to be sure.

There is no nipalk script underneath /etc/init.d/.. but there is a nipal script which I ran which didnt give any errors.

I've attached the output for strace lsdaq, it looks like quite a number of files are missing?

linux-z992:/etc/init.d # strace lsdaq

Don't worry about the file-not-found errors from strace output.. those were the loader trying to find some sharedlibs in standard locations.

Unfortunately the strace output isn't quite useful. Looks like it tries to load nipal from a child process, and strace didn't trace into the child, unless you use -f.

So try: strace -f lsdaq

the output might be large. You can compress it and post it here.

Also, might be useful if you compress the whole output of systemReport script and post it here. Don't worry about its error message.

Hi irwan

I've provided the two reports you have asked for in the following dropbox link. I wasnt sure how to compress it and post it here.

The relevant line from strace is the line below:

6935  open("/dev/nipalk", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

My guess is that /etc/init.d/.../nipal script daemon didn't run or something prior to lsdaq. That script is the one creating the /dev/nipalk dev node.

This also is related to this print from dmesg:

[    8.460207] systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit nipal.service, ignoring: Unit nipal.service is masked.

[    8.460233] systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit nipal.service, ignoring: Unit nipal.service is masked.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about systemd to troubleshoot further.. The next step is to get nipal service script to run.

Chatted with other linux devs, someone said:

he'll likely need to unmask and enable nipal.service

systemctl unmask nipal.service

systemctl enable nipal.service

systemctl start nipal.service

something like that.

We probably need to look into how nipal.service got masked. We don't know how you got into this situation.

Hi irwan

I ran the nipal script but the /dev/nipalk node wasn't present after running it.

I tried running the commands youve listed but get an error in the enable step:

linux-z992:/etc/init.d # systemctl unmask nipal.service

linux-z992:/etc/init.d # systemctl enable nipal.service

nipal.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig.

Executing /sbin/chkconfig nipal on

insserv: warning: script 'nipal' missing LSB tags and overrides

linux-z992:/etc/init.d # systemctl start nipal.service
