| fireba11 | bzed: 2.6.18 |
| mina_linux_Tux | am i offtopic , even if am i , give me any pointer |
| bzed | Crypticfortune_: that's at least good to know. I'm wondering how that can srew with ldap fireba11: why does it want to use 2.6.17 sources then? |
| fireba11 | bzed: never said anything about 2.6.17 sources |
| bzed | mina_linux_Tux: I'd try updating to a more recent kernel version or probably switching to etch, there're a lot of buggy things regarding hotplug and usb devices fixed |
| filemover | Im trying to compile gspcav1 video driver to get my logitech quickcam 5000 working Ive enabled all the right modules in the kernel but still get errors pertaining to kbuild.include file can anyone help |
| bzed | fireba11: Makefile:486: /usr/src/linux-2.6.17/arch/i386/Makefile: No such file or directory |
| Crypticfortune_ | avahi was completely disabling my network.. (how? i don't know, because i couldn't log in). but once avahi-daemon started, i ceased to get pings from my box =p |
| rpc | fireba11 what is the exact kernel that you use? |
| fireba11 | bzed: from when is that ? ^^ |
| bzed | Crypticfortune_: you can configure your computer to use avahi for network settings. neither sure if that's the default fi you've installed that daemon or how to configure that at all fireba11: that's form your pastebin |
| fireba11 | bzed: what pastebin ? ^^ |
| bzed | fireba11: oh no, that was from filemover sorry filemover: which distro are you sing? |
| filemover | its ok |
| fireba11 | rpc : 2.6.18-3-vserver-amd64 right now |
| filemover | i installed debian on my hard drive throgh knoppix |
| bzed | fireba11: there's 2.6.18-4 out |
| filemover | i did a complete dit-upgrade dist |
| rpc | fireba11 thank you |
| bzed | filemover: you still want to ask in #knoppix, they';ve changed a lot of stuff |
| filemover | ok |
| bzed | filemover: or at least use a debian kernel |
| Crypticfortune_ | i haven't configured avahi for anything. i just left it enabled in case any mac users wanted to borrow my printers...but i'm really surprised that something would be telling avahi to use -wrong- network settings (normally my settings are from dhcp) |
| fireba11 | bzed: i know .. i need to recompile vmware modules for that, that will take a bit so i'm waiting for a good time to do that .. it's working fine right now, last crash was 3 weeks ago |
| filemover | i just thougth because its debian packages u might know some stuff but its ok |
| rpc | fireba11 so you say that you have never ever seen TSC probs in messages on that kernel? |
| mina_linux_Tux | bzed: how can i figure out the reason for the boot hanging at this step to at least give a reason in my report asking for upgrade ?, i did check the var/log/dmesg but can't get any thing related to the step of hardware initilisation |
| fireba11 | rpc: no, never |
| filemover | i used an older version of knoppix to do it so there might be some issues anyway thanks |
| rpc | fireba11 and how about such stuff? Mar 30 11:34:16 mindstorm kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out |
| bzed | mina_linux_Tux: if it hangs while loading the proprietary module nobody will be able to help you |
| rpc | fireba11 especially after some heavier traffic on br0 |
| filemover | bzed i upgraded the kernel as well does that help 2.6.17 |
