Message-ID: <200508022021.44854.james@grayonline.id.au> Hi All, I (finally) got my HP NC6230 delivered yesterday. Much to my disgust, but not a surprise, it booted into ex-pee-pro, gah. OK, play the game, enter my life's story, sign away my soul, blah, blah....now onto Linux! Obviously all of the 60GB drive was partitioned for NTFS. So I booted from the latest knoppix (3.9) and ran qtparted as root. Resize, commit, wait (about 15 minutes) voila! Sweet, now the NTFS partition is only 20GB; plenty. Next step was to boot from the Kubuntu 5.04 (Hoary) CD and see how far things got. To my utter amazement, everything was recognised out of the box and configured correctly. Even the Intel Pro Wireless 2200B/G (integrated via mini-PCI slot) was working. :D This machine has now got all my old lappy's data migrated over, auto-config scripts restored (roll-my-own-profile stuff coz I couldn't be bothered dicking around with all the "whereami" frufru) and everything just humming and clicking. Last step - install the ATi (X300) binary driver to get the 3D acceleration going and that's it! Even without the ATi driver, the machine is perfectly useable as a desktop-replacement. So if anyone has been wondering what makes for a painless Linux+Lappy combination, I highly recommend the HP NC6230 with Ubuntu/Kubuntu. Note though, this lappy comes standard with the evil Broadcom Wifi chipset - I ordered mine specifically with the IPW2200BG Wifi as I knew it was supported under Linux. Supoort those whose support F/OSS! Cheers, James -- You will step on the night soil of many countries. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Look at: http://www.kubuntu.org/hoary-kde-342.php There are a whole list of repositories you can use to get thelatest and greatest KDE. I don't know of any wildly up-to-date repos of OOo, but I use koffice, so I'm quite happy with the repos listed in the above page. Whenever KDE comes out with a new point release, there will seem to updated Kubuntu packages. OOo, etc. don't seem to earn the same response from the developers, which makes sense to me since it is supposed to be a KDE-centric "distribution". If you check the Ubuntu forums there have been some discussions about converting the supplied OOo rpms into debs. Somebody wrote a script that will do most of the work for you, but I've never used it. Note: this is going to get you a BETA version of OOo, not a recent stable release. Although, OOo BETAS were very stable back in the pre-1.0 days in my experience. I played around with OOo 2, and it's going to be nice, but I'm trying to stay far away from the battle that's going to erupt in the GNOME camp. Speaking of this, I think I'll go and start a major flamewar on the Ubuntu list. This should be interesting.

We're currently in upstream version freeze which means we need good reasons to put new versions in breezy.

Do you have a virtual resolution setting in your xorg.conf? A scenario where I see this could happen is you have set a virtual screen size of 1280x800 but X is unable to actually set the 1280x800 resolution later on, so it drops back to the first one it can, in this case 1024x768, but the virtual screen size setting is still in effect. Have you looked at the Xorg log to see what error messages its showing? Its probably rejecting the 1280x800 resolution for some reason, and instead taking the first one that looks good to it. A virtual setting in the screen section is actually unnecessary, just arrange your modes on the 'Modes' line so that the one you want is the first one, but keep them in wrap-around, left-to-right size order so that the Alt- +/- keys are still useful. > Also, it seems I always had Ctrl-Alt-+ and Ctrl-Alt-- to change the > desktop size in Debian (though, since I rarely used it, perhaps it wasn't > always there). How come this doesn't work in Kubuntu? Unfortunately, I customized my config early on for high-res gtf modes, so if ubuntu/kubuntu is doing something differently, I don't know what it would be. The Alt- +/- keys work fine for me, if they don't it usually means only one resolution is being declared on the 'Modes' line. If none of those modes work, Xorg will simply fall back to one that it autodetected or a VGA/VESA builtin mode, which could be the 1024x768 your seeing. Without seeing your xorg.conf, its really hard to say anything for sure. If it helps, below is the parts of my xorg.conf that handle the modes. I've truncated some stuff to prevent line breaking, and left out unrelated stuff. My modes section has more than 3 modes (starts at 320x240), but I'm just using 3 here to show the size order thing. I never specify a default nor virtual resolution, Xorg sets those based on the first (valid) mode it sees on the 'Modes' line in the 'Screen' section.

I've a similar problem on a Iiyama AU4831D 19'' TFT: 1600x1200 virt screen on 1024x768. No virtual setting in xorg.conf. Problem here is: ... (II) RADEON(0): First detailed timing is preferred mode ...

(WW) RADEON(0): Mode 1600x1200 is out of range. (WW) RADEON(0): Valid modes must be between 320x200-1280x1024 (WW) RADEON(0): Mode 1600x1200ach is out of range. (WW) RADEON(0): Valid modes must be between 320x200-1280x1024 ... The 'first detailed ...' is 1024 not 1600. Unfortunately I've found no way yet to override the 'prefered mode' :( When I connect via VGA instead of DVI 1600x1200 works fine. Booting with a Dell 2005FP or Siemens P20-1 (both 20'' 1600x1200) DVI works with 1600x1200 with the same xorg.conf. Unpluging does Monitors and plugin in the Iiyama and 1600x1200 works.

I thought kde was supposed to save its resolution. Changing the modes to: "1280x800" "1024x768", makes it come up correctly!

It WAS a little command line program that came with 6.8.2-10 Xorg that could build the modelines for you, but having updated to the latest in breezy, its now gone. :( There's still the 'videogen' proggie that does the same the thing, just a little more awkward to setup and use. > (II) RADEON(0): Panel infos found from DDC detailed: 1024x768 > (II) RADEON(0): Panel infos found from DDC VESA/EDID: 1280x1024 > (II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from Detailed timing table: 1024x768 > (II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from Detailed timing table: 1600x1200 > (II) RADEON(0): Valid Mode from standard timing table: 1280x1024 > ... > (WW) RADEON(0): Mode 1600x1200 is out of range. > (WW) RADEON(0): Valid modes must be between 320x200-1280x1024 > (WW) RADEON(0): Mode 1600x1200ach is out of range. > (WW) RADEON(0): Valid modes must be between 320x200-1280x1024 In your case, its the video card itself saying that mode is invalid, based on what its getting from the monitor via DDC. The (II) shows this mode information is coming from the hardware, not the config file. Info taken from the config file would be prefixed with (**). Sorry, not sure how to help you with this. Does the RADEON X driver have any docs? Many of the separate video drivers have their own manpages. There may be some kind of config option you can pass to it in the Device section of xorg.conf to fix this.

In future we should be able to use the backports mechanism. Currently that's not really possible because the c++ transition means the packages have to be changed for hoary.

Actually, they are, if you count Kubuntu's hoary repository. :) You just need a deb-src line for kubuntu's hoary-kde342, even though you're system is amd64 and the repo doesn't have amd64 binaries, it doesn't matter. apt repositories can be source only if you wanted that, apt doesn't care, and the source packages of course aren't platform specific. The only problem is knowing what the names of the source packages are to ask for (not easy when there are no binary packages that refer to them or are built from them). Just make sure you have the line 'deb-src http://kubuntu.org/hoary-kde342 hoary-updates main' (or a mirror), then run "apt-get source XXX" to get the source packages, where XXX is "kdebase" or "arts" or whatever. apt will accept either the names of binary packages or the name of the source package if you know it. Try using the same names as the old 3.4.0 package names, and if all else fails, you can cheat by looking into apt's repo on kubuntu.org to see the file names. To do that, point konqueror at http://kubuntu.org/hoary-kde342/pool/ then browse around for the various file names you're looking for. Once you know the layout of an apt repository, lazy cheaters will realize they could just pluck these files out of kubuntu's apt repo via kget or wget, etc, without ever using apt of course, but hey, what's the fun in that? :) From kuindersma at gmail.com Fri Aug 12 13:50:01 2005 From: kuindersma at gmail.com (Scott R Kuindersma) Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2005 09:50:01 -0400 Subject: Can't delete FAT32 files In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: > I can rename, move, copy and execute them, but can't delete.

Yes, breezy still has issues. kdebase won't compile because there's no xmkmf for example.

Cant't help with the respawning, but if the Ubuntu Live CD works for you just use that to install a "server-only" Ubuntu system, then when that is installed and net access is working, use apt to go to kubuntu with "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop". The Kubuntu CD makes it easy, but you don't actually need it to get kubuntu up and running. You can install kubuntu on top of a base ubuntu system. In fact, if space is not a problem, you can actually have both installed simultaneously, they aren't mutually exclusive.

I had a DWL-610 PCMCIA card which gave me some because I had to use ndsiwrapper but you should be home free using the prism2_usb driver. I never succeeded using any of the graphical tools but here's how I did: Edit /etc/network/interfaces. If you only have to connect to one AP its very simple (lets assume the device is named eth1): auto lo iface lo inet loopback mapping hotplug script grep map eth1 # The primary network interface iface eth1 inet static # change the following to match your network address 192.168.0.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 # wireless-* options are implemented by the wireless-tools package wireless-mode managed wireless-essid # if the key is hexadecimal just write it as is # if it's a string prefix it with "s:" # (without the quotes) wireless-key1 dns-nameservers 212.54.64.170 212.54.64.171 Save the file and run: #ifup eth1 Maybe you have to load the driver first: #modprobe prism2_usb If you want to connect to different AP's it's a bit more complicated: auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The AP iface eth1-ap1 inet static address 192.168.0.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 wireless-mode managed wireless-essid wireless-key1 dns-nameservers 212.54.64.170 212.54.64.171 # The second AP iface eth1-ap2 inet static address 192.168.1.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 wireless-mode managed wireless-essid # with a string key wireless-key1 s: dns-nameservers 212.54.64.170 212.54.64.171 Next run: #ifup eth1=eth1-ap1 or #ifup eth1=eth1-ap2 BTW: to list the available AP's run: #iwlist eth1 scan Anyways, this is how I got it to work. There are several other approaches. Google for wpasupplicant, ifplugd, iwplugd or use the Control Center module in: Internet & Network => Wireless Network (didn't work for me though) -- Med venlig hilsen Thomas Olsen From troywill1 at gmail.com Tue Aug 16 16:01:13 2005 From: troywill1 at gmail.com (Troy Williams) Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 11:01:13 -0500 Subject: Missing Shutdown and Reboot on Kubuntu.

I assume that once you log out of KDE and are back at the KDM 'login' screen that you do have shutdown and reboot options (click the icon at the bottom of the screen)?

Right-clicking on the pager, selecting Show -> Rows -> 2, fixes it, but only for the current session. I have done much searching on this, but have not found the solution.

The fonts are small and the them is very plane. I have adjusted some kde font settings etc. but it doesn't seem to be affecting these apps. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Font sizes are still tiny though, someone else suggested installing a gtk engine, at this stage my compile is failing :(.

The gtk2-engines-gtk-qt did the trick, however my rendering in Firefox still looks crap. For example the page https://www.netwealth.com.au/ has only text as links at the top of the page . . . such as "netwealth Funds" is just text and a white background, it supposed to have a blue background from memory . . . any ideas? I'm getting excited, I'm closer to having a usable beast here, if I can change a few more things I will have a competitor to Mandriva, Ubuntu seems more stable so far :). Lionel.

The fast way to get KDE on Ubuntu (which means having kubuntu) is: add your kubuntu cd to the sources using synaptic package manager (don' have gnome here, so don't remember, which menu option it is, but it must be pretty evident there). Then install the package kubuntu-desktop either via command sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or using synaptic package manager. The packages will be taken from your CD, you will be asked to insert it. You will have KDE 3.4.0, and then, if you have internet, you can update it (eg., 'sudo apt-get update' in the console window) to have the bugfixes installed. Alternatively, you can get KDE 3.4.2 (which is much better, and, if you have a fast internet); edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file to include a special Kubuntu repository, one listed here: http://www.kubuntu.org/hoary-kde-342.php and then do in the command line sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop You should get a nice kubuntu desktop, and at the boot you will be asked to choose, which desktop (KDE or Gnome) to use.

It would probably help if you'd mentioned which of the 7,000 or so newspapers called "The Sun", in the English-speaking world, you meant.

This means that when running they appear inside the panel (usually at the bottom of the screen. To make them appear, right click in an area of the panel and choose the "Add to Panel" option. (Alternatively, you can right click the KDE Menu symbol and choose "Panel Menu"then "Add to Panel"). Next choose "Applet". Kmoon should now be listed in the next menu as "Moon Phase Display", while Kweather is listed as "Weather Report". Once loaded into the panel you can right click on each of these to configure. For some unknown reason I always have problems initially with Kweather, in that after configuring any changes, they do not seem to take effect until I restart the applet (Usually by removing it from the panel then adding it back).

I got the same message several times before I realize that my home page was not located in my home directory but in my document directory, a fat32 one not automatically mounted at boot.

(for the second time also ext3 file system) 4. make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install; make install. no error message given. 5. updata menu.lst and reboot. *****----> it gives above error message. -------------------- 5-1. I tried to use mkinitrd .... and added to the menu.lst too, but it doesn't work. And here I feel quiet unclear, some people say you need it, some say you don't need it and you should even delete it in menu.lst. So, what can I do now, and the kernel-compiling is somewhat time-consuming.

Plain kernels (also called vanilla kernels) available at kernel.org are the less specialized, and they're made to suit in a wide range of computer platforms, so they have more conservative options. The policies that Linus Torvalds (and the maintainers) applies are clear: distributions should apply the needed patches to stabilize, extend and optimize the kernel behaviour. Each distribution applies several patches to make the kernel fit the software they include and the behaviour they pursuit, I only know 2 exceptions: Slackware and Linux-From-Scratch. Debian applies a set of patches that you can find in the package kernel-patch-debian-2.X.Y As Ubuntu is derivated from debian you can find the available patches: sudo apt-cache search --names-only kernel-patch Some links you should have read before asking: Beginners question on patching kernel http://kerneltrap.org/node/4811 Build your own kernel for Debian GNU/Linux http://www.holtmann.org/linux/kernel/debian.html Kernel Rebuild Guide http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/Kernel-Build-HOWTO.html Patching the kernel http://pcplus.co.uk/tutorials/?pagetypeid=2&articleid=30372&subsectionid=377 [ck] patching Ubuntu kernel http://bhhdoa.org.au/pipermail/ck/2005-March/003066.html > Later I need to install rtai and comedi onto my system, I am trying to write a device driver for a ISA interface IO card. First of all, review if any previous work has been done, there are drivers for almost all old controllers. In second term, I think you should ask in a more specialized place. I guess your driver isn't just for KDE on Ubuntu :) If you need Ubuntu, there are a lot of lists.ubuntu.com like kernel-team, ubuntu-users and ubuntu-devel where you will find much more help than here.

I have recently tried to install programs using .deb files and I have been using kpackage to install them. I am having a problem installing Debs and I am pretty sure it is my lack of knowledge that is causing the problem :) When I go to install the deb I am getting a dependency error, but the dependency itself requires the deb I am trying to install in the first place. What I did to solve this problem was install the Deb without having it check for dependencies then install the second, or other, Debs. This allows the program to work fine as I have all the packages installed, but after doing that Synaptic considers the package to be broken, probably because it thinks it does not have the dependencies, and will not allow me to do an update or install new programs.

I remember trying some kind of libflash thing that I found as a Synaptic-package (in Ubuntu ;-) too... didn't really work... I think it might work with some old or simple flash movies only. Since there's no flash plugin from Macromedia for AMD-64 and it's not opensource so others can't fix it. Here's a petition if you want to encourage Macromedia to do something about it: http://www.petitiononline.com/lin64swf/petition.html Meanwhile the solution is to install a mini-installation of the i386 system in a so called chroot-environment. In this a 32bit version of Firefox (or whatever browser you use) can be ran with which you can use flash-plugin, java, realplayer, Skype and whatever other non-64bit application you might need. There are also more packages available through Synaptic/Kynaptic in 32bit, ie. Wine which is not available in the 64bit system. Using a 32 bit chroot environment doesn't mean rebooting into an i386 installation, once installed all the applications ran in the 32bit environment run much the same way as they would outside of it... you hardly notice any difference. Since Ubuntu is more common than Kubuntu but kind of is the same might want to Google for something like: flash ubuntu 64 32 chroot howto Personally I used these instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/ showthread.php?t=24575 I had some problems with the actual installation with the flash plug- in though and had to do some small hacking on my own. It wouldn't install through the browser, and when I tried the shellscript installer it refused to install cause it thought that I was using an unknown architecture (amd64 ;-) even though I used it within the chroot-environment. Well I worked it around by hacking the script to ignore my kind of architecture. But this wasn't mentioned on the howto page, so maybe I did something else wrong which caused this... so you just try with the instructions and also remember to read peoples' comments below, since they contain some useful stuff too.

I have a Asus K8VSE Deluxe motherboard with a single SATA (boot) drive and a single CDRW+DVDROM combo drive as hda (Master on 1st IDE). Here's the relevant lines from lspci (bus ID's left out for the sake of bandwidth): $lspci Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8385 [K8T800 AGP] Host Bridge (rev 01) PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8237 PCI bridge [K8T800 South] ... IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06) The system is running a standard Ubuntu/Kubuntu AMD64-K8 kernel: $uname -a Linux frodo 2.6.10-5-amd64-k8 #1 Thu Aug 18 22:36:46 UTC 2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux However with a standard Ubuntu/Kubuntu installation hdparm would not permit me to enable DMA support for /dev/hda (the CDRW etc). As you can imagine this made buring CD's and reading/ripping CD's a real headache. *********************************************** **** A kernel recompile is NOT necessary!! **** *********************************************** You simply need to edit the /etc/modules file as follows: 1. REMOVE (or comment out) the line: ide-generic 2. Add following line *ABOVE* all of the ide-* lines (probably 1st line under the comments section): via82cxxx Now simply reboot and verify "sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hda" doesn't return an error and that /dev/hda has DMA enabled (sudo hdparm /dev/hda). Voila! To permanently configure /dev/hda with DMA support, edit /etc/hdparm.conf: /dev/hda { dma = on } And here's some keywords for google to grok: ubuntu kubuntu via cdrom DMA VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C Have fun folks :) James -- Positive, adj.: Mistaken at the top of one's voice. -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary" -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Among other problems, my network stuff was not detected when I installed Kubuntu so I can't do an online update. I downloaded the NVIDIA Video Driver Update Package to try and fix the video issues (not using hardware acceleration or Open GL). When I tried to execute the update, I received a message about it not being able to find a precompiled kernel interface. Then, it said that it would attempt to execute a compile but couldn't find "cc" which appears to be part of gcc. Can anyone tell me what to do about getting this video driver installed? If anyone has some ideas on the Marvell network stuff, I would be all ears as well. Thx. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I had exactly the same problem and fixed it before with the a similar solution like you described. Although I still have overall bad performance, which seems to be due to harddisk access (not measureable through hdparm though), this helped a lot and made me able to burn disks. Hope it will be fixed in breezy out of the box though.

The only think I can think is to remove (purge) the current (half-)installed Java and install it new from the sources above. sudo dpkg purge /var/cache/apt/archives/j2re1.4_1.4.2.01-1_i386.deb ?? or sudo aptitude purge sun-j2re (maybe complete with Tab) Not sure with the first one, because I only use the backends (apt-get / aptitude). good luck bye Thilo From james at grayonline.id.au Mon Aug 29 22:57:01 2005 From: james at grayonline.id.au (James Gray) Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 08:57:01 +1000 Subject: *FIXED* DMA Support for CDROM's on VIA 82Cxxx In-Reply-To: <200508291147.58602.chris@deadhand.com> References: <200508282312.56855.james@grayonline.id.au> <200508291147.58602.chris@deadhand.com> Message-ID: <200508300857.06479.james@grayonline.id.au> On Mon, 29 Aug 2005 19:47, Christoph Wiesen wrote: > Am Sonntag 28 August 2005 15:12 schrieb James Gray: > > *********************************************** > > **** A kernel recompile is NOT necessary!! **** > > *********************************************** > > > > You simply need to edit the /etc/modules file as follows: > > 1.

A few people have filed bugs against this for Debian, so I'm not sure how long it will take to filter through to [K]ubuntu. Maybe the Ubunutu installer team can fix this and provide it back to Debian ;) Here's hoping!
