General :: Enabling Execute Disable Mode In Bios On Acer Aspire 5741(Ubuntu 10.10 Upgrade)
Jan 4, 2011I can get into the BIOS just fine but cannot find anything such as NX or Exucute Disable mode( on or off) Does anyone have any ideas? I contacted Acer support and they may be able to help only if I pay for their support. AS of now I have Ubuntu 10.4 installed and upgraded to 10.10 but have black screen with message about (NX) or Execute Disable in bios. The message says---This CPU is family 6, model 37, and has NX capabilities but is unable to use these protective features because the BIOS is configured to disable the capability. Please enable this in your BIOS. I have windows 7 professional on one partition and Ubuntu on the other partition. I can still access Ubuntu 10.4. but have the black screen on 10.10

Feb 21, 2010I have a HP 3310 multifunction unit. Using HPLIP system it will print quite happily (though oddly the printer has to be on before the computer has booted for the networking to work!Now I'm trying to get the hang of scanning 35mm negatives using it + Fedora 12 (32bit). xsane seems to be the way forward, I can get a poor scan back but seem unable to find a way to tell the software I am scanning negatives and so to only scan the areas containing the film strip (HP provide a negative holder taht fixes the strip in right place on glass) to get higher quality scans. Anyone with any experience of scanning 35mm negs using HPLIPs/xsane/HP3310 ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Security :: How To Upgrade BIOS In 10.10
May 22, 2011I have established that there is a BIOS virus in this machine (I have basically done every test that can be done) And I found the flashing utility for upgading and everything, now the only problem left is installing it Whenever I try this happens.....
Code:
./BIOSUpdate/FTS_FlashBIOSUpdateLinuxBootDisk_500110_1005782.SH
Flash FirstBIOS Update Diskette
V5.00 R1.10.2164.A1
[code]....
Now I did that while logged in as root....
sudo ./BIOSUpdate/FTS_FlashBIOSUpdateLinuxBootDisk_500110_1005782.SH
I also tried above command logged in as root and the 'normal' admin account. the usage instructions that I obtained from the manufacturer are: The BIOS Update File is a .sh file (Shell Script), which enables you to create a bootable disk to update the BIOS.The script only works if there is a C-Compiler installed at usr/bin/cc and the user has write access on dev/fd0 (e.g. if not filed as Root).
Ubuntu :: Clonezilla Fails After Bios Upgrade?
Jul 19, 2011I recently set up a Clonezilla server as I have 200+ computers to reimage. Everything was setup and working fine, until I ran into a computer that has a newer BIOS. Grub loads and works fine, but the kernel hangs.
Specs:
Server: Dell OptiPlex 740
Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop x32, kernel 2.6.35-30 generic
Clonezilla version: 2.3.8-32
[code]...
So as mentioned above when I boot the client from PXE to image it, Grub loads, and as it tries to boot, the following lines appear:
Loading vmlinuz-pxe....
Loading initrd-pxe.img.....ready.
Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)....ok
[screen flickers then returns to the above text. Freezes.]
I updated the bios on a machine that previously worked to confirm/replicate the problem. How do I fix this?
OpenSUSE Install :: Upgrade BIOS For A Pure Machine?
Dec 9, 2010I'm attempting to upgrade the BIOS in an ASUS 1005HA netbook. The netbook runs SuSE 11.3, and no other OS. All the BIOS utilities on from ASUS are Windows or DOS based. ASUS has a utility titled afudos that apparently flashes the programmable ROM. Running afudos using the dosemu utility suggests that one needs to create a DOS boot drive, execute afudos during a reboot with the new ROM image located on the drive.
How does one accomplish said task on a netbook without a floppy disc drive? Do I create a bootable DOS USB flash drive that contains just afudos and the new bios flash rom upgrade? And if so, how does one do this? As a side issue, it looks like all the major motherboard vendors do not support Linux. That is, all the motherboard drivers require Windows or DOS.
Fedora Installation :: Dell Inspiron 530 Dead After Bios Upgrade?
Jun 8, 2009I have a dell inspiron 530 desktop with core 2 quad and 4GB memory, running 32bit vista and 64 bit fedora 10. I searched on the web with "can I install 8GB memory on dell inspiron 530", and got couple of articles that says I only needed a bios upgrade.I downloaded bios version 1.0.18 from dell and run that in Windows to replace bios 1.0.12.After it said upgrade successful and asked me whether I wanted to reboot to have the new bios taking effect, and I said yes. And it shutdown the computer, and never came up Now, when power up, I see nothing, not even the "F2 to setup, F12 to boot menu" message, much less the grub selection. Is there a way to revive the computer?

Mar 22, 2011Still in 8.04 hardy heron, ordinary upgrade via automatic upgrade does not work, some essential pieces missing, but also my bios does not support usb cd and my "original" cd drive is broken. So........ I have burnt a cd Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx desktop version
32 bit (intel).
1) I have broken cd drive and old bios, i have usb cd drive instead which is not supported by bios when boot from cd.
2) I have still Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron but if i upgrade to 10.04 from there via automatic upgrade, this does not work, some patches missing, whatever, but upgrade this way does not work and in the end the system is set back to 8.04 again...
3) I have burnt a cd with entire Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx which i had downloaded from the web at ubuntu com; within my 8.04 i want to install all of it, so i want to install 10.04 this way, so a fresh installation via my usb cd (this is also the way i had burnt this cd image; the cd shows all the files so it is the right way burnt), so just not via bios boot, or how to explain this best.

CentOS 5 :: MP BIOS BUG : 8254 Timer Not Connected To APIC IO After Upgrade To 5.4?
Oct 23, 2009I have some virtual machines running with CentOS 5.3 (32 bit) and everything works as expected. To test a possible upgrade I took one of then and did yum clean all yum update after rebooting I get a kernel panic with the following message:
MP BIOS BUG : 8254 timer not connected to APIC IO I know that I can change the boot command not to use APIC and after that the machine boots again but I doubt that there has been any change to the virtual APIC implementation during the upgrade of the OS. Is there anything that iI should exclude from upgrading while working in a vm? I use VMWare Player 2.5.3 build-185404 on a 64 bit Ubuntu 9.04 as host.
General :: BIOS Does Not Load Oracle From USB HDD
May 24, 2010My Setup: Dell Laptop (BIOS allows boot from USB) - Vista 32 bit installed, 4 GB memory
External 500 GB HDD (iOmega) - Partitioned as follows:
NTFS: 50 GB
/boot: 1 GB
below two on one logical volume:
swap: 5 GB
/: rest ~ 440 GBI installed Oracle Enterprise Linux on the external HDD.
Did not install the Grub bootloader as I don't really want a startup boot option. The way I was planning to make it work was: When USB HDD connected and laptop powered up, it'll boot to the Oracle Linux. When the USB drive is not connected and laptop powered up, it'll boot to Vista. When I boot with the USB HDD connected, nothing happens. I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor. The USB HDD light comes on though. Is the above plan possible, or do I have to have a Boot loader installed?
If I have to have a boot loader installed, how can I just install the bootloader and not have to reinstall Linux on the HDD. The Linux drive is currently empty, so I'm open to any good suggestions to partitioning it. I want to keep a small amount of NTFS space on that drive to store some windows files and documents that I can carry around. The rest 450 GB is open for Linux. And I Plan to install Oracle Database and Apps on Linux (which takes about 350 GB of space).

Jan 20, 2010My Atheros ar8132 is not being read by 'lspci' in Linux, or in the BIOS for the computer. It would be easy to say that it is a hardware connection fault, but I had the isuue before and it was fixed by doing an unclean shutdown. I have tried that several times, probably at the expense of some data, to no avail. This computer is not easy to take apart like others since it is a netbook. It is under warranty, but to send it in I would have to take out my new HDD and 2 GB stick of RAM which I really do not want to do

General :: Get Processor Details Without Using Information From Bios?
Jul 31, 2011is there a way to retrieve the processor model without taking information from bios? I don't know which processor is really mounted. I want to set up the right processor timing, but I don't know the processor type. Every time I change the timing for the processor in BIOS another processor type is determined (I should be an Athlon XP +1500, I think, but I don't know really).
I think with less /proc/cpuinfo the results depends on the timing that is set in bios. So could you tell me how I can find out which processor is really mounted?

May 10, 2010Anyone here knows the OpenSuse install CD runthrough? I am using DELL pc's, and remember installing Linux as being a few almost basic steps on my self assembled clone pc's in my youth. Now, over ten years later I want to redo that and return to my old playground. I am using after over 12 years administering MS stuff again applications running on unix (solaris) at my work. Its like homecoming but in a difficult way, I am brainwashed and not really into unix anymore. So... lets install linux again at home. Returning to my favorite Suse distribution in the old days (who knows why).
I went through the installation (Opensuse11) simple, standard to start with, so mainly next (ACPI disabled). Rebooted... and the pc finds no recognized bootable HDD. OK, well, try again, other HDD to be sure, results in the same. Set manually the root partition as active. No go, I feel as a newbie again. What happened to me in those last years? Tried to do it also with a fedora distri - same outcome. When plugging these HDD in another recent (DELL) pc, it also does not recognize the HDD as bootable. Both disks have been part of a system before and functioned; until I changed this system for this other purpose. Probably i am missing something basic??

I later thought it would be better to use Ubunta as I am a newbie to the system and there is more help available. I tried to uninstall Linux Mint through Windows but I am not sure I did. I then installed Ubunta from a CD and the whole system crashed. I am now unable to boot beyond the BIOS screen and am using Ubunta CD to access the internet. I would be grateful if you could shed any light on what has happened. Unfortunately I have no separate boot up disc.
