OT: Router Recommendations

2012-05-08 Thread AZ Pete
Hi All, My aging wireless router is starting to act up and it seems that I'll need a new one in short order. My current router is a Linksys wireless G (before they became Cisco) with four 10/100Mb ports. I'm looking for something similar in a wireless N variety with 4 gigabit Ethernet ports.

So I get it it saves a total of 8 logs 6 of which are compressed and so how long is each log a record of? From my inspection of the log it seems as if it covers a little more than a day. Teach mw about this! I'm all ears! On Tue, May 8, 2012 at 10:26 PM, Michael Havens wrote: > you guys are

you guys are so helpful. Well, there is a /var/log/syslog and syslog.1 but after that it is syslog.2-7.gz, not 'z'. Does that sound right? Which is the most recent? On Tue, May 8, 2012 at 10:51 AM, Carruth, Rusty < rusty.carr...@smartstoragesys.com> wrote: > You should see syslog.0, syslog.1, etc

Curious, I had the same experience in futility trying to install :i386 packages for certain software on x64 as well in 12.04, resulting in a quite broken dpkg dependency tree. Glad/sad to know it's not only me. Now I get to watch update manager popups every day telling me how screwed I am wit

/var/log/syslog on ubuntu. You'll see network manager reeling usually, or accompanying iwl* (intel) driver messages probably. Could be firmware, could be your router/ap dying too - wouldn't be the first time someone found a cheap one was rebooting itself occasionally with use. Could be inte

You should see syslog.0, syslog.1, etc. (possibly with .z on the end). Those are your older logs. rusty --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://l

it was the syslog one. Thanks. It seems that the log is restarted at reboot. But how do I look at the mesages earlier than today? Hmm this is interesting! There is a cron job that runs hourly! The syslog line says: CRON[<>]: (root) CMD (cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourl

Ok, update on this. First, the ppa's are just as broken as everything else. Don't look there for answers. This is an issue with ubuntu's fancy "multiarch" support and they oopsed it. Second, if you try to build your own wine for i386, it'll want headers. Those headers conflict with the x64 one
