Windows to Linux - HELP!

Posted: 31 Jan 2006 08:25 PM PST

 

For some applications it is easy to switch. There are applications for
which Linux is more complete and works better than Windows. For some
applications it is a bit more difficult, you either must force yourself
to adjust the way you work to be effective in the idiom of unix,
sometimes you must be willing to use bleeding-edge software, and
sometimes you must accept that there are situations where Linux simply
will not work, such as in the case of incompatable hardware where the
manufacturer does not want linux support to exist, or in cases where
the application you want to run is tightly bound to a particular OS,
won't run under emulation, and has no alternative.
 

Winmodem is one of those cases where you might not be able to solve the
problem at all. There are drivers for some modems, but for many,
there's no support at all, not even experimental support. AMR 'modems'
are the worst. They aren't modems at all, rather, they are an
accessory to some sound device that has a switching capability so that
it can be used on a phone line. Even worse than the DSP-based
windmodems, these aren't even related to modem devices. And the
software support does not exist.

I don't know exactly what hardware you have. Have you tried a 5.10
Ubuntu? or a late version of Knoppix? Those distros do a pretty good
job of detecting hardware, and I personally find Ubuntu to be the
overall best distribution ever for general purpose usage.

I use linux because I prefer it. For my applications, the platform has
superior features and performance to Windows. But I still have not
100% migrated (and I've been running linux since 0.99pl1). I have no
real alternative to ASIO-based digital audio/VST hosts, although some
of the experimental stuff coming out is fairly promising. The only
other issues have to do with certain types of media. For example I
have yet to see a linux-based DVD player that's any good, and even the
bad ones are so difficult to deal with that I don't bother. And there
are some applications that I run under VMWare, having no alternatives.

On that subject, I'm happy to report that the applications I run under
VMWare actually run better than the same applications on the same
machine natively under Windows. I have not come to any conclusions
about why this is, but it's true, and I was quite surprised.

I've digressed from your specific topic, and I apologize. But the idea
of a user who is very experienced in both Windows and Linux, and
experienced in computer organization in general, is very interesting to
me. None of these systems have any real mystery to me -- I've
developed applications and system level software on all these
platforms, and I'm decades into my career. So that's where my
perspective on migrating comes from.

usb sound cards + laptop?

Unfortunately the ALSA and the manufacturer idea of standard compliant can
be different. The manufacturers seem to think that "We can make it run on
Windows" is equivalent to "standards compliant". Also for some they require
a firmware upload. So once the firmware is uploaded the card will run fine,
uploading the firmware can sometimes be a chore (it used to be on 2.4
kernels and early 2.6 that the usb bus drivers had a bug making it very
difficult to upload firmware, The bus would crash if it was reset. I think
this is now solved. But it indicates that "standards compliant" may not be
the whole story)

Debian Sarge: Intermittent random crashes

Do you know if there's a document on the web that reports (almost) ALL
the possible causes of such intermittent crashes on Linux?

The situation seems extremely complicated in order to isolate the source
of this bad behaviour...

About "power supply swapping": I'm not an electrician: could you explain
me what you intend with that expression, please?

Many thanks!

Where are the config files for the VNC server ?

Sorry, I lost track.

Take a good look at that init script's contents: I suspect you need to set
the VNCSERVERS to be associated with a specific X session and username, so
that the session is associated with that user, but I can't test it from here
right now.

Linux 2.4.x - reduce size of /lib libraries in ramdisk

Ad 2: What is xconfig? About dietlibc: Search for it with your favourite
search engine. dietlibc comes with a script that compiles and links
the C files properly. You have to adjust the Makefile to use that.
Maybe you can get away with setting the CC environment variable for
make.

Ad 3: Again, a web search will lead you to it.

httpd config issue with documentroot

First - I'm not a webserver expert.

However, I do remember finding in one of the config files a list of the
files which can be offered if a bare directory it given in the URL - so when
the browser sends www.bbc.co.uk the server adds / and then any of index.htm,
index.html and anything else you care to put in this list, that it can find
in the directory at the root of the site.

It strikes me that if a stray / has crept into the list, or possibly if the
list is empty, then you could see the above behaviour being a possible
result.

As I said, I'm no expert, but I'd look at the config files very carefully.
