Okay.  The DVI port works.  Indeed, it all looks more crisp now.  I
tried an album in both Picasa  F-Spot.  Photo's come up clear - I
think, on first blush they're okay in both applications.

The problem is/was confined to when I start I slideshow, as both
applications make available.

In the case of Picasa as soon as slideshow gets going the edges of
images blur.  Dither I think is the correct word.

In the case of Ubuntu's F-Spot the slideshow is very slow.  It takes a
while to form the image.  Once done it is fine.

It seems to me that in both cases the program has to think too hard what
to do??

Any thoughts please.

Dave

It is not the programme - the ATI Radeon 9250 is a slow coach.

Re: Wireless USB Adaptor

 Recently the Broadcom chip-set based wireless card in my notebook
 decided to die.  One of the circuits actually fried somehow!  Anyhow,
 has anyone had any success with Wireless USB adaptors under Ubuntu?  At
 home my wireless router is a D-Link DSL-G604T capable of both 802.11b
 and 802.11g.  I'm not sure of what wireless technology is in use at Uni
 (Uni of QLD and ANU) though.  I'd need an adaptor capable of connecting
 to both networks.  I'm currently using LAN at home but I'll need some
 way of accessing the wireless at Uni after the holidays.

 If this helps at all, I have a netgear wg111 (
http://www.netgear.com/Products/Adapters/GWirelessAdapters/WG111.aspx) usb
wireless adaptor which works out of the box on my desktop (plug it in and 20
seconds later it's all set up). However, there may be some other versions of
this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/NetgearWG111) so
that may be something to consider.

Cheers,

Matt

Remote SSH

2008-07-05 Thread Simon Ives
Can someone please help with the syntax to remotely SSH to my Ubuntu
file server.  I've opened the server's I.P address and port 22 in the
router and verified that this has occurred with Shields Up (it reported
the server's host-name and that port 22 is open).  I'm just unsure of
how to SSH from a remote location.

The syntax I've attempted is:

ssh 124.171.***.*** (which is my public I.P address provided by my ISP)

and

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Both return the following error: ssh_exchange_identification:
Connection closed by remote host

I can SSH over the local network with no problems.

Thanks.

Re: Linux Servers for Infrastructure

2008-07-05 Thread Slawek Drabot
I'm trying to PXE boot a thin client that has a Vortex86SX processor (no math 
co processor or fpu)

Error message:
This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: 0:0
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.

any insights into the error code 0:0?

I'm guessing it has to do with math emulation and fpu emulation being required 
in the PXE image. Been looking for instructions on how to build a bootable 
image for PXE (onto an LTSP server) where I can enable both emulations but 
nothing simple enough for me to understand thus far.

Any help appreciated.


You can just use cron-apt and your own apt-repo to deploy applications and
manage updates, like Microsofts SMS but better.

Using PXE and a customised image you could network boot and install all the
machines as well, same as MS's RIS or WDS.

Re: Remote SSH

2008-07-05 Thread Gregory Storer
I access my server remotely with this:

ssh -p 2232 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Where 2232 is the port number that is then forwarded to 22.
