Users / Driver

« on: June 05, 2009, 08:07:58 pm »

greetings,
I have a ethernet driver for what is going to be an MD that i need to install because I get a kernel panic.  My question is whether or not I need to just simply create a MD in the admin web and put the module in:

/lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/

or if it is necessary to do all or any of these steps listed in the "unrecognized Lan/rt8168" listed below which i'm trying to adapt to my lan.

sudo su
cd /usr/src
unzip -qq /path/to/LinuxDrivers.zip
cd /usr/src/LinuxDrivers/LAN/r8168-8.003.00/r8168-8.003.00
make
cp src/r8168.ko /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/
mv /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko.not
depmod -a
/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh
cp /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/r8168.ko /usr/pluto/diskless/<moon #>/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net
vi /usr/pluto/diskless/<moon #>/etc/initramfs-tools/modules
added r8168 and saved
cd /usr/pluto/diskless
chroot <moon #>
mv /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko.not
depmod -a /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/r8168.ko
cd /boot
update-initramfs -uv
(scrolled up to verify the new module was added it was at the top of the output)
for S and G's ran depmod -a again
exit out of the chroot

Hello, will linuxmce 8.10 be bound to kubuntu 8.10 as with linuxmce 7.10 and kubuntu 7.10?  Will users be able to use other versions of ubuntu or another os with the upcoming linuxmce release?

Users / webdt 366

« on: May 03, 2009, 08:09:10 pm »

I have two webdt's the correct specifications, ie ram and flash that were given to me without the wifi card or batteries.  My question is, before i buy the missing hardware, am i right to assume that the downloadable orbiters on admin website can not be used on the webdt? If not how difficult would it be for a linux beginner to load thom's image onto the web pad without bricking it?

I'm new to linux. I goggled but can't find the right answer to solve my problem. hopefully you guys would be willing to help.  I'm trying to use konsole to edit, I bring up whatever i need to edit fine. Then I hit the insert so i can change the text, but every command i use to save the edited text such as ctrl-o does not work. it just comes back up with the original text. what am i doing wrong?
