I've been running a Mythbuntu server for a while and have decided to add a second tuner card. Unfortunately I only have 1 x PCIe slot left on my motherboard so the Dvico Fusion DVB-T Plus card is about the only thing I can use without replacing my MB.Anyway, this card should be supported. But I can't for the life of me get it to work. There is a driver that should work: http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~chrisp/Linux-DVB/DVICO/However when I attempt to make the source I get an error which seems to refer to the incorrect kernel headers. My box uses 2.6.32-23-generic, but the error refers to 2.6.32-22-generic.Here is the output when I attempt to run the 'make' command, I have followed the tutorial mentioned in the link above exactly.
Code:
root@alma:/opt/source/xc-test# make
make -C /opt/source/xc-test/v4l
I have a Linksys WUSB54GC usb dongle and I have exhausted every thing I know about making this thing work in linux. I am using Fedora 13. Since it is not ready I can not view any networks. Any ideas would be great.

Recently upgraded to 11.2, but I think it was a downgrade. VMware 6.5.2 was working great on 11.1. On 11.2 it just fails miserably both during the install and trying to build the modules. So I downloaded VMware 6.5.4 and it hangs even worse during the VMware-Player configuration (doing a make I think).So, let's try out VMware 7. It installed great. Unfortunately I didn't read the release notes - it requires a PAE processor, which I don't have So tried to uninstall VMware 7 so I could try just the VMware-Player free product. VMware was not installed with rpm so rpm can't uninstall it. Then removed all the files manually as per this VMware KB: Manually uninstalling VMware Workstation from Linux hosts VMware-Player installation issues a popup saying "component vmware-workstation 7.0.0 has unsatisfied dependency: vmware-player-app=3.0.0." Before I go back to 11.1 or to some other distro, would anyone know how to really get rid of VMware 7 so that I can try the player only?
The first time I attempted to install the OS I got to a blank screen with a cursor (But the install completed sucessfully)On my second Attempt i managed to get to grub-rescue.Basically I created a new partition for the OS, it was an ext4 filesystem, and the mount point was "/" it was a primary partition. Then I created a swap area. The boot went to my External HDD. And upon restarting and booting into grub-rescue.The third time I can't exactly remember what happened but my hdd didn't even appear in my boot option list.
I decided to upgrade finally. It didn't go smoothly and right now I'm not really sure what is going on. During the install when it was scanning my disks it threw a timeout error but continued anyway. I completed the install but one thing that seemed odd to me is that I wasn't asked about packages or anything and it never prompted me for any other CDs. I wasn't sure what was going on. I did a re-install but same results.
So I figured fine I'll just configure things myself. I went to mount my other partitions and was unable to. I'm not sure what was done but I've not been able to get to my old data. I'm not even sure where to start because things are so different. I ran fdisk -l and I see these devices:
/dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/dm-0 /dev/dm-1
Under /dev/sda It shows /dev/sda1 but tells me that partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary it then shows /dev/sda2. This has a System of Linux LVM. Same with my /dev/sdb1. I am guessing this is where my 2 old partitions went. I looked up LVM which I didn't know anything about before. Previously I was about to mount my partitions directly so I'm pretty sure they were not LVM. So somehow these got converted?
I don't know what /dev/dm-0 and /dev/dm-1 are but I do get errors on them:
Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table
Right now I'm trying to simply get to my data once again or determine if it's unrecoverable. At this point I'm at a loss as to how to proceed. I know I didn't tell the install to format anything other than the first partition. Oh and after the two Fedora installs I did take a peek at Unbuntu. I started that install and it told me that the partition I was installing on was too small. So I canceled it. It showed the other partitions but I could see no way to read them.
The shortcomings of Macro Sh1te software forced me to rearrange my HDs. HD0 is the boot drive and contains MS stuff. HD1 is my Fedora drive. I ran an apparently good install onto HD1. Unfortunately, I can't get FireFox to connect to the WWW. I tried to use the admin. view to get eth0 working, without success. As I would for windoze, do I need to download and manually install a driver for the RealTek network adapter chips on my AUSA M4A785-M mobo?
I decided to go ahead and upgrade my 9.10 amd64 to 10.04 ( a little late in the game I know, but I liked Karmic) Well I goofed when prompted to upgrade grub. After reading some other posts about various grub issues, I did the Boot Info Script (results posted below).
Code:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010 ============================= Boot Info Summary: ============================== => Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in

I have a external usb with a Ubuntu OS on it that I was able to boot into and do some digging. When I upgraded I selected the NTFS partition instead of the actual /boot partition and jacked it all up. Im currently downloading the 10.04 liveCD to repair the grub on the /boot after I repair the MBR on the NTFS partition. Hopefully I can attempt to repair my Linux partitions by reinstalling the Grub that is on the 10.04 liveCD WITHOUT formatting my current partitions and still be able to keep all my current configurations.
So I am trying to setup a Samba server to share out our SAN environment to our windows clients. This is my first time playing with samba, so running into quite a few obsticals along the way.
Environment: SLES 10.3 Samba 3.0x (Original RPMs in distro)
My end goal is to allow anyone in our Active Directory environment to access the shared folders from Samba and map the File permissions to 755 and Directory to 777.First I tried just using Kerberos client and winbind and added it to the AD domain. This worked, but mapped the wrong UIDs (the standard 10000 series). Also the permissions were mapped all wrong.Then I had the great idea to use the Server for NIS on windows 2008, it makes the PDC run a NIS domain that is conjoined to AD. This really didnt work at all. I loaded the AD schema with the correct UIDs and all that good stuff, but didnt seem to take.
So how would any of you approach this?Should I keep trying the NIS config, or use Kerb and winbind? Can a box be part of a NIS domain and AD at the same time?
Took an FC12 system to FC13 via 'preupgrade'There was a REALLY old version of gimp-print-cups in RPM, and the installer announced "a fatal error occurred". However, everything else seemed to download properly and I allowed the upgrader to reboot the system.
a) grub boots the kernel, then the kernel can't find root and panics. It does this because it can't root file system with root=UUID= kernel option. If I manually tweek the grub line to use root=/dev/sdx, kernel finds its root and boots up to the next problem.
b) GUI environment not launched. Init scripts die on "error loading modules.dep". Sure enough - one is not there. Ran "depmod" to generate it ,and rebooted. System reboots into GUI, where I login to find the next problem.
c) Evolution won't start. Reason turns out the evolution-data-server from FC12 is still present. Did a check on just how many other FC12 RPM's are present: 1100. Yeah - over 1000. About 850 of the FC12 RPM's also had FC13 replacements installed. Did an "rpm -e" on these. Also had to do some remove action on mkinitrd, nash, plymouth-scripts-0.8.0, and parted-1.9.0 as there are replacements for these utilities under different package names. That cleaned up the system some, to present me with the next problem.
d) yum package repository still linked into FC12. Removed fedora-release-12-2.noarch and then I could "yum install" evolution and a few other packages properly.
I've done one other FC12->FC13 upgrade today, and that went flawlessly. So, I think in general the upgrade works fine. It just looks like if preupgrade finds anything amiss, it doesn't take care of a lot of things and generally leaves you with an unbootable mess to clean up.
I have a rather interesting issue. I have set up a home network and a fedora 14 box as a server. I am running the version of Sendmail that came with fedora 14. I wrote a PHP script that changes http access passwords(to give authorized access to the outside by multiple users) once a week and emails the users their new passwords. It also finds out my WAN IP (because it is dynamic, and I am using a Linksys router with NAT), and E-Mails users when this has changed along with the new access password. I have Sendmail set up so that it should log on to my websites mail server (smtp.example.net) and send the email through it.
The problem I am having is that I have set up my home server with an internal domain like exampledomain.home, but the wan IP reverse lookup returns xx.xxx.xxx.xxx.static.xxx.xx.charter.com, so that when my sendmail server connects to my smtp server for my website it gives "EHLO server.exampledomain.home" then my smtp server rejects it because the connecting IP (WAN IP) resolves toxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.static.opls.la.charter.com gives a host not found error. Or it gives the error because server.exampledomain.home is obviously not a valid host name on the internet. I was hoping someone out there had some insight on how I could get around this without editing or adding any DNS entries to my websites domain. I would also like to avoid getting a static IP for my house as it is more expensive. I thought about making a dynamic DNS entry with dyndns.com and then making Sendmail use that host name. I dont know how to trick sendmail like that though.Here is a copy of my sendmail.mc (scrubbed of course).

I have Karmic installed, but still using old grub from Jaunty. I decided to get rid of my Vista dual boot so I used gparted, deleted the partitions and moved and enlarged my Ubuntu ones. Grub then didn't work, presumably because I deleted the MBR. I then installed Opensuse 11.2, which I assume still uses old grub too. This gave an Opensuse option which worked, and a Karmic option which took me to the Karmic bootloader, but Karmic did not load. I then tried some instructions to repair grub using the Ubuntu installer, installing grub to my extended partition. This tells me there is no operating system found. I then tried following the instructions at [URL].
As of this morning, whenever I open a terminal window, the letter 'p' no longer works. Uppercase 'P' works fine in a terminal window, but lowercase 'p' doesn't do a thing. It isn't my keyboard, either (I can type 'p' here fine).I tried checking the "Keyboard Shortcuts" (Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts..) for the terminal window, but 'p' is not assigned.
I have a real love/hate relationship with Ubuntu. A few weeks back my Windows XP crashed and I had to take it to a tech to have my drive wiped and the operating system reinstalled. Just when I got XP back up and working perfectly someone told me to try Ubuntu. I made the Ubuntu 10.10 boot installation disc and installed it. Although I partitioned the drive during the install I was never able to reboot to Windows and thus lost all the files and programs I had just finished installing.
Okay. long story short: I got used to running Ubuntu and started to like it. Then this morning I was prompted to upgrade to Natty 11.04. After the install I got a message about being low on utilities and to boot in the Ubuntu Classic mode, which I was not able to do.
So now my machine is virtually non-functional. It won't run any programs but sometimes if I'm lucky I can get the computer to shut off without pulling the plug from the wall. I think I just need to wipe the drive and start over. Can someone tell me how to do this using DOS without having to make another long trip to my tech? Luckily I have a Windows XP laptop to use to access this forum.
I recently installed CentOS 5.5 on a Acer Revo with RaLink RT3090 wireless card (RaLink RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe). Everything works great except for the wireless card. I've looked at the ELRepo repository, but there is no support for this particular driver. Has anyone had any success with this card or am I stuck with no wireless.
Just upgraded my system from 13.0 to 13.1 Most things went pretty smoothly, but I tried 'startx' before the post-upgrade/config reboot and the system hung - "time to upgrade my video drivers", I thought. Upgraded to Nvidia 195.36.15*. X works perfectly, and a modprobe shows the 'nvidia' module loaded. So far so good.
However, when I try to use any vesa modes in lilo, I get a blank screen after the BIOS check and the system hangs - even toggling numlock on or off won't work... So I can only boot up in text mode. This makes me unhappy, partially because I like penguins, but also because it is an absolute insult to my new (old) monitor. I thought this could be to do with the nouveau conflicts reported by -current users some days ago, but the respective blacklist file is present so I'm stuck as to what to do... *I've tried 195.36.15, 195.36.24 and the latest 2xx beta drivers. All exhibit the same behaviour.
EDIT - forgot to post my video card specs. It's an 8500gt w/ 256mb, 128-bit DDR3.
I have OpenVPN set up on my server at home to allow me into my home network when I'm away from home. When I set it up, I tested it using my friend's wifi so I know it works on a local geographic scale.Now I'm away from home, the TLS handshake fails to complete within 60 seconds. I assume it's timing out, as I can tracepath to the server on port 1194 successfully.From reading the OpenVPN documentation, I thought that adding "tls-timeout=120" to the client's config file would double the time allowed,but the handshake still fails with the same error message:
Code: Tue Oct 19 10:45:17 2010 us=930956 TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity) Tue Oct 19 10:45:17 2010 us=931012 TLS Error: TLS handshake failed
Why is the option not being read correctly from the file - does it need to be in the server's config file also?
Zypper ref stalls: Repository 'Apps Update' is up to date.

And YAST: File '/repodata/repomd.xml' not found on medium [URL]... Has the repo been moved?
I am running my wifi using YAST and IFUP. The card is a zd1211, and works just fine. However lately I have have to "start" it manually after booting. The only way I have found to do this is to open YAST >network settings> and "edit" the card, but NOT change anything, just click through the next buttons and it connects. I have tried using the settings "on boot" and "on hotpug" but always when I reboot, I have to go through the YAST rigmarole. This is a PITA. I am trying to avoid NM as I want to sort this out, not cover it up with more software.
I recently acquired a Gateway with a Radeon video adapter in it.I've tried both the proprietary and open drivers.I've followed the installation instructions here: https:[url]........to no avail. I know that my video adapter is compatible with Ubuntu, because I have seen the explode/fade effect on launcher buttons -- until I reboot.I have even seen all of the screensavers working properly, again, until I reboot.Is there a config file not being set up properly?Additionally, this is what Gateway says about the video adapter:
"ATI Radeon� HD 3200 Graphics with up to 1919MB of HyperMemory� supporting Shader Model 4.0 and Microsoft� DirectX� 10 with AMD RS780MN Chipset"It uses shared memory.
i recently purchased a new custom-built computer and thought i would give ubuntu a shot (read: i'm a linux noob). i'm running 11.04. anyway, i can't get my pci wireless card to work. i downloaded the rt3562 driver from ralink's site, followed the directions in this tutorial url?t=1608095 and i keep getting an error message when i try to do "sudo make":
Hey everyone.. I'm trying to set up a chrooted sftp account using scponly. I'm really close to having the problem cracked, but I'm hitting some kind of wall. I've been following the instructions posted here:[URL]..
Which seem to be pretty thorough and complete. Everything seems to go OK. However when I attempt to connect I get disconnected immediately. Now I know the common problem with this symptom is that /dev/null isn't set up correctly in the chroot jail, but as far as I could tell /usr/share/doc/scponly/setup_chroot set it up correctly. I even tried copying /dev/null manually, but no change.
Another weird thing. If I set my debuglevel to "2", I get no scponly log output. If I set it to 1, I do get output to auth.log, but it's very unhelpful:
