Has anyone installed Fedora 14 with the above MoBo and using a video card in the PCIe x16 slot? I'm experiencing boot failures when I try to boot using cards in either the x16 or x8 slots as my default video.

I just replaced my motherboard with a Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H. I am happy to report that the OS (Ubuntu 10.04) was smart enough to boot up using the pre-existing software RAID 5 (four disks) and work fine with the new motherboard, CPU, and memory. However, since the new motherboard has a nice onboard display, I removed the PCIe graphics card (which was needed on the old board), and am now trying to configure the OS to use the "OnChipVGA."
This is what lshw produces
And here is what I get with startx:X.Org X Server 1.7.6
Fatal server error:
In understanding with Fedora logs are trying to tell me and if I need to adjust some settings on my system to address these issues.
The system motherboard (Gigabyte GA-MA785GT-UD3H) has onboard graphics. I understand that some of the system RAM is taken up by the graphics subsystem.
Very occasionally, I am seeing Nautilus and some other apps crash with SIGSEGV errors. Also, on the couple of occasions, parts of the display started going black - minimising and maximising the window redrew the area as before. This appears to be to do with memory access issues. I have already tested my RAM, applied the latest BIOS update on the mobo. I'm trying to understand if this is some sort of memory access violation that is resulting from the Linux kernel going off and accessing the wrong parts of the RAM and if there is a way to tell it that the graphics and system areas of the RAM are separate, through BIOS settings or kernel parameters and such?
Some questions:
1. Is my system using AGP? I don't think so. I understand AGP is on its way out. So what does the below log output mean wrt AGP?
2. Which part of the log is actually describing the memory assignment for the graphics memory?
3. Would it be of any use trying iommu=noaperture here? I am trying this out, but I don't understand if it is helping in anyway.
Have done a Google search and read on AGP, iommu, shared memory for graphics, but their interaction with each other at the hardware level and how Fedora is handling this is not sinking into my dull brain.
I have put up the system configuration, BIOS settings, logs etc for your perusal here [url]. Parts that caught my attention are highlighted.
Now, onto the bits that has my attention:

I did a pg_dump of our data warehouse, and it is 26 gigabytes. I wanted to load this data into a different database product (one that forked from Postgresql, so its syntax is very similar).I needed to change the syntax of the "COPY" command in the pg_dump output, remove references to "public", and change the table owner name. sed did these for me (albeit slowly). The output from pg_dump is a file called "pg-dump-output.sql".
pg_dump produces this:

A friend of mine bought a prebuilt system from a local computer store that has the Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H motherboard and he says he can boot Fedora off the CD but cannot install it as it doesn't detect the harddrive.
I assume it can't detect the SATA Controller as I am pretty sure hard drives use a universal driver so the only way for it not to detect the hard drive is if the controller is not detected.
I was wondering if anyone here has this motherboard and has this problem.
I think I gave him a Fedora 12 CD. (EDIT: It's Fedora 11 judging by the filename of the ISO I have on my Desktop...)
I myself haven't used Linux in a while since I completed my Linux course and this game I play needs Windows, but I am trying not to play that game as much anymore though because of free time issues... I have an Ubuntu Dualboot but have become used to Windows again. I am gonna try using Linux in a VM to get accustomed to it again, this way I can play with different versions/distros and still have the Windows 7 host as a fallback is something doesn't work...
I recently installed Fedora 13 on an 80 gigabyte hard drive, and it split the space in two, giving root and the normal partition both 36 gigabytes. I need at least 60 gig or more for my home partition. What can I do to shrink the root one? I currently do not have accsess to the install media or a rescue disk.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I tried to run the fedora 12 disk setup (iso), instead of having the nice fedora logo I quickly get tetxt lines showing all my sata disks and USB card readers properly detected though... and the instal freezes. This PC is a mobo Gigabyte G41m-ES2h with 2x500 GB WD disk... Very basic config with a wolfdale 2.93 GHz + 4 GB DDR2 ram... I don't quite understand as Ubuntu 9.1 setup does the same thing whereas "superGRUB" launched from a CD detects my disks & partitions normally.
This fedora 12 disk is ok (fedora 12 installed on 2 other laptops in dual boot) and on the first satat disk there is a Vista. Really don't get it but isolinux has had sometimes issues with sata disks on some of my previous PCs.
On my computer was 2 gigabyte memory and I bought still 1 gigabyte memory. In the Ubuntu show only 2.75 instead 3 GB.I have old computer. P-IV but in the manualook for my motherboard say that can use to 4 gigabyte of memory. I have 2 questions.Why in the Ubuntu don't show all 3 GB memory?If I buy still 1 gigabyte of memory, itshe will show 4 GB in the Linux or not?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis thread [URL].. was the only one I could find on this forum that addressed the problem I am having. It also involved a Gigabyte motherboard. I recently purchased a Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3 motherboard which is a version 1.3 . I have a v. 1.0 of the same motherboard which I have used regularly for a year.
The problem I have is that newer versions of Ubuntu (10.04 and 10.10) don't boot reliably with the new motherboard. It will boot up to where it says "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom. Done." and then will stop. If I hit any key on the keyboard the boot finishes and everything is OK. Sometimes it will hang like this but often it will boot successfully without assistance. I need it to boot by itself reliably every time.
Older versions of Ubuntu (8.04 and 9.04) boot just fine with the new board. If I put the drive with the 10.04 installation in my older Gigabyte v.1.0 computer, it boots reliably every time. Interesting to note that Windows XP sp1 installs fine on the older v. 1.0 computer but I need XP sp2 in order to do a successful installation on the v 1.3. I have stress-tested the new setup for 6 hours without incident and memtested the RAM for 4 hours without error. I have even swapped RAM between the two with no resolution.
I can't find any thing in syslog to explain this. It stops just before the splash screen comes up. I removed splash with no positive result.
one2busy here, Just got a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P Mb and Core i5 750. Originally had XP, then Win7, then Win7 64bit ..... all work fine. Tried to install Ubuntu 10.04, when partition section popped up it did not detect either of my Hitachi SATA drives..I went to the website and the website for this Bd, at the bottom of the page, it says that 3rd party drivers are needed for linux. Does anybody know anything about this?

After "yum install emacs" & "yum install emacs-ess", I was able to install emacs on my X86_64 running Fedora 10.
If I run one session of emacs everything works fine.
Once I start a second session and try to resize or move the emacs window, the system stops responding.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to know as to how to save a boot order sequence...In my desktop PC I have a gigabyte MOBO housing Pentium Dual Core processor...
Whenever I have to boot from an external USB , I have to press del at boot , go into CMOS features and change the Order of Booting 1-DVD 2 USB-FDD 3. USB-HDD 4. Local Hard Disk
The problem is that everytime I have to repeat the above to boot from USB...I am also confused between USB - HDD and USB - FDD...Some utils partition and use the USB like a HDD while it is not the case with FDD I guess
How do you freeze the boot order so that on inserting any USB / External HDD at boot , the system should give it the priority over local hard disk..
Also in Giga MOBO I noticed that there is no "generic USB" mentioned in BIOS...It lists the USB device by name say "Kingston Data Traveler " "Sandisk Micro" etc ....
What should I do to make the boot order permanent?
Running Fedora FC14x86_64, Mobo gigabyte GA-880GM. processor AMD dual core athlon
Here's the problem:
I've checked the correct pins on the DB9 are going to the correct socket pins on the mobo, connected up a very verbose GPS to the port, and absolutely nothing !
I tried winbows XP on another partition and got nothing in a hyperterminal.
Loaded puppy on an ancient laptop ( P2), and checked with the same cables and plenty of date from the GPS.
Strangely enough running tcpdump -i /dev/ttyS0 gives this:-
Any ideas on what I've missed to get this port up and running ?

I've found hints of Linux and many sources for Windows drivers, but so far haven't turned up any candidates for my Debian Lenny system.

I want to start using Ubuntu again but I gave up ages ago trying to get it to work with my Gigabyte EP45-DQ6 motherboard.I cant run from disc and I can't install.If I try to run it just takes me to a black screen with blinking cursor and that's all it does.If I try to install, basically the same.I can't get anywhere doing anything, so where do I start?How can I get it working on my system?By the way, this is with the latest Ubuntu.No, it's not a corrupt download or burn. I tried to download and burn, didn't work.I ordered a free cd, it did the same.This is an issue that is NOT related to the disc or the download of Ubuntu.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get the 5.1 audio working on the gigabyte g31m-es2l mobo which has ALC883 audio chipset.Its onboard audio.
Its a fresh installation of ubuntu.I have set the sound properties as below.The speaker test only works for the front right and front left speakers.Rest other speakers are muted.
Also tried editing the /etc/pulse/daemon.conf file with uncommenting the audio channels from 2 to 6 and rebooting.Still its not working.
Tried running the following command and again only the front right and left speakers light up.
I had U10.10 installed prior to running U10.10 Desktop, and the wlan worked flawlessly on that.My understanding is that the packages are the same and so this should be installed with Desktop, however it will not action the final connection. The wlan is finding networks and prompts for the Key when connecting, but it never actually connects.
