View 2 RepliesI have a virtual machine with Solaris 10. On this virtual machine I have to configure an iSCSI initiator.
The problem is that i have no physical SCSI devices to connect to my LAN
Therefore I have to create a Virtual SCSI device on my host laptop and configure it as an iSCSI server (iSCSI target) and share this virtual disk on the LAN.
Need help on how the scsi and multipathing works in Linux. From the docs i have read, i understand that by the use of multipathing we can assign multiple paths to a SAN partition. If there is a problem then one path will failover to other path.However, i am not clear on how linux recognizes the SAN partitions using the multipath drivers. For e.g. I have a HP Proliant server on which we have the following mounts:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 59G 11G 46G 20% /
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 494M 27M 443M 6% /boot

i was fooling around with ATI graphics settings and after i went to reboot my Desktop it kept comming up with odd symbols instead of a log in screen, then i started to try and do things with a LiveCD and screwed things up even more so now any time i attempt to boot, even into recovery, it stops at the line
[2.573600] sd 6:0:0:3: [sde] Attached SCSI removable disk
i have tried to do multiple fixes with no avail and i am not very savvy with linux as i have only been using it under a year, so it would be awesome if anyone could help this is 10.10 Maverick and the 32bit version,
I am testing PCLinux 2009.1 prior to installing. My desktop currently runs on ME and has been out of use for some time. It still works however and I can still get online. I'm currently using a laptop running XP. I would like to make use of my old desktop and tried to test PCLinux 2009.1 today. I followed the instructions obtained online and booted from the Linux cd. The pc booted up ok and displayed the first screen allowing me to select the "Live CD" option. After enter my system hung up at "Probing SCSI Devices:Segmentation fault".

In my understanding, the way /proc/scsi/scsi gets populated, /proc/paritions also gets populated in the same fashion. i.e. the description for first entry of /proc/scsi/scsi can be seen in the first entry of /proc/partitions and same for rest.
So, With this assumption, in my project, I used to relate first entry of /proc/scsi/scsi with first entry of /proc/partitions to get its total size and same for all entries.
But, I observed some differences in following scenario, where
1) The first 4 entries in /proc/scsi/scsi are SAN luns attached to my system and for which the actual device names in /dev/ are sda,sdb,sdc and sdd.
2) The last 4 entries are the internal HDDs on same system. In /dev/, their respective device names are sde,sdf,sdg & sdh.
(Output attached at end of the thread)
But in /proc/partitions, the device order is different.
You can see their respective sizes in /proc/partition output as well.
So, my question is, in this particular scenario, I can't relate the first entry of /proc/scsi/scsi with first entry of /proc/partition. i.e. scsi0:00:00:00 is not /dev/sde, because it is actually /dev/sda.
It seems that my assumption is wrong in this scenario.
Is there any way or mechanism to figure out actual device name for an entry in /proc/scsi/scsi in /dev/ directory?
How can my application should relate /proc/scsi/scsi entries with their respective device names and sizes?
When I enter "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" I'm returned with "cat: /proc/scsi/scsi: No such file or directory". I've tried this on two different installs on two different machines.

The thing is that I'd like non-root users to be able to run this script, which in turn needs root to /proc/scsi/scsi
I'm trying to install smlnj 110.73 on a 64 bit lucid, and during installation, it complains of no 32-bit support.
Having zero knowledge of how 32-bit emulation is triggered in Ubuntu, all the leads I have to go on is this piece of shell script used by the installer to determine the architecture and emulation:
Code:
#
# on 64-bit linux systems, we need to check to see if the 32-bit emulation
# support is installed
#
if [ x"$ARCH" = "xx86" -a x"$OPSYS" = "xlinux" ] ; then

Dowloaded 10.04 beta 2 64 bit iso and was trying to install it into a VM. Upon boot however is comes up with something like "cant install it on your 32bit machine".
I'm fairly sure my laptop has a 64 bit architecture (for example, i have the "lm" flag when i cat the /proc/cpuinfo), so is there a way to convince VB that I have a 64 bit machine? unless there is a better way to find out if my CPU is indeed NOT 64 bit?
I have a GRUB2 USB multiboot setup. Plus I have a multiboot setup on my computer with Ubuntu 9.10, PCLinuxOS, Windows XP, and Fedora 13. The issue I'm having is different but the same. On my USB multiboot, Fedora will hang up on certain devices. Things such as touchpad, bluetooth, etc. On my PC it hangs up on first the bluetooth, then I unplug, then the USB hub, then the mouse and finally the external hard drive. It detects the devices but it freezes on detection. I did get this error before the device detection began:

dracut: FATAL: Don't know how to handle 'root=(0,4)'

this is on the PC and the problem with the USB is that it will hang up when detecting devices.
I'm on Ubuntu9.10 with pulseaudio setup, everything works fine so far. But when I try to record my Desktop with xvidcap or recordmydesktop I'm unable to get the sound working.
xvidcap uses only OSS so I tried to setup the emulation by loading the kernel modules and adding the following lines to /etc/modules:
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss

Is there an application that allows one to 'export' a drive or virtual disk image to firewire so that the machine at the other end sees the computer as a regular firewire drive? Apple computers can do that via their target disk mode (hold down t on boot), but I am searching for an application that would work under Windows or Linux.The goal is to boot an older Apple iBook, which can not boot from USB, via this emulated firewire drive.

If I run the following command:

The emulator opens, I get a warning telling me to type OK and then get to a display that basically says this:
Typing anything gets me to a command line, but there doesn't seem to be anything there (not surprising based on the "---" on the previous screen). Typing "CATALOG" shows nothing.
Does anyone know how to use this emulator or has run into the same problem. I think that I'm doing things correctly, but it just doesn't seem to be recognizing the dsk file.
How does one switch between command line and keypad modes when using the jed editor with EDT emulation?
OpenVMS User's Manual states that when using the EDT editor if the user wants to control EDT using the keypad, the mode needs to be set for keypad rather than command line input:
I am using:
with this .jedrc file:
Using the -batch shows that the .jedrc file is correctly located.
I am trying to use one serial port simultaniously for two different programs. I have a two programs that use GPS information that I would like to run at the same time. At this time only one program at a time can access a serial port. I have found a way to emulate this in Windows so that I can have both running, now I'm trying to do the same in Ubuntu. Is it possible? If yes, How? The GPS receiver is connected via a USB port.

I'm running Debian (both Sarge and Lenny, on different systems) under Gnome and have a number of thin client workstations that connect to a software application on an AIX server. I'm using gnome-terminal to provide terminal emulation for this software. Unfortunately, the emulation leaves something to be desired, and doesn't catch all of the F keys properly. It seems F1-F4 act as some form of escape key, exiting out of the software back to the command line, when they should be performing different functions in the software. F5 and F6 work as they should in the emulation. Is there a setting I can apply to my gnome-terminal launcher that will make this behave like it I want? The terminal should ideally match the behavior of a Link MC5 terminal (we have some of these old beasts still around, still crunching away), but alas, I don't know how to implement this.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm under Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron using pulseaudio. I've got 2 soundcards : one internal AC97 7.1 without midi (card 0 in ALSA) and a PCI C-MEDIA 2.1 with OPL3 midi (card 3 in ALSA) I have sound in most ALSA or OSS applications with full 7.1 + 2.1 duplex. I have MIDI playback in any ALSA MIDI players (client 29:0 in ALSA).
I'm trying to run Final Doom for W95 on WINE with OSS driver. I have sound effects but no MIDI music. I tryed with padsp and aoss wrappers. I know I can use ALSA driver in wine or timidity, but I would rather use padsp + hardware MIDI if possible. How do I configure ALSA OSS emulation for MIDI playback and check that it's working ? I tryed playmidi but whatever I told it, it couldn't find any midi device.
I have xorg configured to enable middle button emulation:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
[code]...
After upgrading from OS11.1 to 11.2 I am annoyed by the fact that no configuration options exist any more to customize for my mouse. This is a 2-button trackball very ergonomic for people. that are prone to have RSI problems like me, a real solution.
Before in 11.1 I could use Yast to set up X that it would emulate a scrollwheel with the right button. Unfortunately now with 11.2 all has to be recognised automatically and they simply threw out the mouse configuration in Yast, leaving us with some useless console mouse configuration. Not every upgrade means an improvement, which seems very much like ....
Could somebody help me or give me pointers what is the procedure to recover this emulated scrollwheel functionality? I know it has to do with xorg.conf, but I don't have that file and without this good start it will be difficult for me to get anywhere. How is this file re-created?
i would like a combination of left and right mouse clicks to get me the same effect as the middle mouse does. when i first used the middle mouse button this stopped happening

Server has DQ35JO board, 8GB memory, multiple SATA hard drives. It was happily running Fedora 10, and Fedora 9 before that. I downloaded and burned the F11 DVD, booted it, did an install which is:
-- delete the LVMs
-- create a 200 MB /boot on ext3, the rest of /dev/sda on ext3 as /
-- reformat the swap partition on /dev/sdb1
-- leave the other file systems alone (they are all ext3)
I chose no optional packages and let it install. It finished normally and got to the "click to reboot" screen. Now, my server is completely bricked. When I power it up I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor. I cannot even get to the BIOS, or boot my Fedora DVD, much less boot the boot drive.
Whats is kde or shall i say the purpose of kde.

Could you please suggest me the steps? in Windows, it is quite easy to add as many adapters as you want. wondering, if this is even possible in Linux? I have to run GNS3/Dynamips for router emulation and bind those Loopback adapters to virtual routers!
