    IPW3945 + WPA

    WPA is still broken in the current Cooker builds :( Dropped my network to WEP for the minute, so its not a major issue, but irritating nonetheless. Haven't got round to trying the newer driver version, as I'm wondering if I should wait for the merged kernel versions. Ho hum. -Leezer-

    IPW3945 + WPA

    Hiya, I'm having trouble with WPA on my Intel IPW3945 card- I can connect to WEP & unsecured networks just fine, but WPA just doesn't connect. It seems to get as far as requesting an address from DCHP, but doesn't get any further. The IPW driver is the current version from the PLF repositories, just about everything else is standard cooker, bar a few custom built libraries (Nothing that should affect things as far as I'm aware, mostly custom support libs) Thoughts? -Leezer-
  3. Odd little question :P How on earth do I change the folder view method under Mandriva's build of Gnome to use a single window structure, as opposed to keeping on opening new windows? (The Ubuntu method of doing things) I simply can't find the option, or for that matter any reference to it anywhere on the net. Cheers -Leezer-
  4. Hmm. I seem to have got somewhere, but not far enough :) modprobe saa7134 tuner=54 i2c_scan=1 This gives me a working set of video inputs, but doesn't appear to be initialising the TV tuner itself?!- ATM, its not even picking up static in TVTime, just a blue screen. (Also, the light on the card and the fan that normally accompany the tuner under Windoze are not there either) Do you think I should be taking this to the MythTV talk forum now? :P Cheers -Leezer-
  5. Hiya guys, I've gotta admit my TV Card appears to have lost me somwhat :) I've got MythTV installed and working (A painful experience in itself :P ), and I now need to get the dratted card working with it. The card in question is a LifeView Cardbus Duo digital/ analouge tuner, for which I primarily need the analouge function. I have done the standard ferreting on Google, and the only thing of real relavance that comes up is this: http://www.pvrweb.com/bbs-old/viewtopic.ph...19574&view=next which has the stuff like the PCI ID's & the kernel module required to drive the card. Trouble is that I'm now just a little lost as to where to go from here :mellow: Cheers -Leezer-
  6. Found it Quite typically, this option has vanished from KDE 3.5, and so a little manual editing is needed: Find your /home/USER/.kde/config/kickerrc file. Add this to the bottom: [buttons] EnableIconZoom=false EnableTileBackground=fals and those dratted popups are gone. Cheers -Leezer-
  7. Hiya, Small problem really, but its irritating the heck out of me- 1. I cannot find anywhere to turn off the icons that follow the mouse around as an app from the menu is loading. 2. Similarly, I can't remove the info bubble when the mouse is hovering on a button on the taskbar. Cheers -Leezer- [moved from Software by spinynorman]
  8. Partial fix- Install 10.1 & then upgrade. Still some problems to iron out (Cursor) but has booted & is working. Cheers -Leezer-
  9. Ubuntu- Nice little distro, love Gnome, but just not yet mature enough (For relative noobs :P)- I try to install what had worked on the same machine, just different hdd, and the installer bails out with a message that it couldn't load the IDE drivers :( MDK- No problems whatsoever, but the latest beta is another story! -Leezer-
  10. Hiya guys, For various reasons, I've tried to install the latest beta, as opposed to the current 10.2. The install went reasonably, but the first problem is encountered with the graphics test- This gave me a totally trashed screen, with no text visible, the cursor a messy blob etc. I've tried all the drivers listed, but to no avail. When attempting to boot into the system in normal mode, it hangs at initialising sound- I've disabled this for the mo & all is well. However, the graphics are still totally trashed, and I can't do anything, let alone update the drivers & x server. Failsafe works perfectly. Edit: Drat, sorry I should have given some specs: *Toshiba Tecra S1 *Centrino 1.4ghz *Mobility Radeon 9000 Ubuntu was working fine on here, but won't go back on, due to the installer trashing the brand-new 80gb disk twice, and refusing to load the IDE modules Mandrake 10.1 also works fine, but there's large amounts of lappy stuff not working under the stock kernel, & some other stuff. Cheers -Leezer- [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman]
  11. Finally- SOLVED!! Logistics on the IPW2100 channel pointed me to a file that removed a load of rubbish left behind by the ancient version Ubuntu had installed. With this removed, it compiled perfectly. -Leezer-
  12. OK, thanks :D Secondly, I have 99% solved SLMDM- Wrong driver version ; It's no use trying to compile a driver written for a 2.4 kernel on a 2.6 kernel, hence errors. With regards to the IPW, i'm trying the IRC in a moment, and we shall see what we shall see. Thanks -Leezer-
  13. Hi once again, First, sorry for the slight bump, but the situation evolves :P Anyway, I've fixed kpkg & have compiled & installed 2.6.10 from kernel.org. However, it ceases to surprise me that the SLMDM errors remain the same. Anyone have any ideas on where to proceed from here? Things are looking up on the IPW2100 front though, and these are the only errors I get now: I'm presuming that this is an error in the driver code itself, rather than in my kernel setup, so progress of a sort! (At the moment, I've tried disabling all encryption in the makefile, but no go) Thanks for your help -Leezer-
  14. Sorry, my typo. Anyway still the same error. If anyone has binaries for SLMDM & ipw2100, please post, otherwise soon I may be giving up on these, as they are non-essentials at this moment in time. (Still need them to get on the net though) -Leezer-
  15. Edit: Sorry, I spoke too soon Unknown target: make-kpg Something else is broken (Yes, I have installed the kernel packager) Before I install it, precisely what does it do? (In other words, does it update the kernel version running on the system or what, & if so should it create a new kernel entry in grub as the previous ones did?) As with the howto, I'd already found that, and was attempting to follow, but it was giving error 2 on attempting to compile. Therefore, I have been trying to fix the kernel source ever since Thanks for everything! -Leezer-
  16. Can someone pass me a mallet :D Anyway, Ive got the kernel source in a .tar.gz file, instructions from there please? (Since what i've done obviously hasn't worked) Thanks for your help. -Leezer-
  17. Ok, here's the text file (from SLAMR) -Leezer- compile_errors.txt
  18. Hi guys, I'm currently trying to compile IPW2100 & SLMDM in Ubuntu. After a real pain in the a$$ lot of twiddling, I believe I've got my kernel sources set up properly. However, when I try to compile them I get all sorts of errors like this: root@ubuntu:~/slmdm-2.7.10 # make gcc -Wall -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -I. -I/ usr/src/linux/include -DMODVERSIONS --include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modv ersions.h -o amrmo_init.o -c amrmo_init.c <command line>:138477907:408: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h: No suc h file or directory In file included from /usr/include/asm/system.h:5, from /usr/include/asm/processor.h:18, from /usr/include/asm/thread_info.h:13, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/thread_info.h:21, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:12, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/capability.h:45, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:7, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:10, from amrmo_init.c:47: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/kernel.h:72: error: syntax error before "void" In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/capability.h:45, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:7, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:10, from amrmo_init.c:47: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:43: error: syntax error before "_spin_tr ylock" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:44: error: syntax error before "_write_t rylock" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:46: error: conflicting types for `fastca ll' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:44: error: previous declaration of `fast call' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:46: error: syntax error before "_spin_lo ck" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:47: error: syntax error before "_read_lo ck" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:48: error: syntax error before "_write_l ock" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:50: error: syntax error before "_spin_un lock" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:51: error: syntax error before "_read_un lock" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:52: error: syntax error before "_write_u nlock" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:54: error: conflicting types for `fastca ll' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:52: error: previous declaration of `fast call' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:54: error: syntax error before "_spin_lo ck_irqsave" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:55: error: syntax error before "_read_lo ck_irqsave" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:56: error: syntax error before "_write_l ock_irqsave" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:58: error: conflicting types for `fastca ll' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:56: error: previous declaration of `fast call' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:58: error: syntax error before "_spin_lo ck_irq" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:59: error: syntax error before "_spin_lo ck_bh" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:60: error: syntax error before "_read_lo ck_irq" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:61: error: syntax error before "_read_lo ck_bh" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:62: error: syntax error before "_write_l ock_irq" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:63: error: syntax error before "_write_l ock_bh" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:65: error: syntax error before "_spin_un lock_irqrestore" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:66: error: syntax error before "_spin_un lock_irq" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:67: error: syntax error before "_spin_un lock_bh" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:68: error: syntax error before "_read_un lock_irqrestore" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:69: error: syntax error before "_read_un lock_irq" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:70: error: syntax error before "_read_un lock_bh" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:71: error: syntax error before "_write_u nlock_irqrestore" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:72: error: syntax error before "_write_u nlock_irq" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:73: error: syntax error before "_write_u nlock_bh" /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:75: error: conflicting types for `fastca ll' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:73: error: previous declaration of `fast call' /usr/src/linux/include/linux/spinlock.h:75: error: syntax error before "_spin_tr ylock_bh" In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/time.h:7, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/timex.h:58, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:11, from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/module.h:10, from amrmo_init.c:47: ((That's just a few from the compile of SLMDM, there's pages & pages of them :()) Any help appreciated. -Leezer-
  19. Oh well; Thanks for trying. Floppies aren't totally necessary, just convienient. I'll see what I can find elsewhere. My first thought was actually Slackware- the zipped version, as that states that it'll run on 4mb plus :P Advice on a Window manager would also be appreciated; Looking summat like Windows, or at least not too ugly THANKS! -Leezer-
  20. Hi all, Looking for a distro for an old P133 (Laptop), 24mb RAM 2gb HDD. KDE would be nice, as would be open office, but I think I'm going too far there :D RPM based would be a plus, I'm using Mandrake 10.1 on the other laptop. Final point is that it needs to be installed via 3.5" FDDS, or possibly from files on the HDD if I remove it & stick it in the desktop. Thanks -Leezer-
  21. Eh? What other errors do you want? It tells me that it's checking G++ Directory is /lib/cpp Then I am told that the C++ preprocessor failed a sanity check & it stops. That's all I can really give you. Anything more & I will need instructions. (I can post a copy of config.log if you want) -Thanks- Leezer
  22. I'll stop hijacking your thread now :D Continue discussion on insane C++ preprocessor at http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=24103 -Leezer-
  23. OK, I'm trying to compile LibSDL_Devel, as the rpm tells me that I've got everyhting installed, which I obviously haven't :P A way through the configure command, I get the message that the C++ preprocessor failed a sanity check. Even if there is a way to get LibSDL_Devel installed without manual compile, this looks serious enough to need proper fixing. Thanks -Leezer-
  24. I'm currently having this problem as well. Have tried URPMI- Standard libsdl only, and the devel rpms still tell me that they're already installed. The next step was to try & compile from source, but I am told my C++ preprocessor failed a sanity check - ?&@¬!" Annoyed and confused -Leezer-
  25. Sorry; You're starting to confuse me a little :D After a little coercion with Partition Magic, the install CD saw the offending partion as W95FAT32(LBA), & so I have done a little tinkering, and now have in my etc/fstab file: /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c/ vfat defaults 0 0 This gives me root access to the Windoze drive; Can someone please supply the correct parameters for full user read/ write access please. Getting further! -Leezer-
