CentOS 5 :: Compaq Evo N800w Mobile Workstation - Easy Access Buttons
May 10, 2009
I've installed CentOS 5.3 on my Compaq Evo N800w mobile workstation (laptop). I was able to map the volume up and volume down buttons to the proper function using System - Preferences - Keyboard Shortcuts. I need to map the Internet Browser, Email, Search, and Media Player to the other Easy Access Buttons that Compaq has on this keyboard. Has anyone had success using programs like keyTouch to get this accomplished? Should I be considering other solutions?

I have a brand new Dell m4500 workstation. Here are some hardware features:Core i7-820 processor4 GB RAM256GB Solid state diskNVidia quadro FX 1800M graphics cardWhen I try to run the 10.04 graphic installer (from a CD or from a USB stick built using pendrivelinux) I see all of the text information as it is loading (i.e. all the white text and dots and stuff) but then the screen just goes blank.
When I try to run the 10.04 alternative installer from a CD, I can install successfully, however when I boot into it, I get the same problem as the installer. I see a bunch of text as it's booting up, and then the screen goes blank. I figure this is a graphics driver issue, so I downloaded the NVidia drivers, and then tried to start the computer in "recovery mode" to get to a root shell and install the drivers. But after selecting "recovery mode", I again see a bunch of white text, and then I get a momentary (~0.5sec) view of the recovery menu (i.e. dpkg, root, netroot, xfix) or something like that. Then... surprise... the screen goes blank.I tried both the 10.04 64bit and the 10.04 32bit versions with the same results.
After installing 10.04, and after booting up with the blank screen, on a whim I entered my user name and password and happened to hear that familiar login sound... though the screen is still blank. I tried logging into the root shell from the "recovery mode" via memory (pressing down a whole bunch, and then up one), and then I tried to run the NVidia display driver installation by typing the installer name, and then by entering options based on notes I took when I ran the installer from 9.04... however since I can't see the screen there's no way to tell if that worked... and nothing has changed.I'm currently running 9.04 which is working moderately well, with the exception that the SDCard reader and the network card don't work. I'm using a USB network device for now. I don't know enough about linux to know how to diagnose this problem

When trying to install Lucid on my HP Compaq 6710b (INTEL Mobile GM965/960 graphic controller) using the alternate i386cd with an usb pen i (re-)experiencing (known from the Jaunty installation) the following problem:Boot from USB (works) Select language (works) Choose to install ubuntu (works) Removing quit from the boot options, hit enter, see some output (works) Starting the installation interface (fail) The screen wents to black, but system seems not froozen. What i've tried to fix this issue:fb=false as bootoption (worked in jaunty, does not work with lucid) frambuffer=false
fb=off
debian-installer/framebuffer=false
vga=123, tried all of the offered modes
vga=771 (get some screwed up output on the screen, which i guess from that the system/machine is not frozen)
i915.modeset=1
i915.modeset=0
xforcevesa etc
Anyone managed to install Lucids with INTEL graphics + the alternate cd? PS: I need the alternate cd to setup an encrypted system. PPS: Just tested the desktop i386 image which works flawlessly.

I read books using a PDF reader and I'd like to be able to easily look words up that I don't know. I see that the ipad has an easy to use dictionary built in and that's the type of thing I'm looking for. Perhaps being able to right click a word and select "look up in dictionary".

I've just installed Debian Squeeze on my eeePC 4G with the NetInstall iso and I plan on having the OS in text mode only (Ok, I'm not sure how strange that sounds to some of you). So I'm looking for command line apps to run and was wondering if there was one that would make this any easier...?ifconfig wlan0 upiwconfig wlan0 essid $essidNamedhclient wlan0I could just turn it into a script, but it still wouldn't handle hotspots with passwords. So, anyone know of a nice little app that would take care of this?

I have a Windows 7 OS running VMWare workstation and have used a 11.2 OpenSusie distro to install OPenSusie in one of the VMWare environments. Looking in file manager I see all the 'usual' folders, but the CD-Rom is 'pointing' to the iso mounted CD - ie the virtual one. How do I open/mount the real CD/DVD and also how do I access the files in Win7.

I have a Ubuntu 10.10 LAMP workstation and it's working good. I need people to see it from the internet. I assigned an IP address to it and added it to the DMZ list it in the router. My friend can't see it at all from his location. What should I do now? I can see it on my local network OK. I don't want to switch my domain over to it until I can see if from the internet.I gave him my external IP address to try to connect to the system. My external IP is 76.89.114.72

Installed 10.10 maverick on my compaq mini 110, activated the restricted STA driver... But under the networking drop down it shows wireless as enabled but I cannot actually see any networks, there should be about a half a dozen to see. Works fine under windows. Before the restricted drivers are activated ifconfig shows eth0 and after eth0 and eth1 but when I do iwscan eth0 or eth1 it tells me this action is not supported! I have tried reinstalling from cli but no difference?

It appears the liblphp.so and liblpssl.so files that have been added to /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/ and the php.ini are 32 bit libraries. This is preventing them from loading as PHP and it's other modules are all built as 64 bit libraries. To resolve this error, I would recommend re-building the libraries as 64bit. Most likely this can be done using Easyapache to re-build PHP (and Apache) to support these modules. Additionally, libcrypto and libssl are on the server in /usr/lib/ folder. However, they are 64bit libraries which may not work on the 32bit .so files you have provided.

By using ISO2USB for CentOS/RedHat I installed with out having to burn A single cd or dvd. Super easy and free from source forge. Link[URL]... Unplug the USB drive and take it to the machine to be installed.Reboot the machine and choose USB boot option in the BIOS boot menu. Choose Hard drive installation method and select /dev/sdb1 as partition that holds ISO images. Use sda drive for installation and choose to review the partitioning layout. In advanced bootloader options, change drive order to "sda sdb". Proceed with the installation.
So easy it should be a tool in every admins box. I hope I saved you some time and headaches.

I have a problem with the VMware Workstation 6.5.2 build-156735 on CentOS 5.3. When I start a VM then, after 10-20 minutes the machine and VMware Workstation freeze. The mysterious thing was, after the freeze a large of folders from my two partitons were lost. ( I have two partitons on a NVIDIA Raid,configured with dmraid.) But the partitons still here, I can see them and they are mounted. Its very mysterious.
I have installed the VM's to a folder on my raid. When I killed the processes and restart VMware Workstation I cant start a VM.
VMware says that CentOS 5.3 are supported for the VMware Workstation 6.5.2 build-156735.

I have an Intel i7 with CentOS x64 installed, with the intention of using it as the host O/S with VMWare Workstation to run a number of virtual machines. I had this all working until the kernel was updated to 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5, Now I can no longer start any VMs. I have tried reinstalling CentOS, updating it first, then installing VMWare Workstation - no different. I have tried running as root - no different.
Is anyone else aware of this problem? Does anyone else run VMWare on CentOS x64?

I have a cheap and cheerful netbook (Advent 4213) that I carry around with me running the latest lucid build, it has a built in 3g modem which I like cause I don't have to carry a dongle round with me.... which I continually lose anyhow I also have two data plans, one with Orange UK and the other T-mobile UK. The 3g modem is a HUAWEI Technology.
Both sims work for normal Internet access, I can connect to email servers, access web (both http and https) sites, but when I'm using the T-mobile sim Ubuntu One crashes after about 5 mins after attempting to connect. At first I thought it was a problem with either Ubuntu One itself or the lucid build, so I tried accessing the website interface.... I can login but when I go to view my files (I am assuming you are familiar with Ubuntu One) the page "load" progress bar gets so far and then stops..... it appears to be trying to access ssl.google-analytics.com, but just sits there and eventually times out, I am assuming this timeout is what is causing the Ubuntu One to crash.
Stick the Orange sim back in and everything is OK, go back to the T-mobile sim and it no worky anymore hence the reason I think this is a T-mobile issue and not something wrong with Lucid or Ubuntu One..

I've installed CENTOS 5.3 on my laptop, on dual boot with windows xp. The problem is that my wireless network manager doesn't find any networks. Another laptop with fedora 10 installed finds the network, so the problem is not the network. I guess it's a problem with the wireless driver / firmware, as i had this problem on fedora some time ago, and i've solved installing the firmware. Now i've installed the firmware, i rebooted, and it still doesn't find any network.

I have a HP notebook Compaq NX6110 with Cent OS 5.4 as a test PC. All equipment works correct except strange fact that notebook does not want to shutdown. When I try to shutdown it via graphical interface or CLI it only reboots. In system log there are no errors about ACPI or something like that. Who can give advice - is this bug in Cent OS 5.4 or something wrong with notebook?
P.S. I updated the BIOS with the last available version from HP

I'm currently on a project to allow mobile computers in our vehicles to access a web application. Unfortunately, most of our users are just smart enough to be dangerous...I would like to create a large private network over a wireless (3g, 4g, whatever), but in a way that forces the users to be on that network so that I (the evil IT guy) can control what they have access to. VPN seems like a good bet, but I want to be sure that the users are forced to only connect through it. As it stands, they're going to be using XP-based toughbooks.

I have been trying searching and reading for a few days now and I have had no luck getting a Encore ENLWI-G2 wireless pci adapter to install. I downloaded their Linux driver [URL]...and I keep getting errors on the makedrv (attached). I get a couple "make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/build: No such file or directory. Stop. " errors but the modules appear to be there.
I have not touched Linux in 5 or 6 years, so pretty rusty. I have a call in at Encore support and will post their solution if they get to me first.

i recently-ish bought a netbook, and a mobile-broadband toggle to go with it, and set it aside to use later. i promptly installed the Netbook remix on the laptop. Well, I goofed, and didn't notice until well after I bought the WAN toggle that it was made for windows.
so, I downloaded Wine in an attempt to run the start.exe and get my internet. the executable (and the entire drive, i found) are marked by ubuntu as read only. Is there anyway to change this to allow me to run the file? if i did, would it even work?
