cause kernel panic on mine :)

the thing is -  when  i get the installer to come up , the
black page with the red debian swirl, the wireless combo works but it
stops

wait, it worked this time!

let's see if DHCP does... nope.

so, which module do i need to load? the thing is, when debian reboots without network it hangs on open_socket.
i'm hoping to open a virtual console before the istaller reboots and add the network module manually. should work, no?

Also the option of changing the legacy usb support option in the biossometimes helps.  Some systems prefer it on, some prefer it off.

Re: Ethernet problem

2005-12-19 Thread Nicholas P. Mueller
Or, if it is not a pppoe (PPP-over-ethernet) dsl modem, and you are  
not getting dhcp addressing, you will need to set your IP address  
statically.


To do this, edit the file /etc/network/interfaces with nano or  
another editor by typing:


# nano /etc/network/interfaces

as root.  You can comment out what is there with the # character at  
the start of each line and add some lines at the end similar to:



auto lo eth0

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static
   address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx


Where you can replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the appropriate addresses  
for each line which you should get from your ISP.  You may not need  
to specify a broadcast address, in which case you may skip that line.


The "auto lo eth0" line tells the system to startup the local  
loopback interface ("lo") and your network card ("eth0") at boot.


The "iface lo inet loopback" defines the "lo" interface.

The "iface eth0..." and the rest define the eth0 interface which is  
your network card.


If your PC is connected to a DSL-router instead of a dsl-modem, you  
may have DHCP, but it sounds like that is not the case.


Hope this helps ya,

Nicholas P. Mueller

Well, there's been lots of talk about it, personally I think
Ubuntu is a good thing and benefits Debian.  You might want to
read Ian Murdock's blog posts about it, it's interesting even if
it doesn't directly affect you.

I use both Debian and Ubuntu, but prefer Ubuntu on machines where
I want or need newer software and that rapid Ubuntu release cycle
- but don't want to run testing or unstable, e.g. my Thinkpad.
I'm not saying "use Ubuntu", my point is that it is possible to
use it just as you would Debian if you're willing to bash it (no
pun) into shape a bit.

it has an nvidia MAC and a Marvell MAC.  Given they use a Marvell Yukonon the A8V Deluxe, P4P800, and many others, and the A7N8X had an nvidiaMAC (forcedeth) and marvell gigabit MAC (sk98lin) it would seem odd if

 no, only one port. oddly, ifconfig -a shows en0 and en1
Of course someone with the board could simply post the PCI ids for bothports and it would then be much simpler to look it up.

[x86_64] linux 2.6.15-rc6 mplayer fails to record ALSA audio.

2005-12-19 Thread Junichi Uekawa
Hi,


With today's git tree I'm still experiencing the same problem that audio isn't 
captured with mencoder.

successful recording is done with 2.6.14-rc5, failure case is done
with 2.6.15-rc6, I'm suspecting that v4l is giving some wrong ideas
about audio information to mencoder.

Knoppix has some of the best AMD64 support there is.  I just wish
they'd upgrade their copy of qtparted so that it had a more up-to-date
version of ntfsprogs (something I'm still forced to fiddle with from

Len's install image above really does cure a multitude of problems.  I

Load sk98lin.  The A8V-Deluxe works fine here.  A8V-E Deluxe is a
different story, and I believe requires at lear 2.6.11 or 2.6.12 for the
sk98lin driver to work.  The plain A8V Deluxe works fine with much older
kernels too.

Just add sk98lin to /etc/modules to have it load at boot.

Add acpi=off to the boot options.  Seems to fix that problem on many
systems.

Also the option of changing the legacy usb support option in the bios
sometimes helps.  Some systems prefer it on, some prefer it off.

Hello all,

Anyone who can help me?
   


And where can I get this? (sorry I'm new with debian)
   


You already have it, you simply have to tell the system to load it whenever it
boots.  You do this by adding a line of text to the file /etc/modules which
contains the text 


sk98lin

To do this you have to be root as this is a protected file and then edit the 
file.


The best way to get root privilege is to use sudo, but without a network 
installing it might be tricky.  The easiest way to do this is to switch to 
a command line console (Alt-Ctrl-F1, use Alt-Ctrl-F7 to get back to your 
desktop) and log on as root using the password you set when installing.


Now be VERY careful as root can modify anything and you could destroy
your system.

Pick a command line editor you are familiar with, if you are not familiar
with any then I suggest nano.  Move to the end of the file and add in a
line as above and save it (if you are using name Ctrl-o).  Now quit the
editor (Ctrl-x for nano).  To test whether you have done it right you
will need to reboot.

If you want to test that this is really the right module before you do this
editing then you need to issue the following:-

modprobe sk98lin

Now use the ifconfig command to see if the ethernet interface is now
avavailable:-

ifconfig

If you had issued this before the modprobe then it would only have shown
details for the interface called lo.  There should now be an interface which
will almost certainly be called eth0.  If it is not there then you need to
look at the end of /var/log/syslog to look for error messages.  The easiest
way to do this is using the tail command:-

tail -n 40 /var/log/syslog

and let us know what is there that seems relevant to the driver.

Once you have an interface then what you do depends on whether there
is a DHCP server on the network.  If there is it is quite easy, otherwise it
is a little more complicated.  But get to the stage that the module loaded
correctly and then we can worry about setting up the network address etc.

David


 


Ok the module loaded correctly and works.

The PC is only connected to a DSL-modem so there is no dhcp server

What do I have to do now?

There are two network ports on that board right?  One should be
forcedeth (nvidia) and the other sk98lin (Marvell Yukon).  If only one
driver loads you may have to plug the cable into the right port for
things to work.

I think that board is one of the ones that does much better with 2.6.12
than 2.6.8 kernel.  Unfortunately the official sarge installer uses
2.6.8.  The unofficial one uses 2.6.12 and can be found here:

http://www.tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/amd64/

Might even fix the USB keyboard problem too.

Did you check the md5sum of the images after downloading but before
burning them?

Did you get CD or DVD images?  Very few programs can download the DVD
images correctly due to them being over 4GB in size.

When burned you should see lots of files and directories on the disk.
All decent cd writing software supports burning a disc direct from an
image.  Any exploding and recreating of the disc won't work.

the second screen (an LCD screen, the little inferior one) as my main
(or first, the one with the menubar) screen, and my first screen ( a
beautiful 21 inch CRT screen) as my second screen.

Is that a known feature or a plain bug? Is there a workaround for it?
 

Which driver are you using?  I don't have a lot of experience with 
Matrox cards myself, but I've heard others say that they needed to use 
Matrox' driver (instead of the one provided with xorg) to get dual head 
setups working properly.

To have ooo working with the instructions from the above webpage, I have
downgraded ia32-libs from your version (1.5-20051126) to the official
one (1.5) from testing. After that, I have OO.o working again. (Just
launched it...  I'm not a big user of office suites...).

But no more possible to install skype... It seems the current version
you have packaged needs ia32-libs 1.5-20051126... And OO.o don't work
with it:
   /usr/lib/openoffice/program/setofficelang.bin: relocation error:
   /emul/ia32-linux/lib/tls/libc.so.6: symbol _rtld_global_ro, version
   GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time
   reference

To switch between ia32-libs=1.5-20051126 and ia32-libs=1.5, I need to
do:
apt-get install ia32-libs=1.5
or:
apt-get remove ia32-libs
apt-get install ia32-libs -t experimental

Without removing ia32-libs 1.5, I can't install ia32-libs 1.5-20051126.
It says:
Setting up ia32-libs (1.5-20051126) ...

Make sure the correct ide driver is loaded for your chipset.
ide-generic can't use dma and then cpu load will be much higher and disk
access much lower.

You may have to fiddle with the initrd generating scripts if you also
use sata since it would probably only load one driver for the root disk
and let something else take care of the rest later.

This is assuming your chipset is even supported by the kernel you are
running.

You already have it, you simply have to tell the system to load it whenever it
boots.  You do this by adding a line of text to the file /etc/modules which
contains the text 

sk98lin

To do this you have to be root as this is a protected file and then edit the 
file.

The best way to get root privilege is to use sudo, but without a network 
installing it might be tricky.  The easiest way to do this is to switch to 
a command line console (Alt-Ctrl-F1, use Alt-Ctrl-F7 to get back to your 
desktop) and log on as root using the password you set when installing.

Now be VERY careful as root can modify anything and you could destroy
your system.

Pick a command line editor you are familiar with, if you are not familiar
with any then I suggest nano.  Move to the end of the file and add in a
line as above and save it (if you are using name Ctrl-o).  Now quit the
editor (Ctrl-x for nano).  To test whether you have done it right you
will need to reboot.

If you want to test that this is really the right module before you do this
editing then you need to issue the following:-

modprobe sk98lin

Now use the ifconfig command to see if the ethernet interface is now
avavailable:-

ifconfig

If you had issued this before the modprobe then it would only have shown
details for the interface called lo.  There should now be an interface which
will almost certainly be called eth0.  If it is not there then you need to
look at the end of /var/log/syslog to look for error messages.  The easiest
way to do this is using the tail command:-

tail -n 40 /var/log/syslog

and let us know what is there that seems relevant to the driver.

Once you have an interface then what you do depends on whether there
is a DHCP server on the network.  If there is it is quite easy, otherwise it
is a little more complicated.  But get to the stage that the module loaded
correctly and then we can worry about setting up the network address etc.

When you say you're new with Debian, do you mean Linux in general or
just the Debian distribution? 

The sk98lin module should be included with the stock Debian kernel on
your system. 

You can type "modprobe sk98lin" at the root prompt to confirm this. If
the module isn't available you'll get a "FATAL: Module x not found"
error. 

Anyway, adding a module that doesn't exist to /etc/modules won't cause
any problems, other than a "Module x not found" error on bootup.

HTH,

Adam.

Re: Problems installing on AMD Athlon 64 system

2005-12-19 Thread Dean Hamstead

dont use the nvidia binary drivers. the forcedeth driver is vastly
better.

which debian installer are you using? sarge should support it.
if not then get a nightly installer cd (Etch)

i believe the 2.6.11 kernel was the first with the forcedeth driver
the marvel card should be supported in earlier

im running the dfi lanparty nf4-sli board. it runs with the nforce4
chipset and the same network cards. i use the nforce network card
with the forcedeth drivers.

the forcedeth drivers are reverse engineered drivers btw. active armour
etc are all windows things. they claim to be hardware but are infact
software. for some reason the nforce network card uses the smb bus
rather than pci. dont know the pros or cons.

Express motherboard with "nForce4 built-in Gbit MAC with external
Marvell PHY - NV ActiveArmor, NV Firewall, AI NET2" which Ubuntu
recognised w/o problems. Is there some parameter I can give to the
insteller to help configuring the network? TIA,



I would imagine that it should work, but maybe you have to recompile
the kernel. It seems that nVidia provides a binary only driver for the
NIC, although there is an "unofficial" source code driver too:

http://lists.leap-cf.org/pipermail/leaplist/2005-January/000532.html

If you have a spare network card hanging around (I usually do), I
would just plug that one in. Then you can get the system up and
running and decide whether it is worth to fiddle with the nVidia
driver or not.

The same goes for the keyboard issue: just plug in a PS/2 version for
the installation. Once the system is all installed, the USB keyboard
should most likely work. Diagnosing these problems during the
installation is always a bit of a pain, especially with the modular
installer.

If you have the Ubuntu live CD, that one would be much more suitable
for figuring out these kind of problems. There is also a 64bit version
of Knoppix, which seems to be pretty ok (and closer to Debian).

Just a guess:
64bit xsane works outside of the chroot. You must check permissions in the
chroot's /dev.

Re: Flash (Re: OpenOffice-2.0.)

2005-12-19 Thread Olivier Bornet
Hello all,

first, thanks for the 32 bits stuff. Of course, clean 64 bits programs
must be the way to go, but for the moment, I'm happy to have the 32 bit
programs.

OOO and Skype is running OK on my amd64 system. The remaining major
problems I have are:

  - flash player in firefox,
  - adobe acrobat reader,
  - real player,
  - some codecs for mplayers/xine/totem/... (from w32codecs on 32 bits
x86 GNU/Debian distrib).

For acrobat reader, evince, gpdf or even xpdf are good alternatives.

For real player and w32codecs, I don't have a solution at this time. (I
don't want to setup a 32bit chroot at this time, as it seem to me it's a
little bit complicated when you have nis or ldap).

For flash player, the alternative to have mozilla-firefox-32 seems to be
a good solution until the libflash-mozplugin will support more flash
pages... But:

1st problem is present for me with a fresh update:

  $ sudo apt-get install mozilla-firefox-32 ia32-libs -t experimental 
  ...
  Setting up mozilla-firefox-32 (1.0.7-1.32b2) ...
  Updating mozilla-firefox chrome registry...E: Registration process existed 
with status: 127
  E: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-32/extensions/installed-extensions.txt still 
present. Registration might have gone wrong.
  mv: cannot stat `/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-32/defaults.ini': No such file or 
directory
  dpkg: error processing mozilla-firefox-32 (--configure):
   subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   mozilla-firefox-32
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any suggestions ?
