If I switch the network card in fullduplex mode (switching command: ethtool - change eth0 autoneg off duplex full), then the network stops working. On Slackware 13.0 this problem did not exist.How do I switch the network card in fullduplex mode?
View 2 RepliesI want to monitor network traffic with ntop from a Lucid 10.04 machine. Both NICs have picked up an IP address, I need to put one in promiscuous mode. I typed sudo ifconfig eth1 promisc and the response was SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied.I also tried sudo su ifconfig eth1 promisc[sudo] password for user1: I put it in Unknown id: ifconfig

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 would like to change wireless mode on my network card. When i type in iwconfig in terminal so i get abg I would like to have only a mode active. How do i do?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using SuSE Linux in text mode for the longest time (since 8.0) and I'm often more comfortable working in that mode. I have just installed 11.3 with GNOME as a fresh install on my dual-boot laptop and I am pretty happy with the way things work. But I still languish for my text mode from time to time.
So: I know about right clicking on the desktop and selecting "Open in Terminal" and that should really solve my needs, but I read here in an older thread about using Ctrl + Alt + F2 (as it happens, it can be F1, F2, F3, etc.) so I decided to try it out. Well, when I do that, I get exactly what I expected --- a black text screen with a login: prompt and I can do all my little texty things just as sweet as can be. Except for one thing: I can't get back! The only way I've been able to get back to a GUI is to use "shutdown -r now" as user: root. Also, Ctrl + Alt + F1 removes the GUI completely for all four terminals. Can someone tell me more about this function where I might read an "info" or "man" about it? I don't even know what it is called, so it is hard to know how to search.

I recently upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and have been unable to switch to console mode (Ctrl+Alt+Fx key combo). The system just freezes on attempt (not even capslock on off works) and the only option is hard reset. I am on a SONY VAIO VGN-CR353, just in case.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just bought an Asus TS mini server. It has an Atom CPU (N280), and an Intel 945 chipset.
I installed Ubuntu Server Edition 10.04, that went smooth.
But on first boot, I see it hanging just after it mounts the swap. Now I don't think it has anything to do with that, the problem seems to me that at that point, it also switches the video mode. I guess that's where the problem is caused. It just freezes, no kernel panic, no reaction to the keyboard.
The system is dual boot, and the other OS is Windows Home Server. I put an ext fs driver there, and tried to read the logs, but don't get a clue from there. In particular, syslog doesn't even exist. Also no X log.
Hi I have istalled a D-Link wireless adaptor - with the help of this forum.
It is up and running - the light flashes and lsusb identifies it correctly, so does iwconfig.
I can, however, not connect to the network, and I noticed the following errors on boot up.
Trigering udev events: /sbin/udevadm trigger -- type: failed /etc/rc.d/rc.M: wlan0 Error for wireless request; "Set Nickname" (8BIC) information; "Any ESSID" Set failed on device wlan0; operation not supported.
Lower down I get
Starting rt2870 drivers . . . /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: wlan0 information "Any ESSID"
Error for wireless request "Set Nickname" (8BIC) set failed on device wlan0 : Operation not supported
I have on two occassions seen sugstions to use wicd, but how do I use that?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI upgraded a wheezy box in qemu to jessie (without systemd!) and now I didn't get an output from the console to a hostterminal using curses.System and grub starts with terminal output, but after around 6 to 8 lines of output the terminal gets black. As far as I found out it seems that the init process switches to graphical output. I tried out all found kernel options from nomodeset up to nofb,Are their other options to stop switching to framebuffer and graphical mode.
View 0 Replies View RelatedCan you "split" a network interface in Ubuntu, similar to how airmon-ng lets you use your wireless card in managed and monitor mode, by making another interface out of the same hardware? I know it'd be slower, but I'd still like to do it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was reading about ext3 feature and I have read about its journaling modes. I would like to ask what is the default journaling mode of ext3 fs in slackware(or is it in all distro using ext3)? I'll install slackware when my new pc arrive and the fs I will use will be ext3 and I like it to have data=journal mode for its journaling. I have read in some wiki how to set the journaling mode into data=journal mode.
Code: # tune2fs -O has_journal -o journal_data /dev/sdXY Do i need to issue this command or is this the default mode in ext3 in slackware?
I recently purchased a new laptop for school and installed Slackware64 13.1 I love Slackware, don't get me wrong, in ten years of using Linux, it is by far THE BEST distro I've ever used. However, after about a week's worth of use, I'm doubting the "advantages" of using a 64 bit version. Frequent incompatibilities, library headaches, almost no performance difference, the list goes on. In truth, I have no real need for 64 bit, and 32 bit would probably solve most, if not all, of these little headaches. My question is, what is the best way to switch to 32-bit? Should I just backup, format and re-install using the 32-bit version? Would a simple kernel recompile work? If I re-install using 32-bit, should I format first? I'm personally thinking that I should do a "bare metal install" and cut the Gordian knot instead of trying to untie it. The following is the technical specifications of the computer in question.
Acer Aspire 5538 Notebook
Cpu: AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core @ 1.2 Ghz
RAM: 4GB DDR2
HDD: 320GB/298 GiB
ATI Radeon 3200HD Graphics
ATI RS780 Azalia Sound card
Atheros 928x 802.11 b/g wi-fi
I'm aware that some of this hardware is slightly exotic, but I've had no trouble getting any of it working on Slackware64 13.1 and I don't anticipate any problems with it when I switch to 32-bit, but I have been wrong before.
So I decided I want to switch to KDE because it's kinda neat and I decided I wanted a sleeker desktop. I've heard trying to xinitrc file, but I looked in the file and I have no idea where to start configuring it..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble getting X to work after switching from onboard intel video to a 5000 series ATI card. Apparently I need to switch to a MESA or fglrx driver. I did a sudo apt-get install fglrx-driver and it installed but still no X. I'm currently using Karmic. I've tried to boot with a live CD which works fine and changed the xorg file manual but that was a mess.
When I start I get a checking battery state ... done and it stays there forever sometimes and sometimes I can login but without x. Typing startx gives me a long list that says check the xorg website. I've been looking around for a way to fix this and haven't been able to get it working.
I been having a problem with default sound device. I have a TV card and use on-board audio. Every reboot the default soundcard switches between the two. I made an asound.conf in etc pointing to the on-board for Firefox to get sound, but since it keeps switching between the 2 devices I keep having no sound in Firefox. How can I set the on-board audio as default, and make it stick?

Shutting down and unplugging the power cord works as well.

I was just given a dell mini 9. Joy a new toy The SSD has failed, so I installed Slackware -current to a 2GiB SD card.

I'd love to mount the entire drive as read only. Then certain directories that need written to as ramfs. However this mini 9 only has 512MiB, and I'm affraid I'll quickly run out of space.

I like to test my network often. Until recently, I've been doing so on my old Ubuntu 6.06 laptop... the problem is It's too slow (1.06 GHz single Core ), and old, (designed for Win 2000) to really be effective any more. So, recently I bought a new laptop...one with a Dual core Processor, and twice the speed. Anyway, I'm running Fedora Core 10 X86_64 on it. My problem is as follows:
Although I do have MadWifi installed, for some reason, I still can't put my Atheros based Netgear WPN511 into monitor mode. (in the Network configuration window, it says "Atheros Communications Inc.
