  4. New Daylight Savings Time [solved]

    in Everything Linux

    Posted

    If your using a recent version of Mandriva Linux (or most Linux distros) with updates, you should be set. You can check it with:

    [greg@halfway ~]$ /usr/sbin/zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:59:59 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:00:00 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000

    if you see March and November, your ok. :)

    # apt-get install

    Reading Package Lists... Done

    Building Dependency Tree... Done

    0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 removed and 183 not upgraded.

     

    why is this "183 not upgraded." ?

    You didn't give apt-get anything to install?

     

    It's 

    apt-get install name-of-package

    replace name-of-package with whatever you want to install.

    Or you can do:

    apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

    to upgrade your system.

  8. Problem: Mandriva 2007 Italian & English [solved]

    in Art And Design

    If I go to "Configure your computer -> System -> Select the language..." and I select "Italy", I see "The change is done, but to be effective you must logout". I do it and nothing changes.

    I use Gnome instead of KDE

    You can try installing kde-i18n-it and using those fonts with Gnome (I'm guessing this works, I've never tried it).

  11. Problem: Sitecom WL-170 Wireless [solved]

    In Windows the driver is: C:\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\rt61.sys and my card works perfectly. So in Mandriva I used ndiswrapper with the rt61.INF that is on card's installation cd. I thought it worked but instead no. :wall:

    OK, I though that was a driver that you d/l from another source, sorry for the confusion. :rolleyes:

     

    Place the rt61.sys in the same directory that you have the rt61.inf and try ndiswrapper again please.

     

    I'm too slow... lxthusdan has arrived to help you now :)

  13. Wireless network stopped working [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted

    My card is a broadcom bcm4318 air force one 802.11 wireless lan controller

    I have the BCM4318 working with the Linux driver using Debian. I had to check on this for you before I posted... that driver is also in Mandriva 2007, if you would like to try it.

     

    You would have to install the bcm43xx-fwcutter to extract the firmware from the bcmwl5.sys to /lib/firmware that is needed for the use of this driver. Alternately I could make the 'latest' bcm43xx-fwcutter version and extract it for you on my Mandriva box? I don't think it would be legal for me to attach it here, but I could pm it to you. Then you would simply copy it to your /lib/firmware directory and do:

    modprobe bcm43xx

    and set it up with your gui.

     

    Let me know?

    I'm getting the following error:

    [FATAL: ERROR inserting ndiswrapper]

    I did modprobe ndiswrapper and got the following:

    (/lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/kernel/3rdpartyndiswrapper/ndiswrapperko.gz): INVALID arguement

    Were you using the mmc or terminal to set up your wireless?

     

    Did you do the:

    ndiswrapper -i driver.inf

    after you compiled your new ndiswrapper?

     

    Just for the heck of it... what wireless card are you using? :mysti2:

    Hi Pluto, welcome to the MUB

     

    I'm sorry if it appears that not many members are helping. I've searched for your card, and it would appear that noone has used it and/or documented it's use with Linux yet.

     

    Here are some list for your reference:

    http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_alles.php?

    http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawi...ndex.php/List#S

     

    If you would like to take a look (until lxthusdan has time to help you) at the latest stable ndiswrapper, it's here:

    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93482

    The instructions are here:

    http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawi...hp/Installation

     

    Do you have a link for the drivers your trying to use now? If I can find some time later tonight, I'll take a look.

  20. I found a new ideal distro for me :-)

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted

    I did a net install of Debian Etch. Unfortunately, after doing this I found that one of the dependencies I required, wasn't there. I did find, that it was available in sid, so I've now upgraded the system from etch to sid.

    Did you do that upgrade as per this post:

    https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?s=&...st&p=299046

    or did you use the script that is mentioned next in that thread?

     

    I've been waiting to see how that upgrade went... I may give it a try. :)

  22. No Kismet on Mandriva 2007? [solved]

    in Software

    Posted · Edited by Greg2 

    <<<snip>>>
*** WARNING ***
LibPCAP was not found.  Kismet previously included a local copy of this
library, however it now expects libpcap to be provided by the system.
Kismet on Linux without LibPcap cannot capture data locally and will 
almost certainly NOT BE WHAT YOU WANT.
Your distribution should provide packages for libpcap, otherwise 
it can be downloaded from http://tcpdump.org

Configuration complete.  Run 'make dep' to generate dependencies
and 'make' followed by 'make install' to compile and install.

    How can I fix this? :huh:

    Make sure you have libpcap0 and libpcap0-devel installed, then run configure again.

    i am using 64bit

    OK, I asked you that 2 days ago. :)

     

    Now you must go to the easy-urpmi and set it up as version 2007 and architecture x86_64 and be sure to include the plf repos.

    Make sure you 'first' do 

    urpmi.removemedia -a

    before you add the new repos

     

    Then install dkms-ati-8.28.8-3plf2007.0.x86_64 and ati-8.28.8-3plf2007.0.x86_64

    Error! Could not locate fglrx.ko.gz for module ati in the DKMS tree.

    You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.17-5mdv (x86_64) first.

    We need to know if your system cpu is 32bit or 64bit?

    We need to know which version of OS you are using, 32bit or 64bit?

    "some requested packages cannot be installed: ati8.28.8.1.20060plf.i586 (due to unsatisfied dkms-ati[==8.28.8])"

    Sorry about that... you will also need to install dkms-ati-8.28.8-3plf2007.0

     

    If your using 2007, but it looks like your trying to install a 2006 package?

     

    Are you using Mandriva 2006?
