NIC replacement

2008-03-12 Thread Avraham Rosenberg
Hi,
Something is rotten in the kindom of Danemark.
Monday evening there was suddenly no internet connection. Neither in my
computer (Debian etch) nor in my wife's (Windows XP).
After bypassing the router, I was able to connect my wife's computer, but
not mine. Neither in Debian, nor in windows or knoppix. Conclusion:
probably the on-board NIC went bust.
I entered the BIOS, and switched it off and then mounted instead a (very
old) winbond 89C940 card that I had lying arond.
Both windows and Knoppix worked happily with it. 
A google search & comparison of lsmod for Knoppix and Debian pointed to
nek2k-pci.ko as the necessary module. 
After adding ne2k-pci to the /etc/modules of my debian, I rebooted it. The
card was recognized and the module loaded (dmesg: eth0 winbond 89C940 found
at 0xa000, IRQ204, 00:40:95:04:77:B6 ...and ne2k-pci.: v1.03 etc) but eth0
was not configured. lsmod confirmed that ne2k-pci.ko and 8390.ko had been
loaded.
What did I wrong, or failed to do?

There was a hint in dmesg: to try "pci=routeirq" if any of the devices does
not work. I have no idea where and how to use this hint. Can anyone give an
example?

To complete the mistery. After reset to factory defaults, the router worked
again as new. An this morning, after reactivating the on-board NIC,
everything works.
Any hint will be most welcome. Cheers, Avraham

It's a kernel parameter. It goes in your grub.conf or the equivalent LILO
file. 

for example after "root=/dev/hda1 r/o"

It happens occasionaly. If it starts happening regularly, replace the
router. I had an 8 port 10/100 hub that did that. I gave it to a friend
who replaced a bunch of capacitors on the circuit board and it works
fine now. The symptoms were increasing numbers of errors (as reported
by ifconfig, nothing on the Windows computers), to the point where
it would stop working until I removed the power and reset it.

I prefer the realtek 8139 derivative NICs. They are really cheap
(around 50 NIS) and are well supported in Linux, Windows, BSD and
MacOS. They also perform reasonably well. 

Geoff.

udev has a rule which binds MAC addresses to interfaces (prevents the 
annoyance of having interfaces names changed on machines with several 
similar NICs after kernel upgrades). The downside: changing NICS 
requires modification of that rule.


If you have udev installed, look for the file:

/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules


If you have it, you'll need to change the MAC address for eth0 to the 
new one (or remove that rule).

Hi,
Thanks a lot Geoff and Meir.
If I undertood Geoff correctly, it pays to avoid using the on-board NIC
(this time it recovered), as next time, the misbehaviour of the router
might damage the motherboard.
I changed therefore the line in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
as recommended by Meir and everything works.
I just returned from town with a EDIMAX NIC, as I do not rely on that old
card (I used it only, because, following Murphy, the trouble started late
in the evening). It happens to be based on a RTL8139 chip.
Thanks again, Avraham

Re: NIC replacement

2008-03-12 Thread Michael Tewner
Bonding MAC addresses to interfaces is a lifesaver when you have multiple NIC's

Imagine writing up a bunch of iptables rules. Then upgrade your
kernel. Suddenly, all of your interfaces are assigned to different
NICs and you can't access anything!

brctl aborting?

2008-03-12 Thread Dan Kenigsberg
Hi List,

I'm creating tun interfaces, deleting them, and connecting them to a bridge (not
necessarily in that order).

Occasionally, brctl aborts in what looks like a call to abort(2). I get

/bin/sh: line 1: 30963 Aborted sudo /usr/sbin/brctl show sw0

Now what may be causing it? Might it be the fact that in the same time other
processes are playing with brctl {addif,delif} ? 

A quick peek at the brctl code show no reference to abort(), so it probably
comes from a deeper place. Any guess from where?

"all-in-one" ink printer : looking for recommendations

2008-03-12 Thread Boaz Rymland

Hi,

I'm looking into buying an all-in-one printer.
I'll probably go for ink printer since I don't print too much and 
printing color output would be useful. The required/preferred specs are:

- having good printer drivers under Linux.
- working scanner functionality under Linux is highly desirable.
- independent fax capability
- preferably a machine compact in size.
- shared printing: I need to be able to print to it from windows and 
linux. I don't mind how this is achieved (setting linux as a printer 
server, network presence of the printer, etc) as long as its easy 
(enough) to install and maintain.
- under 1000nis (will this be a problem?... at least not much more than 
this limit).


If you can share some of your experience that would be great!
Thanks,
Boaz.

It means brctl caught a SIGSEGV.

Run "dmesg" after one of these incidents. I have a feeling the results 
will be interesting.

Look up the SANE pages. Pay special attention to features you want
or need. For example one scanner I had was supported by SANE, but not
for low resolution black and white scans. You could do a photograph 
fine, but scanning documents took forever.

You had to scan them as high res photos and then convert them
to black and white with gimp or a similar program.

Another detail to check. Some can be used as an independent fax,
some can also be used as fax modems.

There are two ways to do this. CUPS is your friend. You can drive it from
your Linux system and use SAMBA to share the printer. Or you can print
directly to it from Windows using "Internet printing". (IPP?)

The other way is to put the printer on the windows computer and print
to it with SMBprint (part of the SAMBA package). CUPS will work nicely
with it for Linux printing.

Lots of them for that price.

I am working with HP psc2210 I am not sure if they manufacture it now but I
am sure there are other models in the psc series.
As much as I know all these models are supported under Linux.
It has a fax/scanner The scanner works great using SANE.
There should be a way to send a fax directly but I did not find it.
The printer also contains card reader that works great under Linux.

Boaz, we have the HP OfficeJet 4255. It cost us 800 NIS at some online
auction site. It prints fine in Linux and even from my Windows VMWare
virtual machine. Setting up the drivers in Windows is a pain in the
tusik (needs disk), but in KDE it is a simple wizard. The scanner
works, it sends and receives faxes without the computer, and it has
two print cartridges: one for B/W which was easy to refill with an ink
kit, and one for colour. It is a compact unit, and we've had it for
over two years. Highly recommended.

Avoid Epson Stylus CX3200 and similar printers.

While all of its functions work under Linux, it was designed to waste
ink.  Each power cycling wastes some ink.
Also, its ink cartridges contain a chip preventing them from refilled.

Thanks for the idea. What could cause SIGSEGV on brctl?
My dmesg has a lot of noise, but no segfault visible.

Smells like a kernel OOPs to me.
Do you have a second machine and a NULL serial cable?
Setup a serial console [1] and get a kernel dump.

Other then that, how does your IDE setup looks like?
Is it a new(ish) DVDRW? If it is, are you using a 40pin cable or an
80pin cable?

Re: k3b hangs system - must hard reset

2008-03-12 Thread Hetz Ben Hamo
Hi,

One sad thing about HAL, hotplug and other "automation" scripts is
that if your CDROM/DVD-R drive has issues, your machine is going to
halt or "freeze", which seems like same thing happend to you..

My guess is that it's something wrong with your drive, which "freezes" the OS...

I suggest you run k3b, but open konsole, and do: tail -f
/var/log/messages - see if it prints anything.

Thanks,
Hetz

Paper digital archiving solutions for Linux?

2008-03-12 Thread Hetz Ben Hamo
Hi,

I have here a small "mountain" of documents - contracts, bills, etc..
Due to my 2 cats here, the "mountain" looks now like a total mess, so
I thought to take the chance, scan everything and move to digital
completely. I have talked to few lawyers and a representative from the
Income Tax ("mas Hachnasa") and they told me that almost everyone will
accept a photocopy of the original and in some rare cases you'll need
some Stamp ("Hotmemt") & signature authenticating the paper..

So, I'm looking for a good Linux app which can scan and archive docs
in something manageable and automatic, with support for SANE.

I'm following the thread that Boaz started about looking for
all-in-one, and what I found is OfficeJet Pro L7580. It has ADF
functionaily (so you can scan several papers continuously), double
side printing, Ethernet, fast printing, and the prices (according to
ZAP, here: http://www.zap.co.il/model.asp?model_id=580152) is around
~890NIS. The only disadvantage - it's big, so if you're short on
space, you should check the 6313 model (if you're into HP stuff).

Any recommendation for such an app?

Thanks,
Hetz

You could try keeping one ssh console from another computer open while

Re: k3b hangs system - must hard reset

2008-03-12 Thread sara fink
There are few things that you should check:
1. Did you enabled scsi support for the cdrom?
2. check ls -l /dev/sr0 /dev/scd0. I had once such a permission
problem which wouldn't allow me to burn.

This is how my

 ls -l /dev/cdrom /dev/hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  3 Mar  7 08:11 /dev/cdrom -> hdc
brw-rw 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Mar  7 08:11 /dev/hdc

looks.  In your case it should show something like
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  3 Mar  7 08:11 /dev/scd0 ->sr0
brw-rw 1 root cdrom  22, 0 Mar  7 08:11 /dev/sr0

It looks like you need to have scsi support for the cdrom in the
kernel (/dev/sr0).

Generally, all HP printers are supported in Linux.
I currently have an Officejet-6313 and before that
had an PSC series one (can't remember the number,
it was an all-in-one-but-no-fax model):
 * Both worked out of the box:
   - Scanning through sane (xsane, kooka in KDE, gimp sane plugin etc.)
   - Printing through cups (obviously)
 * The drivers are all in the hplip packages.
 * It also contain some handy utilities like:
   - hp-setup: Helps detect the device settings and add it
 to cups and sane.
   - hp-toolbox: A GUI utility (has a command line mode as well) to show
 other minitools (which can be used stand alone as well) for printer
 parameters, scanning, ink-level reading, faxing etc.
 * The old printer had only USB connection. The new one can be connected
   via USB or ethernet. I connected it to my local switch and can
   access/configure it via a web interface as well.
 * Almost forgot, it has some slots for various camera cards (XD, MMC, etc.)
   If the printer is connected via USB, they can be accessed as mass-storage
   devices. I didn't had much use for this feature so I chose the network
   based connection.
 * One thing I noticed on my previous printers from HP (didn't happen to
   the new one yet...) is that when they get a bit old, pages tend to get
   stuck in the feeder very often. I stopped using an old Laserjet (1100)
   after I got to the point when I had to manually feed page by page.

Hope it helps,

At my workplace we found that currently cygwin isn't working well on Vista

I've used EOSAdmin on and off and its good at least for the occasional
maintenance jobs. For day-to-day stuff I used custom scripts (adduser,
etc') but now that I'm eDirectory bound I use the eDirectory tools which
are excellent.

I can second Ori's testimony with a PSC 2410 we have for two years and
works perfectly.

That said, I just noticed that a colour laser printer (NOT all in one,
just printer) wasn't much more expensive than a B/W laser printer.
I haven't checked how it works with B/W vs. colour cartridges refills
for it but the price per page ratio is very tempting. I don't print
much but that's mostly because I feel a pain every time I have to
shell out money for the B/W ink cartridge (tried to refill once and
got it dribbling all over the place, and I heard warnings about using
non-vendor refills that can block the printer).

Bottom line - don't discard the laser option, it might not be so much
more expensive and will save money in the long run.
