    So you can see it is trying to load but just then sits there and does nothing..

     

    lsmod details

     

    iwl3945 159368 0

    rfkill 9328 2 iwl3945

    mac80211 157844 1 iwl3945

    lib80211 5200 1 iwl3945

    cfg80211 35876 2 iwl3945,mac80211

     

     

    Any Ideas anyone?

  2. 2.6.29-tmb-laptop-2mdv

     

    Apr 3 16:18:38 localhost klogd: iwl3945: Wait for START_ALIVE timeout after 2000ms.

    Apr 3 16:18:39 localhost klogd: iwl3945 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16

     

    Any one got ideas of how to fix this...

     

    It is on an ASUS...

     

    I have tried I think every thing possible. except reinstalling completely..

  3. Dont know what type,

     

    Fingerprint detection under the bois?

     

    Fingerprint reader on the computer

     

    libfprint for Fingerprint detection.

     

    Stopping os being overvritten.. na not that i can think of.. unless you have bois password and no boot off CD.

     

    Buy a kingston lock for the laptop they have siren types.

     

    Set up ssh so you can access when the computer is powered up on the network.. Then you can turn the CAM on hehehe..

     

    You could write a script that when it connects it auto checks a site for you and if it has a bit set,(Page uploaded) it takes a photo every 15 sec then uploads to a site and trys to send email.

     

    You could pass it through TOR so if they have port 80 closed you still get the feed..

  4. and i can see it in lspci.

    00:08.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)

     

    from the other site try this

    If yours does not list a device present, then you may need to explicitly instruct it to use the driver using this command:

     

    ndiswrapper -a devid mrv8335

     

    Replace "devid" with the PCI ID or the USB ID of your card, in the form XXXX:XXXX. To get those numbers, run the command lspci -n (for PCI cards)

     

    we nee to find the full dev id of your card.

    lspic -nn

     

    the nn gives the number and name.

     

    then type the command replacing the devid...

    su

    ndiswrapper -a devid mrv8335

    modprobe ndiswrapper

    iwconfig

     

     

    try that..

     

    getting late now here i will try to be about..

  5. looks like your database is not correct go to this page and select the defaults for your computer then copy the lines into the terminal.

     

    Using su of course

     

    https://mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.php

     

    so once you have gone to the page you will end up with 4 lines like this

     

    urpmi.addmedia main http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/...ia/main/release with media_info/hdlist.cz

     

    cut each full line starts with urpmi ends with hdlist.cz

     

    open terminal Konsole, type su, type in password, paste line press enter and wait.. may take a while each line.

     

    If you have a slow connection you may want the compressed version of this info it was a little check box before the last click. Press back. and try with the compressed selected.

     

    good luck once you have done these four you will be able to try the other lines again.

     

    Looks like you did exactly what you were meant to do. Your doing well as a starter..

     

    the lspci was correct but i'm not sure what greg was looking for..

     

    Also reading it further down the list the ndiswrapper is installed but it cannot see your device.

     

    and i can see it in lspci.

    00:08.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)

     

    This is the same card as the webpage we pointed you to..

  6. lol thanx, i will report the findings back in say...30 mins? thanks again. ps - i will have to download them files on xp coz obviously, there is no internet setup on the linux. thanx

     

    I will try to help further today but i will be leaving the office in the next 30 Mins..

     

    And not sure if i will actually get to this post later today..

     

    I will read it tomorrow and help further if you need...

     

    Regards..

  7. I got it to work by downloading the source rpm

     

    then extracted the source file

     

    then used these options to get it to work correctly

     

    ./configure --with-ldap --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --with-ssldir=/etc/ssl/dovecot

     

    then

    make

     

    then

    make install

     

    LDAP used to be by default but it is not anymore so maybe they missed the new option.

     

    Just in case someone else has a 4hour headache like me..

  8. michaelcole, like i said, i am new on linux and you cant just expect me to do that in one hit...sorry. I'll have to go with what greg2 said. So greg2, what is a "terminal or (konsole, if you're using KDE)"? I have no idea what it is. How do I open it? Thanks, and sorry for me being so dumb lol. On XP im just fine, but linux, like I said...im new =)

     

     

    AHH real new..

     

    ok

     

    Start menu

    System

    terminals

    terminal program

     

    OR

    goto

    Start

    Run Command

    now type in

    konsole

     

    Now type in

    su

    now type the root or administrator password when it prompts for it.

    Now you can do all those commands above.

     

    No problem being new we all were one day..

  9. Not done it before but this is the start based on what i have read.

    based on this

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/...etgear_WG311_v3

    open a console

    type

    su

    type in your root password

    urpmi -v ndiswrapper

    now get your file from

    http://www.marvell.com/drivers/upload/MV-S800374-00.zip

     

    unzip it to a directory and go to that directory in the console still as root

    cd Inf/WinXP_2K

    ndiswrapper -i mrv8335.inf

    check if it is installed

    ndiswrapper -l

    now you can try this

    modprobe ndiswrapper

     

    now

    iwconfig

    If iwconfig lists a "wlan0" network interface with a whole bunch of details, then it worked.

     

    then they say try this so it works on start up.

     

    ndiswrapper -m

     

    Give that a try..

  10. Have a look in the file it will have all the files listed in your system which are in its idea the wrong permission.

     

    Some are probably world readable. If you dont want that change them and the file will be alot smaller

     

    You can also go into the security section under MCC and change the levels for the each item individually.

     

    You probably have bigger problems though do a

    du -sb * | sort -n

     

    This will give you a sorted list of how much space each directory is taking up.

     

    Yesterday i did an upgrade and had a few core files created very quickly I had no space.

     

    if you just want to make it empty quickly do this command

     

    tail /var/log/security/sgid.today > /var/log/security/sgid.today

     

    then you will only have the last ten lines in the file and the space will be instantly given back.. But you do have a problem to look at.

  11. If the one in the office is the computer you are accessing from then you can add a rule in the file /etc/shorewall/rules and not log from that IP address, this will solve the amount of data being stored from that single IP. I would not turn off Logging as it helps you detect breaches and other events.

     

    So if you are sure that the other IP address is secure stop logging that one only. IF it is not secure then run through the Log files when you can and look for and suspicious events.

     

    Also it is good training so you will know what is normal and what is not normal in the log file when you do have a problem.

     

    And learning how to read the log is always a plus for fault finding.

  12. Sound worked for me straight off, no playing around with any settings.

     

    I have 1GB and only use it for single application not a memory hog, so speed is fine.

     

    Much Quicker that rebooting into windows then doing the work then rebooting to linux and having no ability to run your linux apps whilst in windows.

     

    And music can play in amarok all the time no interruptions.

  13. Only done it to two computers so far, Had a couple of little bugs, but it runs fine.

     

    Some things are better i think but against 2007 spring.

     

    No major reason to use 2008 yet.

     

    The only 1 thing i still have to fix is the recording the TV for my programs. I can watch I did notice that the configure the card icon vanished, Maybe me.

     

    But do like it i am writing this on Spring whilst my daughter is printing something on 2008 from the Barbie web site. And no complaints from her. (Just daddy watch me.)

     

    The office is on 2007 now and no problems there.50 + computers. MCC and URPMI are my friends.

     

    Is there a KDE version of Firefox I really hate the file browser.

     

    At least Open office uses the KDE file browser.

     

    Thanks Adam.

  14. Virtual box at the moment runs a HD image only so windows cannot escape out on to the linux enviroment but.

     

    If you set up sharing and other things then the virus or windows could attack the share.

     

    Yes Windows will still get the viruses on the VBox.

     

    I just use it as a dedicated box for one function like you doing your taxes.

     

    I have one set up for my daughter for her Disney CD's

     

    But i dont share between any of these "boxes" at the moment.

     

    I also have 5 Other Distro's running in boxes for testing and checking things.

     

    Hows Townsville nice and HOT, last time i was there was in 1990-1991, nice place.

  15. Have you thought about sticky keys for him

     

    http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Keybo...sole-HOWTO.html

     

    XFree86 supports an accessibility option which allows disabled users to type single-handed. With sticky keys enabled, the user can hit a modifier key (ctrl, alt, shift) followed by another key, rather than having to hold the modifier key while hitting the letter.

    To enable sticky keys, first make sure the xkb extension is enabled (this is done during initial X server configuration and is usually enabled by default). Next, run the X server with the +accessx option. If you use startx, either run startx -- +accessx or add +accessx to the serverargs line in the startx script. If you use xdm, add +accessx to the appropriate server line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers.

    It is also possible to enable X accessibility with some end-user utilities with a running X server.

    Once X accessibility is enabled, press the shift key five times in a row to enable sticky keys. To disable sticky keys, either press the shift key five times again, or press a key while holding a modifier key.

    XFree86 also supports Slow Keys, Repeat Keys, Bounce Keys and an audible bell. xkbcomp can be used to generate a .xkm file to enable these. The appropriate xkbcomp commands are listed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compat/accessx.

     

    This will give him the press shift then the next key.

     

    also take a look at

    http://www.linux.com/articles/118179

  16. As may have been mentioned before this is not the Mandriva Company but some one may be able to help you.

     

    In the case of Open Office I think it is the Application that is having the problem with the Protocol not Mandriva.

     

    Try to save the file in one of your directories under home then copy it to the ZIP disk using Konqueror.
