Heh, glad you like it – I mean the wallpaper (el_koraco) & the hostname (Lowrider & ivanonegro)! Cheers!

Back to #!. Back to the basics.

#! wallpaper, 1024x768, but looks decent (to my eyes at least) also as tiled on a bigger screen:

Nice 2B back!

Kaboom baby!

That is to say,  I'm not the one to report the post.

EDIT: Oh dear – after seeing the video, that asteroid started looking somehow... offensive.

My brand spanking new Debian XFCE desktop. "Work" in progress.

http://ompldr.org/tYW9jeQ

I hope Casterman won't sue me for the public display of the scanned image – by Hergé.

"SEIS!" is Finnish and means "STOP!"

Sorry to say: it didn't work. The system went into deep freeze again, this time after issuing "ifup wlan0". Thanks a lot, anyway.

Thanks again – actually I'm tempted to try again, with your advice. So I will not quite yet mark this thread solved, if that's OK.

I might just give up on this issue, as regards this specific machine and its #! install.

However, I already figured out the next thing I might try...

Just a moment ago, I took home yet another old 40-euro PC to play around with (HP Compaq dc7600 SFF). The next thing I'll do might be that I replace this even older desktop (HP Compaq D51S SFF) with the "new" one and gracefully recycle this older workhorse by turning it into a headless music player... which means that I will wipe the #! install (+ the XP, of course), in order to install a minimal system with MPD, SSH and NFS, without GUI...  and see what happens if I attach the WiFi adapter before installing the system (Debian stable it shall be)... might be interesting.

I just took a look at the file –

root@knirschknall:~# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single
# line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.

# PCI device 0x8086:0x103b (e100)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0b:cd:c1:de:8a", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8185 (rtl8180)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1f:1f:65:4d:4a", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"

So there does not seem to be a conflict: on a previous try, the WiFi adapter was indeed written into this automatically created file. I don't think there is any reason to edit the file.

Does this work for you? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … ed-817819/

Thanks again – all that seems very plausible. I will try it later today.

All right, here we go – could not wait 'til tomorrow, after all – it's 23:51 here in Helsinki as I'm starting typing this.

Here's what I did:

1. Connected the PCI adapter.
2. Booted the machine into recovery mode and logged in as root.
3. Disabled network-manager and mpd.
4. Printed dmesg and lspci > dmesg.out, lspci.out
5. Continued booting (Ctrl+D).
6. Logged in as regular user and printed dmesg again > dmseg.out.0 (so now we have "dmesg before & after").
7. Enabled mpd and network-manager in view of the next boot, then started (1st mpd, then) network-manager:

# /etc/init.d/network-manager start

8. Verified instant system freeze. No raising skinny elephants, only hard reset could get me out.

Here's what you asked me to print – first dmesg.out ("before"):

Thanks a bunch – I was indeed wondering how I could prevent NM (and MPD) from starting. I will try that tomorrow – now I'll have to get some real work done, after hobby-horsing with computers for quite a few hours...

EDIT For a Linux enthusiast, the maintenance of the tools tends to get too exciting when you should actually use the tools and not just keep "adjusting" them – instead of being a nuisance, it's a distraction – and this is precisely the case, when I have a perfectly solid ethernet connection, but would like to try the wireless card that I bought quite a long while ago, not so much because I really needed one, but because it  was pretty cheap and I just might figure out some kind of "enhancement" for the home network, when I have WLAN also on one of the desktop machines... Might, for example, free the ethernet connection for a file and print server...

Well – now back to work.

Dear all,

I am having surprising problems with an Edimax wireless 802.11b/g PCI adapter that is sporting a Realtek RTL8185L chipset. The Squeeze-specific instructions here do not help that much, because if I physically install the card ("2. If not already performed, connect the device to your system"), I cannot boot #! – the system always gets stuck at starting NetworkManager, trying to get eth0 interface up and running, and there is no other option than to hard-reboot the machine (raising skinny elephants does NOT* unfreeze the system). In my dual boot system, Windows XP can handle the situation, but even though the chipset should be Linux-friendly, I can't get past NetworkManager. Whether the ethernet cable is connected or not does not make a difference. I wonder if the system interprets the card in the PCI slot as eth0, and gets confused at that point...?

I even tried to install the Linux drivers provided by Edimax in a single-user session, from a USB stick, and managed to edit the config file to the point that I was almost able to "make all", but "make" got stuck with errors that could not be fixed (no "priv" group in the system).

Any suggestions?

EDIT Hmm... maybe I'll try to connect the device again, now that I've installed wireless-tools, and try modprobe in a single-user session...

2nd Ed. No go. I was first a bit absent-minded and just let the machine boot into regular session, and it got stuck at starting MPD this time – total freeze, again. The I booted the "rescue" session and tried "modprobe rt18180", but I got the error saying that the module is unknown... I don't really know how to find out what modules are present (esp. after installing wireless-tools). However, there was a bit of a surprise this time: iwconfig showed the presence of the wlan0 interface. Yet, the PCI adapter still makes the system freeze before GDM gets started.

* 3rd Ed Corrected: I accidentally typed "does unfreeze", while I should have written "does not unfreeze".

I agree that the ISO should stay minimal – but hasn't the option to install OOo been part of the post-install greeter (or whatever it's called – I've stuck with #! so long, just upgrading, that I have never seen the newish greeter thingy) anyway? In my opinion, the ISO could be even more frugal than it is now...

  404  Not Found

Something went wrong either with your network connection or at the server side ("404 not found" is what you get also when you try to connect to a website when you're offline, I think).

... but now even Iceweasel makes (or I don't know what makes) X freeze completely. This happens intermittently when I try to watch YouTube videos. This kind of freeze is a new problem, with this two-year old laptop. So, it is either some update to the Xorg video drivers, I guess, or a broken graphics card...?

lspci says

VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]

I guess I will give a try to the proprietary driver, fglrx (until these problems, the open source driver has worked better).

Hmmm... Of course I could try and make Iceweasel crash again...

I have had two frightful freezes during the last few days, and both took place while watching flash videos on YouTube, once with Chromium, and once when I was trying out Firefox 4 (running it from my home directory, i.e. not installed). The only way out was hard shutdown – even raising skinny elephants did not help. As I told above, I went back to flashplugin-nonfree. Iceweasel seems safer, because it only crashes in the same situation.

Now I'm not sure how to provide debugging info. I don't see anything that I could interpret as related to this issue in dmesg, and Xorg.log.old obviously (?) shows nothing, after X went through a complete freeze (or am I mistaken? should I look at the Xorg.log of the post-freeze session instead?).

Unfortunately, gnash turned out as a disappointment – could not view this site's Flash content, for example – and I had to switch back to flashplugin-nonfree. Also, the sound in YouTube flash videos cut a lot with gnash: each time my mouse pointer hovered over a link on the page, for example, the sound of the currently running video was muted for a split second.

Getting closer, by and by.

Piraja said that he didn't use software that wasn't open-source so I was just wondering

Obviously, that's not quite true, since I've been using e.g. flashplugin-nonfree; but, taking heed of omns's suggestion, I have now replaced it with gnash. Just a moment ago, though.

omns wrote:

I'm not having any youtube problems with iceweasel and gnash - the opensource flash plugin.

Thanks for the tip – I shall give gnash a spin.
