I am running Fedora 10 and Win XP SP2 on an Intel PIII machine and couple of weeks ago there was a short on the motherboard. In the result 1 out of 4 USB ports died, 2 show over current change ad 1 seems to work properly. In XP I could disable a "USB adapter" in Device Manager, which removed 3 usb's from the system, but the remaining one, equipped with the hub, works fine. Is there a way to do something like that in Fedora?
Here is the USB section from my lspci -vv:
00:04.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 11) (prog-if 00 [UHCI])
Subsystem: First International Computer, Inc. VA-502 Mainboard
I have a Sony Vaio with built-in WiFi. I deemed the built-in WiFi to be flaky, so I installed a WiFi PC Card.bOpenSUSE 11.2 stock GNOME install out of the box, is there a way to disable just the flaky WiFi interface with Network Manager? It seems I can disable all WiFi or enable all WiFi but not individual interfaces selectively. If I connect to my router, the flaky interface wants to act as the dominant interface and makes my connection slow and unreliable.
I hate to make comparisons with Windows, but it's very obvious how to do it there. Is this something I can do with Network Manager or in GNOME? Or is this something deeper, changing configuration files with a text editor or recompiling kernel?
Basically, I just found out inserting a SDHC card into a SD card reader (pre-SDHC) doesn't work well. When the kernel saw it, I guess it decided to disable the ports/hub that device was trying to connect to.

I know rebooting the PC will fix this, but it there a way to fix this without rebooting?
I have one profile on my Ubuntu machine that I want to eliminate the gnome panel from. When I use the gconf-editor I can change the panel key but it has no effect on my profile. If I set the key as the default it kills the panel on all my other profiles but not on the one I set it from. Anyone have any bright ideas on this?
I suppose I could just auto hide the one left offending panel but I truly wanted to get rid of it entirely. It is irritating having it pop up when I get near the edge of the screen constantly.
While using school internet, occasionally I cannot connect to their wireless at all. I know it is definitely the school's doing, under both Windows and Linux, my computer is denied connection for about 30 minutes, then it suddenly works. I always have the same address, but setting a static address does not allow me connection either. Everyone else has no problem connecting, so I am pretty sure the school denied my computer connection.
How can I workaround this? Changing my card's MAC address does not fix the problem. Is there another way to discriminate users?
I have a really elaborate website project and I'd like to check in all the code to an SVN repository WITHOUT checking in all the jpg, pdf, sql, .mobi files, etc. I have subclipse installed on my local machine as part of Eclipse, but downloading the entire site and doing it file-by-file would take a very long time.
1) check in certain file types in a directory (e.g, /home/foo/public_html) while excluding certain file types (e.g., *.jpg, *.pdf, etc.) and subdirectories (e.g. exclude home/foo/public_html/images) in that directory.
2) I need to specify that this initial checking of my entire project goes into the /trunk folder in my SVN repository -- and not the root, not 'branch' subdir, etc. Also, I need the directory structure of my files to be preserved. that is to say i don't want /includes/conf/config.php to be at the root of my trunk folder in my repository.
3) I need to specify a comment that is applied to all of the files I'm checking in. E.g., "this is the initial checkin dated 12/24/2009, happy holidays!"
I am running Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04. I have been having some problems recently with Pulseaudio, which has traditionally worked fine for me on this netbook actually. Specifically, when I boot the computer, the system will play the "Bongo roll" sound at the GNOME login screen, telling me that sound hardware has been detected and should be working fine.
Yet when I log into the Netbook interface, my volume notification icon has the three blank lines indicating my session does not have access to the sound hardware. Nor do any of the built-in Sound preference panels detect my hardware, only registering dummy output. Finally, the (hopefully) deprecated PulseAudio Device Manager and Volume Control applications also fail to detect my hardware.
However, this problem is inconsistent! It will only happen on certain boots, though the number seems to be hovering around 75% of boots where pulseaduio fails to load correctly. The daemon/service is running, and restarting it only returns:
jmmcl2@unteer:~$ sudo service pulseaudio restart PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions ask again, why is my Pulseaudio being so selective about detecting my sound hardware in Ubuntu 10.04?
need all spaces between two letters or a letter and a number exchanged for an underscore, but all spaces between a letter and other characters need to remain. One example for clarity:
Input:
force -- lamin 90 [label] active A -- generation [label]
needed Output:
force -- lamin_90 [label] active_A -- generation [label]
I tried solving this with sed but obviously s/ /_/g does not work, nor does any s/[a-zA-z0-9] [a-zA-z0-9]/[a-zA-z0-9]_[a-zA-z0-9]/g , because you just can't do this...
I think I've got myself into a bit of a situation. I've got 3 operating systems across 2 hard drives, and i need to get them loading properly.
I have my primary ubuntu 8.10 install @ /dev/sda1
I have a new Windows XP install @ /dev/sdb2
And I have a new install of Ubuntu 9.10 @ /dev/sdb3
I'd like to be able to selectively boot into all 3 until I can return my current 8.10 install. Can someone show me how to get my /boot/grub/menu.lst file in order?
I'm writting an app for desktop and embedded linux and I need to get information about the multiserial port, and I need to know which port is been used (by a printer, por example).The multiserial I'm using is an Altera Corporation Device 0004, and I just need to tell how many ports are there and how many is been used.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome. Whenever I put in a blank CD/DVD an icon on the desktop appears named "Blank CD/DVD" and a window appears asking me what I want to do with it. How do I disable the window and the icon from the desktop?
Just did a check on "shields up" and it says that ten of my ports are open. I get the same result with or without both shorewall and firestarter. I suspect it may have something to do with the mysql server packages added automatically during installation. Am I right. If so, what can be done about it? If not, has anyone any idea how to keep my ports closed?
I'm trying to setup oracle10g but, whenever I try to go to my database homepage http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex I get an "unable to connect to" error. Only reason I can think of as to why I can't connect to it is because my ports aren't open. I also recall SELinux complaining about something awhile ago, I can't seem to bring that up any more for some reason.
I'm starting to feel like a spamer or something. (I don't usually have this many computer questions, I'm a nerd, but known NOTHING about ubuntu).
All of a sudden NONE of my usb ports work? I can't get USB drives to work or an external drive. They aren't recogonized at all and the lights on them don't light up.
All i need is to see a list, window or anything that shows all of the serial (rs232) com ports that are on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine and what their associated port numbers are.
I have one com port that is on the motherboard (so obviously its com 1) and it works fine. but i also have a usb to serial (FTDI) com port that i cant figure out what the port number is...
If i've accidentally deleted the vboxusers group off my list in System-> Administration, is there a way to get it back? I really need to unlock my USB ports for my VM.
I want to test automatically if the USB ports are in use. I want to test it in a bash script
I found some information about ttyUSB0 in the /dev/
The problem is, there is usb hub between the system and the mouse/keyboard. The other USB port is in use for the Ubuntu live usb. When I open the /dev/ map virtual and pull out the usb keyboard the hidraw1 diappears, same for the keyboard. When both are out and I pull out the usb hub, nothing happens.
I need to talk to several serial ports. I was thinking of having a bunch of USB to serial cables and then plugging all of them into a USB hub, which goes to the computer. What I want to know is, will I see each serial port as a separate thing? With 1 USB to serial cable and no hub, I see /dev/ttyUSB0. With this hub, will I see /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1, etc?
I've installed Debian Lenny on a Fujitsu Amilo L7310GW, and everything works well, except for the usb ports. Anything plugged into them doesn't register at all. If I plug in my usb pendrive with the light then the light comes on for a moment and then nothing.
I started up Knoppix 6.2 from the same pendrive, and it starts to boot, right up to where you can choose the OS and options, and then a bit further but then it fails because I suppose enough of the OS has been bootstrapped to use it's own usb facilities.
I've looked at the logs, dmesg/syslog/messages/debug, and also got some output from lsusb but I can't see what could be the problem.
Have configured squid in routing server and it works fine. Able to block sites and allowed all http request to pass through squid so able to monitor http traffic. And the downloads from linux machine like wget, ftp, etc.. and from windows download manager cannot be monitored which is drawback right now. In squid is it possible to allow ports like ssh, ftp etc so that it can also be monitored? If so need some spark ideas on it.
I was wondering if there is a way to have SIP and IAX2 listen on two ports other than the standard one? This is because most ISPs are blocking these standard ports especially ISPs that is also engaged in Telecom business.
I have a client that wants me to install a meassuring program made for WinXP on a OpenSUSE 11.2 machine.I used wine to install and the program works fine but cant find COM ports.I have the option to go with serial or USB-to-serial, which one is best? I tried: ln -s /dev/USB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1,
