Re: [SLUG] console messages
If you want the messages readily available on the console the machine has its own monitor (not a remote connection) It took me a few years to realise this.. multiple terminals without X Just open out a new virtual screen/terminal. Alt +F1 would most likely be the console Alt+F2 would be another screen/terminal. Alt+F3 would be another screen etc up perhaps Alt+F6 So you don't need X windows to have mutiple terminals.

[SLUG] Toshiba Portege
Hey all, It's looking very much like my current laptop is dead. Am yet to get a quote on fixing it but weighing up the option of getting a new laptop to replace it. I initially thought a PowerBook was the way to go since they seem to be outrageously fashionable these days, but the advice I've had suggests that Linux doesn't support a bunch of the hardware in the current models. So I stumbled upon the Toshiba Portege M100 which looks like a cool box. Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding linux compatability information on it. Specs for it are here: http://tinyurl.com/2wa7x Does anyone know how well these things work with linux? linux-laptops.net didn't have them listed. The things I'm most concerned about are: * Getting decent (not necessarily stellar) performance in X. * Working wireless and bluetooth. I'd also be interested in anyone who has found a particular type of laptop to be awesome on linux. I'd prefer a smaller machine (ie around 12 inch monitor), but aside from that I'm flexible. Thanks, James. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I've been particularly happy with Debian on IBM Thinkpads. In particular, my T30 seems to be working great (only remaining niggle is getting IRDA stuff working, and I'm assuming that's PEBKAC, any pointers would be welcome.. :) It's bigger than what you were after, but wireless works out of the box with the orinoco_pci module in 2.4.22 and my X performance is fine (although I haven't pushed the box in terms of 3D stuff, works fine for my standard 2D stuff). It's also nice in that it has a 1400x1050 display, as opposed to the more standard 1024x768 I see on a lot of laptops, but it's battery life leaves something to be desired (but I didn't expect a lot out of a box that is effectively a desktop replacement). I've heard some good things from other people re: IBM laptops as well. Just a thought. :) Jordan -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

On the road I use a Toshiba Portege 4010, which I believe is the previous years' model. [The picture looks the same] The thing about Toshiba is they are renowned for *radically* changing the chip sets from one model year/number to the next. So it's entirely possible the one you are considering has different internals. BUY A PLANE TICKET AND FLY TO NORTH AMERICA TO BUY THIS. LAPTOPS ARE STUPIDLY EXPENSIVE IN AUSTRALIA. SAME LAPTOP IN CANADA IS $2,899.00 CAD == AUD! Ok, so maybe just get FedEx to ship it ;) My specs listed here, with comments: Toshiba Portege 4010 933 MHz Pentium III Like all Toshibas, it tends to run hot. toshutils from Buzzard mostly work (ie fan works). Better yet, recent 2.6 kernels ACPI are working. There's a Toshiba extension to ACPI available - you end up with some things in /proc/acpi/toshiba that largely negate necessity to use userspace toshutils. Software suspend swsusp2 2.0.0.80 + kernel 2.6.6 works. 2 PCMCIA slots (which I never use :)). A *third* PCMCIA slot (actually slot zero) is where the 802.11b card is plugged in. Its orinoco-cs, works. Since yours is Pentium M that probably means you'll have to jump through Centrino hoops. 2 USB slots - usb-ohci. 10/100 Ethernet - works great. I use e100 kernel module. Winmodem - doesn't work. Maybe it will someday, but I doubt it. Fireware - never tested, sorry. SD slot - does NOT work. Chip to talk to is it totally proprietary - no one I've seen has any idea how to talk to it. 1024x768 screen. trident XF86Config module. X is fine, but not 3D accelerated. Sound is good. Nice speakers. CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is slim select bay. DVD *works* (used Totem to play a DVD movie for the first time yesterday. Woot!) Suggest you also buy: Slim select bay Secondary battery Slim select bay Secondary Hard Drive (I just use it for backups, but backups are a good thing when you're on the road for a months or two at a time shrug). DMA doesn't seem to work to secondary drive, which is weird, as it does seem to work (?) to CD/DVD. I've got 1024MB (which is max) memory in mine. Probably overkill, though I do a lot of compiling. 512 MB would be fine. ONE LAST THING: MAJOR PISS OFF - THE CORNERS BOTTOM RIGHT AND BOTTOM LEFT WHERE YOUR HANDS REST ARE VERY SHARP. GET THE THING ON YOUR LAP AND DO SOME EXTENSIVE TYPING. IT'S FINE. GET THE THING ON A DESK, AND YOU START STABBING YOUR PALMS. So make sure that this isn't an issue for you.

[SLUG] NTFS and Fedora
Hi all, I need to install an NTFS disk in an FC1 system. I have downloaded the NTFS rpm and tried to install it and got the following message: This RPM requires kernel-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl. You already have it installed, but it is not running. Please reboot and select that kernel, then retry the install. My kernel appears to be 2.4.22-1.2115 and when I boot it does not offer me an alternative kernel to boot from. I have installed the apt-get on this system. Could the rpm be mistaken, or is it likely I do have that kernel, if so where would it be and how do I activate it.
