New MB opinions
by Richard 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Does anyone have any opinions (really opening up here) between the MSI K7N2Delta ILSR motherboard and the Gigabyte 7N400 Pro? Both seem to be good by reviews. I am concerned with Gigabyte raid controller, though a Gigabyte rep. says they supply a Redhat linux driver with the supplied setup disk. I have seen questions about Promise controllers (on the MSI board) but these have not seemed to be insurmountable. Gigabyte board also comes with more IDE connectors though if the MSI is really better I have an add-on board I could use with the MSI. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time. Richard

8.1 pro/cdrom/cdrw drive kde question
by Mark Lucier 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Hello list. I have some questions I hope that someone can answer. I will set up the questions and attempt to make this short. I have installed a second CD drive which happens to be a Philips 4000 series CDRW. I had experimented with scsi emulation so I could play with the CD burning programs available in KDE. After the burning application saw both drives I attempted to turn scsi emulation off and get everything back to square one. Now when I use any multimedia CD player in KDE the default drive is the Philips 4000 series drive and not my source Acer 32x. The Acer is connected to the sound card btw. Not sure what happen I'm sure I missed something along the way. Hardware info shows the cdroms as hdc (Acer) and hdd (Philips) as they should be do to the physical connection to the mobo. My questions are where does KDE or the kernel get the default cdrom drive info and can it be changed back? I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance.

checkinstall help
by Turd Ferguson 30 Jul '03

running checkinstall to make an rpm for myself and it keeps erroring telling me that there is a bad owner/group for my install directories, which I know is not the case. I have checked the /etc/checkinstallrc file and all seems well.

recommendations on server monitoring software for unix/linux/windows as well as databases (oracle, sql, etc)
by pheonix1t 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

hello, subject line says it all....I was looking around and big brother seems like a good product and not too expensive. BMC has this type of products but very $$$$. I can't afford those prices! I just need to monitor several remote sites with mail servers, databases, routers...etc. You get the picture. Thanks, Oskar ps. I've used compaq's insight manager at some sights that had all compaq machines....this worked good enough...but only works on compaqs! However, it uses too much resources on the admin. workstation. Something that has this sort of functionality but with efficient use of resources......Big Brother is the best I've found so far..

Killer link???
by Paul Cooke 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

I'm experiencing a big problem when I attempt to log in to my customer account at hands high software when I use Opera or Konqueror. The machine locks up solid... and has to be power cycled as there is no response to mouse clicks or the keyboard. The link works in Mozilla though. the link is as follows <http://www.handshigh.com/html/custlogin/index.php3> is anyone else brave enough to check it with Opera 7.11 and/or Konqueror as well to confirm whether it is a common problem or just my machine. I'm running SuSE 8.2 with all applicable patches and I think I'm using blackdown java but I'm not sure where to check this fact.

utterly hosed powermanagement
by tallison＠tacocat.net 29 Jul '03

Does anyone know how to get acpi commands mapped to keys? I have a notebook (IBM A20 thinkpad) that has always had reasonable support for APM (PCMCIA does not play well, so it's not perfect) and recently installed SuSE 8.2 Professional on it. SuSE doesn't support APM anymore. Only ACPI. My notebook reports all kinds of wonderful support for ACPI. But none of the keys work to suspend/resume/standby/sleep. Closing the lid doesn't do a thing. I've cranked up the logging on acpi and the logs don't report that anything is going on when I do these things. Any suggestions?
