Hardware :: Promise Tx4650 RAID Card Does Not Work In Debian 6.0 / Sort It?

Mar 3, 2011

I have just installed Debian 6.0 and it does not seem to recognize my Promise Tx4650 RAID controller.
I have created a dual boot with WinXP 64. Windows sees my two RAID one arrays correctly (as two logical drives).
In debian I see four physical drives in file browser.
I contacted Promise tech support and they said that the only Linux they support is SUSE, but they did send me some source code to compile.
This problem is complicated by my newness to Linux and Debian.
Here are some specific questions:
1] Is there any debian package that is known to support the Promise Tx4650?
2] Where can I see if my Tx4650 is recognized?
3] If I have to compile it into the kernel, where are the directions for how to do that?

Ubuntu Installation :: Possible Solution For Using A Promise FastTrak TX4310 RAID Card?

Mar 23, 2011

I've found that Ubuntu doesn't properly recognize disks attached to a Promise FastTrak TX4310 RAID5 card. I have a possible solution, but I could sure use some feedback from people more experienced with 'nix and drivers. Please advise?

Promise has TX4310 drivers for SUSE and RHEL4 (note: I've never heard of that one before), but their support person said that their open source drivers should be ok to compile with any version of Linux based on the 2.6 core. Therefore, I'm wondering if these open source drivers could simply be recompiled for Ubuntu and used?

Please excuse my ignorance with this as I'm new to 'nix having 30 yrs experience only with big iron and Windows. I'm ramping-up quickly, but haven't been down the path of compiling drivers yet, not like it'd stop me.

Does this idea make sense?
Has anyone tried it?
Please help if you can as I'd really hate to go back to Windows box simple because of a lack of Promise driver support.

Debian Multimedia :: Alsactl Restore Doesn't Work In Rc.local / Sort It?

Oct 21, 2010

Every time I boot my machine, some of the playback values in alsamixer are set to 0 and are muted, so I have no sound.

The thing is, I have tried setting these to normal levels and then run sudo alsactl store. Then, if I run sudo alsactl restore after I reboot, the sound comes back up. However, if I have alsactl restore in /etc/rc.local, it doesn't work: I still get muted sound when I reboot. I have to run sudo alsactl restore manually each time.

I have already checked whether /etc/rc.local runs at startup, and it does. Also, I know that /var/lib/alsa/asound.state contains the correct values, because when I run sudo alsactl restore, the sound returns to normal levels. So what remains is either alsactl restore doesn't work in /etc/rc/local, or something runs after it and mutes the sound.

Ubuntu :: Alternative For Promise WebPAM Utility?

May 2, 2011

I need a utility to rebuild RAID setups after a HDD failure. I currently have two HDD's hooked up to a Promise FastTrak TX2650/TX4650 controller; under Windows I could use Promise's WebPAM utility to rebuild the RAID. Well, I no longer use Windows (and never plan to again) so is there a native Linux program that can rebuild RAID configurations in the event of a HDD failure?

Promise finally released WebPAM for Linux [URL].. but I believe you must install Promise's proprietary Linux driver in order to get WebPAM to work. I would really like to avoid installing their proprietary Linux driver if at all possible.

Debian :: Can't Get Broadcom Wireless Card To Work

Dec 18, 2015

I decided to start of with Debian. I'm having trouble getting my wireless connection to work. I think i need drivers or something, i can't make a wireless connection. And it is a bit difficult for me, as i am new to Linux, and I'm not sure what I'm doing when i am writing these commands.

My wireless card is a Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n

I have been using Raspberry PI a little, so i am familiar with the terminal.

Im running Pure:Dyne, an audio-centric distro, and so far I have not been able to get my usb modem to work. Im using a Huawei EC168 and my carrier is Alltel. Im totally new to Debian as well... Im doing this off of a live disc then I plan to install it once I know Ill be able to use my internet (its my only internet...) The card doesnt seem to be recognized other than as a storage drive or something, since its preloaded with the software for windows that comes with it.

Debian Configuration :: How To Get Wireless Card To Work

Jan 21, 2010

I'm having trouble getting my wireless card (RNX-G300LX, from Rosewill) working with my Debian install. I had it working at one point in time, but (apparently) something has gone wrong, as it no longer connects. The network I'm trying to connect to uses WPA2. When I try to start up my wireless card as follows:
# ifup wlan0

I get the following response:
wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801
wmaster0: unkown hardware address type 801
Listening on LPF/wlan0/00:1a:...
Sending on LPF/wlan0/00:1a:...

DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

I have set up /etc/network/interfaces as follows:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
auto wlan0
and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf looks like this:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="apt_102"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="mypassword"
proto=WPA2 }

I should also note that running wpa_cli -i wlan0 tells me that it is "trying to associate" with my router, but authentication times out each time.

Debian Installation :: Can't Get Pci Express Ethernet Card To Work

Dec 22, 2010

I have an HP Pavillion Elite HPE computer I just got for a server. It has an internal gigabyte on the mother board and I put in one pci express trendnet teg-ectx eternet card in before installing. It is using the realtek 8169 chip. I had the local network on this card and the pubic static ip on the built in ethernet port eth0. After the intstall of debian 5.07 32 bit I couldn't get the eth0 pubic access to work. I can't get into the server with sftp or ssh and openssh has been installed and I can get into it locally on the local network.

I then installed a second ethernet card the same as the local network card. Now the pubic is on the which is eth1 and the local is eth2. I can ping out to [URL] but I can't get into the server on the eth1 using ssh and I have a iptables firewall and I turned it off and I stll can't get in. I am thinking that the eth1 card I added after the install doesn't have the driver or something. nothing is hooked up to eth0 right now.

As I am new to debian(I have installed debian lenny), I would greatly appreciate any help as to what should I do.On googling around I found that I have to edit some "asound" file.

Debian Multimedia :: Getting Two Monitors To Work With 1 Nvidia Card?

Sep 4, 2010

I'd be grateful for any suggestions to get a second TV/Monitor to work in addition to the desktop monitor for a PC which runs Lenny. The first monitor is a small TFTLCD 15". Works perfectly with a GEForce FX 5200 nvidia graphic card and uses the 173.14.09 driver. Having obtained an SVGA cable, I connected the card to a rather larger 32" LCD Panasonic TX-L32S10B TV to enable some armchair viewing of internet etc for my parents. The Panasonic TV or monitor shows all the boot messages but the graphical server fails to start. I know that both screens work, either alternatively or simultaneously, having tested with a Puppy live CD.
However, running

nvidia-xconfig --twinview results in an incorrect screen resolution for the 15" TFT Monitor; Gnome Screen Resolution Preferences gives a rather surprising fixed setting of 2048x786/50Hz when the maximum should be 1024x768. The resulting xorg.conf file is:

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (buildd@ninsei)  Fri Sep  5 22:23:08 UTC 2008

Debian Hardware :: Find Out What Is Making The Sound Card Work?

May 31, 2011

I have a Toshiba laptop and Toshiba netbook (both Intel chipsets). Laptop - Squeeze install gave me the 2.6.32 kernel and sound only worked thru headphones but not the speakers. Later on, I compiled kernel 2.6.36.1 (and just imported .config from original kernel) and sound WORKED perfectly. I had a few other errors ("address space collision" / PM error) so recently I compiled kernel 2.6.38, which solved other hardware issues but sound is back to original problem (works thru headphones but not thru speakers). I even installed the "backports" kernel (2.6.38.4) and it didn't make a difference.

Netbook - Did exact same things as above but no matter what, the sound never worked on it... same issue (sound in headphones.. no sound in speakers) So, how do I "reverse-engineer" the laptop working sound install with kernel 3.6.36.1 and make it work with later kernel (nothing... and I've tried about 30+ thread suggestions makes the sound cards work properly.. other than kernel 2.6.36.1)

Debian Hardware :: Installing Driver For Broadcom Wireless Card Doesn't Work

Aug 29, 2010

I'm very new to Debian (and Linux in general), and am currently taking a Linux course at college... I'm trying to get Debian running on my MacBook Pro (late 2009 model) and it's been complicated but I've got the operating system installed on it... I'm just having a few problems, the biggest right now of which is my wireless card, which doesn't work. So, I found instructions on the Debian Wiki for getting the driver for it, but it's not compiled already and I have little knowledge of manually installing stuff through Linux...

General :: Using GRUB To Boot From An Pci Sata Raid Card?

Mar 18, 2011

I have a DL380 G3 HP server and I need to attach a 1TB hard drive. Of course the server only accepts SCSI and since I don't have a few thousand pounds to splash about I am looking at alternate methods. What I have done so far is buy a PCI SATA raid card and attach the 1TB drive to it. The BIOS seemed to be playing nice detecting it and allowing me to select the card. But it won�t see the drive.

Funnily enough though when I installed Linux on the SCSI drive during the install it saw the 1TB just fine and I could write to it. This has led me to believe that I could use GRUB (installed on the SCSI) to boot the 1TB as the hardware setup is working but the BIOS just can't handle it. So here I am with no real knowledge of GRUB. I was hoping someone could tell me where to begin with this and if it is even possible
