For Computer/Electronic Engineer types -- Intel Data Sheet interpretation ?!?
by Bill Case
Hi;
I have the 102 page Intel Data Sheet in front of me. I am trying to
determine the High and Low voltage numbers for transistors on my
system.
I am not trying to do anything mysterious or build a CPU in my garage.
I am just doing a small write up for myself that has an introductory
paragraph for a section on how DRAM memory works that says something
like "My machine's CPU and Memory transistors typically use XXX volts
when thrust High and XXX volts when driven Low." I understand that
things can get more complex, but I am only trying to establish a sense
or feel of what is happening inside, not write a technical manual for
engineers.
All the various Vtt, Vcc, Vss, VID etc. are getting confusing. I will
either have to spend a couple of days googling trying to interpret the
Data Sheet or take a short cut by asking here.
What designation or parameters should I be looking at for high and low
voltage (logical/binary 1 and logical/binary 0)?
I am using the Intel 318732.pdf {Core 2 Duo Processor Data Sheet}.
lshw says I have a:
product: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80GHz
vendor: Intel Corp.
bus info: cpu@0
version: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU
slot: Socket 775
size: 1600MHz
capacity: 4GHz
width: 64 bits
clock: 266MHz

New scanner/printer combo

Greetings;
My truly ancient Epson C82 finally refused to respond to the head cleaning

printer.
It signs on as: (Fedora 10, kernel 2.6.32-rc5)

=========================
which appears that the scanner, ahh, wait, its got a card reader in it too,
in addition to ethernet and bluetooth. So that explains /dev/sg9 and /dev/sgi.
So there are two problems, which do not prevent it from being used for all
sorts of utility printing.
Problem 1 is that the newest Epson/gutenprint drivers are for the NX400
series, so the maximum useable resolution is 1440x720, whereas it can go
as high as 5760x2880. I would like to be able to get to 2880x2880 for photo work.
Problem 2 is that the scanner doesn't even check in as shown above.
OTOH, I also have an Epson 1250u that works flawlessly, but it would be nice
to get rid of one rather high occupancy item here in the coyote.den.
The current xsane device dialog skips it, going directly to the Epson 1250u,
so xsane isn't seeing it, and while I have kooka according to the menu's, it
doesn't come when called.
Has anyone a clue to pass along?
Thanks.

nouveau / nv problem in Rawhide
by Rares Aioanei
I like to compile and test the latest kernels from Linus' git tree;
however, on Fedora, I have a problem : using the git kernels with
nouveau doesn't work, but if I switch to nv then the rawhide kernel
gives me headaches (X doesn't start because "there is already a module
claiming the device" , according to Xorg.0.log. Suggestions, please?

Samba with Windows XP client
by Timothy Murphy
I'm running Samba on a Fedora machine,
and was hoping to access files on a Windows XP Pro client,
by "sudo mount -t cifs harriet:C /mnt/win".
This works OK, but I am not able to browse on the Windows machine.
Am I misunderstanding something about how Samba works?
Do I need to specify this Windows folder on the Linux box?
Or is there some step I am meant to take on the Windows machine,
beyond allowing File and Folder Sharing?

samba 3.4 ADS support broken on ipv6 networks ?
by Pim Zandbergen
Our Windows 2003 domain controllers and Samba member servers
support both ipv4 and ipv6. Our DNS server resolves hostnames
both to ipv4 and ipv6 addresses.
Recently, this turned out to be a problem when within a regular
Fedora 11 update, samba 3.2 was replaced with samba 3.4.
samba-3.4.2-0.42.fc11.i586 to be exact.
Everything Active Directory related stopped working and I had
to stop winbind because it started to eat all open file resources.
A quick look with wireshark shows that the Samba 3.4 member server
tries to make an ipv6 LDAP connection to the Windows 2003 DC.
Now Windows 2003 does support ipv6, but its AD LDAP service
does not. Samba, like any other app should fall back to ipv4,
but apparantly does not.
There more evidence to my theory because
net ads testjoin -S dc
fails with
2009/11/04 14:29:47, 0] utils/net_ads.c:279(ads_startup_int)
ads_connect: No logon servers
Join to domain is not valid: No logon servers
and
net ads testjoin -S dc.ipv4
succeeds.
Here, "dc" resolves to both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses,
and "dc.ipv4" resolves to an ipv4 address only.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
I have seen no mention of this problem on either Samba or Fedora
mailinglists, nor in bugzilla.redhat.com
Thanks,
Pim

compiling src.rpm
by Martín Marqués
I'm having problems with ktorrent crashing all the time and I wanted
to try a patch I found in bugs.kde.org which may fix this problem.
The thing is that compilation of src.rpm isn't what it used to be.
Before I would install the src.rpm, go the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCE/ and
modify the source, or add a patch (adding it in the spec file) and
then just run rpmbuild -ba my.spec and I would have the new rpm. This
doesn't work anymore.
How can I compile a src.rpm now a days?

Evince "home directory"
by Frank Cox
When I open a document from Evince (File-Open) I always get a window that says
this:
"The folder contents could not be displayed Error stating file
'/home/frankcox/Documents': No such file or directory
I don't have a directory called Documents.
Is the default directory name hard-coded into Evince? I can't find any way to
change it to a directory that I actually do have so I won't see this error
message every time.
I could put a symbolic link named Documents in my home directory but I don't
really want to...
