I'm trying to figure out whether my system supports PCI Express without opening up the box. lspci doesn't mention "Express" or "PCI-e" anywhere, but dmesg reports that a "PCI Express Hot Plug Controller Driver" is in use.

I tried the -I option with hdparm , but it is not telling clearlywhether it supports 32-bit or not. The following is the output from the hard drive of my system (hdparm -I ) .

How do you check if a computer's video card will support Kernel Mode Switching BEFORE OS installation?
In this example I have an Acer Aspire AST180-UA381B.
Manufacture website says my video card is: Integrated nVidia MCP61
[URL] ....
Nouveau code list says: NV4C (MCP61) GeForce 6150LE / nForce 400/405, GeForce 6150SE Quadro NVS 210s / nForce 430
[URL] ....
I want to know:
1. How to tell if my graphics card will support KMS before I install the OS?
2. If it does not support KMS which kernel options should be passed to get it to work properly with the nouveau driver?
3. Ultimately I am looking for a tool that should be included in the installation screen that will:
a. identify your hardware: list the hardware detected on the screen
b. highlight with color code any hardware listed that is not supported or poorly supported: in this case graphics drivers
c. perform a quick benchmark test of your hardware: In this case I want the benchmark to tell me what capabilities my graphics card has.
d. automatically recommend and set the best kernel parameters for a successful boot: if the graphics card needs nomodeset or modeset=0 or whatever I want it to do it for me.
Also I started a personal blog about this issue which I intend to compose into guide to assist others with this question. [URL] ....
My goal is to create a boot disc that will automate proper installation of graphics or other hardware for a system BEFORE installation. I would like to see this feature included in the Debian installation screen.
With what command i can check whether my Ethernet card supports gigabit speed Ethernet or not?

So, how do I remove ALSA package without removing DB2 ?PS: Also, db2 installed X11 packages like libx11-dev, libxproto-core-dev etc., which are also not need for me as it is a sever OS.

I am looking for a locally hosted web based mail client that will work on Windows (Vista and up) as well as Linux. Right now, I use mutt (Cygwin mutt on Windows), but I was wondering if there was a simple web based client I could use. It does not need all of the fancy features of mutt, just the ability to send mail and allow me to browse my local mbox files.

I use the bios to dual boot between two disks, (1) this op sys and (2)win98se - where I have a driver that fully supports the nvidia.
The disadvantage to my current situation is that there are some programs - eg Evolution - that assume I can see more than you see with this setup - eg the buttons at the bottom of the screen do not appear and i have to do a trial and error tabbing to get what i want. I just downloaded openoffice and i see that it wants 1000x2000 or so. Thus I wont even try to install it unless i can resolve the adapter thing.
I'm very happy with this fedora - use it for software development. But as I become more fond of it, I would like to use it instead of windows - which I can't unless i can see the whole screen
At one point - in response to a suggestion that I download security updates - I did so and got 2.6.32.12-115.fc12.i686. It was incompatible with my config - put up a screen that looked like a tv test pattern and went into a loop. So I went back to 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.

I do not currently fully understand relationship between binary numbers and ip addresses and subnet addresses; nor am I asking for an explanation here at LQ, when there are plenty at wikipedia and other places...
Even after reading the wikipedia article on it, I still don't grasp it completely, so I was hoping that someone who grasps it in its entirety could answer a simple question.
How can I express the range of ip addresses from 172.22.22.200 - 172.22.22.230 ?
I was trying to make a rule for iptables that only did nat on that specific range of ips, and when i tried used the "-s" flag followed by 172.22.22.200/11 it always changes to 172.0.0.0/11 in the actual rule that is created and displayed by iptables -t nat -L.
I already have many hosts defined on my network, and rather than going through each one and changing its ipaddress to 172.0.0.#, I was hoping to learn a way to represent them in the iptables rule.
I bought the ION Tape Express to convert all my cassette tapes to mp3 on my computer. The software that came on the CD works fine in Virtualbox windows XP. I could be happy with this but would rather use Linux. The problem is Debian Squeeze sees the new USB device but I can't find a program that will record from it. I've tried gnome-sound-recorder, looked at k3b Audacity and several others. It might be because I don't know how to select the usb sound device.

I tried removing and installing flash, but still the same.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I log in with shell It connects and reads the SSL on port 993. The problem is when I use SSL for the email client it gets the error on the email side and it doesn't work. Out going mail on the postfix works, and also incoming and outgoing on my actual server works. I have one email set up there for testing. I am really confused. This is not a self signed SSL either. I tried to create a dovecot.pem but it won't work. How do I create the dovecot.pem for a non-self signed SSL?
here is the path:
ssl_cert_file = /path/to/mail_domain_com.crt
ssl_key_file = /path/to/private/mail.domain.com.key
It should be:
ssl_cert_file = /path/to/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /path/to/dovecot/certs/private/dovecot.pem
When I try to use the mkcert.sh it doesn't put the files in the places it should go. I did edit both the mkcert.sh and the dovecot-openssl.cnf.
