• Satellite L20-183 broken BIOS - Linux

  I have a problem with may Satellite L20-183. When I try to install the operating system Linux (Mandriva Linux 2006 official) after checking the HDD, cd... I see a broken 'BIOS' massage and only what I can do is to restart the computer.
  Why is this happening and what can I do to solve this problem.

  Hello

  I'm don't know if you know, but Toshiba doesn't support the Linux operating system.
  In this case there is no information on these issues of Linux on Toshiba laptops.
  I have a tip for you. Why not install windows on your device and use a Knoppix Linux? You n t need to install Linux on the HARD drive. It starts from the live DVD and you can work with Linux as with Suse Linux.

  Good bye

• Tecra M5: standby/suspend one with a Linux 2.6 kernel

  I'm using linux kernel v2.6.16.20 on a Tecra M5, stable distribution of Debian 3.1. Most things seem to work properly, an annoying problem with the nvidia graphics drivers means that I can't go to a text console after starting X, but the more annoying is that I have to stop and start the machine there is no way I have found yet to convince standby or suspend.

  I use ACPI. As a fall back I also tried APM but it seems that it is not of any popular support APM in the BIOS on this laptop. That's fine, I'd rather be using ACPI, just need to make it work. I updated the BIOS to version 1.5.

  I have activated CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP (also have CONFIG_SMP, CONFIG_SUSPEND_SMP, CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, seem to need the last in order then to activate CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP) and CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND.
  $ cat/sys/power/state
  Reports:
  disc of mem

  Don't know where the option 'sleep' went, without active CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP it reports 'sleep mem.

  Running: (in single-user mode, using-s at startup, so this minimum amount is running)
  $ echo "mem" >/sys/power/state
  Things start to happen, the screen becomes white with a second or two which makes it difficult to actually identify what he began to do/don't, but then it's right there, fan is active, can't really tell if the hard drive is still turning but there is little change except the cutting screen. May not then wake up at all, screen remains blank, no access to disk AFAIK, left for 10 minutes or so just in case is to have time-out problems, nothing. Only solution then is to powercycle (now the power button / Stop button for more than 4 seconds) and start from scratch again.

  Have also tried 2.6.16.9 compilation and applied suspend2 patch in an attempt to get the machine to suspend to disk, not my ideal choice but any suspension would be good at this point. All patched and updated ok, (taken 2.6.19.9 simply own patches against the kernel version had suspend2 I knew) running script "hibernate" written in the file or the fine swap, it shuts the laptop very well, but just the recovery does not. Tried FilesWriter initially and then went down to the most frequent SwapWriter, added ' echo >/proc/suspend2/do_resume ' initrd and also tried adding a script to/etc/mkinitrd/scripts that appear on a couple of distro Debian suspend2 lists for initrd plays, still no joy.
  Tried to adjust compression = none in the config I noticed that when using FileWriter with initrd problem lack the lzf module, rather than messing around trying to add lzf to initrd I figured disabling compression at least would allow me to test, still no joy. SwapWriter I got close, looked like, he begins to take over, then the laptop restarts after just a few seconds and then start normally, start info went. Nothing in the paper that I can see to suggest there is no problem at all.

  Am I missing something completely obvious here? I have searched several sites, came up with very little. Doesn't sound like a lot of people have linux on a Tecra M5, the few that relate the bits of material work, none seems to talk about Eve/suspension. Or maybe it chance is just a lot better than mine!

  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this to work? I would like to be able to "standby" (S1) the laptop at the beginning so at least the material should continue to work on summary, then possibly S3/S4 (suspension on ram or disk) later if I can get this work and equipment to take back the goods. Only the next step I can think acpidump but my knowledge of the workings of ACPI is nonexistence, otherwise than to know it should work better than it does currently.

  Suggestions welcome!

  Thank you very much
  Pete

  Hello

  It is also possible that standby or Hibernate mode is not important for users. ;)
  In my view, it is important that this OS runs stabile and hardware components are recognized correctly.

  Sorry but I can't help you and hope another user of Tecra M5 with Linux has better luck than you.

  In any case good luck!

• Linux Debian 3.0 on Satellite M70-159

  Hello. I would like to install Debian Linux 3.0 (kernel 2.6) on my Satellite M70-159 (from DVD disc). After some operations Installer Linux said that my laptop has no HDD (Partitionable media). Anyone tried to install Debian on M70? Is it possible to install Linux on this laptop?

  Hello

  How did you create the partition, and you have created the partition for the use of Linux?
  The fact is that you cannot use a similar kind of partition for the Windows operating system.

  PS: Unfortunately, Toshiba doesn't support the Linux operating system and you will find all the drivers Toshiba for this OS.

• Touchpad and trackpoint dead with 1.17 on Linux bios

  Hello!

  I have a laptop of E460, on which I am dual booting Windows 10 Pro and Manjaro Linux (mainly Arch Linux) with the kernel Linux 4.5.2.

  Having the same problem as people discuss in the thread E460 keys repeat when 3 seconds , I've been banging my bios to 1.13, 1.16 and yesterday, 1.17 bios, to see if the problem had been solved.

  With the 1.17 bios update, my touchpad and trackpoint stopped working under Linux (Windows they work fine). They do not yet appear in/dev/input, and there is no mention of one of them in dmesg, journalctl, /var/log/Xorg.0.log or anywhere.

  The touchpad and stick worked fine in the bios 1.13 and 1.16, so I think that there is a regression in 1.17.

  Everyone knows this? Can Lenovo, if there is a problem?

  Have you tried to reset the default BIOS settings? Then try again.

• How to compile and install the kernel modules after nation and nipalk for installation of Gentoo 64 bit?

  We are trying to install a PCIe 6251 DAQ card in a box of Gentoo 64 bit running Linux kernel 2.6.28 - gentoo-r5 4.3.2 - gcc and glibc - 2.8.  We have installed RPM utilities to manage the installation.  The current problem is that we are not able to compile and install the kernel modules: nidmxfk, nimsdrk, nimstsk and nipxirmk.  Here's a summary of what we have done so far, and to what extent we got.

  First of all, we have changed the configuration of the kernel that we could export the init_mm unused symbol by changing the configuration option of the CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS = o kernel and recompile the kernel.  Then we installed LabView 8.6.1.  Then we ran the nation 1.9 installer who has installed the source code in vain on the compilation.  To resolve this problem, we have changed the function of pte_offset to pte_offset_kernel by editing the file/usr/local/natinst/nation/configures following the instructions here:

  http://decibel.NI.com/content/docs/doc-4511

  We were then able to compile and install the kernel nation module thanks to:

  . / configure
  do
  make install

  lsmod said that nation has been properly installed.  Then we ran the installer for DAQmx 8.0.1 by:

  . / INSTALL - nodeps

  To do this, we have received errors indicating that LabView support could not be installed because check addictive (incorrectly we think) stated that labviewbase86 has not been installed; This caused the installer to have an abortion.  Therefore, we refused to install support for LabView 8.6 and revived the installation program which produces the output:

  Installation of the driver NOR-DAQmx Distribution of Linux Installer version 8.0.1f0...

  Already to jump Edward - 1.9.0 - f0.noarch.rpm installation, same or newer

  After Installation...

  At this point, after reading this report, we used the Gentoo rc update utility to add several scripts for the boot runlevel initialisation:

  update of RC - a boot nipple
  update of RC - a bunch of nipxirmu
  update of RC - a bunch of mxssvr
  update of RC - a bunch of nisvcloc
  update of RC - a bunch of nidevldu

  When the computer reboots, you get an error message indicating that the following kernel modules are not: nidmxfk, nimsdrk, nimstsk and nipxirmk.  lsmod shows that the nation and nipalk are installed, but no other kernel modules NOR are present.  modprobe-l shows that only nation and nipalk are available.

  So we have several questions:

  1. we install drivers in the correct order?  Should use us NI-VISA 4.5 or NOR-488. 2 rather than DAQmx 8.0.1?

  2. What kernel modules should be loaded for this equipment run?  How to compile and install the ones that we have yet, specifically nidmxfk, nimsdrk, nimstsk and nipxirmk?  Are there others?

  3. How can we get the installer to properly recognize that we have installed LabView Core and install support for LabView?  Are there additional kernel modules related to the support of LabView?

  4. What is the symbolic link that was not created in the DAQmx installation report? (ln: create the symbolic link ' / usr/local/include/NIDAQmx.h': no such file or directory)?

  I apologize for so many questions, but these seem to be the last obstacles to obtaining OR runs correctly on this system.  Is there other information that we can provide that would be useful?  Thanks for any help or suggestions you can offer.

  Craig

  Hey Craig,.

  Given that you use 64-bit Linux all kernel modules must be compiled for 64 - bit.  User mode binaries can be 32-bit, assuming that you have installed the 32-bit support libraries.

  NOR-DAQmx is a complex architecture and requires several kernel modules to support your PCIe card.  Most of these kernel modules have not been brought to support 64-bit Linux.  Some kernel modules are components infrustructure that are shared with other pilots OR as NI-VISA and NOR-488. 2 and have been brought to support 64-bit Linux.  Unfortunately, you need all the modules to use your hardware.

  I hope that answers your question.

• VPN client Linux

  Hello

  I currently have problems to install the VPN (4.8.01.640) client on a Linux (fedora 8 kernel 2.6.25). On a Linux forum found some guys saying that the VPN client will not install correctly on any kernel above 2.4.xx. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Is there a solution?

  Thanks in advance

  1. for users running fedora kernels, they * must * install the rpm corresponding kernel sources. (Installation of SMP)

  2. for people who run their own kernel, they must use the build their kernel running tree to build the client. It is insufficient for unpacking the source code of the kernel version they are running.

• Y at - it an update of the asm for kernel 2.6.39 driver - 300.17.3.el6uek.x86_64?

  I've got Oracle 6.3 with this kernel installed and 'install acfsroot' fails the core version control (ADVM/ACFS don't is not supported on this version of the OS)
  
  Patch 14275572 has version 2.6.32 - 300-x86_64 for files:
  oracleacfs.Ko oracleadvm.ko oracleoks.ko
  
  How can I get the version of the kernel, I am running?
  
  If there is no way to add update modules, what is the standard procedure to return to the 2.6.32 kernel - 300?
  (Then I hope that run "install acfsroot" and took in charge)
  
  How is it that this happens? (I just installed the last Oracle Linux 6.3 and last 11.2.0.3 and it doesn't work?)
  
  Thanks for any help.

  Please visit the following link to answer your last response.

  It seems kernel 2.6.39 (UEK2, Linux 3.0 kernel) is not taken in charge and kernel 200 and later needs patches, but you can check out the info on the Oracle Support for more details.

• The kernel cache exists for physical Raw Device Mapping?

  Hello

  I use a SAN storage disk attached to the operating system as "Physical Raw Device Mapping" and mounted at/mnt/disk1.

  I was lke take backup of/mnt/disk1 with "SAN Storage FlashCopy function", which copy entire disk in the SAN storage box, bypassing the operating system Linux and VMware kernel.

  Summary of the backup script is as follows.

  Step1: Synchronize "clear the cache of the Operatiog Linux system

  Step 2: umount/mnt/disk1

  Step 3: ExecFlashCopy ' run SAN Storage FlashCopy function

  Step 4: mount/dev/sde/mnt/disk1

  But if the VMware kernel cache for 'Physical Raw Device Mapping Device', "Empty the Cache of VMware" is necessary in step 2.5.

  You know VMware cache exists for P "effective Raw Device Mapping Device", and how do I rinse it out.

  Thank you.

  Your proposal is false. ESXi is not linux and does not cache for VMFS.

  ESXi does not cache the IO VM guest operating system receives IO acknowledgement when the disk controller to acknowledge completion of e/s.

  ESXi doesn't have any cache for RDM, what is physical or virtual.

  Some reasons for their recommendations:
  http://public-yum.Oracle.com/
  The core Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise for Linux is the standard kernel used with Oracle products. The build
  and QA Oracle database systems and other Oracle products use the core of Oracle Unbreakable company
  for Linux exclusively. The core Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise for Linux is also the kernel used in Oracle
  Exadata and Oracle Exalogic systems. Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for Linux is used in all benchmarks

• 2430-101 stops at Toshiba-Logo (BIOS Setup/Boot-selection products deadloop)

  Hello.

  I have a serious problem with my Satellite 2430 101:

  The system stops at the start after reaching the TOSHIBA Logo. Pressing F2/F12-key appears common waiting messages ("enter in BIOS-Setup" / "entering Boot Device selection Menu) "), but the system hangs and then upward in a deadloop (you can hear the fan turning after a few seconds). Restarting with Ctrl + Alt + Delete system works perfectly, but as soon as it happens

  This is what happened before the last stop:

  I simply restarted the system (OS: Novell/SUSE Linux 9.3 kernel 2.4.xxx) and usual stop messages appeared. Then there was strange messages, which resembles BIOS-output (I'm sure it's no message-Linux)-I remember only something about "Boot PXE" and that it was an error message. After waiting some time (about 15 minutes), I rebooted manually by pressing the power button.

  I tried unplugging everything which has been connected to the system (including ModularBay devices) - without any result. I use the old BIOS 1.10 because there is no BIOS-update to the 2430-101 available in the downlads (maybe that was the problem). I also tried out the hard drive - even without a hard drive, the system displays the same behavior (if the hard drive is not the problem)...

  I hope someone can help me with this, because I need my laptop for my work...

  Thank you

  Hi Rico,

  Have you tried to boot in SafeMode (PF8)? This should at least help you in your system to check for any errors.

  You can also try pressing them ESC when starting so that you can see the progress of the BIOS and the error messages.

  You have also installed the Comedi drivers and they bind to the device.  You can't have a driver link to one device at a time, so NEITHER-DAQmx will not find the device.

• No Audio - Inspiron 6400

  Hello

  I'm running an Inspiron 6400 (old, but * mainly * still works) and recently (for a few weeks) the sound has stopped working completely. I can't do audio speakers or headphones.

  Using audio players, if I try to read a file, the program will become numb and I have to leave. If I try to play a video, that is to say: on Youtube, the video will play without audio or won't play at all.

  Another thing to note: I dual boot Windows 7 and Linux. At the time where the sound has stopped working in Windows, I found it was also broken on Linux too, which initially led me to believe that it was a hardware problem, but after reinstallation of the operating system Linux sound on there started to work again. My only other thought is that the problem might be a level to the top of the BONE, but I don't want to take the risk of bricking my laptop computer with a BIOS flash at this point.

  Any thoughts would be appreciated :)

  but after the reinstallation of the operating system Linux sound there started to work again.

  Hello. Sorry for the delay in responding.

  If it doesn't work under Linux then it is not a hardware failure. You can try to install a driver audio Sigmatel (Vista version).

  Download the driver and extract the files (unzip or decompress and take note of the name of the folder created) but cancel the installation process. Go to the folder on the hard disk to which you have unpacked the driver files
  c:\Dell\Drivers\Rxxxxxx

  Find the setup.exe file and right-click on it. Select Properties. Find the Compatibility tab and select Vista.

  Note that there are some audio software Creative Labs available on Inspiron 6400 support page. If you never tried and cannot install this software before you install a driver Sigmatel audio no longer works in Windows because of the failure of a service. There is a fix available if that is the case.

  species9

  I don't want to take the risk of bricking my laptop with a flash of the BIOS at this stage.

  I don't blame you, and also if the audio allows you to work with your version of BIOS it should still work unless you have changed your cpu. But if you wish, you can contact a Dell employee via hours and get him or tell him you upgrade the BIOS. If the Dell motherboard brick it will fix as long you have the evidence to be directed to Dell.

• 2nd 2 TB Seagate hard disk not detected

  Currently, my Dimension 3100 desktop, 2.8 GHz P4 w/HT, 1.0 GB of ram has a Seagate 2 TB (6 Gb/s) inside. This hard drive replaced two hard disks, size 1. TB and 500 MB. The original 2 TB drive is full, 85%, so I bought another hard drive, exactly the same style and size as the active drive (STBD2000101). I run Linux as my main operating system, which is a resident of GParted. After that I physically installed 2nd hard drive 2 TB to SATA2, I tried to put up with GParted from the first hard drive to SATA0. Although GParted indicated that the drive was present, when this player was selected GParted not reported "no device detected". Temporarily, I removed the original drive and installed the 2nd hard drive to SATA0 for the purposes of the implementation of the partitions and format it ext3 of the live CD. It worked for the most part, except that GParted reported the drive as 29 GB used, even after formatting again. To make a long story short, I did some troubleshooting and found that nothing is really wrong, except that the 2, 1-TB limit has been exceeded when I installed the second hdd. The BIOS recognizes the new HDD on SATA2. GParted, run from the original disc with Linux OS, see a player but is grayed out when the disc is selected. I can see there is a problem with the limit of 2.1 TB on the capacity of the drive. Unfortunately, I use GRUB legacy bootloader installed on the MBR. I hope that others have worked through this kind of problem. Please notify.

  Thanks for the help. I knew why the second hard drive was not recognized. It is a matter of core, I use an old version of Linux. Recent kernels is not a problem with the detection of two hard drives of 2 TB. It is true that I have never exceeded the famous limitation of 2 TB. The kernel that would not see the second disc was 2.6.32. I now use the kernel 3.2.33. without any problem. Even if the drive can be detected by kernels older (for example. 2.6.32.59) there may be questions that deserve to move on to a core even more recent. "Grep sdb unpacking" command will display warnings if they exist.
