Hi everyone, currently I'm replacing my old 10Base2 ethernet at home with a 802.11g WLAN. I'm running into some range problems. The hardware is the following: Allnet 0271 PCI cards (supported by stock 2.6 kernel, yay) SMC 2802W.V2 PCI cards (supported by ndiswrapper only, shame) Linksys WRT54GS Router (nicely hackable) The trouble is that the PCI cards are unable to connect wirelessly, even though the distance is less than 10 meters. There are 2 walls inbetween the PCs. The house was built in 1974, and I'm not sure if any steel-reinforced concrete has been used. Some experiments have shown that as long as there is an approximate line of sight between any of the components, things will work somewhat, although the range is still bad ( > 50% packet loss at less than 10 meters distance). Curiously, a Centrino-based laptop (802.11b) gets "great" range (> 20 meters). I've tried forcing the whole WLAN to 802.11b, but that doesn't seem to help the PCI cards. I've tried changing channels, toggling encryption, etc, but nothing helped. Does anyone know if replacing the antennas on the PCI cards might help? Has anyone tried some? There are also active antennas (http://www.lirr.net/BA24.htm for example), which might work well, but they are a bit pricy (119 USD for this model). Or should I try to send the cards back and get a replacement? Any help is greatly appreciated, Christian Glodt

kmenuedit

by Alex

Hi Using SuSE 9.1, I have trouble using kmenuedit: I add an entry (item), save all, and then start via the k-menu. The entry appears correctly. Then I try to edit it again via kmenuedit: The entry has disappeared. I have always made an update via YOU of the kdelibs3, but that doesn't change anything. I googled around, but no real answer. So I ask here: Where are these menuentries stored, how can I fix this problem or how to go around? Thanx Al

external hard drive enclosure

by Eric Dondelinger

Hi, I'm looking into buying an external hard drive enclosure with USB2 & firewire ports, for fitting with an IDE or SATA 3.5" drive. I've been doing some research, but I've nowhere found information on the maximum capacity these things support - I imagine the IDE-to-USB-or-Firewire bridge would be subject to the same sort of limitations we've seen over the years with the PC BIOS. Can anyone point me to more info? TIA, Eric

Problems with playing video files

by Jean-Jacques Mouris

Hello, I have trouble with output of video files (.mpg, playing DVDs, etc) in my new installation. Before installing the sound-card, I could watch mpgs in kaffeine or xine. After installing the sound card, I have permanent crashes of both applications. In KDE, they crash before playing anything, in IceWM, the kaffeine plays the sound, but not the video of mpg files. Error messages are the following: (on the console:) kaffeine: simple.c:1513: snd_mixer_selem_set_playback_volume: Assertion `elem->type == SND_MIXER_ELEM_SIMPLE' failed. ERROR: Communication problem with kaffeine, it probably crashed. (in the KDE Crash Handler:) (no debugging symbols found)...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".

Rep:Re: [Lilux-help] programs works as root, but not as user

by Vincent Bremaud

If this doesn't work, the thing I would do would be to launch mozilla in gdb, wait for the SIGSEGV signal, and see in which line in the source of Mozilla is the problem. Maybe a variable contains a reference to the resource causing the problem. Just a thought... -----Message d'origine----- De: Patrick Kaell <sparc(a)kayoon.net> A: Patrick Useldinger <pu(a)vo.lu> Date: 08/08/04 Objet: Re: [Lilux-help] programs works as root, but not as user Patrick Useldinger wrote: > Hi all, > > my Mozilla runs fine when I am the root user, but not when I use a > "normal" user.

This is very strange. I would log in as a normal user and do a mv .mozilla .mozilla.bck Start Mozilla and let it create a new .mozilla. Check if the problem still persists. A good method to see which files are accessed is by using strace. But I have never used strace on a big program like Mozilla. Have you changed your Mozilla or do you use the default Slackware package?

programs works as root, but not as user

by Patrick Useldinger

Hi all, my Mozilla runs fine when I am the root user, but not when I use a "normal" user. It starts OK, gets the default page, and produces a segmentation fault when it is about to render the page. As it is OK when run with root permissions, I suppose it is a permission or path problem. My more general question is: how can I find out which ressources are searched for, accessed, and with what result? -pu
