OpenOffice.org Base probelm

2009-05-14 Thread Frank Zimmermann
Hi all,

I'm having trouble opening a HSQL-DB (created with OOo 3.0) in OOo 3.1
The error message goes like this:
The connection to the data source "Buch-Datenbank" could not be established.
SQL Status: HY000
The connection to the external data source could not be established. No
SDBC driver was found for the given URL.
A connection for the following URL was requested: sdbc:embedded:hsqldb

aptitude search sdbc
reveals only the following
openoffice.org-sdbc-postgresql

which I guess is useless since it is not a Postgre-DB.

Anybody an idea what package I might need or where else the problem lies.
I'm running sid with the following:
aptitude search openoffice | grep ^i
i   hunspell
i   hunspell-de-de
i   hunspell-de-med
i   libhunspell-1.2-0

wireless connection issues

2010-05-12 Thread Frank Zimmermann

Hi guys,

I'm having some headaches with our WLAN. We're going online with 2 
laptops, that means we try. We do have the following setup:


The router is a Speedport W 303V and we do have the folloeing laptops:
Asus M6N, Intel ipw2100 driver, Debian/sid with wicd
Acer Aspire 5680, Atheros AR2413 with the ath5k driver, Ubuntu 8.10 with 
network manager


When my wife is online with her Acer/Ubuntu system I cannot connect with 
my Asus/Debian machine. The wireless network is detected but I do not 
get an IP address.This is from the wicd.log file:

No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
DHCP connection failed
exiting connection thread
Sending connection attempt result dhcp_failed

It does work the other way round though!


Any ideas on where to look?

THX Frank

Can you access that router from your wife's box (Ubuntu 8.10 with network
manager) and have a look at the dhcp logs?  Something (client maybe) may
be eating up all available ip-addresses.  Or there's a buggy dhcp-server
on your router.  It's, not at all, an unusual scenario :(



I can access the router and it only says:
sending OFFER to 192...




wicd is _the_ better choice, IMNSHO.  wicd should be available on ubuntu.
If it's not available on 8.10, you may consider upgrading your wife's box
to a more recent ubuntu vesion.



OK I was thinking to update to 10.4 anyway. Just wanted to wait if 
there'll pop up some serious bugs. I'll take this opportunity to switch 
to wicd and hope she wont realise;-)

Good morning,

I read that you are using a Speedport router. Are you trying to use an
encrypted connection? I used a Speedport router for some time. In it's
standard configuration, it tried to use an encrypted connection
switching between the WPA and WEP protocol every few seconds. This was
inteded to enhance security, but my debian laptop did not work with that.

Best regards

Yes I do use an WPA2 encrypted connection.How did you solve it?

Or just _upgrade_ to karmic (9.10) for the time being, unless you're brave

I'll do  a reinstall. I'll have to change the partitioning anyway. The 
installer made a too small swap, so suspend to disk is not working.

Should be quite transparent, but not _that_ transparent to skip
configuration.



I don't think she'll realise:-)

Anyway, I think I found the problem but have no solution so far. My 
ipw2100 speaks only IEEE 802.11b, while the Atheros chipset does b and 
g. I can configure the router to use b+g+n, b+g or g+n. Somy guess is 
that when my wife goes online first the router sets up a 802.11g WLAN 
and therefore my wireles card is not able to communicate with the router 
properly. The other way round since a 802.11b WLAN is initiated.


I'll have to look for a wa to tell my wifes machine to use only 802.11b.

I have an Asus M6800N, it's quite old now but works very well with Debian.

for my battery in /proc/acpi/battery
Asa consequence when I unplug my machine a get a message telling me that
batter power is 0%. There is BAT1 in proc but this isn'tmy battery:

Hm,

ok. Well this is the output of dmesg | grep ACPI:
http://nopaste.info/eec471c041.html
I can find only one battery reference here and this is to the obviously
missing battery slot 1, which is correct but nothing reg. BAT0.

Ok,it works with 2.23-rc6, although I cannot activate my wireless card

ATI fglrx driver on sid

2007-11-05 Thread Frank Zimmermann
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

I'm running sid on a Asus M6N with the ATI Radeon 9600. I've installed
the fglrx-driver and fglrx-kernel-src and m-a a-i fglrx did install the
3D driver. The driver is loaded on boot as shows me the lsmod | grep fglrx:
glrx1477676  3
agpgart30704  1 fglrx

But if I try an fglrxinfo I do get the following error:
fglrxinfo: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

Same error if I try e.g. to run googleearth.

Any hints?

Thanks Frank

I do not agree, i. e. Googlearth it at least 10 times faster with the
fglrx driver.

I finally found the solution. I'm running kernel 2.6.23 because 2.6.20
to 2.6.22 does not recognize my battery (a well known bug). I've jsut
booted with the Debian kernel 2.6.22 and 3D apps run well with fglrx.

Drivers for ipw2200 are in Kernel since 2.6.14, so this step should not
be needed. For me all I had to dowas copy the firmware to /lib/firmware.

I can't speak for USB WLAN but setting up wpasupplicant was really
straightforward in my machine with an Intel ipw2100.
I didn't touch the function.sh and ifupdown.sh scipts in
/etc/wpa_supplicant but the wpa_psk.conf. It looks like that:

network={
 ssid="MYSSID"
 scan_ssid=1
 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
 psk="MYPW"
}

I have the following in my /etc/interfaces
# WLAN
iface eth2 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_psk.conf
auto eth2

and it works fine.

Hotkeys on Asus M6N with sid

2008-03-14 Thread Frank Zimmermann
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I'm having some nightmares configuring my hotkeys on the Asus M6N. On
boot I get the following messages:

Asus Laptop ACPI Extras version 0.30
  M6N model detected, supported

So everything should be fine on this side. However, hotkeys refuse to
work with sid. I have the following scripts:
/etc/acpi/events/hotkey:
event=hotkey ATKD .*
action=/etc/acpi/hotkey.sh %e

and  /etc/acpi/hotkey.sh:
#!/bin/sh

case "$3" in
0032) /usr/bin/amixer set Master toggle
  ;;
0030) /usr/bin/amixer set Master 1+
  ;;
0031) /usr/bin/amixer set Master 1-
  ;;
005d) /usr/local/sbin/hotkey_wlan
  ;;

esac

For what ever reason hotkey_wlan is the only keys that's working. Here's
 the output fom /var/log/messages:

logger: /etc/acpi/hotkey.sh: hotkey ATKD 005d 
logger: /etc/acpi/hotkey.sh: hotkey ATKD 005d 0001

kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth2: link becomes ready
logger: /etc/acpi/hotkey.sh: hotkey ATKD 0030 0006

It used to work ages ago with sarge but now that I switched to sid I
don't get my hotkeys working again. Do you have any hint's i can look
at. All examples I found so far on the web are pretty similar to my attempt.

Thanks Frank

Ok,

I think I found the solution. First I've compiled a new kernel (I used
the linux-source-2.6.24 package from the sid repository) without the
deprecated asus_acpi module. Second I've installed the asus_acpid which
comes with acpi4asus: http://acpi4asus.sourceforge.net/

I adjusted the scripts to meet my needs and added some more for the
buttons on the side of the laptop and it works fine.

I will try the generic sid kernel without the asus_acpi module in my
/etc/modules some other day, maybe this will do as well.

Hi Preston,

to speed up the boot time you can have a look at insserv.

X not starting from time to time

2008-06-29 Thread Frank Zimmermann
Hi guys,
I'm having a problem with my X server at boot. I often have to reboot
once or twice since X is not starting properly and the screen goes dark.
I've posted the diff output of the log files here:
http://freenet-homepage.de/fzimbi/stuff/xorg.log.diff

To me it looks as if x startup stops after:
(II) fglrx(0): Connected Display1: LCD on internal LVDS [lvds]
(II) fglrx(0):  Display1: No EDID information from DDC.
(II) fglrx(0):  Display1: Failed to get EDID information.
(WW) fglrx(0): Only one display is connnected,so single mode is enabled

I'm running sid on an Asus M6N with latest kernel selfcompiled kernel
based on 2.6.25-g sources, proprietary fglrx 8.50.3 and xorg-server
2:1.4.2-1

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Thanks Frank

laptop-mode-tools

2008-07-03 Thread Frank Zimmermann
Hi guys,

I'm trying to get the laptop-mode-tools working. I've the following
lines in my /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/auto-hibernate.conf

HIBERNATE_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/hibernate
AUTO_HIBERNATION_BATTERY_CHARGE_PERCENT=4
AUTO_HIBERNATION_ON_CRITICAL_BATTERY_LEVEL=1

With this my PC is hibernating randomly which is very annoying. I
haven't detected a system in when its hibernating but definitely the
battery level is not critical when it does so.

Any hints?

Thanks Frank
