Hi,

I want to restrict some code to use a specific network interface for all incoming and outgoing packets. The way to do this seems to be do a setsockopt() with SO_BINDTODEVICE set appropriately....

Hrm, I hadn't actually thought of that. So I isolated the TV and ran it alone, nothing else nearby affecting it, and ran the laptop from battery power. I got the same results. :(

I can't figure...

*bump*

Curious as to whether there's anybody here might have seen this problem, or if it's just that this apartment has a low-quality TV...

Possibly. But, for one, I've not yet found anything hinting at how I'd modify that. For two, it doesn't quite explain how the signal looks okay to begin with, then quickly switches to the "fuzzier"...

I've tried various supported screen resolutions, from 640x480 to 1024x768, all with the same result, I'm afraid.

Hi,

Yesterday I decided I wanted to watch DVDs on the TV in my flat. The TV is nothing fancy, an old widescreen CRT, but it has an SVIDEO input. My laptop, a Vaio VGN-FE11H has an SVIDEO out, and...

Admin password for the box, not for the ISP ;)

I've asked my landlord for ISP details. We'll see if he can get those to me.

Yeah, I'd tried the default password... unfortunately, the password has been changed to something else, hence this whole conundrum :(

Hi,

I've just moved into an apartment with an existing ADSL line. There's a ZyXEL Prestige 600 Series 4 port hub, wifi, and DSL modem connecting me to the ISP.

However, the wifi is not enabled....

The solution was as follows:


Create two partitions from within Linux: one large, the target for XP, and one small, to copy the contents of the CD. Bear in mind that the Windows installer...

Ok. So, as you point out, those aren't directly applicable. Obviously there's no kernel or initrd to point grub to with a Windows iso.

But a part of me would still have expected the chainloader +1...

Right. I was assuming that by dd'ing the CD to disk, it'd carry with it the boot sector on the CD, which I'd be able to use chainloader +1 on.


So, how are you booting that iso? Info appreciated....

Hi,

I'm putting this in Off Topic, because it doesn't really fit elsewhere.

Is it possible to install Windows XP without the CD? Network installs etc are probably out of the question due to...

I only grabbed the network-manager-gnome from Sid. The rest is still from Lenny.

There's a good bit of useful information in that thread now. Probably the best fix, aside from using the KDE equivalent, is to pull the Gnome version from sid.

Best of luck,
-S.

I'm getting the same. nm-applet apparently belongs to the package network-manager-gnome, which doesn't appear to exist in lenny (testing) at the moment, though it appears in both stable and unstable....

That did the trick. Thanks! rsync I hadn't thought of, but nc looks to be very handy indeed...

Hi,

I have two remote machines to which I do not have physical access. I want to replicate the contents of a partition on one of the machines onto an empty partition on another.

The source...

I wasn't familiar with nvidia-settings until just now, but no, it doesn't do this. I can use it to affect the settings for currently connected monitors, but I can't ask it to probe for new monitors.

Right. That's what I thought. And, yes, it would be inefficient to repeatedly poll outputs to find new monitors...

So if not an automatic reconfiguration, I assume it's impossible to tell X "check...

Yes, that's essentially what I'm running just now.

I'm wondering if there's a way to run this setup, but have X automatically notice the secondary monitor when it's plugged in. I would find that...

Hi,

I think I know the answer to this already, but I figured I'd ask. I've got a nVidia GeForce Go 7400 in my Vaio, which I have configured to use both twinview and a more traditional dual-head...

Yeah, I spotted that thread. Suppose I'm kind of hopeful that something's changed in 5 months :-)

Might be time to break out the old Windows XP disk again.


Cheers,
-S.

Hi,

I've gotten my hands on a pretty cheap DVB-T USB stick. Ideally, I'd like it to work under linux, but the stick doesn't seem to be directly supported. Googling doesn't turn up much.

I've...

Hi,

Is it possible to setup X, perhaps more specifically twinview, to utilise a second monitor if it's plugged in while X is running? What I need is my laptop screen cloned onto a projector screen...
