Bug 76868 – globespan-adsl : ut: command not found

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Giovanni De Gasperis 2005-01-06 02:36:25 UTC]

I did:
emerge globespan-adsl

after configuring the Aethra usb adsl modem with eciconf.sh
The command from shell
startmodem

fails with many errors like:
ut: command not found

Maybe is missing some package to emerge? 
Should portage take care of dependences?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge globespan-adsl
2. eciconf.sh
3. startmodem

Actual Results:  
starmodem script fails



kernel: 2.6.7-epia

I've looked into files installed by 0.9 and 0.10 and didn't found any references to an executable called "ut".

Please try to re-emerge globespan-adsl and, if you continue to receive such errors, post here relevant information (output of startmodem, your configuration file, etc).

The startmodem script is filled with "cut" commands; perhaps there's a syntax 
error or some such?  Just a thought (without coffee yet)...

Unfortunately, I don't have the hardware to test this right.

this is from /usr/bin/startmodem:
[code]
if [ -s "$CONF_DIR/eciadsl.conf" ]; then
        vid1=`grep -E "^[ \t]*VID1[ \t]*=" "$CONF_DIR/eciadsl.conf" | tail -n -c -1 | ut -f 2 -d '=' | tr -d " \t"`
        pid1=`grep -E "^[ \t]*PID1[ \t]*=" "$CONF_DIR/eciadsl.conf" | tail -n -c -1 | ut -f 2 -d '=' | tr -d " \t"`
        vid2=`grep -E "^[ \t]*VID2[ \t]*=" "$CONF_DIR/eciadsl.conf" | tail -n -c -1 | ut -f 2 -d '=' | tr -d " \t"`
        pid2=`grep -E "^[ \t]*PID2[ \t]*=" "$CONF_DIR/eciadsl.conf" | tail -n -c -1 | ut -f 2 -d '=' | tr -d " \t"`
        mode=`grep -E "^[ \t]*MODE[ \t]*=" "$CONF_DIR/eciadsl.conf" | tail -n -c -1 | ut -f 2 -d '=' | tr -d " \t"`
[/code]

What is supposed to do the 'ut' command?
Should I replace it with 'cut'?

As I said, there are no such lines in startmodem, neither in ver 0.9 nor ver 0.10.
The lines you are reffering to have "cut" instead of "ut".

Please re-emerge globespan-adsl and tell me if the problem is solved.

seems the problem has been solved with re-emerge
