Looks like the M1689 is a highly integrated design, combining the north
and south bridges in a single chip. Near as I can tell, ASUS adds only
a Realtek 8201CL 10/100 ethernet chip (aside from CPU and RAM, of
course), and maybe a video accelerator chip -- some Nvidia thing?

The chip's new enough that I have no data for it on my Linux SATA page
(http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html), but other pages
sound a little discouraging. Of course, sound (Realtek chip?) and
video drivers will also be a concern.

I suspect that your disk has died. Your disk manufacturer has a diagnostic
CD on their website which will allow you to examine the SMART status of
your drive. There are also Linux smart tools that can examine the SMART
status. There is a project that puts the Linux SMART tools on a floppy
which sounds convenient assuming your machine has a floppy drive,

Then, boot in rescue mode, remove PCMCIA service from boot time and
reboot. When the system is up, try to launch that service by hand and see
what happens.

Help: trying to install debian on an old gateway laptop

That certainly is very ODD - it could either be some messed up Boot

Official WinXP CD won't Boot either)...OR... it's some sort of
Winblows/Sony/Symantec _Rootkit_ (find "RootKitRevealer" from
<www.sysinternals.com>) -or- "Blacklight" from
<http://www.f-secure.com/blacklight/cure.shtml>. D/l and run either on
the Win OS.

Again - perhaps some weird BIOS settings
I found a lot of info about _your_ Gateway 9100 solo Laptop at
<http://search.support.gateway.com/iphrase/query?attr1=&attr2=&command=text&text=solo+9100>

While trying to Boot from DVD drive - Do you happen to have;

** a floppy Disk inserted into the floppy Drive ?
(Remove it)

** USB device plugged in ?
(Remove it)
 
 

sorry - i don't know what Jigdo is...
Use MD5Summer or similar -- you'll need to obtain the CORRECT (iso.md5)
file for the distribution you're using....Run that against the ISO
image you originally D/l...it's worth a shot. However, realize the XP
CD is NOT booting as well :-(, so likley not a bad ISO issue. Again,
for whatever ODD reason, you could try a ReBurn of ISO, at slower Burn
speed. Those older DVDROM drives can be real fickle -- I know, I have
an old Toshiba DVD-ROM III from 1998
 

Newbie needs help with setting computer name

Posted: 18 Jan 2006 09:40 AM PST

On 18 Jan 2006, in the Usenet newsgroup comp.os.linux.setup, in article
<googlegroups.com>, jeanluc wrote:
 

Are the addresses that the two computers get "public" (something in the
70.160.0.0 - 70.191.255.255 range as you appear to be using Cox), or
are they in the RFC1918 range (such as 192.168.x.y)?
 

You'd have to get the DHCP router to hand out fixed addresses (based
on the MAC address), or have it act as a name server.
 

Probably. What does '/bin/hostname' tell you?

[compton ~]$ /bin/hostname
compton.phx.az.us
[compton ~]$
 

[compton ~]$ whatis dig dnsquery host nslookup
dig (1) - send domain name query packets to name servers
dnsquery (1) - query domain name servers using resolver
host (1) - look up host names using domain server
nslookup (8) - query Internet name servers interactively
[compton ~]$

Notice that these tools all query a name server - possibly that of your
router, cable modem, or ISP - look at the contents of /etc/resolv.conf
to find which. Your problem is much the same as you asking to talk to
'jean' or even 'jeanluc'. jean WHO? There are hundreds of thousands
of people named 'jean', just as there are probably thousands of computers
named 'linux'.
 

A lot depends on how you are setting up the network. Unruh suggests
setting the router to provide static addresses, and putting hostnames
in the host files (/etc/hosts on Linux, on XP, it is PROBABLY in
C:\\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\HOSTS (not HOSTS.SAM). In both cases,
you want the IP address, followed by the FULL name and optionally the
short name (192.168.1.1 jeanluc.picard jeanluc). Your DHCP server may
be defining the name (as opposed to the system defining it). In SuSE,
the name is set from the /etc/rc.conf file. You _may_ be able to set
the DHCP server to act as a DNS server.

Installation of Kubuntu (or other debian) -> keyboard hangs up

I can only tell that it is 'CW65 series' [and on Intel chip, but not sure]

I chcecked that kbd-config is ok. Keyboard hangs up when i use 2.6
kernel. On 2.4 kernel it's working fine, no matter what distro i use.

So i'm now searching linux with eagle-usb packet and 2.4 kernel.
Anyone knows any? :)

configuring DHCP and NFS - need an opinion

dhclient (as example) will permanently retry to obtain a lease after
configurable retry time.
 

No need; use ifplugd (again as example) to check for link presence; it in
turn starts dhclient that tries to obtain address; and dhclient may
optionally start a user-defined script after it obtained a lease. It is
useful for services that do not retry (like ntpd - I use it to restart
because otherwise it fails to resolve server names and drops them).
 

Exactly.

Apache and Proxy

It seems that you miss some other Proxy directive in your configuration
file, probably you'll have to add a Proxy on and maybe ProxyVia off before
your ProxyPass directives.

FC4: CD Not Found - The Fedora Core CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives

Posted: 16 Jan 2006 08:36 AM PST

I had missed the .dicsinfo file in the CDROM which tells about the
Fedora install directories(thanks to rodrigo from the anaconda dev list
for this info). Thanks Nico your approach worked on reducing no of
compare factors, and last i needed a CD :)

For more details for this look at cdinstall.c from the anaconda source
tree, it tells exactly what all it does when it is doing a CD install.

usb drives no longer mount after usb ext3 mount

Posted: 15 Jan 2006 11:27 PM PST

An update:

I found that the linux ext3 disk in ths usb enclosure had come loose.
That is what caused at least some of the problems. After reseating
the drive, it auto-mounted and I got more stuff off.

But I'm still having trouble with regular vfat drives mounting
at all. The system hangs when logged in a root as well
as a normal user.

It did work once under root. It creates fstab entries as
/dev/usbdisk and mounts the device, not via a label,
so I don't think labels are the problem.

Help: Fiefox wont resume ftp downloading (partial) 2.6 GB file

Posted: 15 Jan 2006 09:22 PM PST

Michael Badt wrote: 

I believe that you have an issue calculating the offset, but it may not
be in in the client. Just because the server can deliver a file > 2GB
doesn't mean it knows how to do the math correctly to set the offset to
continue. 

See the "-c" option of wget, it describes resuming a download started
with another client. I don't know if wget is using 64bit access, I
believe it is because I downloaded a DVD, but didn't resume the D/L.

LVM volume groups and booting

Posted: 14 Jan 2006 05:51 PM PST


"Michael Heiming" <michael+heiming.de> wrote in message
news:heiming.de... 

This is a common approach: I dislike it because I find the "rm -rf /"
accident to be a far more common way to mess up a system than hardware
failures.

Instead I find it very helpful to do something like this:

[ Build partitions on second disk with necessary partition names changed
for mirrored disk. ]

mount /dev/[spare-root-partition] /mnt/secondroot
rsync -aHx -delete / /mnt/secondroot
remount -o ro /mnt/secondroot

[ Repeat as necessary for other partitions. ]
[ Set up a cron job to do the mirroring nightly during idle time. ]
[ Set up a second cron job for dumping live databases to local files
first, so those get copied correctly too. ]

That leaves your old filesystem copied, read-only, in an immediately
accessible location for recovering lost files. You may lose a day's recent
updates, but you have a copy of the far more likely lost files from
yesterday.

Mandrake 8.2 Install Problem - Siig

Second the motion: A little googling on "siig CN2487 linux" turned up
http://archives.mn-linux.org/pipermail/tclug-list/2004-March/009721.html ,
stating that as of _then_, March 2004, the proper driver support for
the underlying chipset had finally been merged into 2.6.x kernels
(specifically, 2.6.3). So, definitely Mandrakelinux 8.2 has _way_ too
old an installation kernel.
