Thanks for that you have given me a place to start, am not so tempted just
to run ubuntu server and run debian and configure it all myself.

Someone help me in the right direction for networks <- Might be off topic

2009-10-11 Thread Dean Chester
Hi,
I've been asked to set up a network of between 6 and 10 computers, using
linux yet i don't know what to do. I've decided to allocate 2 as servers and
because we have to run our network with in another network so we are hoping
to run the 1 server as a copy of the other one just it will be sitting
outside of the firewall(not allowed to open other ports on the firewall) so
we can access documents at home, i'm thinking of running a webdav server to
do that part.. Now the main problem how would i go about configuring the
workstations to allow home directries on any computer so users do not have
to have specific computers and they can go in and use any freely avaliable
machine. I am open to another suggestions.
Thanks in advance
Dean

Gnome not reconizing Keyboard

2009-05-16 Thread Dean Chester
Hi
I started playing with sysvconfig and then rebooted and gnome stopped my
keyboard from working was it that i disabled a service or was it an upgrade
that has affected the keyboard. I have not changed my xorg.conf file. I can
boot in to single user mode and older kernels yet they don't support the
graphics card so can't check to see if it works with gnome. I can use it in
another tty yet can't switch to another one from the gnome login window. Any
suggestions welcome

Pocket Hard Drive or Keypen to run Linux

2009-03-24 Thread Dean Chester
Hi
Im soon to be buying a new key pen/pocket hard drive that will have a
linux distro installed on a partition. What would be the best to go
for as key pens only have a certain life and the keypen will be used
daily. I know i shouldn't run it as a main OS off the keypen yet im
not allowed to install it on the hard drive of my school issued
laptop. I will be looking at either at getting 2 16gb keypens or one
big pocket hard drive. Will also the read and write speed be an issue
aswell?
Thanks in advance
Dean

Hi
I part own a NC10 with my brother and love it with debian. It looks so cool.
Installing debian on it was easy just needs at least kernel version 2.6.27
because of the wifi driver. I love the keyboard on it compared to my 12"
school laptop as most of the keys are a good size. I hope this helps with
your decision.

[OT I think] Which Distro?

2009-02-25 Thread Dean Chester
Hi
I have been recently looking at other distros to use other than Debian. And
i have also been given a new laptop for use in school which i am soon going
to be running Linux on. However i don't know what to go for. The 3 options
to choose from are Debian(of course), Ubuntu or Fedora. The Laptop is
Novatech Branded Clevo M72R(i think). The Reason i ask this is that ubuntu
and fedora feel like what OS should feel like to me and feel more
'connected' and not a bit of a missmash which is what debian feels like to
me, I moved from OS X August 08. Also they are updated more frequently.
Thanks in Advance
Dean


Use of Swap Space

space is being used while only 13% of the RAM is, why isn't is using the
rest of the RAM. Has anyone got any ideas why?

Re: ALSA Config

I noticed that this error came up on boot:
alsactl restore error message alsactl: set_control: 1269 : Failed to obtain
info for control #24(no such file or directory) when it was trying to start
alsa. So its to do with alsa not being able to restore the previous volumes
properly.

Nigel here is the information you wanted.

BTW that is the problem as all the modules are loaded and unloaded
successfully. I am unable to boot in to previous kernels as i have removed
them(d'oh, stupid me).

Re: ALSA Config

2009-01-03 Thread Dean Chester
Update: I unloaded alsa with the command: alsa unload. now i can't get it to
resume as it doesn't load any modules. I think this info might help us find
a solution. Outputs of commands
alsa unload:
debian:~# alsa unload
/usr/sbin/alsa: Warning: Processes using sound devices: 31575(wish8.5).
Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-hda-intel snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm
snd-timer snd-page-alloc (failed: modules still loaded: snd-hda-intel
snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-page-alloc).
debian:~# alsa unload
Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-hda-intel snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm
snd-timer snd-page-alloc.
I left amsn running by mistake thats why it failed the first time.

alsa resume:
debian:~# alsa resume
debian:~# alsa resume
debian:~# alsa resume

As you can see its not loading anything. Hope this helps.

How often do the repositories get updated?

2008-12-30 Thread Dean Chester
Hi
I am just wondering how frequently do the repositories get updated for
kernels as ive not been able to update to the new kernel 2.6.28. My
custom built kernel doesn't work:(. I am running debian sid and i also
noticed that the kernel 2.6.27 wasn't put in to the repositories.
Thanks in advance
Dean
