And now onto the palm pilot with Kpilot
by Dave Gutteridge 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

I've looked up the Kpilot manual, and I think I have an okay idea of what's going on with it. I'm trying to get it's detection feature to find my Palm Pilot. CentOS does seem to be able to recognize it, because if I run lsusb when running a hot sync, I get the following: [root@localhost dev]# lsusb Bus 001 Device 010: ID 0830:0060 Palm, Inc. Palm Tungsten T / Zire 71 That's encouraging. My Palm Pilot is actually a Tungsten E, not a T, but I'm not sure that's a level of detail that matters at this point. The Kpilot documentation suggest that I look for the palm pilot at /dev/ttyUSB0. That didn't work, but I noticed in my /dev/ directory that there was also a ttyUSB1. That didn't work either. But then I noticed that both were only apparent when I was hot syncing my Palm, so they must be connected to it. Any ideas, then, as to why Kpilot is not acknowledging them as a Palm device the way that lsusb does? Dave

Is this message from YUM a bad thing?
by Dave Gutteridge 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

I was doing a YUM update, and it found about 70 packages to download and install. While installing, this message popped up a couple of times: /sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libk3bdevice.so.2.0.0.#prelink#.X8kEMh is empty, not checked. And then after about three or four times of saying that, the YUM update stopped without finishing. So I started it again, and it picked up where it left off, so I figured it was no big deal. Then, about mid way through, it did it again. I went through this process a couple more times, and eventually it updated all the packages. But what does it mean, and is it significant? Should I care?

hda dma seek errors
by BRUCE STANLEY 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

I am getting occasional seek error on my boot drive. The messages are as follows: pshda: dma_intr: status = 0x51 { Drive ReadySeekComplete Error } hda: dma_intr: error= 0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } ide: failed opcode was: unknown Everything seems to be working fine but these errors do have me concerned. The last time they occurred I was created a fairly large cpio backup file in the '/tmp' directory. The drive has been checked via fsck, and any errors found were reported to be corrected. Should I take some kind of action on this, or just ignore the errors?

Welcome screen is crashing.
by Dave Gutteridge 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

Hmm... it was tough to get into CentOS this morning. I booted up, and after the screen flickered a bit, I got an error message that said some png file couldn't be found (Sorry I was in a bit of a panic and didn't think to copy down the whole error message verbatum). I think it was "throbbing.png", which is a little salacious sounding, but that's what it was. Anyway, it says this image can't be found, and there's nothing else on the screen but the error message and a button to click "OK". So I click it, and nothing happens. Ever. No matter how many times I say Okay, it just sits there. So I tried restarting X, using my newly learned ctrl-alt-backspace key sequence. When X comes back, same message. Because I can't think of anything else to do, I try ctrl-alt-backspace a bunch of times in a row, and then after a few times, the error message changes. It says "X seems to be crashing. I will try to restart with a different greeting screen". Fine by me, so I click "OK", and I get this really plain, light blue and grey login screen. I login with my usual personal account, and I'm in. I don't want to go through *that* again. But I'm not sure what the issue is. I was doing two things last night. One is install OpenOffice Beta, which, after help from this list, finally worked. I was also wanting to install new themes for KDE, but that didn't get far as I downloaded one theme, and I couldn't get past the ./configure part because I didn't specify the right perameters or something. But in the process of trying to figure out why the ./configure failed, I attempted to update KDE following instructions on their web site. Part of the exercise was to get qt installed, as the theme seemed to require it. But all I did was add a repository from the KDE site and do a um install of some KDE related programs. There is one other thing that I notice about my system that's different. In the top left hand of my screen, on my panel, the CentOS logo is gone, and in it's place is the icon for a "Prominent North American Linux Distributor". Where'd *that* come from? Dave

Definitely recommend upgrades on Tyan S2895 ...
by Bryan J. Smith 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

It seems that unstable PowerNow support on the Tyan S2895 is not limited to Linux according to this review: http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-296-1.htm Their solution was to upgrade the BIOS as well. -- Bryan J.

Several kernel problems
by Deim Ágoston 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

hi all, I have to configure an Intel desktop motherboard based "server" with 4 disks, using linux software raid (2 raid1 arrays). The type of motherboard is Intel Desktop Board D925XEBC2 "BlackCanyon". The gigabit ethernet controller is Marvell Yukon based (Syskonnekt) and stock kernel has problems using it. It doesn't complain, lspci "sees" it (it's not a big thing at all) but nothing under /proc/net/sk98lin/ (there should be an eth0 at least). I upgraded the stcok kernel to the newer one, 2.6.9-11 EL kernel but it doesn't work too. I tried to compile it as a module and to compile the driver into the kernel. After I downloaded the tar.gz and newest driver from marvell.com and compiled it against the official EL kernel source it worked... for 2 seconds. After that I got a kernel panic. I downloaded the latest vanilla kernel, version 2.6.12.3, compiled it with the patched driver. Right now the kernel sees the ethernet card but there are three problems: - this kernel is not the overpatched, stress tested kernel source (lots of applications and 3rd party drivers require RH kernels) but I can live with it - the boot is terribly sloooooooow. at startup when udev starts the boot process hangs for a while. That should be the version mismatch between kernel version (2.6.12.3) and udev (latest is 0.60, CentOS/RHEL includes 0.39). As far as I've seen the changelogs and lkml archives an udev upgrade should help. But I don't want to replace everything. - it seems that the system constantly uses the disks! The HDD activity LED full time active. If I boot the stock kernel it doesn't do so this was after the upgrade. anybody seen such thing before? (Maybe that's udev related too but I don't think so). It seems that there's no constant writes but it's strange. I used dstat to get this result maybe there's a better option. Any comments appriciated. bye, Ago

Question driving external LCD from dell laptop
by Jerry Geis 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

Bryan, I have the Nvidia chipset. Geforce2 go. Under XP I see a selection for "Nview display mode" and I select to try to find something that will show me refresh rates, scan rates etc... but I dont see where that is. Can you be more specific about how to view that information so I attempt to duplicate that under X and CentOS. THanks, Jerry ------------ Jerry Geis <geisj at pagestation.com <http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos>> wrote: >/ I have a dell inspiron 8200 laptop running centos 4.1 just />/ fine.

If it's an nVidia Go Mobile, you can use the nView features of the Standardware (Open Standard, Proprietary Source) drivers. It will let you set the _exact_ scan ranges of your 32" LCD TV (I assume it's a LCD TV, given the size/scan range), as well as the geometry for the 2nd head. If it's an Intel i855G/915G, then I've had a real hissy fit with mine. I can't seem to get the i855G/915G to do anything under Linux except send the _exact_same_ scan rate as it's using for the LCD. E.g., on my Toshiba Satelitte M35 series, it sends the _exact_same_ scan rate out the miniDB15 as it uses for the LCD. I have _never_ seen that with any other notebook I've ever used with a non-i8xx/9xx GPU (they always send VESA-standard output signals). So unless I don't know about some Intel tools out there for Linux, I hate'em. ;-> Never tried ATI Radeon Mobility.
