my servers cpu gets woken up alot (acording to powertop) by eth0 when downloading files, i figured i could get a cheap pci card that supports offloading.
View 4 RepliesI have fairly new requirement for a second monitor. My main display is running fine using nvidia proprietary drivers.I do have a pcie (probably x16) video card sitting around, but my motherboard only has 1 x16 slot (used by my main display), 2 x1 slots and a few pci slots. From memory, the second video card is an ATI card.Questions:
1. Can I put a PCIE x16 card in a PCIE x1 slot?
2. Would using 1 Nvidia card and 1 ATI cause trouble?
desktop has been running Ubuntu 10.10 just fine since December. Today, the connections menu shows nothing but "Wireless Networks: disconnected." My laptop is inches away and has a full connection.I'm not sure what diagnostic tools I have at my disposal. The one thing I've been able to do is lspci. The relevant output of sudo lspci -v | less is:

As you can see in the following code although I have the root access I can not get permission to install the device driver.As I have the root access I suppose to get access to install the driver. I checked around and got the procedure from a web siteEnabling root access in unbuntuBasically in almost all linux machines we will be havingroot access for login.but in ubuntu by default that option was not enabled.If u want to have root login in ubuntu then u have to do some changes in ur Ubuntu machinesSteps to follow1.First enter into ubuntu as your user login.2.Then open the terminal and type the command sudo -s,it will ask for root access and type the password.3.Then type passwd root it will ask for new password4.Open terminal and go to the path /etc/gdm/5.Open gdm.conf6.search for AllowRoot=false7.and then change AllowRoot=true8.now restart ur machine9.now u can enjoy with root accessThe funny part is when I search for the file which is gdm.conf in the prescribed location, I can not find it.

I recently added a new graphics card to my machine. Normally, Centos 5.3 runs without a hitch, but since the new card, boots as far as a kernel panic. Even a rescue or an install disk comes up with a kernel panic.I have tried Centos and Fedora CDs/DVDs.The card is a PCIE Radeon HD 4350.It works fine with XP, btw.Ubuntu and OpenSuse will load from install sources.

I have a ATI Radeon HD 4000 PCIe card in my Debian system. I got the proprietary ATI drivers working (fglrx) but a kernel upgrade killed that. I was unhappy with this driver due to the very high memory usage. The card works with the non-proprietary drivers but I can only clone my desktop. I want a single desktop on two monitors.
I booted with Ubuntu Lucid and my dual monitor desktop worked out of the box without the proprietary drivers so I thought that I could emulate what Ubuntu does in Debian. But I can't.
My issue is that I don't know whether I am missing a module in the kernel or I need to set up a brand new xorg.conf. Ubuntu doesn't have an xorg.conf to copy. My default Debian doesn't either.
I have messed around with my own xorg.conf and added various drivers eg "ati" and "radeon" but I can't get it to work with a single desktop dual monitor display.
I have been thinking about upgrading my RAID setup from a pair of Intel X25s running the software based RAID included with ubuntu to four Intel X25s running off a PCIe based controller. The controller is an HP P400 which I know works great on ubuntu (I have other machines running it with SAS drives). My desktop has an Intel S5000XVNSATAR mainboard and I have an open PCIe v1.0 8x (physical) slot that is wired 4x. The controller is 8x and will fit fine. How much of a performance hit do you think I will see running this 8x controller in the slot wired 4x with four Intel x25s in a RAID 10? Will I have enough bandwidth with the 4x for those SSD's?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if I could put my old DualCore PCIe Board into a Proliant 3000? Why not; I mean, the Array Controller should plug right into the PCI slot on the DualCore board. Of course, I'll have to shoehorn a second power supply into the case for the newer Board, but wouldn't it be a monster! Two 3GHZ Processors, with a 256 MB nVidia graphics card, 1.5 GB of RAM, and 8 Hard Drives! (7, actually, because one of them doesn't work). I'm up late, and I think I'll start working on it right now.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do you check if a computer's video card will support Kernel Mode Switching BEFORE OS installation?
In this example I have an Acer Aspire AST180-UA381B.
Manufacture website says my video card is: Integrated nVidia MCP61
[URL] ....
Nouveau code list says: NV4C (MCP61) GeForce 6150LE / nForce 400/405, GeForce 6150SE Quadro NVS 210s / nForce 430
[URL] ....
I want to know:
1. How to tell if my graphics card will support KMS before I install the OS?
2. If it does not support KMS which kernel options should be passed to get it to work properly with the nouveau driver?
3. Ultimately I am looking for a tool that should be included in the installation screen that will:
a. identify your hardware: list the hardware detected on the screen
b. highlight with color code any hardware listed that is not supported or poorly supported: in this case graphics drivers
c. perform a quick benchmark test of your hardware: In this case I want the benchmark to tell me what capabilities my graphics card has.
d. automatically recommend and set the best kernel parameters for a successful boot: if the graphics card needs nomodeset or modeset=0 or whatever I want it to do it for me.
Also I started a personal blog about this issue which I intend to compose into guide to assist others with this question. [URL] ....
My goal is to create a boot disc that will automate proper installation of graphics or other hardware for a system BEFORE installation. I would like to see this feature included in the Debian installation screen.

View 2 Replies View Relatedso i just downloaded Ubuntu Server 10.04 and i'm very happy with it on my virtual machine... but when i try to install it on my actual server it fails.
When i went to install it, it told me that there was no network hardware detected or something like that. So i just thought i could install a driver for it later.
So other than that all went well. and im very happy but now i dont know how to install my network driver. The card is a LYNKSYS LNE100TX. i downloaded the driver software and burnt it to disk because i was out of floppys. (I like floppys better) and when i went to install the software it allmost worked but it said:
Code:
make: gcc command not found
I'm assuming that means i need to install gcc but didn't really know how to go about it having no internet.
im trying to use this as an ssh server but i need to some how install drivers for my WMP600N V1.1 network card from linksys. so how would i go about this.
View 9 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have a kernel that supports Atheros network cards? I am using ASUS EEE PC netbooks and none of the kernels I have access to have drivers installed for the NICs. I am having issues when I try to build my own kernel and maybe someone has a precompiled one? Either that or if someone has a basic, step-by-step guide to building your own custom kernel. This is my first time building a kernel and I am kind of lost. This isn't actually for running Ubuntu I will be using it in an imaging program called FOG. I just need a kernel that will support these NICs so I am able to do some imaging.
View 5 Replies View RelatedDuring install of 9.10 server, both ethernet adapters were found. One is built-in to the motherboard, the second is on a PCIe slot. Selected the on-board adapter for eth0 during install, set fixed IP on the web, connected, updated, etc. w/ no problems. The second adapter is for the LAN.BUT, on first and subsequent reboots after installation complete the second adapter is not detected at all, as if it were not even plugged into the PCI or the driver not loaded. This happens on either of two slots, with two different adapters, Intel or Netgear, both pretty recent, and both of which are detected and work in a different box. 'Ethtool eth1' says device not found.This is a fairly recent motherboard 3N78EM).Since the adapter was found during installation I'm assuming that the problem is not with not the board. I've built several server systems with two or three ethernet adapters and have never run into this situation.

Of which with-pam is mandatory. I used prefix to put the binaries in a place that would not conflict with the standard distribution, this meant I also needed to change /etc/init.d/sshd so that it referenced the newly compiled version of sshd, and copy /etc/ssh/sshd_config to /opt/etc/sshd_config.
