Thanks for the script. I haven't tried involving suspend yet. I just installed
a mixer application and it helped me discover a few things:
- if I get no sound try ajusting the mixer volume, sound returns
- I can also try to move the volume bar in XMMS and sound usually comes back to

I find this very strange...

You might have a S3 Savage graphics-adapter (Virge). I got this one in
my Toshiba.

Take a look on http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html and look for a
enviroment variable named SAL_DO_NOT_USE_INVERT50. Has to get the value
"true".

For OpenOffice this has to be done too.

...and that's all Martin Sk?tt wrote I'm afraid

Yup, I have the same problem on a desktop.  I haven't upgraded the kernel from
2.2r3 yet, but other than that I'm on testing.  I think it may be a combination
of the XFree version and card driver (I'm on the Savage4 driver).
Unfortunately I don't have a solution yet - other than perhaps downgrading
XFree, installing, and then upgrading again!  It works fine on my laptop (Dell
Latitude C600) running exactly the same setup but with the Rage Mobilty
graphics driver.  Oh, and mine is a local install, not an XFS one (well a
network install to a local drive).

pcmcia soundcard needed

2001-09-03 Thread Robert Waldner

Hi!

I´ll be getting an old 486/40-notebook in the near future which I´d 
 like to recycle as an mp3-player for my stereo.

Now, obviously, since the box doesn´t have sound built-in, I´ll need a 
 pcmcia-soundcard. Does anyone round here
- know of one
- is running it successfully w/ debian?

cheers+tia,

That is exactly my problem. I have to keep that variable set all time since
it is also needed for normal StarOffice operation. A quich script solved that

Re: pcmcia soundcard needed

2001-09-03 Thread Rolf Heckemann
Hi

I don't think you will have any joy with this project.  First of all,
PCMCIA soundcards are not supported by the pcmcia-source package
(according to SUPPORTED.CARDS), second, your CPU is too slow to play
MP3's in software, at least at sensible bitrates -- unless you use
DOS, in which case the situation may be different, but I don't know.

You might find it interesting that the German magazine c't ran a
couple of articles about building a hardware MP3 decoder that receives
its data via parallel port, for which you need no more than a 286 and
no soundcard.  The issue numbers are 9 and 10/1999.

Good luck

Rolf

AFAIK there are not much PCMCIA sound cards available, there is
at least one entry in my PCMCIA database:
http://mobilix.org/pcmcia_linux.html
There is also a program, which produces sound trough /dev/speakers
but of course with bad quality, see the sound chapter of
the Linux Mobile Guide

Please let me know your experiences, solutions to put it
into the LMG.

Problems with SMC EZ 10/100 Cardbus Card

2001-09-03 Thread Michael Thaler
Hello,

I am using debian unstable with kernel 2.4.8 and pcmcia-cs 3.1.28-2 which i 
compiled myself with debian/rule binary-modules. I am not using the 
Kernel-modules. PCMCIA is working fine with my 10 mbit NE2000 compatible noname 
ethernet card. 

When I try to use my SMC EZ Cardbus 10/100 card , everything seems fine. I get 
two high beeps when I insert the card which seems to indicate that the card 
works fine. I get the following messages: 

cs: memory probe 0xa000-0xa0ff: clean.

insert my EZ 10/100 Cardbus card I get this output. The card is a SMC3034TX and 
I am Using a Sony VAIO 212F.

Everything looks fine but when I try to ping another computer on the network it 
does not work, even though it works with my other card. The network is o.k. 

I looked with google for my card and I found some documents that descibe that 
there are some problems with this card, but I did not understand how the people 
fixed these problems. The card works fine with Win2000 so I think there is a 
problem with the pcmcia-cs drivers. I would greatly appretiate any help or any 
hints how I can track down the problem (but I am not a programmer).

Removing the CD

2001-09-03 Thread Paul Tansom
OK, this may be simple and I'm missing something basic - I hope so! - but how
do you get the CDROM mounted when you insert it after you have booted without
it?  I have a Dell Latitude C600 and the BIOS recognises makes the CDROM
available automatically, but I cannot mount it because hdc (where it usually
sits) is not a valid block device.  If I boot then remove and replace it all
works fine.  It's basic, I'm confinced I'm missing something basic

Unable to handle kernel paging -message

Stack and Call Trace has many addresses which I did not write to this because 
my lazyness. Code also has some hex values.

So the question is, what's wrong with my machine? It can't be a hard drive 
because I tested with a brand new drive and I get the same error message. So is 
it a memory related problem? How can I test a memory with a machine that have 
not a floppy drive? Or where's the problem?

Computer has 32MB memory and PCMCIA ethernet card. It's running Potato. Problem 
rose to my attention about a month ago. X just hung up. Sometimes it boots 
normaly and you could use it normaly until it just hungs without any warning.

Good question.  I have a Dell Lattitude CPx and I've run into
this too.  I have not figured out how to mount it yet.  

Some things I've tried:

insmod ide-cd
insmod cdrom(this should show that it's using ide-cd)

cd /proc/ide
drivers should show one for the cdrom, e.g. ide-cdrom version
4.58, and there should be a dir for ide1 with valid info in it.

I remember that /proc/devices didn't show device "22 ide1" and I
couldn't figure out how to add it.

I've been able to load the modules, but the /proc info was not
coming up, so mounting wouldn't work.

Once booting with the cdrom inserted, I can remove and replace as
much as I like, so I try not to reboot without the cdrom
inserted...which isn't a big deal since I haven't rebooted my
laptop in over 3 months [Man I love Debian!]

problem with networking cropped up after upgrading to sid

2001-09-03 Thread TShrew
I don't know if the problem occurred with something in the upgrade, but since I 
could upgrade to sid from potato (installed from CD) via 
ftp, the problem was not present before the upgrade.  Since this hasn't 
happened on any of my desktop computers, I can only assume it 
has something to do with the laptop.

The laptop:
Dell Inspiron 8000: Xircom pcmcia nic

The problem:
I cannot access my gateway computer nor can it access my laptop, but I can 
access the other computers on my lan.  
Running "ifconfig" reveals a device listed which I have never seen before, 
"tap0", assigned the IP address of my gateway computer.  I 
have tried marking it down, but something on the laptop still thinks a local IP 
is the same as my gateway IP even with tap0 down.  I have 
checked /etc/networks/interfaces, /etc/pcmcia/network.opts, /etc/resolv.conf, 
/etc/hosts, and everything else I could think of that could be 
defining tap0 and/or convincing the laptop he is, in addition to his own IP, 
the IP of my gateway. 

Thank you in advance.  I have found the archive for this list very helpful in 
setting up this laptop but didn't see anything like this (or just 
searched on the wrong thing)

-TShrew




Re: problem with networking cropped up after upgrading to sid

2001-09-03 Thread Rolf Heckemann
/dev/tap0 is the node for accessing the kernel ethertap driver.  It is
used by some programs such as diald.  If you have something like that
installed, it will probably autoload the kernel module ethertap.o on
bootup.  You can probably find out when it gets loaded by looking at
/var/log/syslog or 'dmesg | less'.  Then just remove the program that
causes ethertap to be loaded, and see whether your routing problem
goes away.

Very sketchy, but I hope it helps you anyway.

This sounds very much like a hardware problem.  If you can't boot from
a floppy, you can install the memtest kernel
(http://www.memtest86.com/) in a partition and try to boot it via LILO
or grub.

Good luck

could we take a look at:
/etc/fstab
and
possibly relevant output from dmesg?
that might help debug the issue.

I'm unsure howevr to fix it however I would 'apt-get install pcmcia-cs'
and then 'dpkg --remove pcmcia-cs' straight afterwards.  This leaves in
all the scripts etc, this is where I think the problem is, howver I could
be wrong :)

Very Selective upgrade

2001-09-03 Thread Tom Allison
Can someone give me an example of how I would upgrade a specific 
package from 'testing' without affecting any of the apt-get libraries?
If I change the sources.list to include 'testing' then I get all 
kinds of files selected for upgrade.  I really don't want to move 
anything out of 'stable' right now as I've tried repeated upgrades 
and they all result in a horrific system failure.
I've got 'stable' installed, but I want to include the 'testing' 
version of openSSH...

Nothing to do with laptops, but ...  You can use sources.list to
include testing and invoke apt-get with a '-t stable' option or add
the following to /etc/apt/apt.conf

  APT::Default-Release "testing";

Err, that is in testing you can, don't know 'bout stable.  You could
always just grab the deb and use `dpkg -i' to install.  May need to
upgrade a few libraries as well, though, so generally apt-get would be
more painless.

Don't do what I did and just install the testing deb.  Heather told me the
way to do it was to build my own deb from the source code and she was
right!  What a learning experience I had, it worked for a while, but then
I got adventurous and tried to install more.  The libc updated and broke
many of the old packages.

Now I just run testing which is stable enough for me.  I do web
development on my machine.  If I'm in the midst of a project I don't do
any updates on the off chance something I'm using may break.

Others can tell you the exact steps (I've never done it), but the summary
is use apt-get to get the non-compiled SOURCE code of the testing package
you want to install, build your own deb for your machine and install that.

Re: Trouble with X 4.0.3 on IBM T22 (kernel 2.4.5)

2001-09-03 Thread Brendan O'Connor
Hello!  I just saw this thread on the archives, and wanted to comment.

Martin:
I own a T22 with the S3 Savage and had the same problem with the weird 
interlaced blue lines... It seems to happen only with 24 bit color, though -- 
16 bit is fine.

Martin Schwenke:
Thanks for the 1400x1050 modeline!

As for apm issues, I'm running 2.4.6 and don't have the network problems, but 
I _do_ get corrupted sound whenever I unplug or plug in the machine.  I think 
this is due to speedstep changing the speed of the processor if I restart 
artsd (or if i'm not in kde, restarting alsa) then the problem is fixed.

Sometimes the cs46xx driver fails to load at bootup (gets a AC 97 read error, 
this seems to be a documented bug based on some bits of stuff I read off the 
alsa site), but this now only happens when I boot into linux directly after 
shutting down out of windows i also read it may be related to PCI power 
saving stuff in the bios, anyone have any experience?

Thanks!

Thanks for the script. I haven't tried involving suspend yet. I just installed
a mixer application and it helped me discover a few things:
- if I get no sound try ajusting the mixer volume, sound returns
- I can also try to move the volume bar in XMMS and sound usually comes back to

I find this very strange...

You might have a S3 Savage graphics-adapter (Virge). I got this one in
my Toshiba.

Take a look on http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html and look for a
enviroment variable named SAL_DO_NOT_USE_INVERT50. Has to get the value
"true".

For OpenOffice this has to be done too.

Yup, I have the same problem on a desktop.  I haven't upgraded the kernel from
2.2r3 yet, but other than that I'm on testing.  I think it may be a combination
of the XFree version and card driver (I'm on the Savage4 driver).
Unfortunately I don't have a solution yet - other than perhaps downgrading
XFree, installing, and then upgrading again!  It works fine on my laptop (Dell
Latitude C600) running exactly the same setup but with the Rage Mobilty
graphics driver.  Oh, and mine is a local install, not an XFS one (well a
network install to a local drive).

pcmcia soundcard needed

2001-09-03 Thread Robert Waldner


Hi!

I´ll be getting an old 486/40-notebook in the near future which I´d 
 like to recycle as an mp3-player for my stereo.

Now, obviously, since the box doesn´t have sound built-in, I´ll need a 
 pcmcia-soundcard. Does anyone round here
- know of one
- is running it successfully w/ debian?

That is exactly my problem. I have to keep that variable set all time since

Re: pcmcia soundcard needed

2001-09-03 Thread Rolf Heckemann

Hi

I don't think you will have any joy with this project.  First of all,
PCMCIA soundcards are not supported by the pcmcia-source package
(according to SUPPORTED.CARDS), second, your CPU is too slow to play
MP3's in software, at least at sensible bitrates -- unless you use
DOS, in which case the situation may be different, but I don't know.

You might find it interesting that the German magazine c't ran a
couple of articles about building a hardware MP3 decoder that receives
its data via parallel port, for which you need no more than a 286 and
no soundcard.  The issue numbers are 9 and 10/1999.

Good luck

Rolf

AFAIK there are not much PCMCIA sound cards available, there is
at least one entry in my PCMCIA database:
http://mobilix.org/pcmcia_linux.html
There is also a program, which produces sound trough /dev/speakers
but of course with bad quality, see the sound chapter of
the Linux Mobile Guide

Please let me know your experiences, solutions to put it

Problems with SMC EZ 10/100 Cardbus Card

2001-09-03 Thread Michael Thaler

Hello,

I am using debian unstable with kernel 2.4.8 and pcmcia-cs 3.1.28-2 which i compiled 
myself with debian/rule binary-modules. I am not using the Kernel-modules. PCMCIA is 
working fine with my 10 mbit NE2000 compatible noname ethernet card. 

When I try to use my SMC EZ Cardbus 10/100 card , everything seems fine. I get two 
high beeps when I insert the card which seems to indicate that the card works fine. I 
get the following messages:

Everything looks fine but when I try to ping another computer on the network it does 
not work, even though it works with my other card. The network is o.k. 

I looked with google for my card and I found some documents that descibe that there 
are some problems with this card, but I did not understand how the people fixed these 
problems. The card works fine with Win2000 so I think there is a problem with the 
pcmcia-cs drivers. I would greatly appretiate any help or any hints how I can track 
down the problem (but I am not a programmer).

Or where's the problem?

Computer has 32MB memory and PCMCIA ethernet card. It's running Potato. Problem rose

Good question.  I have a Dell Lattitude CPx and I've run into
this too.  I have not figured out how to mount it yet.  

Some things I've tried:

insmod ide-cd
insmod cdrom(this should show that it's using ide-cd)

cd /proc/ide
drivers should show one for the cdrom, e.g. ide-cdrom version
4.58, and there should be a dir for ide1 with valid info in it.

I remember that /proc/devices didn't show device "22 ide1" and I
couldn't figure out how to add it.

I've been able to load the modules, but the /proc info was not
coming up, so mounting wouldn't work.

Once booting with the cdrom inserted, I can remove and replace as
much as I like, so I try not to reboot without the cdrom
inserted...which isn't a big deal since I haven't rebooted my
laptop in over 3 months [Man I love Debian!]

problem with networking cropped up after upgrading to sid

2001-09-03 Thread TShrew

I don't know if the problem occurred with something in the upgrade, but since I could 
upgrade to sid from potato (installed from CD) via 
ftp, the problem was not present before the upgrade.  Since this hasn't happened on 
any of my desktop computers, I can only assume it 
has something to do with the laptop.

The laptop:
Dell Inspiron 8000: Xircom pcmcia nic

The problem:
I cannot access my gateway computer nor can it access my laptop, but I can access the 
other computers on my lan.  
Running "ifconfig" reveals a device listed which I have never seen before, "tap0", 
assigned the IP address of my gateway computer.  I 
have tried marking it down, but something on the laptop still thinks a local IP is the 
same as my gateway IP even with tap0 down.  I have 
checked /etc/networks/interfaces, /etc/pcmcia/network.opts, /etc/resolv.conf, 
/etc/hosts, and everything else I could think of that could be 
defining tap0 and/or convincing the laptop he is, in addition to his own IP, the IP of 
my gateway. 

Thank you in advance.  I have found the archive for this list very helpful in setting 
up this laptop but didn't see anything like this (or just 
searched on the wrong thing)

Re: problem with networking cropped up after upgrading to sid

2001-09-03 Thread Rolf Heckemann

/dev/tap0 is the node for accessing the kernel ethertap driver.  It is
used by some programs such as diald.  If you have something like that
installed, it will probably autoload the kernel module ethertap.o on
bootup.  You can probably find out when it gets loaded by looking at
/var/log/syslog or 'dmesg | less'.  Then just remove the program that
causes ethertap to be loaded, and see whether your routing problem
goes away.

Very sketchy, but I hope it helps you anyway.

2001-09-03 Thread Rolf Heckemann

This sounds very much like a hardware problem.  If you can't boot from
a floppy, you can install the memtest kernel
(http://www.memtest86.com/) in a partition and try to boot it via LILO
or grub.

Good luck

Rolf

could we take a look at:
/etc/fstab
and
possibly relevant output from dmesg?
that might help debug the issue.

card the instant it loads up!

I'm unsure howevr to fix it however I would 'apt-get install pcmcia-cs'
and then 'dpkg --remove pcmcia-cs' straight afterwards.  This leaves in
all the scripts etc, this is where I think the problem is, howver I could
be wrong :)

Very Selective upgrade

2001-09-03 Thread Tom Allison

Can someone give me an example of how I would upgrade a specific 
package from 'testing' without affecting any of the apt-get libraries?
If I change the sources.list to include 'testing' then I get all 
kinds of files selected for upgrade.  I really don't want to move 
anything out of 'stable' right now as I've tried repeated upgrades 
and they all result in a horrific system failure.
I've got 'stable' installed, but I want to include the 'testing' 
version of openSSH...

Don't do what I did and just install the testing deb.  Heather told me the
way to do it was to build my own deb from the source code and she was
right!  What a learning experience I had, it worked for a while, but then
I got adventurous and tried to install more.  The libc updated and broke
many of the old packages.

Now I just run testing which is stable enough for me.  I do web
development on my machine.  If I'm in the midst of a project I don't do
any updates on the off chance something I'm using may break.

Others can tell you the exact steps (I've never done it), but the summary
is use apt-get to get the non-compiled SOURCE code of the testing package
you want to install, build your own deb for your machine and install that.

Re: Trouble with X 4.0.3 on IBM T22 (kernel 2.4.5)

2001-09-03 Thread Brendan O'Connor

Hello!  I just saw this thread on the archives, and wanted to comment.

Martin:
I own a T22 with the S3 Savage and had the same problem with the weird 
interlaced blue lines... It seems to happen only with 24 bit color, though -- 
16 bit is fine.

Martin Schwenke:
Thanks for the 1400x1050 modeline!

As for apm issues, I'm running 2.4.6 and don't have the network problems, but 
I _do_ get corrupted sound whenever I unplug or plug in the machine.  I think 
this is due to speedstep changing the speed of the processor if I restart 
artsd (or if i'm not in kde, restarting alsa) then the problem is fixed.

Sometimes the cs46xx driver fails to load at bootup (gets a AC 97 read error, 
this seems to be a documented bug based on some bits of stuff I read off the 
alsa site), but this now only happens when I boot into linux directly after 
shutting down out of windows i also read it may be related to PCI power 
saving stuff in the bios, anyone have any experience?

Thanks!

Nothing to do with laptops, but ...  You can use sources.list to
include testing and invoke apt-get with a '-t stable' option or add
the following to /etc/apt/apt.conf

  APT::Default-Release "testing";

Err, that is in testing you can, don't know 'bout stable.  You could
always just grab the deb and use `dpkg -i' to install.  May need to
upgrade a few libraries as well, though, so generally apt-get would be
more painless.

The last four lines are only there because I ejected after trying to
ping another host. I don't think there is something wrong with the
pcmcia-package in general

I don't understand what you are suggesting here. Why should it help to
install and remove the pcmcia-cs package? But thanks anyway!

CU, Michael
