"binks" when using newer kerels
Hi all, I am using Mandriva 2008.1 (yes, the old one) and decided to upgrade my kernel. I tested 2.6.29 and 2.6.30 (git, from Linus branch) nad under both I get random "blinks" in the screen. It's like the screen gets shut down for 100-200 msec, and then continues on working. The machine is a Lenovo 3000 N100, with an Intel 945 video card. Before I start hunting for this bug... as anyone seen it, something similar... or has an idea? - diego ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

I'm almost sure it's because of the latest changes in Intel drivers related to KMS (kernel-mode-setting). Few months ago the situation was much worse (for me), with random freezes on KDE (switched temporarily to GNOME). Now I get similar "flickers" only briefly during login (probably because of resolution changes etc.) You should use these drivers with up to date Xorg+drivers, otherwise your chances are slim. Fedora 10, HP DV-4000, with Intel-915GM (I think, it's not in front of me now). Cheer up, it should be OK soon (X.org-1.6 should be around the corner). -- Oron Peled Voice: +972-4-8228492 o...@actcom.co.il http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron Life is a sexually transmitted, 100% lethal disease. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Hmm... I am typing this on Fedora 10, Lenovo X200, with Intel 915 (well, lspci says 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) and the i915 module is loaded, Xorg loads "intel" driver, so I gather it *is* actually Intel 915) and I do not experience any "blinks" or "flicker" or anything unusual. xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.3-15.fc10.x86_64 Linux 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64 x86_64 What am I doing wrong? ;-) Well, I've had this computer for maybe 3 months, so maybe I have only used fairly recent SW... -- Oleg Goldshmidt | p...@goldshmidt.org ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: "binks" when using newer kernels
Now it's even funier... X really locked up. All the display was just shut down... even good old terminals were gone. If I understand correcttly I need also to upgrade Xorg... will it work with the old "official" kernel? or are xorg+linux bundeled together? I just heard that EXT4 is stable in 2.6.30... but no distro still uses that kernel by default. As Xorg 1.6 should come "soon", all I can think of is "all distros are messed up right now, wait". No upgrade for me it seems. PS: Yes, your machine has 915G. Still having all those passwords which prevent you from working after you go doing #1? ;-) On Friday 29 May 2009 22:24:04 Oron Peled wrote: > On 29.05.2009 Diego Iastrubni wrote: > > I am using Mandriva 2008.1 (yes, the old one) and decided to upgrade my > > kernel.

Re: Internet Customer Service
Hi. Almost not entirely off-topic, I would like to show you the Cables/L2TP configuration script. Currently it fits only Ubuntu Linux, but would support further Linux distros, as soon as I get some feedback from users. I want to bring this configurator to your attention, as it should do the following: 1. Ease the L2TP configuration step for technically capable Linux users (they could have done that themselves, but it saves time) 2. Allow non-technical Linux users, or people who are members of the general public (and they can have Internet connection, and Linux, right?) to connect to Cables in Israel. My dream for this script is for it to be available from HOT site for the benefit of all Linux cable users. I need more testers. I don't think that "it works fine for me" is, by any means, sufficient. http://run.tournament.org.il/cables-connection-in-israel-for-linux/ Feel free to comment in the page directly, or post here (although I tend to check this mailing list less often...)

I'm so excited I had to tell everyone :) It appears that someone somewhere is listening to what we need, and doing something about it. This morning I had a local customer who is not technically inclined enough to set up their own VoIP router, so I went over there to do it for them. They are an older couple with an older PC and no real idea how it all works. Their adult son had set them up and is out of the country at the moment. So I went there, together we phoned their ISP, 012, to tell them we were installing a new router. The tech on their end said to set the router to "Obtain IP address automatically", and call HOT with the confirmation number they gave us, in order to change to an account that doesn't need a dialer. We phoned HOT, gave them the confirmation number, and it just worked. This is a HUGE change from a few years ago, when I had to call and explain to the customer service rep what I wanted to do, who couldn't imagine why anyone would need an account without a dialer. Then I had to wait a week for HOT to set up MPLS, and spend hours and hours on the phone with level after level of customer support and technicians to make sure it actually got done. Israel has entered the modern age! Yay! I realize this isn't directly linux-related, but it's certainly relevant to those of us not running windows and our ability to get what we need from the service providers who've locked us out in the past. --sambo ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: Connecting to the Internet via Bluetooth and Orange (Partner) Cellular Network
Hi.
I have documented the process of making this setup work a while back.
http://run.tournament.org.il/dial-up-in-israel-through-orange-3g/
There are several links from there to an advanced (and somewhat better)
method of connecting. All methods relay on this one.

Sorry - no go...
Only Mass Storage mode works. Nothing happens on other modes.
I have a Nokia E71, which has a special USB mode - Connect PC to web -
which, on a Windows PC, would bring up a virtual CD-ROM containg the
GSM Modem driver to be installed in Windows...
Is there a config file somewhere I should edit so my phone gets recognized?
I manually added Orange as a Mobile Broadband network - but I can't
find the Connect button anywhere...
Any ides?
Thanks!

when you plug your phone you should chose "pc suite", ubuntu will alert

than, right click on the connection manager and choose "edit connections",

Thanks guys, for that.
I agree it isn't a good idea to use the Bluetooth method...
Can you tell me what do I have to do to make this work with the USB cable?
Thanks!

But I'm guessing that you will have to do that:
1. hcitool scan - to find your cellular Mac address
2. sdptool browse Mac_Address - check the Dialup Networking for "channel
number"
3. sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf
create a new BT object:
rfcomm0 {
bind yes;
device MAC_ADDRESS;
channel CHANNEL;
comment "nokia ppp";
}
well, thats the first steps, than you should try to connect to your
nokia, I
think you should select "pc Suite" in order to connect to the Internet.

I have the Mobile Broadband tab in the Network preferences, and I add

What's the next step?
Any of you got this to work?
