Re: {OT} looking for laptop screen replacement
No problem Andrew, If you are inside the case already I'm sure you can replace the screen yourself, just using the manual I forwarded to you to locate the screen screws and where the wires connect, so your least cost bet would almost certainly to be to get the one from Amazon, but make very sure you get the one for your exact model (make sure those part#'s and specs match what is on the tag on your unit). *ie)*L645D-(_S4037_ must be on the tag on the bottom - or its the wrong one), and the specs must be : 14.0 WXGA HD LED. The exact specs you can find in the tech spec section of the user manual that came with your Toshiba. If you don't have that anymore, the manuals are available on the Toshiba website and you will need the all the numbers on the units tag to make sure you get the one for your exact model (See below, I provided the link). Here's the link to the Toshiba site where you can look up the user manual: http://support.toshiba.ca/support/TechSupport/ln_TechSupport.asp Then just fill in the drop-downs: satellite, L645D for model, and match up the last dropdown with what the tag says on yours (They all start with: PSK16C-00 then 4 numbers to particularly ID your model.) Once you have the exact specs for screen, you'd just need to find one, and if you are lucky it'll be the one you already located. The service manual isn't much help for that info, It does say it has a 14.1 Inch LCD but doesn't make mention of the WXGA HD, but then again there are 4 different types of that model, so either they are all the same or mixed-and-matched and Toshiba is famous for doing that. There is a section on handling the LCD on page 239 of the service manual pdf. The section for re and re the LCD unit is on page 212 of the pdf. The part about what the display spec are is on Pg 17 of the pdf. If you need any other assistance, just holla :-) and feel free to just email me directly since this is way OT at this point.

Is there some mechanism where the SL community can get by the traffic cop and get something fixed over at RHEL? It's probably a version issue. SL6 has util-linux 2.17 and F15 has util-linux 2.19. SL6 and F15 are probably close enough that you can rebuild the F15 srpm for SL6. Hi Todd, If you use palimpsest (AKA gnome-disk-utility - which is part of the base SL installation), it is a 5 second job to change from GPT to MBR (and in reverse) Just plug in the drive, open palimpsest, choose the drive in the left-side pane, and click the format drive button (right-hand-middle/top), and then use the drop-down to select what you want the drive to be. I use it all the time and have never had an issue; it is a very useful partition management tool. Hope that helps, Alex

I had a G-Drive Mini (usb and firewire) that I needed to remove the Apple format. Nothing happened when I tried it under Firewire. Everything showed up when I plugged it into my (powered) USB hub. fdisk was accomplished. It would have been nice to get it to work under Firewire too. I see the computer again Tuesday, so I will do an lsmod on it to see what shows up. Many thanks, -T Hi Todd, Yes I plug it in and it works, and always has been like that. What I have is a LaCie Firewire DVD-RW unit and also an Alesis MIDI/Audio interface that both connect no problem, whether hot-plugged or plugged in before booting. You mention Apple ( I also use an Apple with SL) so: if it's an Apple computer (Just to let you know if you don't already) and you want to boot from you external HDD; it won't. Neither USB or Firewire devices are supported for booting on Apples (I've tried a lot of things on my own and most of what I've found on the internet to get that to work Not even with ReFit will it work - the only thing I haven't tried is putting an entry in GRUB and seeing if that might do it..but that's a project for another day...lol). Anyway, only if you have a firewire connection from another Apple computer will an Apple boot from a drive not enclosed in itself. If it's a storage device only, then the firewire sub-system should be brought up as SL loads, and the device should be visible when the desktop is up. One other thing is it doesn't matter if it's got an MBR or GPT (GUID) partition table, but I don't think anything else will work (again if it's an Apple). Maybe check your dmesg log and see if there is anything in there indicating what might be going on at boot time (it should show the fw modules loading) and also watch the system log when you plug the device in. The other thing I was thinking about was packages, since I installed SL so long ago I can't remember if I added something when I was doing the install, but from looking at the installed firewire packages in yum, all the ones I have installed are related to music and dv interfaces so I'm thinking that anything that was needed for general connectivity was installed in the default installation. If it's not an Apple, I'd be checking in the BIOS too, to see if there is somewhere in there the firewire ports can be turned on and off. Lastly, if it's a expansion card that's just been installed, you probably will need to add the modules and/or there could be some firmware that's needed for that particular device. I'm not all that sure about that part. Actually one more thing, if the device and USB ports on the computer are USB2 and either of your firewire ports are F400 (ie device and/or computer), then the transfer rate will be better using the USB2. If the firewire is F800 on both ends, that /would/ give you a faster transfer rate. You can decide whether knowing that, you want to bother. Good luck, and just ask if you have more questions when you get back to it. Sorry this is a bit ramble-ish and somewhat not very well ordered...lol. Just as an aside; in my experience, you shouldn't have an external drive routed through a hub, it should be a direct connect to a computer port. It will work through the hub, but it eventually burns up the hubs ports, due to the extreme amount of data traffic going through. Alex

Does anyone have a SL 6 port of either parted or gparted that is more recent than the stock SL 6 versions? You asked about SL6, but my experience with SL5 may be relevant. The stock SL5 parted wouldn't make a label on a 3TB WD USB drive (4096 byte sectors), so I compiled what was then the latest version, parted-2.4, from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/. There were no absent dependencies, installation put the result into /usr/local/sbin, leaving the stock version alone, and the compiled version was adequate. They're up to parted-3.0 now. Steven Yellin I tried your suggested approach first but did not mention this in my posting. Below is the failure from configure of parted-3.0 on SL 6 : checking for uuid_generate in -luuid... no configure: error: GNU Parted requires libuuid - a part of the util-linux-ng package (but usually distributed separately in libuuid-devel, uuid-dev or similar) This can probably be found on your distribution's CD or FTP site or at: http://userweb.kernel.org/~kzak/util-linux-ng/ Note: originally, libuuid was part of the e2fsprogs package. Later, it moved to util-linux-ng-2.16, and that package is now the preferred source. End output. I was going to start chasing down the above dependencies, but instead attempted the Fedora path -- and again faced a chase as I previously have noted. If I install / build the various parts that parted-3.0 requires, will I break SL 6? One option is to build (configure, make) all of the parts without make install and customize the configure/make paths in each component to find the parts in non-standard locations so as not to clobber the stock SL 6 components. Does anyone have a parted-3.0 ported to SL 6? Yasha Karant Have you considered using a live CD of one of the fedora versions (I prefer F13 for that, but maybe it would have a problem with those drives too, so perhaps F14 or 15) to do the partitioning and then do the SL install? I've had to use that method in the past with Seagate drives. Just a thought to keep you out of dep hell. There is also the new parted magic live CD that may be better than Fedora because the tools are already in the distro. http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=partedmagic

I have never attempted any kernel revisions or builds in the past. The method can also be used to rebuild any package from Fedora or EPEL into an el6 package. I also tried this as well as I needed to update the linux-firmware package. It's amazingly easy to follow, which reminds me I have to go there and give Thanks to the author. Regards to all A I do have a small difference of opinion with the instructions in the mentioned thread. The instructions have the switch --without debuginfo . I prefer to build both the regular and debug rpms. This way, if the regular one throws unexpected exceptions or other diagnostics, one may be able to isolate or identify the issue. In some cases, it is buggy beta code from Fedora; in other cases, it can be due to structural incompatibilities with some portion of a stock RHEL distribution (such as SL 6). One does not have to install the debug version and after a successful use (test) period has elapsed, one can rebuild without debug information. Yasha Karant I do agree with that, and considered taking out that switch, but as I was really more interested in testing the method and its viability rather than having an issue-free kernel, I left it as is. Today I have been reworking the config file for x86_64 generic and intend to rebuild the kernel modified for my machine, and with the --without debuginfo switch removed for dubugging purposes. If that all works well, I will then do as you suggested and rebuild it again with the debuginfo excluded (after a suitable test period of course). Regards Alex

The most salient explanation I quote here: Re: VirtualBox guest USB inoperative on RHEL 5.5 64-bit host Postby zzz » 7. Oct 2010, 00:03 This comment relates mostly to CENTOS/REDHAT distributions. As mentioned in many previous posts the problem is usually with the permissions on usbfs. Centos mounts the usbfs first thing during boot. Once /proc/bus/ubs is mounted, its permissions cannot (so I have heard) really be changed. Thus, changing fstab or several other suggestions do not seem to work with this operating system. It turns out the the original mount is in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. All you have to do is edit this file and add the group and its permissions to the mount instruction. Here is an example, of the changes where the group id is devgid=501 which is the group id of vboxusers. In /etc/rc.d, edit rc.sysinit Replace the two lines mount -n -t usbfs /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb and modprobe usbcore /dev/null 21 mount -n -t usbfs /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb With modprobe usbcore /dev/null 21 mount -n -t usbfs /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb -o devgid=501,devmode=664 mount -n -t usbfs /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb -o devgid=501,devmode=664 Note that you can get the gid of vboxusers by doing grep vboxusers /etc/group. If it is not 501, then replace 501 with the correct gid. Also, make sure that you are a member of the group: gpasswd -a youruserid vboxusers End quote. I will try the above on Monday 20 June 2011 and report if it works. If so, may I strongly urge the SL6 documentation persons to please make a note of this, and perhaps considering changing SL6 from RHEL6 in this regard, documenting the change in the release notes?

Thank you Alexandr. Ill try to get to compiling rpm tonight. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. Hi, No problem with the brevity, and you're welcome for the info. I just thought I'd add that now I am using the self-compiled version there seems to be some lack of functionality in a couple of the menus; ie. there is a menu entry for tools in the player, but nothing there, and the new list function doesn't seem to do anything - mind you I've never used this player, so maybe there is nothing usually in tools, and you will be compiling for i686, so maybe you will have a different result (I'm on a 64bit system) with new list, etc. Also, I wasn't able to find the following deps which are listed as optional so maybe if you find them everything for i686 will be as it should be. Missing deps for 64bit: - game-music-emu= 0.5.5 (Optional) - libWildMidi= 0.2.3.4 (Optional) - libprojectM= 1.2.0 (Optional) - libenca= 1.9 (Optional) best wishes alex Hi Andrew, The source time-stamp is correct. The official qmmp site is here: http://qmmp.ylsoftware.com/index_en.php and it lists the date of release being May 20, 2011, so that's what all the time-stamps should say. All I had to do to enable playback of every kind of audio file including mp3 was to have all of the devel versions of the deps. Since you are on a i686 system, all you should need to do is run cmake (if you want qmmp installed in /usr instead of /usr/share - which is the default - use: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ), then when that's done run make, and when that's done, sudo make install. If you're wanting to make an .rpm out of it, I think you'd use rmpbuild to do that but I'm not very proficient at that yet so you'll need to do research or ask about doing it. Anyway, if you have the deps you'll get the mp3 support enabled without needing any flags. As an aside; I ended up finding the other missing deps last night (after my last post)and re-compiled

Please give feedback it you try it out. You can do: yum --enablerepo=epel-testing groupinstall xfce-desktop to install the base set. Very cool! Thank you! Anxiously awaiting 64 bit RPMs. -T You don't need to wait. They are there. (This is EPEL) I am not finding them. http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/letter_x.group.html What am I missing? :'( Hi Todd, my apologies; I just realized the the uptime I gave you earlier was incorrect. I had forgotten that I had only logged out of gnome and back in with xfce (and not rebooted) which doesn't reset the uptime. Sorry about that and any confusion the misinformation created. Alex
