I have something similar going on with my relatively old (it's core 2 duo I think) monitor-busted laptop for around a year now. But the discspace of that is only 160GB and it's somewhat a pain to always migrate the files. I'm also thinking it would be good storage of lots of big pictures as my brother is a hobbyist turned professional photographer and I am an apprentice of his. It will also be stored with lots of videos and sound files that can be accessed at least through the network.
I'm thinking of at least having it 2TB but there currently are two problems with the current laptop namely: the USB plug of the laptop has serious problems that it disconnects the USB2 randomly then makes it USB1 speed. Secondly, it has bad heat management that it shut downs randomly without a word (or so I think it's because of that it shuts down).
As much as I would like to build from the junk of old computers we don't use, I don't think I have the time recently to make my own NAS and experiment (and even though I'm excited in learning and setting up RAID - I don't think I have that luxury of a time at the moment).
I've been reading last night of devices like Buffalo Link Station and such but most if not all of them have their own preinstalled OS and Google searches doesn't stumble me to an. What I want actually is install Mint LXDE or Lubuntu as I prefer that it has the features and programs I'm currently using right now with the 160GB network storage.
Is there a NAS device in the market I can install Lubuntu or Mint LXDE (yeah, I think LXDE will be the best environment for the things I will do for it)? Or is it still better that I make some time and build my own NAS? Please advice *bows deeply*
PS: I've been checking for NAS devices available at a tipidpc.com (a very big local tech selling community) and found these:
Linksys Cisco NAS 200 dual SATA bay - [URL]
Buffalo Link Station Duo LS-WXL/E - [URL]
EtrayZ 2-bay [URL]
Do any of the abovementioned devices can be installed with Linux LXDE distro?

I'm using pyqt3 for my app and am lost on even how to attempt this task... On a vinyl cutter to have the blade pivot it must be offset from the center of the shaft it's on so say for example a .25mm offset would leave a .25mm unwanted vinyl attachment when the cutting is done. I somehow have to average or extrapolate that .25mm xy coordinate and add it to the hpgl plot file as a PUx,y; command? I have enclosed a simple sample file that has three images in it. In the corresponding hpgl file everything between the PU commands that are starting with PD are the code for that image (star for eg the pu to move to next image and then all PD for the next image and so on, so once the formula or procedure is figured out it can be applied to as many images there are in the file. Placing the new command at the head of each image PD group. Since there are absolute and relative cutters I enclosed the same exact plot for both types as the coordinates on relative can be negative numbers. Only PU and PD commands and a ";" as a command delimiter as sometimes many commands are on one line.The offset variable will come from a spinbox but .25 is good for an example.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've got 10.04 installed on my Blade 1000 workstation. Installed 6.06 first and worked my way up as per other postings. See attached cookbooks I wrote. Framebuffer is Elite3D-lite, and I have done the afbinit install. Using Xorg w/ Gnome and other windowing software to eliminate the possibility it is Gnome. From what I understand, Ubuntu does not require a custom X11 conf file like OpenBSD.
Current screen output shows large vertical stripes, where the stripes overlay on top of the GNOME desktop. Inside the stripes are the prior boot screen output of Ubuntu 10.04. When the screen saver kicks in, the Gnome desktop disappears, but the blue 10.04 stays visible. Mouse cursor moves across the screen, under each stripe as it goes.
My knowledge of framebuffers is limited. Would this then imply that the framebuffer is not fully "refreshing"? The screen does not provide full width even though the correct OpenBoot monitor configuration is set. Haven't found any mention of this issue from other Ubuntu/Linuxes Sparc users. Attached the X11 log. Looking at the log, I suspect this will need a custom X11 config file.
I need to install a webservice server coding in java & running in JBoss AS onto a blade server with Linux OS. Anybody knows what way to make use all the power of that blade? Or just install it as install on other system? In my point of view, there are two ways I could do: Implement a webservice "server" which accept the incoming request, and then deliver to its "client" webservice. So we would run one instance of server and many instance of client. Other way is just improve the current implementation, accept incoming request and try to use multi-thread as many as possible to maximum the performance of the blade server.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a linux box set up as a multi-purpose server for my home with three Windows client PC's. The linux box is based on a slightly modified Slackware 9.0 distribution using Linux 2.4.20 and an unfortinately old, slow AMD processor with a miserable 512Kb RAM. The linux box serves the CIFS file system to the Windows boxes, runs the SQUID HTTP proxy, the Apache web server, a print server, does masquerading, mail serving and a very effective firewall using iptables.
This system, although slow, has run perfectly for several years.Let me say that again - This system works perfectly.I had decided that now is the time to upgrade the hardware, so I bought a Gigabyte LGA775 motherboard which has two 1Gb network interfaces on it, an ASUS 256Mb PCI-E display card, 2Gb of DDR3 RAM, an Intel Core2-Quad processor and a bunch of 500Gb SATA drives to set up a RAID5 array (but I intend that the system boot off one of several 40Gb PATA drives I have).I set up the processor, motherboard, display card, RAM, a SATA DVD Drive and a 40Gb PATA hard disk in a "breadboard" layout and installed distro 13.1, being careful to set up the static IP for the local network, dhcpcd to get an IP address from the cable modem (my internet connection) and to enable ip_forward in the network configuration.
Then I installed a script invoked by /etc/rc.d/rc.local which installed all the SAME iptables rules as my old Linux box. There was one minor glitch when I had to change 8 occurrences of "-d ! $LOCAL_NET to" "! --destination $LOCAL_NET" but that was no problem. I also set up /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts , the BIND server files etc. etc. exactly as in the old box.
I am able to ping mirror.aarnet.edu.au (this is at the heart of Australia's internet hub network - if it's down the whole bloody thing is down) and have the system find the correct IP from the designated nameservers and contact that server with a return trip time of 35ms. I am able to run a telnet session from one of the Windows boxes and edit files on the Linux server. So both network interfaces work and I've got them the right way around.I am able to run FTP on one of the Windows boxes and connect through to mirror.aarnet.edu.au, although it seems to hang when I try a DIR (but then so does the old linux system).
We have done an installation on a blade server (HP) for RHEL4.5.
The server have an HP smart array 2200 controller and during installation it can see the controller and disks just fine.
The installation completes up to the point where the system needs to reboot , however after the reboot it does not start up again and get stuck at the message: "Trying to boot from drive c:"
We used the rescue option to mount the installation and cant find nythign wrong, even with the grub setup (except that it points to hd96 as its primary disk). we tried changing this to hd0 as well but still no luck.
After about 3 installations we are still not having any luck.
Lubuntu is nice - but it seems the LXDE version is not as up to date as Fedora LXDE Spin or even Debian squeeze with LXDE installed. I do like Chromium on Lubuntu though... its faster and a nice touch. I am looking for a lightweight 64-bit distribution for my main laptop (it is by no means "old" or "low spec" but I like that Lubuntu starts up in like 2 secs).
LXDE version seems not to be recent (esp in 10.04 version which seems to work more stably for me - with Nvidia drivers etc)64 bit install is currently a pain - requires first install of minimal CD or alternate CD both of which required wired Ethernet, then install of lubuntu from PPA. Native 64-bit support would be nice. Linux Mint LXDE, for example, is also only 32-bit.

I would basically like a distro like the micro core linux at 6mb but ubuntu based so i can build it from scratch exactly how i like without all the crap i dont want or use, which i can obviously insall ubuntu compiled apps on.

I have an old PC that runs win XP (slowish...) and was my faithful PC for 5 years. Alas, its RAM has degraded and it never had a graphics card to speak of, but it has a nice 1.6GHz CPU and a 80GB HDD. I'm thinking of using it has the network storage server, or just a second backup PC - and I want it as a file server to store my extra stuff.
Specs:
RAM: 192MBs (really degraded)
CPU: 1.6GHz AMD KM400
graphics: A graphics chip of 16MBs
HDD: 80GBs
It also has a optical drive capable of reading DVDs and writing CDs (but I'm not so sure on that one) and 6 USB ports. Which distro should I go for? I was thinking Xubuntu, and I don't want a server edition as me and CLIs are fine but not friends!
My Desktop only has a 60GB HDD which I am running Linux Xuuntu on. I just found a 40GB HDD that I install into the desktop as well. What I really wanna do with it is wipe it clean and then format it to be accessible from my Linux Distro like "Extra Memory" for storing things like music etc. I'm having trouble doing this. It reads in Gparted but not quite sure what I need to do to do this.

View 5 Replies View Relatedwhich linux distro should be used on a tablet pc. Some of them may seem unrelated, but they are not. I am looking to buy a very thin, very lightweight tablet pc, just like the ipad. However, I can not get the Ipad itself, because it does not have a USB port, and I must have at least one USB port on the tablet.
1. Which linux distro would you install on a tablet pc, (such as the ipad or archos 9) and why? I would like to be able to run a windows OS, simply because that is what I am accustomed to. But alas, I can not. The perfect tablet for me was canceled for this very reason. The HP "Slate". As was the Microsoft brand "Courier" tablet. They were both going to run some lighter weight version of Windows 7, but even that drained the battery so fast that HP ended up canceling the product. So I have to come up with another good OS, that is very lightweight. I really like the look of Kubuntu. Is there any reason I shouldn't install Kubuntu on my tablet PC?
2. Is there a linux mobile? You know how they have windows, mobile, and apple has their little mobile mac OS? Is there a linux mobile type of GUI OS that Would be beneficial to a tablet? Or is linux so conservative on resources, that I could install a full linux OS on a tablet PC such as the joo joo or ipad?
3. Would the system requirements of Kubuntu/Ubunutu/any other distro be easier on a tablet PC's resources than some of the other available OS's for tablets? Do I even have that part right? I am assuming that I can get a full OS on a tablet if I just use a linux distro. But it has to have all the goods. Such as...everything. All the stuff that you would come to expect from a good, full OS. Not some hacked off, scaled down version made to just barely work, so you lose a lot of functionality. 3-D games excluded, of course. I am talking about good touch screen support, good wireless network support, Bluetooth, 3G, webcam, the works.
4. Do you think that apps from Google's android OS would work on Ubuntu/Kubuntu? It is linux based, supposedly. So therefore maybe some of the apps might work?
5. Why are there so many versions of Kubuntu? For example: Right now, 9.1 is available. But they are working on 10.01. So uh... what are you missing out on by just keeping kubuntu 9 and not upgrading to kubuntu 10? I am used to windows, where any updates are free through "Windows Update". So can you just update from kubuntu 9 to kubuntu 10 without having to wipe your hard drive and install a new OS? How does all that work? How does kubuntu/ubuntu differ when it comes to the update process? I don't want to be behind and miss out on new functionality, but at the same time I don't want to have to wipe my hard drive and install the latest version of the distro every year and a half or two years. Can't you just continually update like with windows? I don't think that you can, cause all the linux distros that I have tried, have all said something like "This distribution will be supported until 9/9/99" or something like that. That is a fake date, but you get the idea. They have an expiration date, and if you want all the latest and greatest goodies, then you need to update to the newest version of the distro. I just don't understand how the update process works with linux, at all.
6. And a last, seemingly unrelated question. Do the Android phones do the whole jailbreak thing? Can they become like little wireless routers like the iphone can? This may also be a reason to use google's android OS on my tablet.
