ACK, cross-posted there as well. As the question does no longer
seem Debian-specific, I've also dropped news:alt.os.linux.debian... more »

Does bluetooth Autodetect like WiFi?
|
| |
My HP-netbook running Win7, shows when any other WiFi
connection is accessible nearby. This allows me to confirm
that it's working.
How would I confirm that the Bluetooth facility is working?
If I found somebody with a bluetooth capable mobile, should
my netbook automatically be able to detect it?... more »

Bluetooth dongle test?
|
| |
Previously I bought a Win7-netbook, just because I wrongly
believed that my wireless-phone could not be driven from linux.
Few people know *HOW* devices work [in terms of voltage transitions
that you can see with an oscilloscope] they just know: klikA,klikB,klikC
'worked for me'. Let's analyse this from an electrical engineer's view:... more »

bios flash under linux
|
| |
Hi,
I have an old mb that was retired while working satisfactorily about a year ago. I have tried to put it back in use recently and it is acting like it needs a bios update. I have what is supposed to be the correct software to do that under dos but the process doesn't work. Among other things the software is hardwired to use the ram drive at D: but it... more »

Seeting up bluetooth/a wiimote without a GUI
|
| |
Hello.
I'm trying to use a wiimote to control programs.
I've read about and installed cwiid, and wminput.
I can connect to the wiimote with wminput, but I'd like to set up
something that does not need a GUI: typically, I put the wiimote in
discovery mode (1+2), then I start a script that establishes the... more »

HDMI sound on GeForce 8400GS
|
| |
I suppose I could test this by installing XP on a hard drive to see what XP does with it...
Does anyone know if the PNY VCG84512D3SPPB video card will produce sound on the monitor when connected via an HDMI cable?
It does not for me when the proprietary NVIDIA 290.10 drivers are loaded, but I wonder if that's because I've messed up.... more »

hostraid on linux

Hello I ve been using the 2405 adaptec adapter on all my server but I
am considering a cheaper adapter to use on my servers. I installed
linux on an old hp server that has an adaptec 8130 hostraid adapter
and to my surprise it worked. I set it up as raid 0 and I was able to
use the stripe on centos 5. Are there any other hostraid adapters that... more »

Ubuntu 10.10 - can't change monitor resolution
|
| |
Last week I got my wife a new laptop. It came with Windows 7; I tried
to live with it, but after a few days I got so infuriated that I wiped
it and installed Ubuntu 10.10. The exorcism went fairly smoothly, once
I tweaked the BIOS to look at the DVD-ROM first instead of the hard
disk.
However, I noticed that the display was distorted. It's the... more »

hd malfunction
|
| |
Hi,
An old pc bit the dust when after it was not used for a couple of months the hard drive failed. In fooling with the thing I found that I could not tell if the disk was spinning or not. Is there a simple way to do that?
Thanks, jwc
