Re: Windows network gone - I can no longer see it.
It had. All I did was install VirtualBox and next thing t;was gone. I reinstalled UStudio though because I really needed the network and I was wasting more time trying to find a solution. Still I would really like to know just in case of another happenstance On Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 1:34 PM, Christopher Stamper [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 3:36 AM, aYo Binitie [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Hi, I really cannot understand this.

Sorry I meant the network stopped working totally whether VBox was on or off On Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 2:31 PM, Christopher Stamper [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 9:25 AM, aYo Binitie [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: True true but, it did not It just shut down Not too sure what you mean.

[Intrepid] running video apps pounds my internet to bits
It started last night but it wasn't until this morning that I got a handle on it. I was watching some India vs Australia cricket highlights when my oldest boy complained about losing access to the internet. (The file was AVI format, BTW). I couldn't get on line either. This morning I noticed the same thing when checking some other video files (AVI, MP4 and MKV formats). So I stated watching the LAN hub and the router. Normally they flicker when there's activity, but as soon as I engage *any* video app (I tried several different players BTW and they all exhibit the same symptoms) both hardware devices go berserk, with attempts to get online and/or reach other machines on the LAN timing out. Everything goes back to service as normal activity with immediate internet LAN access as soon as I terminate the video player(s). Clearly something in the playing of video is causing this. It didn't happen before yesterday's big upgrade BTW. Anyone else experiencing anything like this? -- Cheers, SDM -- a 21st Century Schizoid Man Systems Theory internet music project: www.systemstheory.net on MySpace: www.myspace.com/systemstheory on Last FM: www.last.fm/music/Systems+Theory get Codetalkers *free* at www.mikedickson.org.uk/codetalkers NP: nothing -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank you for the reply. I have printed this and will check out the things you note. From the specs in the Dell docs: 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 802.11 a/g Mini Card Wireless I have CC'd the list. This is useful for the archives, for other users having similar problems, and insurance against me making mistakes. If I screwed up (sooner or later this is likely), someone there will likely spot and correct the mistake(s). I have used that wireless adaptor and it is supported by Linux out of the box (right now I am using the iwl4965 that I put into my Acer Aspire One). IIRC it requires firmware to be loaded as well. That video card will require the latest nVidia driver directly from the nVidia web site. You are in for a bundle of fun. Just a tip, when installing the nVidia package (which you will have to do for every kernel you use), the second kernel you install to, use the -K flag so it only builds the kernel module. As for the rt kernel, I got the one defined here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation they specified the command: sudo apt-get install linux-rt I used Synatic instead of apt-get. Try it again with apt-get, you may be missing dependencies. I do not use synaptic so I have no idea what differences there are from the CLI programs (I personally use aptitude, but I prefer the CLI for most tasks). The other possability is that there is no /lib/firmware directory for your rt kernel. The easiest way to solve this is to simply create a soft link to the existing firmware directory. sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/2.6.24-19-generic /lib/firmware/`uname -r` Of course check the /lib/firmware directory first, to see whats there. As for the Tascam US-122 I followed the instructions on these alsa and the Ubuntu pages: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Tascam_US-122 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122 I suspect the two have ahd me create a couple of different /firmware directories and I suspect there may be file access rights issues since some of the files are owned by root and some by my generic user...not sure if this poses a problem. I won't be able to look at this project again until next week. Would you mind my asking more questions later? Not at all, but I strongly encourage you to use the list to do so. There are a lot of smarter people there who can probably also help. Since I do not have the same sound card as you, there may be someone one the list who does. It just makes sense to use the list. Personally I enjoy leaving batch/wsh behind. I have no problem leaving those behind as well...but, I was rather hoping to avoid digging into the innerds of boot scripts and such. I spent enough time setting up pf and such on my OpenBSD firewall a couple years back. That was a refresher course after not doing any uniix flavored stuff for 15 years before that... Unfortunately you don't always get that choice. I have learned the hard way to do my hardware homework so that I don't have to dig into the innards. The flip side, is that knowing how the system is put together allows me to bend it to my will. In the future avoid hardware that forces you to use binary drivers. I am a little more forgiving of binary firmware due to the legal requirements placed on vendors here in North America (I am specifically thinking of the Intel wireless adaptors, thanks a lot CRTC/FCC).
