So all....

All these postes is what I have done, since the start, on/with UBUNTU 
10.04

So, I pulled out my internal HDD containing the 10.04 OS and put in 
Isadora (Mint9) OS.

I made myself this to follow:

"NETMD:

German Wiki: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Baustelle/NetMD

Link: 
https://wiki.physik.fu-berlin.de/linux-minidisc/doku.php?id=installingonubuntu

Steps:

Put in software source: deb 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/glaubitz/linux-minidisc/ubuntu lucid main
            and                       deb-src 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/glaubitz/linux-minidisc/ubuntu lucid main

Install 'qhimdtransfer' and 'python-netmd' in package manager

(To use python-netmd, you will have to open a terminal window 
(“Applications”→“Accessories”→“Terminal”) and use the commands 
netmd_list to list, netmd_download to download tracks to NetMD, 
netmd_dump to copy tracks from a NetMD over analog connections and 
netmd_upload to upload tracks from a standard MD with the MZ-RH1: )

To allow lsusb (not sure which is correct yet): sudo echo 
ATTRS{idVendor}==054c, ATTRS{idProduct}==0186, MODE=0664,GROUP=plugdev 
> /etc/udev/rules.d/netmd.rules

                            or

sudo echo ATTRS{idVendor}==\054c\, ATTRS{idProduct}==\0186\, 
MODE=\0664\,GROUP=\plugdev\ > /etc/udev/rules.d/netmd.rules

                            or

sudo echo "ATTRS{idVendor}==\"054c\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"0186\", 
MODE=\"0664\",GROUP=\"plugdev\"" > /etc/udev/rules.d/netmd.rules



Permission will/might be denide: Thus go though root (Logging in as 
another user)

Root account: ROOT IN Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
Enabling the root account


Enabling the root account is rarely necessary. Almost everything you 
need to do as administrator of an Ubuntu system can be done via sudo or 
gksudo. If you really need a persistent root login, the best 
alternative is to simulate a root login shell using the following 
command...

sudo -i

To enable the root account (i.e. set a password) use:

sudo passwd root

Use at your own risk!


Logging in to X as root may cause very serious trouble. If you believe 
you need a root account to perform a certain action, please consult the 
official support channels first, to make sure there is not a better 
alternative.

Re-disabling your root account


If for some reason you have enabled your root account and wish to 
disable it again, use the following command in terminal...

sudo usermod -p '!' root
(Please don't use this to become root, see further down in the page for 
more information about that.
sudo -i -u <username>
For example to become the user amanda for tape management purposes.
sudo -i -u amanda
The password being asked for is your own, not amanda's.) "

VOILA!      So..... After this I went through the steps in Isadora and 
all went well!!!!!!! I had to inter netmd_dump as root though.... It 
still denied me access as normal user.

SOOOO.... Michael..... I am now going to go back to Ubuntu, try your 
new entries and see if it allows me in as a normal user (I have to say, 
in 10.04 I still couldn't even do it in root! This said, I have been 
able to netmd_dump in Isadora -Mint9-.... IT COPIED ALL MY 
RECORDINGS!!!!! But, another help from you!

It says that the default file is "alsa" great! Where the heck is that 
file at?

Brian E. GEORGE

Yes, that command does not work the way Adrian wants it, because the
output redirection is not established as root. Try the following two
commands instead:

echo "ATTRS{idVendor}==\"054c\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"0186\",
MODE=\"0664\",GROUP=\"plugdev\"" > /tmp/netmd.rules
sudo mv /tmp/netmd.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/netmd.rules
