Hardware :: External Disk Used Between Two Machines - One With ATI One With NVIDIA?
Apr 29, 2009
I have Fedora 9 on an external disk, I use it at home on a desktop and at work on a laptop. It works great except that the two machines have different display adaptors. I currently have the xorg.conf arranged so that I manually comment out the driver that I am not using. It works, but I would like not to have to edit the xorg.conf every time I switch machines:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder63) Thu Feb 5 00:18:17 PST 2009
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
[code]....
I have tried googleing for something but cannot arrive at a satisfactory search phrase to yield the required results. I looked at [URL] and tried multiple Device and Screen sections but could not get it to work.

I have a DNS server on my LAN at 192.168.140.25. Going by the example in the O'Reilly DNS and BIND book I bought, I set up the domain movie.edu and toystory.movie.edu. To my great surprise and delight, I can access toystory.movie.edu in a browser from another PC on the LAN (as long as I add 192.168.140.25 to the DNS servers). Encouraged by this victory, I decided to try to set up another subdomain at coupon.movie.edu. This kind of worked but not completely. Interestingly, I can get to both toystory.movie.edu and coupon.movie.edu on my server, but on my PC, I can only get to toystory.movie.edu, not coupon.movie.edu.
Here is my db.movie.edu:
Code:
$TTL 3h
movie.edu. IN SOA toystory.movie.edu. al.movie.edu. (
1 ; Serial
3h ; Refresh after 3 hours
1h ; Retry after 1 hour
1w ; Expire after 1 week
1h ) ; Negative caching TTL of 1 hour
movie.edu. IN NS toystory.movie.edu.
movie.edu. IN NS coupon.movie.edu.
;
; Host addresses
;
localhost.movie.edu. IN A 127.0.0.1
toystory.movie.edu. IN A 192.168.140.25
coupon.movie.edu. IN A 192.168.140.25
And here is my named.conf:
Code:
options {
directory "/etc/bind";
};
zone "movie.edu" in {
type master;
file "db.movie.edu";
};
zone "140.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "db.192.168.140";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "db.127.0.0";
};
zone "." in {
type hint;
file "db.cache";
};
#include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
#include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";

I'm running a "relatively standard" home network environment. That is, I've got a DSL connection to my ISP, and am running a router/NAT environment that connects a number of machines -- Mac, Windows, and Linux -- to the external network. Internally, all the machines have addresses in the range of 192.168.0.x. However, because of the static/NAT address mapping, the machines whose internal addresses are mapped to external static addresses show up at external hosts as 216.xxx.yyy.zzz (the address range assigned to me by my ISP).
The other machines, which are on the network via NAT, show up as 66.xxx.yyy.zzz, the address assigned by my ISP. Finally, I'm running a local DNS server that handles addressing issues for my domains and sub-domains that are hosted on local machines. All the machines use this local server for their DNS, with my ISP's DNS server as secondary. All of this is to say that it's more or less a pretty typical configuration, and, in general, everything is working fine.
Here's where it gets tricky:
* Machine A is a Fedora 10 linux box, which hosts an externally visible domain and runs, among other things, a web server. It's assigned to one of the addresses that's mapped to a static IP address.
* Machine B is a MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard (10.6). It typically runs at 192.168.0.6, which is NOT one of the addresses mapped to a static address, but "just" a NAT address.
Now, suppose Machine B hits the web browser run by Machine A: the log files should show the traffic arriving from the local address, 192.168.0.6. However, it instead shows up as coming from 66.xxx.yyy.zzz, the external NAT-affiliated address. This seems wrong, especially since all the other machines on my network show 192.168-type addresses when hitting the web server.
I now change Machine B's address to 192.168.0.5 -- one of the statically-mapped addresses. Browsing traffic is now arriving from 192.168.0.5, which is (I think) as it should be. I now change Machine B's address back to 192.168.0.6. The web traffic on Machine B is now reported to be arriving from 192.168.0.6 -- NOT 66.xxx.yyy.zzz. It's complicated by the fact that I don't know where to look for the problem. All the log files on all the machines seem relatively normal; there are least no glaring problems screaming out from them.

I have a rather large USB drive that I'd like to be able to use across the different machines I own. I'm having a hard time figuring out what would be the best file system to use on it to be able to read/write things from the 3 OSs I'm in contact with: Windows, Linux and Mac.

I had a dual boot (windows 7 + debian), both of them installed in my internal hard disk, with the GRUB in it. I have recently installed a second linux distro (mint), but I put it in an external hard disk. Now the GRUB allows me to boot any of the three operating systems, but I need the external disk to do it. It seems that after the mint installation the GRUB is now working from the external disk (if the external disk is not connected, the machine does not boot.) �Is there a way to change the location of the GRUB, to the internal hard disk of my laptop?

I have a Dell XPS M1330, which has a GeForce 8400M GS GPU. The binary (sigh) nVidia driver installed is version 190.53 (installed by sgfxi). This is working well: glxgears gives me about 2600 FPS and compiz is happy.An old Philips 170B is attached by VGA cable. I was looking to set up a method of switching resolution upon connecting to the monitor when working at the desk, since I don't like the 1280x800 resolution of the laptop.
nfortunately, I can't get any output on the external monitor. It does work under Ubuntu, which installed the 180 series binary driver. (Going to an earlier driver is an option, but I want to understand the problem.) Bottom line, I want to work under Debian.As far as I know, nVidia's proprietary driver doesn't support xrandr. At any rate, with he external 170B monitor attached and turned on, I get the following:$ xrandr -qScreen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 800default connected 1280x800+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1280x800 50.0*
1024x768 51.0 52.0
960x540 53.0

I recently installed Kubuntu 9.04 + Nvidia driver 180.44 on my Dell Latitude E6400 (1440x900) with NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M. I have the G2410 1920x1080 external monitor. The monitor is connected via VGA. I am very pleased to have the monitor running at full resolution. However, the settings don't stay intact after rebooting.
If I have the monitor connected and turn on the the laptop, only the laptop screen is active. Then, I press Fn + F8 twice to switch to the external monitor which is always reset to 1440x900. After logging in I open Nvidia settings and switch the external monitor resolution to auto. There is a warning about Meta modes and I do auto fix. Then compositing is disabled, so I open system settings, turn off then turn back on desktop effect. Also, if I want to switch back to the laptop display, it stays stuck at 1920x1080 on the laptop.
Is there any way to set this up so it is automatically detected when the external monitor is plugged in and runs at the correct resolution? With my old M1330 and Intel X3100 graphics card, it would do this and was very convenient switching back and forth between the laptop display and external monitor.

whether all 2TB external hard disks will run on ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)? I was under the impression that Seagate and Western Digital would, but the store where I went to buy it told me they won't. I really need to buy an external hard disk as I'm running out of the space

I have an internal hard drive split between Windows 7 and Fedora 12. The Fedora 12 install exists on a LVM which presents a bit of a challenge when trying to mirror the drive. I was trying to use gparted but it doesn't have support for LVM. I discovered g4l, which does a bit-by-bit copy and ran a full disk copy using that from the 500 GB internal to a 500 GB external. Inspecting it with gparted, the copy LOOKS like it went correctly.
However, when I disconnect the internal and attempt to boot to the external (specifically in the BIOS), it's unable to boot to it. It instructs me to insert bootable media and try again. Has something gone wrong with the copy? It SEEMS like g4l finished faster than it should have given the copy rate it was operating at (I had figured out when it should finish up), but the screen saver had been on and when I came back it was back at the menu, so I don't know if it got to 100% or ended prematurely? There were certainly no error messages...

When my LaCie BigDisk E+ USB/eSATA FW:1.1548 is plugged into the USB port, I get the following what is below (it fails). This occurs in Ubuntu also. I think it has something to do with the new kernels. I believe ehci_hcd used to be a module. Since it has been compiled into the kernel, the external USB hard disk does not work. I am compiling my own kernel now to see if that is the problem.
dmesg | tail
scsi11 : usb-storage 1-1:1.0
usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 14
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 15

1. An external hard disk with VFAT32 file system has a continuous 23GB file (old HD disk image). It is too large to 'remove to wastebasket' and unlike MS Windows remove to wastebasket does not sense file size and wipe file index .
How to remove a large file in SUSE 11.2?

I have just updated to karmic, and I found that my external hard disk partitions, previously mounted under /media/disk and /media/fat are now referenced by something looking like a UUID, namely /media/7b096ea4-60ee-46b1-95cd-1851b051c40d and /media/4951-95D9.
Is there a way to revert to the old settings? Any application relying on the files on the external hard disk has now stopped working. While I certainly could just change reference (assuming the UUID does not change every session), I'd rather use the old names if possible.

I've 2 computers (one at the job, one at home), different motherboard types but same chipset, having AM2 AMD CPUs but different clock speed. I don't have (I don't want to buy) internal hard disks for these computers.
I would like to buy one external USB HDD and install the latest Ubuntu. I will carry this HDD to my job and my home. Is it possible to use this HDD as boot HDD on both computer? Even they are not same just similar? Is this a problem for Ubuntu?

I am trying to mount an external hard disk using a USB docking station
I can see the entries for different partitions of the hard disk in fdisk -l but there is no node file created in /dev folder. So, I am not able to mount.
Something like this -
#sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sdd: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xf5bdf0ff

my old pc died not long ago so I retrieved its hard disk and bought a USB enclosure. that HD had a ubuntu 9.04 partition and an XP one. Something must have gone wrong somewhere as, although i could still boot from jaunty, I was not allowed to upgrade.
It therefore seemed to me natural perform a clean install, so here's what I did:
- on a win7 computer, I inserted a 9.10 bootable disk
- with usb-disk creator, I wanted to install via a spare image so re-formatted the HD
- I couldn't install a mythbuntu 9.10 after that as I giot an error message ("can't mount the drive" or something similar). yet, in win7 the HD is recognised.
So, what am I doing wrong? Are USB HDs not included as USB devices that you can make bootable? Or should I be installing a !straight" ubuntu version, then install MythTV?
