missing library 1 42 (12/31/2005 10:01:23 PM) comp.os.linux.misc I was trying to compile gtk+ and friends the othe night (never finished -- too many dependencies), and now a few things won't run. They all give errors similar to this: [eben@pc eben]$ gaim ** ERROR **: Gdk... ebenONE

lm_sensors trustworthiness 27 29 (12/28/2005 8:23:28 PM) comp.os.linux.hardware Hi, I recently compiled lm_sensors for my Asus A7V333 (2 GHz Athlon CPU). The output, once tweaked to remove nonexistent hardware, is this: asb100-i2c-0-2d Adapter: SMBus Via Pro adapter at e800 VCore 1: +1... ebenONE

4.1 woes 2 28 (6/1/2005 8:28:15 PM) comp.os.linux.hardware I borrowed a Logitech 4.1 (four satellites + sub) set from my friend, and it sounds great, except: I cannot consistently get 2-channel PCM sound (MP3s, most WAVs/AIFFs, some DVDs) to copy the front speaker dat... ebenONE

SCSI adapter? 13 37 (12/29/2004 8:47:03 AM) comp.os.linux.hardware I have a SCSI card, which lspci says is an "Adaptec AHA-2940U/UW/D / AIC-7881U (rev 01)". It uses aic-7xxx.o (2.4.26). Its external port has 50(? 68?) contacts. I don't know what it's called, but it's short ... ebenONE

DVD+R error 31 24 (12/18/2004 6:55:15 PM) comp.os.linux.hardware OK, so I have an "_NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A". When I feed it what the container identifies as "DVD-RW/4X/NP07" (no brand indicated) and issue the command "dvdrecord -dao dev=0,0,0 speed=4 ../mel.iso" (it always req... ebenONE

Error when writing DVD-RWs 8 27 (12/3/2004 6:08:33 AM) comp.os.linux.misc Part of my laptop's hard drive is XP (NTFS), and I wanted to back it up. The best way I knew of (OK, the _only_ way) so it could be restored under Linux to a bootable state to back up the entire partition (opti... ebenONE

storing files on an error-prone medium 2 29 (9/12/2004 10:22:18 PM) comp.os.linux.hardware I recently learned that the error rate on DVD-RWs is something like 1 error per 1E9 bits. That works out to around 37 errors per 4.7 GB disc. While that may be acceptable for movies, it's definitely not OK fo... ebenONE

different (not new) video card woes 9 22 (8/15/2004 3:04:32 AM) comp.os.linux.hardware I changed video cards. I guess it's an upgrade. The new one is an ATI All-in-Wonder 8500DV. Due to a mix-up (my fault), I bought a new video card thinking this one was bad, which displaced this into my machi... ebenONE

digital camera #2 22 30 (7/24/2004 5:24:32 PM) comp.os.linux.hardware This may seem odd, but I'm looking for a digital camera that won't have problems with Linux, MacOS X or Windows XP. Does such a beast exist? Should; a CF card can go anywhere. It must store images on some sor... ebenONE

partition expansion and backyp questions 5 31 (7/6/2004 7:19:23 AM) comp.os.linux.hardware I recently put SuSE 9.1 (plus kernel 2.6.7) on my Thinkpad T40. I believe that, to enable hibernation, I have to have a swap partition big enough for RAM plus video memory. (If I'm wrong, please let me know.)... ebenONE

Terrible Web Surfing Speed 17 22 (2/9/2005 4:14:57 AM) comp.os.linux.networking Hi: Suse 9.1. I switched to SBC/Yahoo DSL a few months ago. Big mistake. It's way too consumer oriented.

Problem with two soundcards 4 40 (2/10/2005 1:27:06 PM) comp.os.linux.hardware Hello, My Abit motherboard has an intergrated soundcard (cmedia pci).
