Ubuntu Networking :: Hardware Detection In Ubuntu Vs Slackware?

Feb 4, 2011

This post has two parts. First the part that might look a little misplaced on this forum, but which I hope someone may still know a thing or two about: I have installed Slackware (alongside Ubuntu and Windows 7) to have something to play around with and hopefully learn a thing or two. I am able to get KDE up and running, but in the interfaces list under network preferences, neither my wireless nor my wired network card shows up. Both cards show up correctly in lspci:

[Code]...

This challenge has caused me to wonder about the second part of this post. What is it that makes Ubuntu good at hardware detection? I know the Linux kernel should detect most hardware, but if that was the whole truth, there would be no difference between distributions in this aspect, correct?

Slackware :: Unable To Get Hdd Detection With ASUS M2A-MX

Sep 13, 2010

i got into serious harddrive detecting issues after an upgrade from slackware 12.2 to 13.0, it simply doesnt seem to find them anymore. ide drive giving lost interrupts and sata drive not being found. when i boot a slackware 13.1 install dvd i get the same issue. but when i boot a 12.1 slackware install dvd it works fine.

to me it seems that something changed in the kernel between these releases which causes this, but i wouldn't know what and how to fix it. i tried searching here and googling but probably not using the correct keyboards. anyone got a clue what to try? i find it hard to believe that this mobo / chipset (which arent the latest but not that old or weird either i believe) arent supported anymore.

Slackware :: Automating Raid Failure Detection On Slack 13.1?

May 1, 2011

I just setup sendmail on my server to send emails and it works, now I would like to be able to get an email from mdadm if sometjhing was going wrong. I imagine most raid users have this feature setup.

Right now, I have 7 raid arrays and mdadm starts at boot time. Until now, I used Mr. Goblin's script (http://connie.slackware.com/~mrgoblin/files/rc.mdadm) (thanks Mr Goblin!) to monitor my arrays.

The script is started at boot time from rc.local. I created a small script in /usr/bin that send the following command to rc.mdadm giving me the status of the arrays:

Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.mdadm status

and it works fine, but this requires me probing the arrays manually by calling the script from the command line. I would like to automate probing every 10 minutes or whatever and if a fault has been detected, I get an email.

Networking :: Duplicate Address Detection In Ipv4?

Sep 22, 2009

Linux has duplicate address detection mechanism for IPv6 and nothing for IPv4 in kernel. At boot time, initscripts take care to check for the duplicate address but when an IP address is assigned using ifconfig or ip utility, no error is generated.

Networking :: Ethernet Bonding - Link Layer Detection Failover Not Enough

Jul 7, 2011

We run redundant switches that two nic's on each server connect to. We also run bonding on our servers. Because we have two switches, we can't run lacp or anything. If a switch goes into a crashed state where it doesn't pass traffic but still provides link, bonding thinks the interface is still up and thus will still send traffic through it. Does anybody know a better way to configure the fail over of the interface? This would be a similar situation to somebody using a media converter.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No DVI Detection In Karmic 9.10?

Apr 20, 2010

I have essentially been raised on Windows so I have no idea how to get DVI to work in Ubuntu. I have a Ubuntu/Vista desktop with an ATI Radeon X1350 graphics card. I can get picture from DVI when I boot into my Vista partition (the computer originally came with Vista and I have a Zune which will not work with Ubuntu ). But the moment I try to use DVI on Ubuntu: I have no picture. The ATI Radeon X1350 Pro is using the open source radeon driver. I know this from the System Testing diagnostic I ran when I finished setting up Ubuntu, the log file mentioned a line: Kernel module: radeon, underneath the section about my graphics card. That is about the limit of my Linux skills for right now, so any thoughts? If you need more information about my system I can comb through that log file which is still saved in my Fire Fox history.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Intermittent Sound Card Detection?

Jun 8, 2010

I am having a very strange problem with my sound card. I have found that occasionally when I boot up my system the sound card is not detected. I could understand that there may be driver issues if it was never detected but it usually works again after a reboot. I read that it might help to switch to ALSA so I switched the audio input and output to ALSA and thought it had fixed the problem but I just noticed that the sound card was not connected on my most recent boot up.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Prevent Display Detection At Boot?

I regularly use 2 monitors at 2 different locations. Booting Ubuntu on monitor 1 works great. Booting with monitor 2 connected causes Ubuntuto load with really low resolution.If Ubuntu is running and I unplug monitor 1 and connect monitor 2 all is well and it works perfectly.How can I tell Ubuntu not to check/change the display settings during boot so that it will work correctly with monitor 2?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Jack Detection Not Working - Toshiba T135D

Mar 15, 2010

I bought a Toshiba T135D-S1324 two days ago, and the only thing I can't get to work is for the internal speakers to automatically mute when headphones are plugged in. (Ubuntu 9.10 for AMD64 by the way.)

I have tried to add "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop probe_mask=1" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf but that didn't work.

The jack detection box is not available under sound preferences. Alsamixer only shows PCM and Master.

"sudo cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec" shows "Codec: Conexant ID 5066"

Ubuntu :: NVidia Dual Monitor - Auto Detection - Without To Restart X?

I've just installed Ubuntu on my laptop. My laptop has an nVidia card so I'm forced to use the nVidia configuration tools. What I'd like to happen is for it to automatically start using my monitors if they're detected. OR, make a simple script that will enable the monitors without needing to restart X.

Ubuntu :: Automatic OS Detection Won't Find It When Run The Mkconfig Command On Grub2's Wik

Dec 15, 2010

I changed the grub2 on my /dev/sda to Arch's version, instead of Ubuntu's, and now I keep booting into the initramfs prompt whenever I try to use Ubuntu. The automatic OS detection won't find it when I run the mkconfig command on grub2's wiki, and I currently have the following in /etc/grub.d/40_custom:

Code:

enuentry "Ubuntu Linux" {
set root=(hd0,3)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-23-generic
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-23-generic root=dev/sda3 ro quiet
}

Which according to my partition layout, and a double check on gparted, is correct. Do I need to flag it as boot or something else? I tried putting Ubuntu's grub2 back on with the live cd but it kept saying /dev/ was busy.

Ubuntu :: Running Inside Windows/Keylogger Detection Possibility

Dec 22, 2010

Let's say I install Ubuntu in a way that I use VirtualBox with it, so I can run it inside of Windows.

If you use a Linux-incompatible keylogger such as eBlaster on my computer, will it still record my keystrokes because I'm running it in Windows? Or will it be unable to detect anything since I'd be typing in Ubuntu?

General :: Red Hat New Hardware Detection ?

Jan 20, 2010

If i install new hardware using a vmguest or physical system How can I detect it.

disk
nic
memory
etc.

In AIX we just run cfgmgr -v. Is there a similar command in Red Hat?

I am guessing a reboot will pick it up if the device drivers are common enough and in the kernel already.

I want to know how to do this dynamically with the system on-line if possible.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 And Monitor Detection?

Jul 22, 2010

I opted to blow away my system (no did not save xorg.conf), and do a clean install of 11.3. Not a big deal to blow it away, nothing lost.

Dell Dimension C521, 3GB RAM, Athlon DualCore
OpenSuse 11.3 x64
Nvidia GeForce 6150LE (on mainboard)
Dell 2048FP 24" Monitor, connected via VGA

When doing the install, all appears to go well. I added the "nomodeset" option after the first boot to avoid the graphics issues. KDE comes up and is in 800x600 mode at 50hz. That is the best resolution it will show. All other options in the configure desktop applet are lower. This monitor was driven at 1900x1200 on the same config with 11.2.

[Code]...

In the nVidia-Settings applet (run as root), it shows the display as "CRT-0". 11.2 showed it as a Dell.

General :: Mp3 Any Beat Detection Software

Apr 9, 2010

Amarok 2 can search through music collection using ID3v2 tag's 'bpm' field. That would be very nice to retag the entire music collection so I can find the 'mood' of the track I like.However I've not found any beat-detection software that could have helped me. Have you ever used one? CLI, preferably. Also I'm interested if there's anything alike for tagging FLACs with the same 'bpm' field.
