We just got a new rack server in at work, and it won't automatically detect the NIC Cards on the system, I can't seem to find any drivers on the internet for them as well. Would anyone know if they are avaliable?

I've got a problem on Slackware64 13.37, my sound is way to loud even on minimum settings, it just jumps from off to quite loud, this is not a hardware problem as when I use sound from my debian rescue partition I have full control, I have tried using alsamixer as well as the graphical volume control (I'm using xfce but a quick test on kde gives the same results), alsaconf doesn't seem to detect any sound cards, alsa mixer correctly identifies my sound card ( NVIDA ), been googling and searching these forums but all the sound problems seem to be about sound being to low or nonexistent.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI just installed Fedora 13 on my desktop computer and ran into the same problems I did when I tried to install which was i could connect to a network but couldn't access the internet. I decided to install Fedora 14 since I already installed it on my laptop. I'm still running into the same issue, I can connect to my network but cannot connect to the internet using my PCI NIC or onboard NIC. Networking is enabled and I'm getting a IP address from my router. I ran "lspci" and it shows me both network cards which, please correct me if I'm wrong, makes me think that the drivers are installed.
I'm also curious if the VNC client/server could be used through a WAN. I would like to remote into my computer at home when I'm not there and see the gui. I had SSH installed at one point but it was just text. If there is better program please let me know. why I would have Services on my laptop but not on my desktop? Both computers are running the same version. Both cards are enabled and set to connect automatically. I can get a IP with both NICs. I only have one plugged in at a time.
Ever since I switched from windows I miss the fact that gaming is not all that well on linux. I think that is pretty unfortunate. The games I'd like to play are team fortress 2 and a bit of civilization 4. Luckily for me, these games are known to run good through wine. But the bad thing for me is that I had an old ATI card and I was stuck with the bad driver that caused all these games to crash. So I had it with this. Each time I wanted to play I needed to restart to windows. So I saved some money and yesterday I bought a geforce 640 GTX.
When I boot up the computer for the first time with my card it all seems to work well. It just did not detect my new card automatically. And now I have to confess I'm not all that experienced with ubuntu and getting some things done. But I thought, ah well.. 10.10 is coming up, lets update to the release candidate and see how things are going from there. A new card and new version of ubuntu, woohoo! Now after the update it did detect the driver and it seems to run pretty well, but I do have a few problems.
I have a small second screen to extend my primary desktop. In the NVIDIA X Server Settings and under the tab 'X Server Display Configuration' I have the second screen in 'TwinView' and it seems to work well. Untill I restart my screen that is. After a restart I have to keep activating my second screen. I was kind of hoping it'd save the settings.
The other problem is what I get when playing team fortress 2. I'm not sure this is the right place to ask here, or I should better head to the wine forums or something, but I do hope to fix this. When I have the second screen enabled, and I'd like to start team fortress 2 it gives a warning: 'Failed to create D3D devide'. Doing some googling, it seems to be a resolution problem. After I disable the second screen, it works again.
Then with the second screen disabled it seems to finally run. But unfortunately after 5/10 min the I get kicked out of the server with the message 'Disconnected: Client timed out'. I did some googling arond and there's not much results relating to wine/ubuntu, but most windows users seem to have this problem because of a firewall. Now, I'm using ubuntu and not using a firewall as far as I know (there's probably some build in, I just take that as it is ). But maybe anyone here knows how to fix this and I do get to finally play team fortress 2 on ubuntu?
When DNS server is configured on Windows server, it will automatically detect and catch computer names and IP address. With Linux (BIND), I have to enter each clients manual under zone file. example (computer1 IN A 10.10.1.4). is there anyway to make Linux detect client automatically as windows does?

Just one thing bothers me: when I tell Nvidia X Server Settings that I want to use my external screen as primary screen it doesn't put the gnome panels to the other screen, well... sometimes it does after a couple times but most of the time it doesn't.is there a way to automatically detect when I connect a monitor instead of going to the Nvidia settings? Just the way Mac OS X does?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two graphics cards in my computer. One is a crappy built-in nVidia GeForce 6150 SE, and the other is a high-end (as of 2008) GeForce in the 8000 range. I would like to use the latter, but I can't get anything to detect it. Testing which is in operation is easy: they have separate video outputs. I've tried changing the BIOS settings, but to no avail. I'm stumped. Could it be that my other card is dead? How could I test it? I'm fairly certain that it worked back when I used Windows, as I remember having to use my DVI-to-VGA converter (the other card's outputs are all DVI).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to write a small application which needs to detect if the system time is changed by an another application/user and perform some action as soon as it is detected (maybe log the data that time has changed, along with info about which application/user changed it).
How can this be achieved?
I have good programming experiences in shell script, c and beginner level in python.
I don't need to know when it was changed, just need to know who/what changed it.
The system uses NTP to sync the time, but it is also possible for anyone/any application to change the time(for eg: using the simple "date" command as well).

I've just installed 10.4 and it works like a charm. The only problem I have is that I've plugged my ipod touch 3g in and nothing happens. It seems like the system doesn't detect it. Opening rhythmbox nothing happens either.
Do i need to do any extra thing in order to have my ipod working?
The only thing I can see in the syslog is this message:

My networkmanager understands that the card is installed. But it can not find any network. Also iwlist scan gives me no result. I did not have this problem on earlier fedora releases. Recently I upgraded to F12 from F11. I should mention that I have another USB DLink wireless card and when I plug it, everything works fine with that card. I also tested wl_apsta driver using fw-cutter. I did not work neither.
Ive installed fc11 on my laptop (IBM lenovo R400). My work has a proxy which we must go through. I have set the proxy addresses in System Settings->Network Settings-> proxy. I have also run export [URL].. All seems to be ok, yum works from the command line, konquer goes out to the net just fine. However firefox wont connect to the internet no matter. The only way at the moment is to manually set the proxy in firefox.This doesnt seem right? Surely FF should pick up the system proxy? Does anyone have any ideas about this one?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I installed this system (Xubuntu 9.04 x64) several months ago, I had two identical SATA hard drives, but I didn't do a RAID1 mirror then because I didn't want to wipe out my old OS (FreeBSD) on the second drive in case I needed to retrieve something from it. So I installed Xubuntu on the first drive (sda) and for all that time, the second drive (sdb) has been running but unused, and fdisk showed that the FreeBSD partition was still there.
A couple weeks ago, my separate backup server failed, so as a short-term backup I did a 'dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb' to make an exact copy of my Xubuntu install on drive A upon drive B (the former FreeBSD drive), then mounted /dev/sdb1 on /mnt to make sure it worked successfully. So far so good, but I still didn't set up any RAID stuff.
Several days later, I needed to reboot because of a security upgrade, and when I logged out, the GUI froze up. Thinking not too much of it, I restarted the system, and it came up fine. But the next day, I discovered that I was missing several days worth of email and recent files. In fact, everything had been reverted back to a state from several days earlier --- I think from the day I copied the first drive to the second one. Files I created in the interim were gone, and files I deleted in the interim were back. It was as if the first drive was 'restored' from the second one without my knowledge.
Doing some testing now, I find that if I create a new file on /dev/sda1 and then mount /dev/sdb1, the file also exists on sdb1. It's as if they're acting as a RAID1 mirror, without my telling it to do so. Could it just decide to do RAID1 because it sees there are two identically partitioned drives? That seems dangerous. And if they were really in a RAID mirror, why would it let me mount them separately? It's very strange.
I don't mind if it's suddenly decided to do RAID, but I want to make sure it's not going to 'restore' a more current filesystem from an older one again, if that's indeed what happened.

I am in the process of installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Compaq Presario 5900Z desktop, circa 1999.
Because of a change to some IDE/SCSI drivers during 2008, no Linux distribution from the fall/autumn of 2008 onward will install on this system using their standard images, every distro I've tried to install this way would report I/O errors. There was a bug report filed on this at Launchpad some time ago. Running the images as Live CD's would work, but the actual install would always fail.
I began this by installing Ubuntu 7.10, then upgrading it to 8.04 LTS. The next step is to upgrade to 10.04 LTS.
When booting up, there is a console message that briefly appears that the BIOS (being from 1999) fails the cutoff (2000) and to enable ACPI, acpi=force must be added to the boot parameters.
The issue is when powering the system off, it will not power off by itself. At one time, there had been a different distro installed on this same system alongside Windows XP and both systems correctly powered the system off when shutting down. Ubuntu keeps the system powered on and I would have to hold in the power button for up to 10 seconds, until it powers off.
I do not know if simply adding acpi=force to the boot parameters will fix this, but I also do not know where to place this. The other distro used on this system actually came with a GUI interface that would allow for something to be added to the parameters. I cannot find anything similar in Ubuntu.
So, my questions are:
1. Will adding acpi=force properly turn the PC off at shutdown?
2. If so, where can this be permanently added to the boot parameters?
Ubuntu in Windows 7 (64 bits) File system installed using Wubi I got Ubuntu 10.04 LTS intalled using Wubi. That means Ubuntu resides inside Windows file / folder system. It also means Ubuntu does not have its own partition. Here is what I found out:
1) It cannot detect wireless network unlike Win 7 on this same laptop. However, when I plug in ethernet cable, it was able to detect it. Is there a fix this problem?
2) I cannot see Windows folders. How do access windows folder from Ubuntu side and vice versa?
3) I forgot to set the disk space for Ubuntu during install and I think the default is 17 GB.Would this cause me problems? If so, what do I need to do? How do I expand the disk space for Ubuntu?
