I am using Slackware64 13.37 and every once and awhile I will get a notification that the kernel is disabling IRQ #16. When this happens it feels like I lose 3D acceleration. KDE becomes very sluggish and lags like crazy. Even when I type into text boxes they lag. The only way to fix it temporarily is to reboot, but then it will happen again in a few days.

Hi everybody! I am completely stumped with KDE's Dolphin's preview policy. It started with me realizing that when as much as I mouse over an encrypted file (say, an ODS file created and encrypted with OpenOffice), KDE pops up a password prompt. The culprit identifies itself as kio_thumbnail. This is a feature so apparently useless, I would like to disable it no matter what. I know a work-around: hiding the Information panel seems to work. But I like the information panel. On top of that, the same kio_thumbnail does on occasion decide that my computer is underutilized (it feels like it happens during the idle times). It allocates my entire RAM, all 4 GiB of it, and does something fancy. It doesn't crash, however, and goes away a few minutes after I poke the computer.
I don't want a daemonized thumbnailer, is there a way to disable kio_thumbnail or make it be quiet and do nothing? I tried fooling around with Dolphin. I went into Settings / Configure Dolphin... and
1. Disabled all services,
2. Unchecked everything in General / Previews.
I did the same to Konqueror.
As far as I can tell, this had no effect whatsoever. Dolphin still previews all the files it previewed before, and still tries to preview encrypted files when Information panel is open. I am running unmodified Dolphin 1.4 on KDE 4.4.3, the same ones that came with Slackware 13.1 x64.
ASUS b43f with Slack 13.1, XFCE. Nothing in BIOS to allow me to do this.

When you do 'man bash', you'll see some words are highlighted. I'll say that the video card has used high intesity in these instances. How do I disable this video card capability? Can this only be done by recompiling the kernel? Of course, I am talking about the text consoles, i.e., the video card in text mode.
I just installed the netbook remix 10.10 on my laptop. I have been using Unity and I would much rather prefer a standard GNOME desktop. I know there was a way to change the netbook interface to a standard GNOME one on the 8.04 remix. Anyone know if there's a way to do it in 10.10?

I've edited /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas and changed DisallowTCP to false. I've edited /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc and removed the nolisten tcp line, but it still comes up with it.
The System->Administration->Login Screen has no option for security (pretty sure that's how I fixed it last time).

When I plug in a removable device, KDE automounts it, but I prefer to do this manually (also perhaps not liking the idea that any user could plug a device in and have it mounted). I've searched around and looked at KDE -> System Settings -> Removable Devices, and "Enable automatic mounting of removable devices" is already unchecked
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've run into this problem this week. The other night a power supply failed on a different system and appears to have surged the UPS which it and some other computers were plugged in to. One computer was fine, but the RAID server that is used for backups ended up with a bad disk and this "Disabling IRQ #169" message now shows up during boot, right after starting udev and setting the hostname. The system then sits there for 3-5 minutes before repeating a scroll of "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 966: /bin/usleep: Input/output error"
I have booted with linux recovery from the CentOS DVD in order to replace the drive that was damaged. I rebuilt the raid array and all the data seems to be fine. There is another message though after "Red Hat nash version 5.1....." no raid disks and with names: "isw_bf jihdchhi_Hostname" failed to stat() /dev/mapper/isw_bf jihdchhi_Hostname
I was considering doing a complete reinstall of CentOS but if there is another solution I would much appreciate it, is it perhaps an issue with Grub not being able to find the updated array? As it is, it is impossible to boot the system except for using a live CD to do it.
Let me quickly state that I am returning to Debian after quite a long break. I am trying to relearn some things. I suppose I'm somewhat old school. As in I originally installed from rawright, back in the days when you had to do practically everything by hand. I was quite happy with config and make. I actually learned a ton back then, as I started out knowing nothing. I guess I can learn to catch up with the modern linux world.
Anyway here is my question? In the old days if I wanted something not to be mounted I would simply comment out the entry in /etc/fstab. I notice that my USB drive is mounted but does not appear in the fstab. It is in mtab, and lsusb does show it.
If I wanted to secure a system, but not totally remove usb support from the kernel, how would I prevent the automounting of USB drives? What are the configuration files that govern their operation?
I just installed the new Fedora 11 and have used earlier versions in the past a few times before. I am trying to figure out if there is anyway to automatically allow root access to everything once an administrator logs in as admin. I am extremely tired of having to type in my password EVERY single time I want to do something. Especially having to use the terminal for something as simple as copying a file from one directory to another.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on an HP Pavilion dv5.
I'm running into some weird behavior while using xinput to disable the keyboard that might be an underlying bug, and I'm wondering if anyone could reproduce it or provide any insight into what's causing it. I'm running Ubuntu desktop 10.10 64-bit in a VMware Workstation VM running on a Windows 7 64-bit host.First I use "xinput list" to find out which keyboards are present in the system. In my case there's only one with id=9. Next I execute "xinput set-prop 9 "Device Enabled" 0" to disable the keyboard at id=9. Now, if I type this into the terminal and hit enter, the keyboard gets disabled but at the same time the enter key becomes stuck. The system thinks the enter key is being held down.
However, if I make a script with the same command and execute it by clicking it in Nautilus, the keyboard gets disabled and no keys are stuck. It seems if the keyboard is disabled with a press of the keyboard, then whatever key was pressed to trigger the disabling of the keyboard becomes stuck.
You might ask why I would want to disable the keyboard in the first place. It's because I'm running Ubuntu in VMware Unity mode, where the system in the VM is integrated with the host desktop system, the VM's windows appear as individual windows on the host desktop,etc. In this mode, whenever I close a VM window by hitting a key on the keyboard (for example, hitting Ctrl+D while in gnome-terminal) and focus goes back to a host window, then that key becomes stuck the next time I open a VM window. If I close a VM window by clicking the mouse then there's no problem. I'm pretty sure now that this is caused by the above mentioned bug from disabling the keyboard. I think in Unity mode VMware workstation runs a script to disable the keyboard in the guest whenever VM windows lose focus, so key presses don't continue to be piped to the guest OS. However, if this action is triggered by a press of the keyboard, then that key becomes stuck in the guest OS.
I am having a problem using my laptop's special keys to toggle my touchpad on and off on my ASUS G73JH laptop, running Ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-28-generic-pae).
First, some preliminaries:
My touchpad works just fine, but it does not respond to my laptop's special key, Fn+F9.
In /etc/acpi/events I have the following script, "asus-touchpad":
Code:
# /etc/acpi/events/asus-touchpad
# This is called when the user presses the touchpad button and calls
# /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh for further processing.

I've just upgraded to 11.04, but Unity is unfortunately not my cup of tea. I use the classic desktop but I cannot find a way to disable a certain graphical desktop effect... I'm thinking of how the current workspace quickly slides into the next when I choose a different workspace.
If my recollection is correct, you could turn effects like that off in 10.10. This makes me dizzy, does any of know how to turn this off?
I can't figure out how to prevent Zend Server starting at boot up. My temporary solution is to issue the following after boot-up:
