user login problem

deep27ak — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:05:07 GMT

Hello all

I was trying with few changes when suddenly I found that while logging my user I get some error.

Code:

# su - deepak

-bash: /sbin/consoletype: Permission denied

[deepak@server ~]$

I don't understand this error. I looked for this on google as well but tough luck.

I just added the username in

Code:

#vi /etc/security/chroot.conf

and changed permission from 700 to 755

but now reverted back everything to normal and even restarted the machine but still when i use my CLI to log in the user it returns with this error

The thing which confuses me is that on GUI the user logs in with no issues

When form field is left empty, I want the SAME PAGE but with a red warning (PHP)

resetreset — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:53:15 GMT

...on my site, if a user submits a form with entry fields blank, I want the user to get the same page, but with some warning text - "You have left this field blank" - how is this architected in PHP?

Thanks.

Can CPU write the vector address of MSI-X to generate interrupt to a PCI device

leechaotang — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:56:02 GMT

Hi,

I have a PCIe device and it supports MSI-X. I have enabled the MSI-X function in the driver.

I try to generate a fake interrupt of this device by write the vector address/data written in MSI-X entry. I write it sucessfully but the interrupt does not happen?!

May I generate a device interrupt by writing MSI-X vector address/data?

Any comment is appreciated!!

Linux Time Zone configuration with TZ environmental variable

hellolqs — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:43:04 GMT

Dear all,

One of the ways to configure Linux local time zone is via TZ environmental variable. Or, /etc/timezone.

It utilizes Posix TZ string:
EST5EDT,M03.2.0,M11.1.0 (Eastern time)

My questions are:
1. Is the posix TZ string able to (somehow) reflect which year the configuration is for?
2. If the answer of the question above is negative, will the time zone configuration, let's say EST5EDT,M03.2.0,M11.1.0, directly apply to whichever year the system time currently points to?

Thanks!

Boot failure

RhnBlack — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:24:25 GMT

When I change the system time.. this happens

"dracut warning : e2fsck returned with 4
dracut warning : /dev/disk/..n some id.. superblodk last mount time ... 'sumtime'
an error occurred during the file check
droppinf yout to a shell, the system will try to mount the file system, when you leave the shell"

When I change the system time to present date..then it boots properly.
I guess the last mount point time is creating the problem.
But guys Wat if i change the time to sumwhere in future and again change it to present day ..
and how to avoid this time constraint??

My HDD's aren't being mapped right

snatale1 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:36:18 GMT

Long story short I had 3 HDD's, now I'm down to 2. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on this machine and it's mounting the first drive as sdb and the second as sdc. Skipping sda. This is somehow stopping my first drive (Win) from booting. I get an error about it's UUID. Whats weird is if I run update-grub it will fix it, but then won't boot again the next day! So it's a morning ritual. I've compared my before and after grub.cfg's and don't see any difference but still can't figure out why the first drive isn't being called sda. But I think it has something to due with the fact this replaced my original sda (cloned). Any way to force rescan and reassign?

ntfs-3g and unsupported reparse points

raefdhaon — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:50:59 GMT

Hi all,

I need some help determining how to get ntfs-3g to handle (delete) a Windows (directory) junction. The junction(s) in question is created by malware. Ubuntu 10.04.1 will delete them no problem (ntfs-3g version 2010.3.6), despite recognizing them as 'unsupported reparse point'. Puppy Linux and xPUD both choke on them with a 'directory not empty' error. I compiled both the current ntfs-3g stable release (2012.1.15) and the Advanced release, then replaced the ntfs-3g binary and supporting libraries (libntfs-3g.so, so.83, so.83.0.0 and so.831, so.831.0.0) in both Puppy and xPUD, then remounted the drives, to no avail. Then added the updated ntfs-3g.probe, ntfs-3g.secaudit, ntfs-3g.usermap files to the list of replacements and still no results. I tried building with FUSE internal and external. I then used the /configure options --enable-xattr-mappings and --disable-posix-acls, because I noticed that was the configuration used in Ubuntu. I also tried the 2010.3.6 version files from the default 10.04.1 build. What am I missing? Do I need to replace the mount.ntfs-3g file from /sbin as well? One odd thing I noticed is that in Puppy and xPUD, after updating the ntfs-3g files, it was necessary to first access the target directory before the junction would appear visibly - Ubuntu showed it without the need to access the target first.

Problem with spanish characters while using Google API, PHP, MySql

sureshv120 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:32:58 GMT

Hello Sir/Maam,

I need some help in a problem I am having with spanish special characters. A brief summary of what I am doing first. I have written a PHP script which fetches data from Google Spreadsheet using Zend Google PHP API. This data is then put into MySql database.

$row=$Col->getText(); //getText is the Google API that returns the value in the row.
print "$row"; // I print the content

But the problem is that some spanish characters such as �er appear as ñer. Later on in the PHP code I go on to save these values in MySql. And even in the tables the same problem.Don't know where the problem is.

I tried various different things such as edit the PHP file and add:

mbstring.language = Neutral ; Set default language to Neutral(UTF-8) (default)
mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8 ; Set default internal encoding to UTF-8
mbstring.encoding_translation = On ; HTTP input encoding translation is enabled
mbstring.http_input = auto ; Set HTTP input character set dectection to auto
mbstring.http_output = UTF-8 ; Set HTTP output encoding to UTF-8
mbstring.detect_order = auto ; Set default character encoding detection order to auto
mbstring.substitute_character = none ; Do not print invalid characters
default_charset = UTF-8 ; Default character set for auto content type header
mbstring.func_overload = 7 ; All non-multibyte-safe functions are overloaded with the mbstring alternatives

Add in the below in MySql

init_connect='SET collation_connection = utf8_unicode_ci; SET NAMES utf8;'
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci
skip-character-set-client-handshake

Change Database and Table properties

ALTER DATABASE db_name
CHARACTER SET utf8
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8
COLLATE utf8_general_ci
DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci
;

ALTER TABLE tbl_name
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8
COLLATE utf8_general_ci
;

Call SETNAMES etc just after mysql open connection.

$q="SET NAMES 'utf8'";
$r=mysql_query($q);
mysql_query("SET CHARACTER SET utf8");

But nothing seems to work. Please help

How do I map an IPv4 connection to IPv6?

FireRaven — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:50:29 GMT

Hi,

I want MySQL (port 3306) to also listen on port 3306 on IPv6 - it currently only listens on IPv4 0.0.0.0:3306.

Can someone tell me the iptables rule for this?

Here is the equivilant for Windows:

Code:

netsh interface portproxy add v6tov4 listenport=3306 connectaddress=127.0.0.1 connectport=3306

TTY Console and pppd on same ttyS

yplasse — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:33:09 GMT

Depending on the presence of a file, I want to either enable pppd or set a console on ttyS3. I installed the following script code in rc.local to attempt to do it:

ADIEXEC="/home/adi/exec"
if [ -f $ADIEXEC/RECOVERY.MOD ];
then
echo --- RECOVERY mode: ttyS3 is set as Serial Console
/sbin/agetty -L ttyS3 9600 vt100
else
if [ -f $ADIEXEC/TSTNORMA.MOD ]
then
echo --- TEST NORNAL mode: ttyS3 is used for PPP link
else
echo --- NORMAL mode: ttyS3 is used for PPP link
fi
pppd
fi

When I am in 'Recovery' mode, an attempt is made to run agetty. The boot sequence hangs but I am able to log on ttyS3. Normally agetty is run with inittab.

Is there a way to enable a serial console depending on a condition like above?

Thank you, Yves Plasse.

pvscan failed to read LUN

wall wart linux to allow audio monitoring via wifi network

sneakyimp — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:26:32 GMT

I play in a band and we rent a rehearsal space in a building that also houses other bands. Occasionally, we drive over there hoping to record something and there are all kinds of other bands rehearsing so it's not quiet enough. The facility has free wi-fi so I want to set up something (cheap) which would allow me to listen via a microphone or webcam so I can tell if it's busy and/or loud before trekking over there.

I was thinking of getting one of those wall wart linux boxes and attaching a microphone or webcam to it, but have very little experience either with the little computers or with getting a USB device (like a mic or webcam) to connect to a linux box and share its data over the internet.

Because there is no fixed IP or domain associated with the wifi network at this facility, I expect I would need to write a cron script that would check in every so often with one of my servers so the wall wart could keep me apprised of its current IP address.

Beyond that, I'm kind of lost. Any advice about linux drivers for mics, etc. and how to share the audio data via internet would be much appreciated.

Java applications don't get loaded

jlinkels — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:20:08 GMT

I am running Debian Squeeze, fully updated. I have installed java packages and created a symlink to libnpjp2.so

Both Iceweasel and Opera report that the plugin is installed. The correct version is reported. I can remove and re-install Java with the expected results.

When I enter a site with a Java applet, the applet is being downloaded, but fails to run. This is the message in the Java console:

Atlantica online

5phere — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:14:26 GMT

hello there,

I apologise firstly, im completely nub to linux. I'm running ubuntu 11.04 and wine 1.3.37. Im trying to install Atlantica online but dont really have a clue how you do it. I've installed all the winetricks mentioned here on winehq website
namely
- IE7
- Dx9
-vcrun 2005
-vcrun 2008

they all installed fine... now how do i go about actually installing the game itself? ive downloaded the file from the website
done "cd Downloads" and "wine ATDownloader*"

is that correct? terminal says:

-desktop:~/Downloads$ wine ATDownloader*
Log file is being written to C:\users\jo\Temp\ATDownloaderV31408.exe.log

any help greatly appreciated - i have been googling to try to find answers but found non-specific!

**also realised the file from the official website must be a downloader not the client which is why its not working? so downloading the full client from another site.. will update when its done

Understand the multilibs packages

elvis4526 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:33:37 GMT

Hello everyone! :-D
As a slacker, I love to learn and to understand how everything works. I would like to understand how to make the multilib package. I would like to make the package myself, just for a learning experience. I read all the instructions on the alienbob websites, in the sources section, but I won't learn anything if I just do blindly what he says.
So, he says that to build multilibs packages, you need to

1) Build the multilib version of binutils, just add the --enable-multilib flag to the configure command: I understand

2) Build a statically compiled gcc: Problem.
If you add disabled-shared too the gcc build, I understand, but what does it change that the library are staticly complied? What's the point for doing this?

3) Build a bootstrap version of a multilib gcc.: This, I just don't really understand. I can't say more anything then this.

I know I could just blindly install his multilib package, but it wouldnt be enough fun!

If you have some link that explain well, apart from the alienbob website, just show me!

Thanks! :-D

I used yum to try to remove a package and it started removing everything..

jmunjr — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:31:16 GMT

I run Centos 5.7 64 bit and I needed to install pcre so I did:

"yum install pcre"

and it installed the 32 bit version - pcre.i386.

Well I wanted the 64 bit so I went to remove the previous so I did what made sense:

"yum remove pcre"

All of a sudden yum went bonkers and started making all sorts of packages "set to be erased"

By the time I looked up it showed this:

Transaction Summary
==============================================================================================Remove 438 Package(s)
Reinstall 0 Package(s)
Downgrade 0 Package(s)

Downloading Packages:
Running rpm_check_debug
Running Transaction Test

I interrupted it after 3-5 seconds or so of the "Running Transaction Test"

I then installed the 64 bit version via:

"yum install pcre.x86_64"

and it installed fine.

I don't believe anything was actually removed but I am not sure. My version of yum does not support the "history" function. :(

Anyone have any thoughts about this? Why would it install a package using "pcre" but then remove a whole bunch of stuff when removing "pcre". I understand that was a mistake and I should have entered the package name specifically, but holy cow that scared the crap out of me and I am still worried.

Any insight is appreciated.

New size too large to be expressed in 32 bits? e2fsprogs

dtd646 — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:31:22 GMT

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 and running into an issue expanding an ext4 filesystem to larger than 16 TBs. When I try to resize the filesystem using resize2fs, it gives me the error:

"New size too large to be expressed in 32 bits".

I am now aware that older versions of e2fsprogs couldn't go larger than 16 TBs but was wondering if anyone has had any luck creating a filesystem larger than 16 TB on EXT4? I know that their may have been some recent developments that allow for larger filesystems on EXT4..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Slackware64-current Xfce-4.6.2 backlight control

longus — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:21:33 GMT

Hello, all! After the last upgrade in current the last week, i loosed the backlight control with the special keys on the laptop. The problem occur only in Xfce, and there is not a problem in KDE-4.8 (alienbob's).
When i press the key to highlight one or more times, the indicator shows full light, but that is not real. The light still on its minimal level, as setted to be, and cannot be increased. Does someone experience the same problem, or can someone give an idea?
Thanks in advance!

Creating a .deb package... how to get all dependencies?

Geminias — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:45:50 GMT

I downloaded gpac's MP4Box app which I need for a toolchain. I need to convert the source of MP4Box into a .deb

There is a debian/ dir in the MP4Box source code. I see that it has the control file and all that for me.

When I run

Code:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

It gives me a list of dependencies it could not find (and therefore it didn't work.)

Code:

dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libc6-i686 (>= 2.7-10ubuntu3) libxvidcore4-dev (>= 2) libmozjs-dev (>= 1.8.1.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu1)

dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.

dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

My QUESTION is... What is the recommended way to obtain these dependencies so that the command passes? For example, I'm missing libc6-i686. I actually have libc6 installed to the latest version. I'm guessing, because my cpu is x64, that it won't install i686 since it is totally optional. Therefore, I cannot apt-get libc6-i686.

I'm a linux noob, so on a related note, does a .deb package all the dependencies into a standalone .deb? Or does it just ref the packages? If I go and dpkg -i the .deb on another system will it work out of the box? (I'm assuming it will, since that would be the point of me installing the dependencies on the host system.)

Postfix Issues

mhuber — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 21:23:11 GMT

Hello all,

This is my first post on this forum and I was hoping for some freebsd postfix help! I'm familiar with the workings of qmail/Mailscanner on Red Hat, but am new to both postfix & freebsd. I'm running Freebsd 6.4 32-bit (inherited) and am seeing this in my mailq for multiple internal transactions:

F25D03484AC 1361409 Tue Feb 7 06:13:37 @.com
(delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)
#.com@response.internal

Does anyone have any suggestion on anything to check? I googled a bit and saw that I should probably look at:

transport_map_response
and
recipient_bcc_map_response.mysql.

I have the following in recipient_bcc_map_response.mysql:
query = SELECT '%u#%d@response.internal'
FROM `autoresponse_config`
WHERE `address` = '%s'
AND `enabled` = 1

and the following in transport_map_response:

response.internal response:[127.0.0.1]:10024

both seem pretty normal. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Graph # of posts vs. membership time?

jhwilliams — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:44:43 GMT

Hi there,

It could be neat to see a graph of # of posts over time, from start of membership. I'd be curious to see at what points over the past five years I was more or less involved. Is there anything like this currently? It's definitely a fringe feature, so I'm not actually making a formal request for it -- just musing.

Live User Signed Into All tty's 1-6

steampunk — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:30:37 GMT

Why is my Live user signed into tty1 - 6?

A few details explaining the only changes I've made:

I downloaded Linux Mint 12. Burned, booted, and installed to hard drive. Performed updates. Downloaded Remastersys from repos. Remastered with updates (so I don't have to download them any more). I burn and boot the remastered updated Linux Mint 12. I log in and find that my user is logged into all the ttys 1-6. I hit Ctrl + Alt + F1-6 and try to exit with exit command, but it won't let me exit any tty.

This happend also with Linux Mint Julia. With Julia I also had my admin user signed in on boot (I can't tell this is happening on 12 yet). I can never sign out live. When I reinstall to hard disk from updated remaster, this doesn't happen. I mean, my admin is not signed at gdm prompt. And, no one is sigend into the tty's except the last one, I think F7 for xsession or whatever that is. Additionally, if I remaster with multiple accounts, those accounts are not signed in. They can sign in and out without a hitch.

What's going on with my Live session? How can I stop my Live user from being signed in automatically?

user logs in using SSH (on none standard port)
at the user prompt is typed mysql -p
user enters password
if show databases; is typed user can not see any other DB except his own, if no user DB then user only sees blank list, and can not even see the system DB's

user types create database ;
then user can only see the DB just created, and no other.
user can then edit the newly created DB, or even use drop database ; or create more but ONLY see and edit those that the user created, regardless of the name used to create the DB.

Is this possible to perform automatically, whenever a new user is created.

Editing the Arch iso

barnac1e — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:25:35 GMT

I am thinking I might edit the Arch iso as even the minimal install does not include a couple of essentials that I must have in order to bootload Arch okay. There should not be any problems that I can think of doing that but am I wrong? And for quick reference, where and what folder would that long list of software apps you see in the "select packages" section be residing on the Cd and should the applications I add be in a specific format? For example, EFI loader is just one exampe, as is a GRUB 1.99 beta file that I must have and would they them show up in the graphical interface once the new modified iso was booted?

Utility to manage DNS server

In our DNS servers, multiple sites are hosted and DNS is running on Linux server. Sometimes we have to do addition/deletion of multiple entries in DNS so it is manual work.

So i need suggestion regarding this problem which makes it easy. Is there any tool which can be used to manage DNS except Webmin utility?
Or any best practice which can be done for managing these stuffs.

SuSE 11 server - ssh/scp apparently failing at odd times - probable log locations?

EnderX — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:37:54 GMT

Our main server is running SuSE 11 (not sure exactly which version), and normally, things work well. However, at odd times, it seems to give up on the ssh/scp connections...I recognize I'm probably not explaining this well, but I'm not really sure what's going on.

The major symptom of what's happening is showing up in our remote system database replication - the perl script that does the replicating is using Net::SCP::Expect to draw the replication logs over to the remote systems from our main one. When the problem occurs, the logs show as having built, but no actual remote system can pick them up. The word 'remote' here is slightly misleading; a copy of the same 'remote' setup is present on the main system to make copies of the remote db if need be, and that also fails to pick up the logs. Running the process manually causes it to appear to freeze briefly, then issue a message on the next step saying that the expected file isn't present.

The second symptom of this is that when the problem occurs, the main server can be pinged, but cannot be reached by ssh (tried from putty on a windows xp system). The message returned is the 'connection refused' message.

I know how to 'solve' the problem - resetting the machine (full shutdown and manual restart) at the system itself will bring it back up and the problem won't be present any more. However, that doesn't protect it from the next time the problem occurs. It's that that I'm interested in tracking at the moment.

Given this, what logs are the likeliest place to start looking for why this might be happening? I don't know enough about how the various system logs are built/maintained to really know where I should be looking.

Unable to activate Mobile Broadband with nm-applet

Hi slackers,

I have a Lenovo thinkpad X200 laptop with a F3507g Mobile Broadband Module and would like to use network manager in oder to simplify my configuration.

These packages have been installed with sbopkg
Gconf
orbit2
libtasn1
mobile-broadban-provider-info
modemmanager
networkmanager
network-manager-applet

I've started networkmanager at boot and nm-applet launches well. The SIM PIN is asked and entered but i'm not able to activate the mobile broadband. When I configure the connection, the modem is correctly detected but was never able to connect with nm-applet(unable to check 'activate mobile broadband' with root or an other user).

I tried to configure a connection with wvdial and kppp and everything works perfect.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks and regards.

SSH Tunnel timeout

tsumaru — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:48:08 GMT

Hi fellow Linux users!

This one is a bit of a weird one for me so bear with me whilst I try to explain.

I am playing around with aggregating two internet connections that are different ISPs into one but I am trying to do this entirely in software (I�m a cheap git and don�t want to pay for MLPPP or other hardware/ISP bonding solutions!).

I have successfully managed to get the link up and it works as expected (http://simonmott.co.uk/vpn-bonding for details of what I have done... Apologies for the site design... lol)

My problem is, when I saturate the virtually bonded link, after a seemingly arbitrary length of time it just stops working. Both my internet connections are still up but nothing is sent down the link... it stalls. (Not even pings work).

I have tried some basic magic with tc/qdiscs but I didn�t see any noticeable improvement. I have a feeling it is relating to this article: http://sites.inka.de/~W1011/devel/tcp-tcp.html however I would like some input from some networking gurus?

Dual Wan Router with Squid

kenchix1 — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:06:21 GMT

We have an RV402 router with dual WAN and wanted to use it for load balancing. My problem is how to setup the RV042 with squid proxy. Currently, our setup is transparent proxy with a single internet connection. (2 NICs)

Network - Squid Proxy - Internet Modem 1

What I'm thinking of is something like this :

Code:

 Internet1 Internet2

       |      |   

         RV042

           |   

         Switch

        |      |

    Network  Squid

The network, squid and RV042 are in the same switch.

Assuming the network is 192.168.1.0, the proxy is .1.3, so I put a static ip address at the RV042 as .1.4.

I used proxy squid transparent routing and routed the traffic to the RV042 (.1.4). (NAT/IPtables)

The internet connections has its own static IP addresses which I also encoded in the router.

I can ping both static internet address but can't access their gateways. (so no internet)

I can't understand why the (HTTP) request aren't redirected to the Internet.

I know I'm missing something here or doing it wrong, any ideas please ?

Thanks.

raid5 re-build problems

scanray — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:08:26 GMT

I know this problem is in another forum, but I have not found the answer.

I used software raid5 several years ago, I started using 3hdx320 and now I have 5hdx1T.
I had to change the MB where the raid had failures in the MB.

After installation of the system, I connected the disks of the raid. The system disks saw and recognized them as raid5, no problem up here. I mounted the raid, I copied several configuration files, so good.
Rebooted the machine and I noticed with surprise that he was rebuilding the raid. Let him finish. No way.
At the end of the message was "No disk format."

I began to review the logs and realized that the system had reorganized the hd in another order. Well, I think that's the problem.

out these lines in syslog when the hd is recent, and recognizes the raid

I put in bold the order of the disks at the beginning and after the rebuild. As noted, the disks sda and sdb were invested in the order in the raid.
I also understand that doing the rebuild changed the position of parity and that this may be one of the reasons why it does not recognize the format of the raid. Apart from other obvious things. : D

The million dollar question is:
How I can re-create the raid with the discs in the correct order?

I have the info on the order of the disks and also the uuid.
I have not done anything because if I do a rebuild again in the wrong order I'm sure I lose everything.

I hope I can help me,
thanks

Executable cygwin script in windows

sarenace — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:57:27 GMT

Hello,
I have a cygwin command/bash script that I want to run on a group of txt files in a folder in windows. Basically, I want to make a .bat file that can be copied into the folder containing my files, and can be double clicked to open a cygwin window that will run the script from within the folder and stay open to show the output.
So if my folder is c:/stuff, I copy the bat file to c:/stuff, then double click the bat file to open a cygwin bash shell at /cygdrive/c/stuff which runs myscript on the txt files contained therein. Is this possible? and how may it be achieved.

Whenever i make a bat file in notepad containing the line c://cygwin/bin/bash.exe mycommand it opens a bash shell within that working directory but doesnt run the script, and none of the commands work.

Direct cache access (DCA) - modprobe dca

Hi,

I currently have a Intel 82580 NIC along with a Supermicro X9SCL board, a Xeon E3-1230 CPU and a C204 chipset.

I'm trying to get DCA to work, but... there's something which came up- in my mind. Does my system actually support it, given these specs?

Which component(s) must support DCA besides the NIC? The processor? The chipset?
My NIC supports DCA... but I don't really know for the remaining...

I've searched around and found little infos. There is not list of hardware supporting DCA on intel's website or anywhere else... Any help?

Moore — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:54:07 GMT

Hello,

Can anyone shed some light on this error?

The symptoms are as follows:

Shutdown my Tosh Satellite Pro on F16 with Linux 3.2.3-2.fc16.i686
Rebooted and X will not start. It pushes me to root prompt for Emergency mode.
From there I can change user and startx
But the performance and environment is not exactly as I would expect.
No services appear to run, no network. etc etc
Some GUI applications wont start.

Sometime I can get network to start.
When I do yum operations, I can see this error all the time:
"Unable to connect to dbus"

When I do a status I can see the following:

Code:

Left and Right arrow keys do not work on Fedora 16 x64 KDE

Janek566 — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:31:01 GMT

Hey guys.

I recently upgraded the kernel for the Fedora and ran into a problem. I cannot use left or right arrow keys to navigate through the text. I can't use them right now while typing, i can't use them on kword, konsole, etc. Now all other buttons work (backspace, space, up, down) and even the arrow keys on numpad (with num lock off) work but not the side arrow keys. Now i don't think this is the issue with the kernel since i chose the older one on GRUB screen and i still have the same problem. If anyone knows of config file on linux that takes care of reading state of the keys and could paste it here maybe that could solve the problem. Anyway I hope you can help me on this matter. Thanks

1920x1080 and 1280x1024 (dual head) on AGP Matrox parhelia or Sapphire Radeon HD

bennyt — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:18:18 GMT

Hi,

I'm banging my head against a daft problem because I won't let my Pentium 3 go. Running slackware 12.2 (yes it prob needs updating but has served me well for years). Gfx cards below are AGP.

Problem: I have an HD screen and a 19" screen that I want to run simultaneously. My matrox parhelia (driver courtesy of the amazing tuxx-home.at) seems not to want to run 1920x1080 AND 1280x1024 (claiming the pixel clock must be the same for each screen). Otherwise it works brilliantly and I think would do 1920x1080 dual head, if only I had two HD screens. (It does dual 1280x1024 no probs)

I also have a Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 (dual head) that just will not run properly with the catalyst (fglrx) drivers. I've updated the kernel (from my current 2.6.27.7 to 2.6.32.55) and tried various versions. The only driver that works at all (8.12 I think from the AMD website) does not run well, providing no xv playback, and incorrectly identifies my version of xorg as 7.1 when in fact it is 6.9 (though newer versions of catalyst do identify the xorg version correctly but either don't build or build and cause the system to hard crash). I'm not even sure the drivers will be fully functional on the Sapphire (proprietary) card.

Sooooo, if anyone has experience running a Sapphire Radeon card on an older build (or knows how to force the Matrox to do different resolutions, that it claims to do) I'd be delighted to hear from you!

Many thanks

ps I am considering a full OS update to 13.1 but prefer to avoid it as the aging Matrox driver will not compile and I'll be forced to either use the Radeon (which might not work anyway) or replace the system (which I could but costs more time and money, and I lose my beloved P3 :) )

While those benchmarks last week illustrated some significant performance improvements with the Ubuntu 12.04 stack -- in large part due to the switch to hard floating-point support -- the gains are not over. In fact, there are already some striking improvements if using the Texas Instruments OMAP4460 SoC as found on the PandaBoard ES.
