...
The OP had a problem with a USB parallel port, my old fashioned serial setup is working fine :-)
Actually it is a problem of hardware, drivers: the hardware seems to be geared to usb <-> parallel solutions for printer and therefore also the drivers seem to be missing the parts which are needed for the DCF77 Conrad Parallel clock. E.g. the DeLock adapter makes the following entry in the logfiles when attaching to USB: Aug 29 00:59:39 mymachine kernel: [13805.322787] usb 2-1.4.7: new full speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd Aug 29 00:59:39 mymachine kernel: [13805.408698] usb 2-1.4.7: New USB device found, idVendor=0fe6, idProduct=811e Aug 29 00:59:39 mymachine kernel: [13805.408703] usb 2-1.4.7: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Aug 29 00:59:39 mymachine kernel: [13805.408706] usb 2-1.4.7: Product: IEEE-1284 Controller Aug 29 00:59:39 mymachine mtp-probe: checking bus 2, device 6: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.4/2-1.4.7" Aug 29 00:59:40 mymachine mtp-probe: bus: 2, device: 6 was not an MTP device Aug 29 00:59:40 mymachine udev-configure-printer: add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.4/2-1.4.7/2-1.4.7:1.0 Aug 29 00:59:40 mymachine udev-configure-printer: device devpath is /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.4/2-1.4.7 Aug 29 00:59:40 mymachine udev-configure-printer: Device vendor/product is 0FE6:811E Aug 29 00:59:40 mymachine kernel: [13805.497056] usbcore: registered new interface driver usblp But I do not know how I get the /dev/pcfclock0 /dev/pcfclock1 /dev/pcfclock2 working together with this. mknod -m 444 /dev/pcfclock0 c 181 0 mknod -m 444 /dev/pcfclock1 c 181 1 mknod -m 444 /dev/pcfclock2 c 181 2 was the way when using it with the older parallel plugin and the pcfclock program (which is currently pcfclock-0.44-250.1.2.x86_64.rpm). One suggested NTP - I know that already. ;-) But I want the former solution to work somehow. Other ways: more expensive hardware like e.g.: http://www.lindy.de/netzwerk-timeserver/20988.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
