Hardware :: Configuring Peripherals And Hardware ID (looking For A Generic)?
May 31, 2010
I am running a Debian 5.0.4 OS and running in a BASH shell I am currently working on trying to figure out how to 'Enable and disable integrated peripherals'. So, I am assuming this means I need to be able to access the kernel, BIOS, or CMOS setup ... I have had no luck so far, so how do enable/disable them? I think these also will be solved by getting into the kernel/BIOS/CMOS setup but just in case. I am trying to 'set hardware ID for the different devices' and be able to 'configure systems without external peripherals such as keyboards' I am assuming the second one has to do with remote login, but any help in these sections will be extremaly beneficial

There is a bug in the upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. I have repeated it three times. During the "installing the upgrades" section, the upgrade always stops or freezes in the same place. The Terminal message stops at "Configuring linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic". "update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-21-generic". I have a new DELL laptop computer that came with Ubuntu 9.04 pre-installed. I am using the Update Manager and have previously updated all files for 9.04 before clicking on upgrading to 9.10.

The free Windows application Speccy returns very useful information about the hardware + software installed on a computer. Before installing Linux as double-boot, I was wondering if there were an up-to-date Linux hardware database so that I could tell users to run Speccy, and then somehow check against that database to make sure their hardware is supported, so that I don't waste time trying to install Linux on unsupported hardware?

I am using Debian Linux. I completely forgot the username and password to log on. I looked on the internet to find a way to reset those, but all the solutions involve making a boot disk or using some peripheral. The computer I am using does not have any peripherals (only keyboard and screen) because it's an onboard computer in a robot.
Is there a way to reset the password and username without using peripherals (and without losing the information on the hard disk)?

Since last year I have this problem and it seems nobody knows how to fix it. Here is my post from last year, commenting the same problem [URL] Well, this is what happens to me. I insert my ubuntu/ubuntu studio DVD to my pc. It starts from the DVD and the first screen appears. I select "install ubuntu" and then it starts to load for like 5-10 secs.
Then another screen pops up, this one tells me to choose the main language, BUT.. i cant use my keyboard in this screen. It just.. Dies. I tried with like 5 keyboards, with USB keyboards and serial keyboards, it just happens everytime. I was an avid user of ubuntu studio back like 2 years ago, with my laptop, but with this PC (gateway GT4230m) i just cant do it anymore. Its very frustrating.

spent endless time trying to get multiple monitors going and have had a bit of success -- got two showing just fine. However, when I try to access the page I mention in the title, Slackware hangs hard -- only the red button will get me out. This is recent. I had dual monitors going before and that didn't happen, I think one monitor was at 800x600 and the other at some wide screeen rez. Anyway all by itself the 800x600 decided to go to 1024x768. Now, note that it all shows fine, no issues of any kind on the monitors themselves, xrandr works

I switched to the generic-pae kernal image, which works great, but update now wants to update both generic and generic-pae.
How can I set it up so that it only uses generic-pae?
If I try to deselect generic in synaptic it just wants to mark it again.

I've heard back and forth about whether the generic ATI drivers in Fedora 11 provides functional 3d support...as of installing F11 (64) i was impressed by the initial capability of the generic drivers but no 3d support as Desktop Effects could not be enabled.( using ATI Radeon HD 2400 ) what are the usual tips and tricks to get 3d functionality in this environment?

As you know that GNU-C provides qsort() function in <cstdlib> in this prototype
Code:
You may know about Selection Sort Algorithm already, I want to write a function to perform Selection Sort but it can apply generally for many type: int, long, float, double... like qsort() above.

Here's a PHP5 script I wrote to do automated backups from my main hard drive, to a separate backup hard drive. I run it overnight using a cron job.I tried to write it so it is clonable and easily modified for making backups of your system. Please take it and modify it to suit your needs.This script will copy the contents of a directory to the backup drive. It creates a unique directory backup name, based on the current time. When there are more thanNUMBER_REQUIRED_BACKUPS in the backed-up directory $BACKUP_GROUPNAME, the oldest backup will be deleted. This allows you to keep n number of the latest backups. You will need to create the $BACKUP_GROUPNAME directory on the backup drive, so the script has somewhere to write the backed-up directories to.PHP Code:
#! /usr/bin/php<?php# lastupdated: Sun Jul 11 20:54:29 BST 2010# PHP script to backup the contents of /etc directory# to /backup/system/fedora/12/etc#

What is the difference between those kernels that you can install from this PPA:
[URL]
ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa
...which currently has 2.6.35-19.25-generic
AND
[URL]
...which currently has 2.6.35.3-maverick (even has later version 2.6.36-rc2-maverick)
AND
[URL]
...which currently has 2.6.35.3 (even has later versions 2.6.36-rc2 and 2.6.36-rc2-git4)
Are they the same? Which is newer? Is 2.6.35-19-generic = 2.6.35.3?

I have a Medion Akoya E1212 netbook (which is an ALDI rebrand of the MSI Wind netbook) and naturally I'm trying to get the longest battery life possible Already running Ubuntu (Lucid) Netbook Edition (though Moblin seems interesting too) and of course keeping a close look at powertop.One of the things powertop can do, is disable unused USB devices [with the 'U' key]. There is, however, one persistent USB device that keeps popping up in powertop's list no matter how often I press 'U': my SD-card drive (which is apparently internally connected via USB). And it appears in the list regardless of whether I have inserted an SD-card in it or not.
When I use Nautilus to navigate to computer://, I can see the SD-card drive as an icon named "USB Generic Multicard", sitting next to my internal harddisk. I can rightclick and "eject" it, causing the icon to disappear, and the entry in powertop's list disappears as well.My question, is there a way to make sure that the "USB Generic Multicard" USB device doesn't mount at all during startup? [Or, preferably that it detects whether an SD card it present (rarely) to decide whether to mount or not].And if anyone knows the command-line command to "eject" the USB Generic Multicard device, that would also be great cause it would save me starting Nautilus every time (which is slow).

I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a USb drive, using the 4gb persistence option, and tried to install all available updates. The process went smoothly until it tried to update the kernel, and it just refuses to do that. I now only have 1.5gb of space left, that might possibly be causing the problem?Here's the terminal output of sudo dpkg --configure -a
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic (2.6.35-25.44) ...

recently I upgraded to test Ubuntu Natty. It's very unstable, so I don't recommend you trying it yet.
Anyways, the thing is that when I upgraded it build two new kernels 2.6.38-8-generic-pae and 2.6.38-8-generic. For some reason when I boot with 2.6.38-8-generic-pae nothing happens, and I can boot only with 2.6.38-8-generic. So I have a couple of questions:
1) What's the difference between the pae kernel and the generic kernel
2) Does anybody else experience this problem?

Just installed the patches/upgrades for the 2.6.35.30 kernel. Ubuntu will not boot without me typing "y" and hitting enter and later hitting the enter key again. Just have a blank screen unless I do this. Discovered what to do by booting into recovery mode. Had to make a display selection. Just guess at the enter key the second time the boot process stopped. I new to Ubuntu so don't know where to look in the logs to provide additional information to help trouble shoot the problem. If some one can guide me as to where to look I'll post log info. Hope this is the right place to post this. If I need to make a bug report let me know.
Forgot to add: HP Pavalion dv5000 (dv5020us to be specific). AMD Turion64 processor. ATI Radeon Mobility 200M video.

I was previously using kernel-huge until a slackware update caused some problems for me, so I switched over to kernel-generic but now I'm wondering if it uses both of my cpus on my dual core processor.

We need to create a "golden" or generic image as a template to VMWare so we can deploy test servers quickly. I can create a template in VMWare but it's a duplicate of the system I made it from. How do I "unconfigure" the template system so that it goes to the installation screen to input things like host name, I/P address and so on?

One thing I always do is switch to the vmlinuz-generic(-smp) kernel in /etc/lilo.conf and build an initrd (see /boot/README.initrd for details). The "huge" kernel used by default is only meant for installing and not recommended for everyday use. It has a lot of drivers you don't need built-in and uses more RAM than the "generic" kernels.
still trying to find my feet and get to know Slackware. In one of my previous threads, 'things to do after installing' i was told the above message. When i installed, it used the huge kernel, but i'm unsure if that was the one that got installed. when i start slackware up, above the login screen it say, �wecome to Linux 2.6.37.6-smp (tty1)� I was wondering how to swich to the generic smp kernel, do I just change the vmlinuz to the desired, in lilo?

I'd like to compile a generic kernel for my netbook on my desktop. They are both F12 64bit. On my desktop can I do:
make xconfig
make
make modules_install
Then copy the folder to my netbook then:
make install? Is there a better way? I don't really want to make .rpms.

If I low level formatted a drive, then created a partition table, and installed Linuxes with their bootloaders *only* on their root partitions, would the one with the bootable flag set boot?
To put it another way; does the process of creating a partition table using Linux tools put generic code in the MBR?

I did an update recently and it won't continue booting past a certain point - which I think is rather strange, the last message I can manage to see is:
Code:
* Starting init crypto dicks...
No. That's not a typo. I couldn't believe my own eyes - I took a picture: [URL]
I can guarantee you this is not a joke. I suspect my video card is aging on me as I get a 'London Pound" symbol on my CLI terminal sometimes.
Anyway, that's not the real issue for me. I cannot start into 2.6.31-17, but I can start into 2.6.31-16 - is anyone else having this problem?
Edit: Restarting doesn't give me the crypto dicks thing but I still get another common error:
Code:
init: ureadahead-other main process (###) terminated with status 4
