Debian Multimedia :: XOrg Auto-detect Failing To Detect Max Screen Resolution

May 29, 2011

I've installed Squeeze 2.6.32-5-amd64 on my laptop (Alienware M17X R3, Intel i7 Sandybridge, ATI Technologies Inc Broadway [ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6800 Series])The screen is 17", with maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080. After a default install of the operating system, the maximum resolution I can select is 1280 x 1024.My research so far has suggested that I need to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and provide xorg with the necessary resolution.

Again, by default, the xorg.conf file is not created. This leads me to believe that xorg is scanning my hardware at startup and providing me with whatever it thinks is appropriate. I tried following these instructions to generate an xorg.conf file. This process created an xorg.conf file under /root/.

When I copy this xorg.conf file to /etc/X11, I get a blank (i.e. black) screen. Deleting this file restores the default resolution 1280 x 1024.This system is dual booting with Windows 7. Under windows I am able to get a 1920 x 1080 resolution, so I know my hardware is up to it.At this stage I have yet to install the drivers for the Radeon graphics card.What are my options regarding configuring xorg to give me a higher screen resolution?

Server :: ISCSI Failing At Reboot To Detect Mapped Volume

Sep 28, 2010

I am trying to connect the one of server RHEL5.4 to the IBM iSCSI storage. Server is equipped with 2 single port Qlogic iSCSI HBA(TOE). RHEL detected the HBA and installed driver itself (qla3XXX). I have configured the HBA ip address in the range of iSCSI host port of storage. Both of the HBA is connecting to the two different controller of storage. I have discovered the storage using command iscsiadm -m discovery command for both of the controller and it went through fine. But problem is whenever server is restarting if both of the hba is connected to the storage then server will not detect the volumes which is mapped to the server and then to detect the volume I need to run "mppBusRescan" and "vgscan" command each time. If only one path is connected it is fine.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Auto Update Keeps Failing - Original Installation Location

Jul 29, 2011

Firefox auto update keeps failing so...I need help locating the original installation location.

I tried downloading the update and using archive manager to open rather than save, but still it wanted to save. Now I can't find the location it selected.

I want to locate the downloaded saved and delete the new files, to conserve space.

And I need to learn how to force an Automatic update.

I found a folder named firefox and another firefox 3.0 System will not let me delete / move to trash.

I want to update to latest version. Don't want to remove the original and lose all my bookmarks

Hardware :: USB 2.0 Printer Auto-detection Is Failing In Debian Lenny?

Feb 18, 2010

I just upgraded from Debian Etch to Debian Lenny (stable) and now I am having a tough time getting my printer to work. I have a LaserJet connected to the system with a parallel to USB cable.What happens is that when I go to print, nothing happens, CUPS says the printer is processing, and the job just sits there. If I load the ehci_hcd module, then the printer is fine.But it's not as easy as setting it up so that ehci_hcd is autoloaded at boot, because if that happens then when I turn on the printer I have the same problem. I have to actually unload ehci_hcd and then reload it!

Ubuntu :: Auto Detect Hard Drive Errors?

Jan 22, 2010

Someone explain this to me. I often thought in the back of my head, how do I check if my drive is bad in Linux? I always excused it thinking well I guess besides gaming that's another reason to keep a windows partition around. I boot up yesterday and Gnome was acting weird. Then, it happened. "We have detected bad sectors in your hard drive." I thought, no, you're stupid, this hard drive is less than a year old (however it was a replacement for another one that died). So I reboot.

Boot back up - Different error message. But instead of getting it a few minutes after log in, I got it right away. "We have detected potential hard drive failure." Okay, Linux. Want to play this game? Booted to Vista, downloaded Seatools to test my Seagate drive. It failed... Swapped SATA cables... it failed... So I ask - how does Linux have this auto detect capability like that? As much as I love Ubuntu, I was like there's no way it could just magically tell like that without running the Seagate program. But alas, Ubuntu was dead on target.

Ubuntu :: HIPOINT Does Not Detect Wireless Devices Auto

Jul 18, 2010

I am running UBUNTU 10.04 on an X86 system 64bit. I am trying install a wireless keyboard and am not having much luck.

-My non wirelessUSB keyboard and mouse work fine.
-My wireless logictech mouse works fine without adding any special drivers/packages
-Wireless Keyboard (LX500, uses same receiver as mouse) does not work with standard config
-Adding HIDPOINT and selecting my wireless mouse and keyboard (LX500) - wireless key board does not work. Mouse still works.Since my wireless mouse worked before HIPOINT installation (64 bit), I believe HIDPOINT is not working.

HIPOINT Does not detect my wireless devices auto, must manually select them. So I believe that there is some conflict with other drivers.Can anyone point be in a direction to look? What are the typical configuation files and drivers used to configure standard USB mouse and keyboards? What are some other software that might be installed that is conflicting with HIDPOINT?

Networking :: DHCP Server Auto-detect

Apr 1, 2010

I have a scenario where a Debian (in this case) device will be connected to an existing LAN.What I then want said box to do, is to query the LAN to see if there is an existing DHCP server present. If there isn't one - then simply use the Debian box as the DHCP server (which works fine atm).If there is an existing one - I need the Debian box to be able to turn off it's own internal one and get it's details from the existing server (ie. change from server to client).

These action will need to be sat in the background as well - just in case another DHCP server appears on the LAN after this box does. Don't shoot me for saying it - but I know Windoze server does this. Is there a 'script/util' that anyone knows of (I am trying to do this auto-magically)?

OpenSUSE Install :: Way To Turn The Terminal Auto-detect Off?

Jun 14, 2011

SuSE 11.4 is a wonderful release, but two chronic problems remain. The most serious is the inability to get Gnome to recognize an intel driver parameter specification in xorg.conf or 50-screen.conf with a predetermined, working screen specification. With the latest update that includes: [url]

Gnome will boot up in a strange resolution with a display of a pink screen and fragments of icons split and duplicated over the display. Teasing open the terminal parameter screen, terminal parameters (resolution, horizontal rate) appear to be correct. The terminal type is 'undefined', whether the screen is operating correctly or not, and any attempt to set defaults are refused. Perhaps the intel driver has not been selected by the operating system. Is there a way to specify a default screen driver?

This has been a chronic problem, now aggravated with the latest update to the point where the computer is now rendered inoperative.

Ironically, the other problem, that of the difficulty in downloading certain update files also remains. Had an elaborate update workaround procedure not been followed, the system would still be usable.

General :: Auto Detect Text File Encoding ?

Jun 24, 2011

There are many plain text files which were encoded in variant charsets.

I want to convert them all to UTF-8, but before running iconv, I need to know its original encoding. Most browsers have an Auto Detect option in encodings, however, I can't check those text files one by one because there are too many.

Only having known the original encoding, I then can convert the texts by iconv -f DETECTED_CHARSET -t utf-8.

Is there any utility to detect the encoding of plain text files? It DOES NOT have to be 100% perfect, I don't mind if there're 100 files misconverted in 1,000,000 files.

Debian :: Where To Find The Fw-detect Command ? (for Firmware / Wireless Detect)

Jan 12, 2010

Code...
To find the appropriate firmware without knowing the make or brand of your wireless chip, you can use the command:

#fw-detect

But apparently debian package do not offer this useful tool, well, certainly for sidux exclusively.

Is there a package of fw-detect eventually?

Ubuntu Security :: Ecryptfs Doesn't Auto-decrypt With Auto-login

Jan 6, 2011

I recently installed 32bit maverick and wanted to make it login automatically. I tried enabling auto login from Admin > Login but that didnt work and I was still prompted for my password. Then I went to Users & Groups and changed the password option to Do Not ask for password at login now after I reboot, the user list is shown (only 1 user) and it doesnt ask for password after I click on my username.

However, then it gives a few errors (as i vaguely recall):

1. cannot load .ICE directory in my home directory
2. some error 256 about a gconf-sanity-2 file
3. nautilus cannot load my home directory etc

and then it gets stuck without loading anything (blank wallpaper). i ve tried navigating to my home directory using Alt F2, gksudo nautilus and my home dir contents are encrypted by the ecryptfs (there is a readme.txt file and a shortcut). i have tried to decrypt but it doesnt work... i ve also tried to start/stop gdm, and startx but nothing works. if i stop gdm, then the prompt doesnt recognize my password and keeps on rejecting the commands i enter... I think this has something to do with the home dir not being decrypted due to the dont ask for paswd option... how can i disable the dont ask for pwd without the gui (i can access my / by booting through an external usb).

Ubuntu :: Auto Run (auto Exec) A Script On Mounting A Device?

Mar 16, 2010

I would like to exec a script whenever a user mount a device. The device could be an internal device (for example a partition on a second hard disk) or a removable one (for example a usb hard disk). The script must have sudo capabilities even if the user is not included in the admin group. Is it possible?

The specific question:
I would like to add acl option to a device whenever it is mounted.
I tried fstab but it's changing the behaviour of nautilus see:

[URL]... so I would like to create a script with the command

Code:
sudo mount -o remount,acl /media/data
and auto execute it any time data is mounted.

Networking :: Ethernet Auto-connect / Auto-sense Doesn't Work

Feb 3, 2011

I have noticed that a common issue to several distros is the fact that the networking subsystem doesn't automatically detect the link if an ethernet connection is disconnected and then re-connected to the NIC after boot. If the ethernet cable is connected after the system is up and running, nothing happens - ethtool eth0 shows link detected: no, and you have to restart the network service to let the NIC know that there is in fact a link, and actually connect. I have a Fedora14 (KDE) box with a brand new Asus motherboard with embedded NIC. Everything works great except the auto-detect of a freshly connected ethernet connection if the link is down to begin with.

Am I missing a ethernet link sentinel utility or something, or is this just the way linux works? I have done plenty of research on plenty of posts, and it seems this is a common problem, with no solution other than manually or programatically restarting the network service in a script to detect the link after a disconnect.

Debian Configuration :: Auto-login And Auto-connect To Networks

Jun 3, 2010

I press On-button, Debian boots, logs in and automatically connects to the Wireless network AND! to my local pc via LAN. It runs an ssh server, so I can ssh into debian over internet and communicate with the local pc (send a magic packet).Here are my problems:

1) I don't how to log in automatically. This and this doesn't work.
2) I need a network tool that can manage multiple connections and has a reconnect feature. With the default network manager I cannot even connect to more than one network simultaneously although I have two network devices of course.

And I guess I can run all that in console mode, right?

CentOS 5 :: Software RAID Auto Sensing Auto Rebuild Possible?

Magically, it worked!I found out later that I have to manually add individual devices like md1 to sda2 md2 to sda4. I got all of them added and rebuilt but my question is: Is there a way to make it so that if I "removed" a drive and put it back, the system will senses the new drive and rebuilds based on some internal table?

Ubuntu :: Log In Failing On Most Users

Aug 15, 2010

recently logging in become a bit unreliable - i thought i was mis-typing the passwords but on closer looking the passwords were ok (faulty passwords produces "authentication failure) Using the correct passwords the screen blanks for a second and then returns to the list of possible logins. I cannot log in except as one of the children - could this be because their logins have been used less often and less recently Everything was working well and I have not knowingly changed anything except the passwords after the problems started in order to solve what i thought was a simple mis-typing problem

I can log in as the children but their logins obviously do not have permission to do much
I also have a bootable puppy CD Unfortunately I am also a total noob but determined not to backslide into XP because up to now Ubuntu has been fantastic

Ubuntu :: Install 64-bit - Keeps Failing ?

Feb 28, 2011

I am attempting to install Ubuntu 64-bit and it keeps failing. This is my first 64-bit system, and have not had problems with installing x86 Ubuntu in the past. When the full install failed, I tried installing it within Windows and that also failed. I've attached the log from that attempt in this post (had to trim it down to fit the file limit though). I don't know if these are the same errors I was getting on full install as I didn't write those errors down...I can try again and post them if needed though.
