Debian Hardware :: Why 2x2GB DDR2 RAM Read As 3.6GB
Jan 28, 2011
Just installed 2 pcs of 2GB DDR2 RAM specifically KVR80032N6/2G-SP from kingston. For dual channel as my board supports it plus the memory I could afford to buy now. Though I am using the RAM for shared memory -- I don't think it's using a lot. If I understand it right 2GB is roughly equivalent to 2048MB. So two of these becomes 4096MB -- less 256MB for the shared video ram -- that would be around 3840MB. Unless my board is using 512MB of shared video ram and that would be 3584MB w/c is closer to 3.6GB. Never mind I'll just check my shared Video RAM.

I just purchased this laptop a few days ago and already I am wanting to upgrade the RAM and such. In the terminal when I typed 'sudo lshw' it gave me all of my system information and I have two RAM slots, one is 1GB and the other is 2GB. This laptop can be maxed out at 8GB which is my plan but the RAM in here is 800MHz DDR2. What exactly does the 800MHz mean and what happens if I buy RAM that's DDR3? Do I have to get exactly 800MHz DDR2 RAM when I upgrade or can I order better? The ram I was looking at is two sticks of 4GB(4096MB) DDR3 1333MHz but will this even work in my laptop or blow it up?

I'm looking at a new board that supports both DDR2 800 and DDR2 667. But, the FSB is only 667MHz. My question is: is there a benefit of using the DDR2 800 on the 667 FSB? That is, can the DDR2 800 be fully utilized on this system? What are pros and cons of such? Does the added benefit outweigh the additional cost of the RAM?
Note: I'm not looking to overclock at all, and this is not going to be used for 3D apps (games or video editing).

I'm wanting to update my existing 1GB Kinsgston 240 pin DIMM memory to 2GB or more. Can I keep my existing IGB and add another from a different manufacture? Will they match or should I just get new memory? What is available is DDR3 and DDR2. Guess what I'm asking is I have two memory slots total one will have the existing 1GB and I want to add at least 1GB more, does the DDR3 or DDR2 matter? Or is it all about the 240 pin config?

I down loaded Debian 5.0.4 and burned it to CD (several times I might add till it was right) and now the computer I'm putting it on wont acknowledge it as a boot disk and load. It does not have a problem with my windows cd, which has a crack and the start of all my problems, But not the Debian CD-1 disk. what now? The computer is an IBM thinkpad a22p. Everything works as far as I can tell. But I was going to reinstall Windows and failed in that because of a small crack on the edge of the disk that stopped the install and any hope of accessing the file on the laptop. Microsoft does not support windows xp any longer, you must buy windows 7, but the ibm will not run it due to processor speed and ram limitations. But it will run linux and I'm willing to try it just to get out of microsoft control.
Idon't know what else to do. This is the link to where I downloaded the software ( [URL] ). The others five that i downloaded were on the same page that I got this one. Are there bad files here? Is there a missing file in the disc?

My brand new DVD+RW disc can't be read by debian (6.0) after trying to erase and burn a new iso into it. I used brasero for this but it failed to burn it and left it in this bad state. It could be detected before the failed brasero session though.
However, whenever I introduce the dvd into the drive after the brasero session, the dvd drive makes the same noises all the time as if it can't read something on it and is going back to the beginning and doing this all the time over and over again. The data on the dvd is not important but what I want to know is if it is possible to stop the OS from trying to read what's in it so I can use some erasing software to make the dvd useful again.

tonight my laptop with debian installed is no longer reading my wireless card. It has been working for quite some time and I really have no clue as to why it stopped. I did install some updates today, but they seemed pretty minimal. I got the card to work following the same thing I did to get it to work in ubuntu which can be found URL...So what can I do to figure out why it stopped recognizing it or to fix it?

I wish that some partitions were hidden and others were read only, moreover I wish that these settings can't be edited by other users (except of course root user). For do this, have I only in "fstab" file in "etc" folder to comment (or delete) lines relatives to partitions that I wish are hides and I set options to "ro" to lines relatives to partitions that I wish are read only?

I want to use dual Monitor on Debian Lenny amd64, I have the nVidia 8600 GTS. I googled several times, I have to change the xorg.conf (as it seems) but I can't - no rights.
And there's another thing... I have a dual boot system along with the openSUSE HDD but I can't open it. And using openSUSE I can't read or write on the Debian's HDD. How can I change that?

I just installed Debian and I find it very difficult to read the text in the GUI windows. I cannot explain it well--which is one of the reason I probably cannot find the answer.But, it looks like some of the text was printed (it these were printed pages) from a printer that is running out of toner. If I switch to the ctrl-alt-F2 terminal then the text is easy to read. I have installed on other partitions Ubuntu and Windows in both of these operating systems everything looks fine

Debian 8.2 .... Desktop is lxde BTW. It auto-mounts the drive, and sometimes it's writeable for a while, but then it all goes read-only out of the blue. su doesn't work. I tried installing autofs and it doesn't mount at all.
/var/log/messages:

syslog looks much the same.
I'm not an lxde fan. The file manager always was crashy. But I'm on an Acer Aspire, and too many desktop managers just can't deal with the screen ratio.

I've downloaded a cbr (comic book) file. But I couldn't manage to read it. Tried built-in Document Viewer, Comix and mcomix. Nothing worked. Document Viewer says the file is full of empty pages, others show broken paper instead of the images. But when I unpack it, the images are normally unpacked. I can't attach it because I get an "Internal Server Error". I can however upload to somewhere else if you want to check the file.

I removed a hard drive from a failed Buffalo LinkStation NAS. The drive was 1TB and formatted in XFS. I installed Debian Linux on my Mac using Virtual Box just so I could get to the files.
When plugin the drive (via USB) two volumes show up, but there's another that I can't seem to open (and may have all of the shared files I need). It's the largest volume (over 900 MB).
I keep reading to run xfs_repair, but when I type that in the terminal, I am given "command not found". I am not sure how to use it.
Also when I try to open the volume I am given "can't open superblock" error.
I am not too familiar with using Linux and ma just trying to get to my files.

I have Squeeze (amd64).During sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude -y full-upgrade && sudo aptitude autoclean the command stalled and did not react on ^C so I forced-quit the terminal window. When rebooting ... the system tells me it is read-only.To solve the problem I booted from Debian Live CD and did sudo mount -n -o -t ext3 remount,rw /dev/sda1 /.I also did sudo fsck /dev/sda1 and it was clean./etc/mtab gives /dev/sda1 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0
But still ... when I boot from disk ... it is read-only.

I have been using icedove for quite sometime. Now I feel I need to also use the flexibility that mutt allows. In such a case, is there a way that mutt can read icedove mails, maybe via some plugin or other. I do not want to do the import icedove mails to mutt as there would be duplication of metadata and space.

From one day to the other, I can't read Japanese anymore. I could yesterday, I can't anymore, be it with firefox or chromium that I just installed ! This is madness. With one browser I have empty white square, and the other white squares containing four numbers.

I have a removable USB pen drive, that all of a sudden, when it got 99% used, stopped working. When I try to mount it (manually) I get "can't read superblock". I know there is a ton about this on Google and I've read a lot of them, but most seem to be about formatting a drive, or fiddling in fstab. I'm trying to run fsck on it, and it finds errors, (among them: two FAT-tables?) but then it just freezes, and CPU goes to 100 % and I let it be like that for 4 minutes, before aborting. Scandisk in windows is rubbish (fails to start), and running "chkdsk /f F:", in windows, results in nothing, the shell crashes immediately. Is it normal for fsck to get stuck and just chew up CPU? It does not seem to be reading from the drive, according to conky. Also, is it possible to run fsck as normal user, (at my work)?

There is a notifications-daemon, which shows sometimes infos like "5 updates, 5 security issues". It is represented by "i" in the system tray bar.Unfortunately, I cannot read the whole text of the messages there. I tried to click on it, right click, drag and what ever...Right now I have a line there "In order to complete this upgrade,...". And I cannot read it completely. How do I work with these notifications? Btw, KDE is running.

Trying to go through some old hard drives I'd saved from a Mac we tossed years ago. Using a Sabrent USB adapter (USB-DSC9) I connected it to the Debian box and it mounts as /media. Here's the weird thing: although I can read all the random stuff, the directory with all my actual documents shows up as "you do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents". When I try to fix this with chmod, it tells me that the drive is read-only. Grr.
How do I mount the drive so that it's not read-only?

Whenever Debian is installed, a mail client is also installed. I don't have the faintest idea what is happening below the surface, but if something happens with the system, like a failed cronjob, a mail is sent to my account on that computer. I can't recall it exactly, but I think during Debian installation I had to specify where system mail has to go to. In my case I am installing as jlinkels, so all mail directed to root goes to jlinkels. I am not sure if that redirection is still asked, on older versions I know it was, but I can't remember I had to tell that while installing newer versions. Anyway, on all boxes, automatically a folder /home/jlinkels/Maildir is created and within that the subfolders new cur and tmp. Whenever I log in in such a box mail is checked, and when I run mail I get a listing and can read the mail.
However, now I am running a server for which it is extremely important that I get the mail if there is something exceptional, and this mail does not function. That is, I don't have the ~/Maildir/new ~/Maildir/cur etc, but for some reason I do have ~/new, ~/cur etc. Now when something happens, root receives a mail. This mail is placed in ~/new. But when I run mail I see that there is no new mail for me. Still there is new and unread mail in ~/new. Installed Debian Lenny on this box and did nothing unusual. I have installed tens of Lenny boxes and run thru the installation procedure almost with my eyes closed so I am pretty sure I did not do anything out of the ordinary on this box. Still the mail is screwed up.
A few observations:
- the system (programs like cron) know they should send mail to root. This happens. I see in the header the mail is sent to root.
- the mail system (whatever that is) knows that mail to root should be sent to jlinkels
- the mail system even knows where to find the mailboxes of jlinkels
- the mail client does not know where to find new mail for jlinkels
I have seen that exim4 is running on the box. Is exim4 responsible for forwarding and dropping the mail in ~/new? How this mail is produced, how it is dropped in my mailbox, and how the mail client can find this.
