Hardware :: No Sound When Attached To Docking Station
Mar 24, 2011
I have been using Linux and Ubuntu only since the last two months on my (2006) Sony Vaio VGN A617S laptop which is going pretty well on Ubuntu 10.10. When installing Ubuntu audio did get installed alright, and the speakers on the laptop itself are working well even now with the right drivers (snd-hda-intel) for the Realtek ALC260 soundcard.
My problem is when laptop is docked to the A/V docking station (I have seen it referred as a port replicator as well - the model number is VGP-PRAV2), with its two external speakers. And these were not on when Ubuntu was being installed. What is interesting is the headphones jack on the laptop does work when the docking station does not.
I have been trying hard and have already tried quite a few things I saw to be related issues, like:
a) adjustments to some IEC958 in alsamixer
b) using a custom mod for the ALC260 card

Recently (in 2015) our Debian systems started not to recognize HDDs connected via an external docking station.
On my computer I run: (uname -a)
* Linux violin 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt9-3~deb8u1 (2015-04-24) x86_64 GNU/Linux
* If I connect to a flashdrive to the USB2 port, it is recognized as sd* (messages are also written to dmesg/syslog)
* If I connect the USB3 connector of the external docking station with an 1TB WD SATA docked, to this USB2 port (the external docking station has its own power supply, so I do not expect to have a problem with the current, the drive spins up and is spinning), there is nothing in the dmesg/syslog, and no new items under /dev/sd* or lsusb or similar tools.
* If I connect the same external docking station with the same disk via eSATA on a different computer it is recognized. That computer runs the same debian. If I connect through its USB2 port it does not work either.
* I also tried another docking station and USB cable.

While using Debian Jessie with Gnome 3 and Nautilus file manager, my Startech HDD docking station will not auto mount and can only be mounted using commandline while in root. Previous GNU/Linux distros, such as Ubuntu 14.04, this device auto mounted without issue. All other devices, such as USB HDD, and USB pen drives, auto mount without any problems.
"Initailize Startech device with a 120GB 2.5" SATA HDD Fujitsu drive"
udev creates two block devices
Code: Select all    begins with:
    brw------- 1 root root 8, 64 Aug 6 10:11 /dev/sde
    brw------- 1 root root 8, 65 Aug 6 10:12 /dev/sde1
    changes to:
    brw------- 1 root root 8, 64 Aug 6 10:11 /dev/sde
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 65 Aug 6 10:12 /dev/sde1
dmesg produces the following results:
Code: Select all[ 179.127724] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access   FUJITSU MHW2120BJ G2   0000 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 CCS

[Code] ....
Between the thirty second and the fifteen second wait, the block device "/dev/sde1" receives the "disk" group and read/write attributes, however, the drive is still not auto mounted and can only be manually mounted via root. The block device "/dev/sde" remains with the "root" group and read/write attributes are accessible for "root" user only.
How to correct this issue to allow auto mounting?

I recently upgraded to Natty (11.04). Looks great but: I can't use it when my laptop (dell latitude E6410) is plugged in my dell docking station. It seems like the attached monitor (DVI) does not get signal input and hence turn to sleep mode.I can say that Ubuntu is still running fine when I unplug it from the docking station.I am using the NVidia driver 270.41.06 (installed as a third party driver by the install process).I can successfully connect and configure an external monitor thru the VGA port.

I have HP Compaq 6530b laptop running Debian Wheezy AMD64. I have a docking station with a monitor supporting 1680x1050 resolution and the laptop monitor with 1440x900. The video is integrated Intel mobile series 4.Both monitors are identified and working OK. When I use the laptop monitor standalone it runs at the native resolution. When connected to the docking station I can choose dual monitors with both using their native resolutions and the desktop spread on both of them (with the laptop monitor being primary and containing the taskbar and icons). If I choose to mirror the display it sets itself to a lower resolution of 1280x1024 that is supported by both monitors.
The problem is that I want to use one monitor at a time. If I close the lid of the laptop it turns off both monitors instead of using the docking station. When the lid is closed I want the bigger docking station monitor to be primary and working at native resolution and if I open the laptop or remove the laptop from the docking station to use the laptop monitor at it's native resolution.I had Debian Lenny I386 before and it was operating as expected but I made a clean install of Wheezy amd64 and I don't know how to configure it.I don't have xorg.conf file so I don't know where it takes the settings from.

I use a Dell advanced port replicator at home and in the office. Each is connected to a second monitor. In neither place does the monitor actually receive a signal even though the monitor seems to be detected correctly in display settings. The function-F8 key does not have any visible effect.
Oh, almost forgot. At work once when I preparing to shut down the second monitor popped on for a few seconds though it was at the wrong resolution.

I want to "build" a new backup solution for my home LAN. I have 3 openSUSE machines at various versions and 1 File Server with openSUSE 11.4.My plan is to plug a eSATA or USB3 docking station on the file server and then take backups from the clients either via rsync or Amanda.Since the backup will not be a daily activity, I would like to have the option to run the backup during night, and automatically, BUT, without any action from my part. So, I would like to attach a large external HDD on the machine and then:Power on the docking station/HDD.Perform the backup from the Amanda Server or rsync scripts.Power off the docking station/HDD.Do you know any docking station that has a "linux" power management?If not, how do I power up/power down from console an eSATA or USB HDD?

I have a Dell E6250 for work and a docking station with dual DVI going to two Dell 1908FPc. It looks like I can only configure two monitors and after I enable dual head support, X11 crashes. I can use Function+F8 to switch between them, but I cannot figure out how to get both monitors on at once. i.e. I close the lid of the laptop to use the dual monitors.

I have an HP EliteBook 8540p laptop with associated docking station. It is running Ubuntu 10.04. Until now I have been successfully running TwinView with the nvidia-195.36.24 drivers - using the built-in LCD screen and an external LCD monitor, connected via an analog VGA cable.I've changed the screen over to a larger resolution Philips LCD, and it works fine over VGA.
However the image is not as sharp as I'm used to with other monitors, so I'm trying to get it working over the DVI port on the laptop docking station.However I have been quite unsuccessful in getting a picture to appear on the external monitor - Xorg is able to read the EDID information from the monitor, and according to Xorg.0.log has absolutely no problems with finding a valid mode and choosing this monitor as "DFP-1", alongside "DFP-0" (laptop display). But no matter what I do I can't get a picture. Xorg.0.log has no errors.
I have unsuccessfully tried: various combinations of xorg.conf options to set "ConnectedMonitor", "CustomEDID" with a EDID .bin downloaded over VGA, etc.a colleague has the exact same laptop and monitor, and has it running fine. However using his xorg.conf still produces no picture.nvidia-settings - tried lots of things a different DVI-connected monitorIt's as if the DVI port is fully functional in every way but its output is somehow disabled. I've also tried other monitors, they don't work either, yet do with a VGA cable.
EDIT: I have checked the DVI cable anything else in terms of enabling a DVI port.

I have an X-Station 25 synth, which has worked fine in the past on Ubuntu. Recently made a fresh install on Xubuntu, and for whatever reason, I'm getting no sound coming out when I just select USB audio.If I go into Sound Preferences, I can see the device. I can even select it for sound input. Hell, if I press some keys on the keyboard, I can see some of the squares on the input level go green.Evidently, there IS sound coming in via the USB connection, and Audacity is capable of recording it.
However, the only way of hearing it is by putting headphones directly into the unit and listening to the monitor output signal. The audio coming in, as detected, is not being played from my laptop speakers/headphones.Am I just missing something here, and that's MEANT to be the only way to hear the audio out?In alsamixer, there are no controls for the Xstation, and nothing seems to be muted. I've upgraded the firmware to the most recent version as well.

I want to display cpu temperature and fan speed, network activities, load, etc on a simple window mangement, such as fvwm, wm, or blackbox. Is there a software in slackware packages to show these sensors reading in X windows similar to wmsupermon? I don't want to compile it, if slackware has something same that i can just use.

I'm looking to run an iptv station for my dorm. I know I can serve multicast so that's not a problem. The station will serve out podcasts and other cc licensed content. The target endpoint is xbmc- a media center. So far I know that I need to serve an rtp stream over udp that's streaming an mpeg-4 avc main or high profile with aac ( or ac3 ?) audio. I've had some luck using vlc with vlm to stream but it seems limited. What are my other options? Everything has to run on Linux- hopefully open source. How can I use playlists and not live streams? What are my software options?

I am using remote boot via PXE boot to an a remote machine. So okay, but when I load the files via NFS, I can not transfer the / lib to my station. I recompiled the kernel, which already influence all NFS packages built in this set as Obrigadao.

I just noticed Banshee is the new default player in Natty so I decided to move over my music and radio stations.The media import worked for my few mp3s (only have a couple on here) I have but my radio stations did not import. Since I mostly listen to the radio while on the computer (ipod when I am not), I bit the bullet and recreated all my radio stations by hand.
Most worked but a few of my favorites do not.BBC World Service did not work so I launched Rhythmbox since it is still installed and BBC and the other stations played fine.Searching around the net it looks like Banshee had problems with BBC before since it is an .asx type link but that was supposed to be fixed in one of the 1.x releases.I found Vermont Public Radio hosts BBC World in a different format but my other stations are out of luck unless I stick with RB for now.

I am trying to set up an internet only Wi-Fi station using Ubuntu 10.04 so I can get on the internet while my wife does her school homework online. I was wondering if there is a driver for the ZyXEL G-302 H/W v-2 wireless card available? I have checked several sites and can only find v3 drivers.

My cousin has a Intel dot station PC, with 128 mb RAM and 4 GB Hdd. He wants to discard it, but I think he can use Linux and make best use of the machine. Am i right ? XP is now running fine on it. But I don't think it can last long. Can someone suggest an excellent Linux distro that can do the internet, open office apps with this capacity. And is SLAX good enough ? I have tried DSL, puppy linux, mepis, lupu, peppermint etc. but NONE of them installed properly.

Something like this:

It automatically locks your workstation when the usb key is removed, and re-activates it when it is plugged back in.

I run Fedora 13 on my HP dv6000 Pavillion. I am looking for a way to remotely access my work station running Windows XP from my Fedora machine. Most of the information I found explained how to access a Linux box from a Windows environment, and the one place I found that showed the other way around was incomprehensible.
Our company servers run Windows XP, and we have successfully installed remote desktops on other laptops running Windows.I thought of running the remote desktop from a Virtual Machine Windows session, but it seems a cumbersome way to do it.

Using Rhythmbox to stream your music to multiple potential listeners over the Internet.But mostly, writing down how I did it so I don't have to re-do all the research the next time.StepsInstall icecast2: APT linkEdit /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml to configure your password at least. You need to add a user-specific password for the username that will be running Rhythmbox. For example, if your username is john you need to putQuote:<john-password>ChangeThisPassword</john-password>between the <authentication> </authentication> tags.I also suggest you set the port to 8000.Restart icecast2 using the following command:
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/icecast2 restart
Download the attached script (shout2send.tar.gz) and extract it to
