Re: [hylafax-users] faxgetty doesn't answer



Hello all....

After 24 hours of running with out touching it, modem it's still ok, and presents no problems, so I'm assuming that there is no linux issue with it, and the issue is due to faxgetty I will put it to run again faxgetty and keep an eye on it for a while to see what happens

yes, faxaddmodem ran just fine.... another behaviour that I'm looking at is that either after 2 or 3 miss-received faxes (nothing sent, just answered) i lose the modem, or after several hours (more than 8 hours) of inactivity running faxgetty I also lose the modem, I will take a look at a possible inactivity shutdown of devices, but I don't have any of this configured on the system. I'm letting the modem sit without faxgetty running on it for 24 hours and running again minicom to see if it's a power issue, I will report tomorrow on what happened on this.

Well, you need to figure out why faxgetty is unable to communicate with the modem. I assume that faxaddmodem ran fine for you?

Yes, it works ok.. but I need to remove faxgetty from inittab and restart
machine to be able to access it, because it will not let go of the device
even with a init q (after removal) and kill -9 <pid>

Hello all!

I have a problem, I'm experimenting with deploying a hylafax installation but I've runned into a problem.

I installed version 4.2.1-1fc3 (RPM from hylafax.org) on a fresh installed machine with FC3 with a PCMCIA modem ActionTec Datalink V90 LK (http://www.actiontec.com/support/modems/dlv90lk.php) modem gets detected by linux perfectly with no problems at boot time and creates device (ttyS3), it's already configured on inittab to launch (mo:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS3), hylafax starts as expected:

Mar 1 17:53:01 fax hylafax: faxq startup succeeded

Mar 1 17:53:15 fax FaxGetty[2442]: MODEM AEIGFM560LKNF1 AEIGFM560LKNF1/p052099f



faxstat reports the modem as ready


[root@fax ~]# faxstat
HylaFAX scheduler on fax.intranet.acorporativa.com.mx: Running
Modem ttyS3 ((55)5393-8720): Running and idle
[root@fax ~]#

but faxgetty never answers incomming calls, i've straced faxgetty's process and got this:

select(9, [5 8], [], [8], {29, 999096}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1109723926, 489798}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 490670}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 491240}, NULL) = 0
select(9, [5 8], [], [8], {0, 636}) = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1109723926, 494599}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 495321}, NULL) = 0
open("/var/lock/LCK..ttyS3", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
gettimeofday({1109723926, 496569}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1109723926, 496789}, NULL) = 0


and it keeps looping and looping, if I make a call to the fax, it will still be the same.

When it's on the right mood and after several reboot's it will answer the phone, but if you call it and no fax is sent, it will go to this same mode again. Also if it's running normally and I restart the hylafax service /etc/init.d/hylafax restart it will hang this same way.

I've commed to see that it's a uucp locking problem, but haven't found a way to fix it.

any ideas on what's going on? did I do something wrong?


Can you set


ServerTracing: 0xFFF

in your modem config file, restart faxgetty, and then send the FaxGetty logs in your /var/log/messages after you call the line?

Thanks,

Lee.
