Driver Questions NetMos.

Reg Clemens — 2008-12-02T03:15:16

I have a new board here that CLAIMS to work with LINUX, but I have yet to see what drivers to use with it. The first is a 4port serial board by SYBA, lspci identifies it as Serial Controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9845 Multi-I/O Controller (rev01) I see this string in ./pci/quirks.c: case PCI_DEVICE_ID_NETMOS_9845: when grepping the sources, so expect that its part of some generic driver, but havent found that. If I have a generic kernel, should the driver be loaded automagically? And if so, how can I tell, without more info I cant tell where/what devices are going to be created for the 4ports on this device? Any help in getting me started with this card would be appreciated.

Re: KDE in F10

Arthur Pemberton — 2008-12-02T03:04:06

Not intentionally. KDE supports themes (as you may know) many Vista like themes for KDE existed before Vista. However, there are some good and bad things which KDE and Vista share in terms of interface, there is no reason to believe that this intentional. And if you have an arguement against a UI feature which you feel is in the wrong, I believe you can find an listening audience. The fact that it seems that KDE looks like Vista is more a symptom with many people greater familiarity with Microsoft Windows than with KDE. Also, it is somewhat incorrect to say that KDE has a look at it can really look like anything you want it to. For example, I am not sure that KDE in Fedora looks like KDE if you compiled for vanilla sources. At least in KDE 3.5 it didn't. This is (now?) accomplished through Compiz, and is very much available in Fedora. it however works much better with Gnome than KDE. I do believe is supports as many desktops as there are faces on a cube, so I would say yes. I am subject to correction here. KDE 4 does not attempt to work with Compiz, but instead extending its own capabilities to provide this features naively. Peace

Dario Nievas — 2008-12-02T02:51:52

Could you try installing from a live usb? It worked like a charm for me, and I'm sure it will also work for you This link really really helped me. http://jorge.ulver.no/2008/11/10/fedora-10-on-the-acer-aspire-one/ It has instructions to install F10 from a usb stick into an Acer One. If you follow this guys instructions it will work for your 701 as well. It's not necessary to perform the installation with LVM though, you can skip that and install it on an old fashion ext2 partition (Careful, the installer installs as ext3 anyway, so you have to do as stated on this blog to turn it back to ext2, no big deal).

lanas — 2008-12-02T02:48:55

I haven't looked really at Vista but saw briefly a screen here and there. ... Is KDE in F10 trying to look like the Vista user interface by any chance ? On a related subject, is 'the cube' ('twas called Beryl last time I tried) available on F10 and does it now supports all faces of a cube eg. 6 desktops ? Cheers.

It is better, because "ls -1" doesn't print all the junk. This wasn't meant to deal with the spaces-in-filenames problem. The IFS reset I mentioned in another post is what's needed to deal with that, isn't it? Combined with `ls -1` of course. rh

Re: script help

RGH — 2008-12-02T01:35:00

I find that "find ... -exec" is very limited. For anything more complicated than a single command, it usually seems to fail (or else I don't know how to use it properly). It'd really be nice if ls had an option to quote the output. But there is this: IFS=' '; for i in $(ls -1d *.log); do echo $i; done Note that there must be no space after the first single quote. rh

Re: script help

Gordon Messmer — 2008-12-02T01:28:21

Neither of those are reliable. If there are enough matches to require xargs, then both ls and echo will fail. xargs also doesn't care whether or not each entry is printed on its own line, so "ls -1" isn't better than "ls" with no argument.

Re: Revisor

Gordon Messmer — 2008-12-02T00:55:50

The lists were moved to revisor-users< at >lists.fedorahosted.org this afternoon. http://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/revisor-users Apparently there are issues with different versions of squashfs in new Fedora releases and CentOS 5. You can use "mock" to create a centos 5 chroot and run revisor from there, which I'm told will work. I've quoted Jeroen's more detailed directions at the end of this message. Since the move, there's already been a post to the list about problems composing Fedora 10, and I'm hoping to see a resolution. Not yet. I've been talking to the author about similar problems. For the moment, I'm just composing the install trees and then using the vmlinuz/initrd/install.img from the distribution. ------ The nasty thing between a (recent) Fedora station composing EL5 installation or live media is the version mismatch between squashfs. I very much doubt this is ever going to be solved, but you can run revisor in a mock chroot: # yum install mock $ mock -r epel-5-i386 init $ mock -r epel-5-i386 install comps-extras createrepo rhpl pykickstart \ ~ livecd-tools anaconda-runtime squashfs-tools \ ~ busybox-anaconda notify-python usermode \ ~ pam python automake intltool gettext \ ~ desktop-file-utils glib2-devel gcc \ ~ cobbler koan deltarpm pygtk pygtk2-libglade \ ~ gnome-python2-gconf system-config-kickstart jigdo \ ~ livecd-tools python-virtinst git $ mock -r epel-5-i386 shell mock-chroot> git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/revisor mock-chroot> cd revisor mock-chroot> git checkout --track -b EL-5 origin/EL-5 mock-chroot> autoreconf && ./configure mock-chroot> make install mock-chroot> revisor --cli [options] ^ This is what I'm testing now, and it seems to work.

Re: F10 NFS Install Query

Gordon Messmer — 2008-12-02T00:48:28

Chris Lumens of Red Hat indicated in bug 466992 that anacanda can *not* handle this situation any more. The change was intentional. If you have your ISOs in the same location, you can specify the location of stage2.img using the stage2= parameter. It's probably easier to just keep different architectures' isos in separate directories (along with images/install.img) though.
