Hardware :: Barebones System From Shuttle SG41J1 PLUS - Run A 64-bit Version ?
Jun 19, 2010
Have used Linux for a long time, but never set up a system myself. It is my intention to get a barebones system from Shuttle called "SG41J1 PLUS" and run Linux on it.
This has the following H/W components:
- Intel Core2 Quad
- Chipset Intel G41 + ICH7
- VGA Intel X4500
- Sound IDT 92HD89C
- Ethernet Marvell 88E8057
Can I assume that the Intel ICH7 would be supported and the graphics too ?
For the Ethernet controller I obtained drivers (source code) from the manufacturer, so I hope this should be fine.
For the sound chip I don't know yet whether I could get drivers. Are there any ? I had a look at the ALSA project's site but could not see exactly this sound chip mentioned.
Should I expect any problem if I wanted to run a 64-bit version of Linux on that machine ?

I just got my new Shuttle SG41J1 v2. Everything works fine under 10.10 except audio. I can hear sound at the headphone-jack on the frontpanel but the jack on the rear isn't working. I tried different models in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (3stack, 5stack, test), nothing helped. All channels in alsamixer are unmuted and the sliders turned up. In the output of alsa-info.sh I can see Nodes for all jacks (Speaker, Mic and Line-In at Ext-Rear for example) but alsamixer and all other mixer-applications I tried shows only Master, PCM, Front Mic, Line, Mic and Aux (all in the Playback section). Also I found nothing in /usr/ share/doc/ alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz about my Codec "IDT ID 76c1".

I have followed serveral sets of instructions for creating an installation media USB key from the DVD.iso for fedora 11 i386... Every time i have worked through the installation i get a very bare bones system...
why would this happen... i look through the usb key and can see packages for xorg and gnome etc... but they are not installed? do i need to specify somehow that i want a "full" install... so far i have selected something like "Install or upgrade system..." why are some "components" missing from my installation?

This shuttle xpc (model#SA76G2) using Athlon II X2 245 Regor 2.9ghz dual core, 1Gb ram, won't boot properly from live cd's. Tried Puppy, Antix, Knoppix 5.1 & 6.0, Lenny 5.03. All exhibit slight differences...Puppy can't find the system and drops to command line, Antix and Lenny, after booting go to a crazy video mode, hence no display and knoppix just shows two penguins. These cd's work just fine on other machines.
It's not my computer, so I'm not going to fret about this. But I would like to know what the heck is going on.

I would like to try to reinstall a barebones xp on a compac laptop as a dual boot with 11.1. I repartitioned using gparted so I now have 20 Gb free. Here (I hope) is the output of fdisk -lu [URL] I spent a lot of time setting up opensuse and don't want to lose the settings, etc. Should I repartition with the 20G space "in front" of the linux partitions? Can I back up the linux settings so I can reinstall them if I lose everything? Is there a sort of windows emulator (wine?) that will run programs that won't run on opensuse, like netflix, tax prep software, etc? Too many questions I know but I would like a fairly simple foolproof fix if possible.

I've had display problems with Fedora 12. My monitor could display 1600*1200 in Fedora 7, but I'm having a struggle with F12. I can get 1600x1200 using the nouveau driver but after lots of experimentation, I'm left with:
1. The top line of pixels seems to be repeated 8 - 10 times, shifting the display content downwards so that the bottom few lines of the display content disappear. The mouse cursor can reach the whole of the display but "points to" and "clicks on" part of the display content which appears a few pixels below it.
2. A few pixels of the display content are cropped from the left hand edge of the screen.
Things I've tried:
1. Tried **many** different modelines in xorg.conf and , this is the one I'm using at the moment: ModeLine "1600x1200@50" 162.0 1600 1616 1736 2160 1200 1201 1206 1248 +hsync +vsync I don't know whether all the parameters match up, the monitor flickers a bit at logon so I guess they don't (e.g. the monitor display reckons it's on a 60Hz refresh). At least the display is basically usable though.
2. Tried nouveau, nvidia, nv and vesa drivers - nouveau is the only one which gives 1600x1200.
3. Tried xvidtune, but it complains "Unable to query monitor info" and exits.
System Hardware:
System: Shuttle SN41G2V2/ Athlon XP 3000/ 1GB - "VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU] (rev a3)" Monitor: Dell 2007FP (1600x1200 native resolution) connected via standard VGA connection - has previously worked at 1600x1200 using Fedora 7
System Software Fedora 12 (2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE); installed where F7 used to be (and Mandrake before that!), but /home lives on a separate partition and has not been changed.

I had a shuttle box quad core amd running Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit. Anyway it was always losing it's bios settings so I presumed the battery was flat. Since the shuttle had always been a little twitchy apic had to be disabled etc to get thing to boot into Linux. I decided to move the install over to another Shuttle XPC SG31G2 V1 model which was running Windows 7 without any problems.
Got it running surprisingly easy as I expected a full re-install jobby but I quickly reconfigured it and it was loading into X properly. However the bios settings also get reset on power off. All seems very strange to me. Any ideas bar booting of a live cd and see if the same happens???

I'm on 5.4 with a Shuttle X50 and am having a lot of trouble getting sound working on this box. In Gnome the card is detected properly and nothing is muted, but no sound comes out of the speakers when I do the test. Checked in the bios and the audio is enabled so I'm stumped... heres some info for reference:

I'm on gentoo trying to emerge a kernel 2.4, i have the sources already compiled butt i have problems with init.
So, i guess is better to download an old version of debian, one with the kernel 2.4.
I nee to load an old module, compiled for a 2.2 kernel, and i don't have the sources. So, maybe with a 2.4 kernel i can.
Where i can find a precompiled system with a 2.4 kernel, and from the i go on.

I'm using Hardy x64 and I'm wondering if there's a version of Skygrabber that will work on Ubuntu.
I've downloaded the trial versions of Skygrabber and Tuner4PC, but these are for Windows only. I suppose I could load these in Wine, which I have, but I don't know how to do it? I haven't even been able to get the version of Internet Explorer that comes with Wine 1.0 to work. However, Notepad works.

An introduction: Tired of Windows Vista, etc. Moderately skilled user. I have a linux product on a eepc netbook and had a 10 day trial dual boot on this computer. I am now intending to convert an 9 y/o computer running XP and would like to see how the Linux product uses resources, handles pix, video, email and internet. The PC is configured pretty typically for that point in time.

I want to set up a very simple version control system in my own computer, which only I will use. I want to use it mainly for latex files, not programming. I basically want to use it as a smart backup system and to keep track of past versions, but I don't need merging, patching, etc... My typical needs are the following:Work on a file many times and committ the changes every couple of days.Every now and then, try something new, and do it on a new branch. If it doesn't work, go back to the original one.
Take a look at a previous version (often a binary file, say a pdf or dvi file).I have used git so far, for no special reason, but I haven't been able to get comfortable with it, specially since it only handles text files efficiently (I think). My main issue is with point 3 above, I haven't found a way (maybe there's just no way) of pointing to a previous version of a file and opening it in an external program. Would CVS or SVN or any other version control system allow me to do this easily?

Any of you have any idea on how to install the Modelsim SE edition offered by mentor graphics for linux operating systems? I found a link from google vaguely explaining this. I tried out but it did not seem to work. I am very comfortable right now with modelsim and I hate to migrate to some other simulaiton software which may reside inside ubuntu's software center repository.
Any ideas how to install this? I tried running the command start install.linux through the terminal. It did not work. i tried using wine's command prompt to run it which also didn't seem to work

I'm looking for an open source web based version control system for our enterprise.To give you a quick picture of what we need I'll give you an example.
1.The customer send us some files for a new project (these will be the version 1.0)
2.We work on these files and make then available to the customer to let him verify that our changes are what he want. (These will be the version 2.0)
3.The customer accept.
4.We start the production.

Title pretty much says it all. I was working fine this morning on f15. Did an update and am now getting the above message. Have no internet access from affected machine. Running "NetworkManager" or "systemctl enable NetworkManager.service" does not fix the issue. Anyone else get this today? I know there was a similar known bug during pre-release.

After a recent update of fedora 15 (2 days ago) I lost my networkmanager icon in top panel completely. Then I check network manager version & found it's version 0.8.0.9997-5.git20110702. After this update I can't connect to internet by any means either via wired or wireless connection. When I try to open Network option from system settings it giving me an error: System network services are not compatible with this version.
I also try to open network-connection-editor by pressing Alt+F2 & typing:
nm-connection-editor
But it not works as well, I can't see any existing network connection there, moreover I can't even manually add any type of network connection there including mobile broadband! Then I do some googling from my windows machine & found this thread- [URL]. According to this thread I try to do downgrading of following 3 packages-
Code:
networkmanager
networkmanager-glib
networkmanager-gnome
But I can't downgrade via yumex as there's no internt connection in fedora. so i do a trick of myself. yumex suggests me to downgrade them to previous version 0.8.0.999-2.git20110509
so i manually download those 3 packages from my windows machine & copy them to /var/cache/yum/... folder. After that I do downgrading via yumex. But even after downgrading problem isn't solved. Same things happening still. No networkmanager icon in top panel & no internet
at present, there's no internet connection in my fedora 15 machine & I'm writing this post from my windows machine.
Moreover when I give this command in terminal:
Code:
sudo service network start
it giving me FAILED status.

I'm trying to connect to a Win XP computer via Remote Desktop/Terminal Server. (Note: WinXP refers to Remote Desktop, or RDP; Ubuntu uses Terminal Server client for this function.)
The problem is that my XP computer requires the use of Microsoft's RDP version 6 because it uses a Terminal Server Gateway. The TS client in Ubuntu is compatible with version 5, not version 6.
Is there a MS RDP version 6 compatible program/client for Linux?

I've installed the latest testing version, which has 2.6.32 kernel perfect for me. I was very amazed when check system monitor and saw it runs with 90MB RAM, meanwhile my ubuntu desktop takes only 400, and the pocket version of ubuntu on vmware has 180MB RAM.
The questions is: Debian runs on vmware 7. Could the amount of RAM change when switching to a normal environment? Or I have to test and see what is happening..What problems could occur when using a testing version?

I have been using for over a year now, my 64-bit computer first with Fedora 8 and now with Fedora 10 with 2Gb of RAM just fine. Today I purchased an extra 2Gb for the system and upon installation from the GRUB screen Fedora 10 simply won't boot. It does boot with 3Gb, and it doesn't matter which stick I use for the 3Gb configuration, or what slot do I put the sticks into the motherboard, however if I place the four sticks, F10 simply won't boot. Should I pass a command line argument tot he kernel? If so, which?
