Hi I got a problem regarding my pcmcia card It seems one time I started my lap, the hardware detector indetify that my card wasnt working. So when I booted completely I did the modprobe yenta_socket crdmgr /etc/init.d/pcmcia start And it boot, however I havent been able to get it to start during boot time. Here is some useful data from my modprobe.conf / modprobe.preload modprobe.conf ### section lt_drivers ends alias eth0 pcnet_cs modprobe.preload modprobe yenta_socket evdev winmodem

Hi Guys, good news, OpenOffice.org 2.0 has a new splashscreen... It's pretty cool but now we want to take it to the next level. We want to recreate the Image but also the components. One of these components is the 3D gull. One of the mayor tasks is re-create this array of vectors and make them actual SVG components. I was sondering how to go about it, since the project seems a little time consuming I want to ask around for expert advice on what tools to use and what to go about it. I have tried with Inskscape but either I am using the wrong technique or the software is just not mature enough. But maybe you guys can help. The image is this one.

Hi I acknowledge that this is more an xp issue but since I havent been able to run my modem and use an xp machine as a gateway I have been founding this really bizarre issues. The XP machine and a Mdk/W2K laptops are connected to a crossover cable. The issue has to do with my network not always being on at its best condition. Here is my scenario: - Yesterday I connected to the internet with no problem - So I did my interneting and then shut down everything - Then around 7pm I tried to switch the connection (I got 2 dial up providers) - I change the shared connection to the one I wanted to switch - I connect to the 2nd provider succesfully But... - the mdk machine found that it recieves no internet Now to make it even werider I tried to connect to the first dial up provider and didn't work, I swith the mdk to the w2k (is dual boot) and I dont see the machine on the neighborhood. I sent my connection to a disable/enable switch and all of a sudden I get internet back So I switch the W2K to mdk and I am getting interent with no problems. But my question remains, WTF happened? I wonder if some networking guru who understand the crappy XP networking rules can explain me how to do an ICS. BTW: the shared connections had no Winbugs firewalling.

Thanks, will try it tonight.

So on linmodems.org they told me to get the source of my kernel and compile against my source kernel headers. I just download kernel-source-2.6.8-24mdk.i586.rpm I urpmi it and now I wonder what do do :| I dont fine it anymore under /usr/lib/modules/2.8..../ and I think it might be under /usr/src/ instead but my question remains how can I compile it against the source now since before was pointing to the binary, is there an autodetect? Sorry, first timer doing this.

I remember on winbugs you could fine-tweak the LAN card indicating if it was 10mb a 100mb a full duplex or a half duplex network. Can this also been done on Linux, does it matters? I want to get a better crossover ethernet cable and pump it to 100mbps. I wonder if once I get that cable would I be able make my network card aware of it. Thanks.

It could, the driver is for 2.6.8.1-12mdk and mine is 2.6.8.1-24mdk. would that make a difference?

I got a DELL Inspiron 4000 with a Lucent Modem which I havent been able to install even using the scanModem and after upgrading to the latest kernel which was supported according to ScanModem utility from linmodem. Now the issue ist hat the .ko files (modules) are not recognized once doing the modprobe. The error files is basically says that the .ko failed to be recognized. I hope anyone can help me since I have been struggling this for

Thats the issue, I cant use urpmi from windows, I can only get on line from windows cuz my linux partition dont detect the modem. The linux driver for my mdem can only run once I update the kernel.

Hi I am a dual boot and I need to update my kernel to install my modem. The issue is that this kernel is not updated to 10.1 (still from 10.0) so what I need is to update it, I download the RPM but asked me for bootloader-utils 1.9. My question is if there any other rpm I should be download, since I need to reboot each time and I am also in dial up, this process could be really time consumig.

Anyone know a good cd ripper from the command line. And any other to convert from wav to mp3 or ogg vorbis. I would like if they have batch features, cddb so I dont have to input Tags or manually naming the files. Finally a better wav2ogg would be perfect.

Wow great stuff, thanks man, now I got a new challenge Imagine that I want to do this but from a higher level of folders. Actually I am triying to do this on the gaim logs. I had the conversation on ICQ son in Gaim I get just the ID number as the folder name which leaves me pretty lost. So I want to do the grepping from a list of folders and I want the path to be displayed instead of just the filename. Example: > ls 4323422 2343234 23454 3463334 3454345 375444 >> grep -H good * | less ..... [4323422/23-05-2004.log] the name of the good stuff.... [3454345/02-12-2004.log] only good man die...

I have a folder with lots of email files, I want to search for a specific string. I use less and I get the strings I wanted but I dunno which file is comming from. How can I manipulate the output so that the filename is display after the string. Something like this. Thanks. [moved from Software by spinynorman]

I want to list and JUST display the files on a specify (range) date from the command line. I am not sure if grep can do that. Something like this: file1 20-02-2005 file2 22-02-2005 file3 22-02-2005 > less ..... 22-02-2005 file2 22-02-2005 file3 22-02-2005 [moved from Security by spinynorman]

My roomate is helping out in a school, he is an all windows guy. However I am triying to push him to Linux. However he tells me that he wants to make a system to manage the books from the school. He is doing something in Excel But he find out that Excel 2000 is not compatible with Excel 97 :P So all his system doesnt work. I was thinking on duplicating that in OpenOffice.org but then I thought that a dedicated web application might be better. Just wondering if anyone knows of such a thing? Thanks

Hi I have many devices I connect through my USB hub to my laptop. My Laptop only have 1 USB port but the hub extended to 4 ports. So some of my devices are: - External HD - USB memory - Digital Cammera They all work great, however I have a mess on the /mnt/ folder. Currently I have many incrementing folders under: cammera cammera2 iomega cdrom memory_card, memory_card2, memory_card3, memory, sonyusb/ I want to get rid of some of the extra folders, can anyone help me configure this better. Thanks.

I got some issues handling ODBC under Mandrake 10.1. I make the mysql connection process but still dont connect after inserting the password in the OOo interface claiming that it didn't found the database. Is this a known issue, is there a solution. It works on windows, but mysql using gODBC was a failure.

Maybe you can do this through vCal files.

After getting files you gave me I couldnt add the modules to the kernel. I got this error after executing the modprobe commands. WARNING: Error inserting ltmodem (/lib/modules/2.6.8-0.rc2.2mdk/other/ltmodem.ko): Invalid module format FATAL: Error inserting ltserial (/lib/modules/2.6.8-0.rc2.2mdk/other/ltserial.ko): Invalid module format

Ok today I try to create the modules from the source, this kind of seem to work since it created the modules. But I want to know how to load the modules. I wish I could have more experience on kernel management (compiling, adding modules) I even got to the directory of the kernel documentation for devices, but here my lack of experience showed up since I couldnt even identify which folder to go to (no modem folder neither ppp). Thanks for the new link, I will try it rigth now, cheers.

I visit the site but they talk more about conexant modems which I think lucent dont enter here. but since you told me that you had the same model(modem) I'll give it a try with conexant.

I got a Lucent WinModem on my Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop. The modem Lucent Microelectronics WinModem 56k as describe by Mandrake tells me to modify my kernel for it to run. It seems this lucent modems work great with 2.4.x version of the kernel. I wonder if I can make it work with the 2.6 and anyone can help me set it up and get it to work. Thanks.

Hey people, I got an iomega 80GB external harddrive. My issue has to do with the mounting of the HD. I sometimes get stucked since when it started the mounting is under a normal user, however I cant see to unmount it. user> umount /mnt/iomega/ -- User doesn't have the permission to unmount user > su root > umount /mnt/iomega/ -- Can't unmount, device is busy Questions: - How can I unmount the HD? - How can I improve the speed of the transfer? The only solution I have right now (which is no solution at all) is configure the mtab so they get the new options and...gulp... reboot :o
