Flash/jump drive support for Linux

On most "modern" distros there's some sort of media-monitor

NB: There are some older flash-drives that don't get along with
the new USB 2.0 controllers under Linux. They worked fine
with older controllers (UHCI), but fail if you're using the
new (EHCI?) controllers. Reportedly, they work with both
controllers under Windows, but whoever wrote the EHCI stuff
for Linux depends on features that don't work in some older
flash devices.

Can't detect a new Scsi Travan tape drive

Posted: 07 Dec 2005 06:26 PM PST

Could someone help with a quick question, I just installed a new
Adaptec Scsi card and a new Seagate Scsi Travan TapeStor 20 GB tape
drive. I was wondering if there is something special that I need to do
to get Centos Linux to detect the drive. The tape drive is set to scsi
4 and the card is set to it's default. All I did was install the card
and drive and install a scsi cable from one to the other. The drive
has power and reacts when a tape is added, just can't acces it yet!

My /var/log/dmesg file states the following

scsi0 : sata_via
ata2: no device found (phy stat 00000000)
scsi1 : sata_via

Does the scsi0 and scsi1 stuff mean that linux detected the drive. I
don't have any /dev/st* files in my /dev directory and I can't access
the drive.

Would anyone have any suggestions?


Thanks

Dave.

The grub instructions /* were */ accurate for a generic grub install.
Redhat/Fedora move things around to wherever they want in their
filesystem. They also have the habit of introducing extra confusion with
things like grub.conf instead of menu.lst. Also, I hate their use of disc
"labels" in /etc/fstab. Some things should be left in *nix form.
Thanks for the nice reminder of why life's easier if you're a /* slacker. */

For Fedora/Redhat, add an extra last step before burning the CD: duplicate
grub's configuration file to grub.conf.

# cd /iso/boot/grub
# cp menu.lst grub.conf

How can I open a .pub file under Linux ?

Bernard,

This is the filetype of Microsoft Publisher, an application that most
people receiving this file will not have. Stunning stupidity on the part
of the sender. I know of no other application including legitimate
professional desktop publishing programs that will open this.

Contact the sender and request the information be sent in a standard file
format. This is at least politically important and I'll leave it up to
you exactly how you word it. However, just to get it off my chest let
me say that I'd go on a little and say something like:

The document you have sent is not in any standard file format. It cannot
be read by any application other than the particular one you created it in
and many people do not have that program. Please resend as a standard
Postscript (.ps) or Acrobat (.pdf) file. Doing so would ensure that
anyone receiving it could read its contents.

ISA PNP broken in 2.6?

I ran mine with 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, from Mandrake 6.0 to SuSE 9.1.
Linux never had problems with it. I only changed it in the end, because my
son wanted to run Win2K with sound, on the same machine, and it wouldn't
work with the ISA card. He paid for an Ensoniq PCI card, that worked with
both OSs. The card's still good, and usable, I just don't have any ISA
slots to put it in anymore.
 

It is not PnP. That is why the IRQ has to be reserved as "Legacy ISA". If
it isn't, than any PnP device that wants the same IRQ gets it, leaving the
non PnP non-working.

runlevel 5 but no xfce

Heh, pardon, that was a typo, should've been "Windows" or, more
specifically, "win2k."

I got XFCE working, but not by the preferred method. First, I made the
faulty assumption that "yum groupinstall XFCE" would install everything
required to run XFCE, which isn't the case. First, "yum groupinstall
'X Window System'" must be run. This was the source of my original
confusion, which explains why "startx" wasn't doing anything, there not
being an X to start.

When I tried to install X, however, I kept getting an error about
encryption. As the error message was long and I didn't want to write
it down and couldn't work out how to mount a floppy it seemed more
expediant to re-install, selecting "X Window System" from anaconda (nor
could I figure out how attach a file to an e-mail).

What I wanted to do was to do a "minimal" Fedora install and then
select a few things with yum. I suppose at the end of the day it works
out, but not in the way I wanted it to.


thanks for the help,
