Hey all,

After a brief hiatus I'm back with #!

Here's all three desktops from my laptop.

1: The latest and greatest #!
2: Fedora 16 with gnome 3.2
3: Some obscure and rarely used OS that came with the lappy.

You gotta love choices.

Cheers,

Yeah, it seems by default using that driver assigns eth1 to the chip.

I've not noticed any problem or issues with it though.

*edit* My iwconfig output is identical to yours too.

Have you tried the nuclear option?

Good old dd

I had a pretty much identical problem with a stick and ended up using...

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX

(Replace the X with whatever the stick is on your system)

This will zero write the entire drive wiping everything and then (hopefully) you should be able to create a new partition table and file system.

Just be VERY sure of the dd command before you hit enter as if you mix up the if and of or point it to the wrong partition it WILL eat your system.

Looks like Omploader itself is down.

Are you just trying to connect via ssh?

If that's the case then I'd simply ssh into the desktop and then ssh from there into the server.
(Edit: I'd strongly recommend changing the port number used for ssh to something unused higher up the range and it'll need to be forwarded to the machine in question on your router.)

If you need any other services then I'd recommend setting up a dyndns account for the server and forward the ports you need directly to it.

I stumbled across this a little while ago.

Couldn't get it out of my head and ended up buying the album from his site.

It's pretty much been on  repeat ever since.

Awesome talent.

My problem wasn't exactly the same as yours but my solution may help.

I have a set of external USB speakers permanently plugged into my laptop but was having a hell of a job getting them set as the default sound device.

I followed some advice to create up a .asoundrc file but the sound cards would randomly switch between the two when I booted.

The solution I stumbled on was to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsabase.conf

The last line was...

options snd-usb-audio index=-2

Which I edited to

options snd-usb-audio index=0

and added a line underneath

options snd-hda-intel index=-2

From what I can see the index=-2 part stops the quoted device from being selected as the primary card.

If you know the device names then hopefully you will be able to apply this to your setup.

Yes please, if it's not too much trouble.

I too hadn't come across this bug until I found this topic and thought I'd try it.

I didn't realise it'd kill X and take me all the way back to the GDM screen.

Good thing I'd decided to save the files I was working on first.

If you installed the nvidia drivers from the nvidia site I'm assuming you

sudo sh NVIDIA-XXXXXX

from runlevel 3?

If so then you should be able to boot to runlevel 3 again, cd to the folder it's in and run

sh NVIDIA-XXXXX --uninstall

to remove the driver.

Then hopefully you should be able to

sudo nano /etc/mopbrobe.d/blacklist.conf

and remove the entry for nouveau and reboot.

*edit*

You'll need to remove the /etc/xorg.conf generated by nvidia-xconfig too.

*Deleted due to cross post providing the info.*

Hi SnaveZ,

Have you created an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11?

I had to run

sudo nvidia-xconfig

To create the file before my machine would display the correct resolution.
