on the target host (openbsd), i disabled the getty: $ sudo cat /etc/ttys|grep tty00 tty00 none unknown off #tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt220 on secure
on the xubuntu host, there was no getty on any ttyS: $ sudo pstree -ac|grep getty |-getty -8 38400 tty4 |-getty -8 38400 tty5 |-getty -8 38400 tty2 |-getty -8 38400 tty3 |-getty -8 38400 tty6 |-getty -8 38400 tty1 | | |-grep --color=auto getty on the target host, i have: $ sudo od -t x1 /dev/tty00 on the xubuntu host, i'm trying to send: $ sudo echo -n '1234567890'>/dev/ttyS0 i usually get nothing, except "0000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00" followed by "*"; this only happens if i freshly started 'od' on the target host, and i try to send something twice. after that, the line stays dead. i can not provoke this in any other way, than starting 'od' and sending something. i don't have a breakout box and i suck at soldering, but i will ask around. thanks for your time! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094278 Title: cu doesn't connect properly to a serial console To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/uucp/+bug/1094278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
