March 2007 - Udpcast

Darwin build fixes patch
by Devin Bayer 18 Apr '07

Hello. Thanks for developing udpcast. It almost compiles on my mac. But I have to make a few small changes. 1.) the linker doesn't support the -Wl,-warn-common option 2.) what is malloc.h? It isn't needed. 3.) struct ifreq is variable size, so we must use _SIZEOF_ADDR_IFREQ (), not pointer arithemetic 4.) some endian issues Thanks, Devin Bayer

File "/lib/modules/2.6.20.4udpcast/modules.pcimap" not found
by Jeffrey Queisser 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

Hello, I built an initrd image from Cast-o-matic last night, and I received the following errors on start: File "/lib/modules/2.6.20.4udpcast/modules.pcimap" not found (No such file or directory) then modeprobe: cannot parse modules.dep Using the busybox terminal, I saw that /lib/modules/2.6.20udpcast exists - so it seems like there's a mismatch (as initrd is referencing 2.6.20.4). I am using the latest available udpcast kernel (from the RPM).. any thoughts? Are the kernel & cast-o-matic out of step? Thanks, -Jeff

Re: [Udpcast] a bug from UDP-sender.exe under WinXP?
by Haiwei Sun 26 Mar '07

Dear Mikes: Thanks for your suggestion. I tried to turn off my firewall. However, it comes out with the same error. Could we fix port to 5004 only to all receiver, So that all receiver can access the same IP:Port to get the same data? Best Regards, Haiwei > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael D.

I have a cluster where the nodes have 2xSCSI disks using Adaptec AIC 7899 SCSI v2.57S7. I cannot make udpcast recognize the disks to start clonning. I haven't found the driver in udpcast cd either. Any ideas? -- Silvio Bandeira

Include a new SATA module
by Daniele S. Jacinto 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Hello, First of all, I want to thank the UDPCast ... it's wonderfull! I would like to know how I can include a new SATA module in CD boot image. I have an ASUS A8V-VM but the SATA-VIA module in UDPCast didn't recognize my hard disk. I did a "mount -o loop udpcd-complete.iso image" but I didn't find a place to add the new module. Thanks for your help! Daniele -------------------------------------------------------------------- (0_ // \ Don't worry, be happy! ... Use Linux!

Question/request for a new option
by Mahmoud Hanafi 23 Mar '07

23 Mar '07

Has there been any request/discussion for allowing clients to join a multicast session mid stream. The idea would be for a client to join mid way through a transfer and then catch any missing packets on the next transfer. Thanks, Mahmoud Hanafi --------------------------------- Expecting?

I'm using UDPCast in a school environment and love it! However, when using it on some brand new Toshiba laptops with XP, SP2, it stops with the message PCI: Probing Hardware. Do the latest versions of UDPCast take care of this issue? I would love a solution. Thanks! Glenn Hervieux Technology Integration Specialist Butteville Elementary School
