Liberty of individuals is with TCPA on the verge of an additional smackdown. Yet very few know about it...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21402377-114589494592150613?l=linuxfever.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ZigZagnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21402377.post-1145090153878142252006-04-15T01:29:00.000-07:002006-04-15T01:35:53.930-07:00This machine works fine under linux. The only non-trivial parts are the Marvell ethernet card and ATI X600 video card. I skipped the smart cards reader, pcmcia, modem etc...<br /><br />I installed ubuntu dapper drake (flight 6). The problems were solved simply by:<br /><br /> - Installing the fglrx driver for X11 hardware acceleration via apt-get<br /> - Enabling the newer sky2 module for the marvell ethernet in /etc/modules<br /><br />And ah! it took me more time to figure out for the wifi... The ipw2200 is automatically recognized, yet there is a small switch on the front of the laptop... Push it left...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21402377-114509015387814225?l=linuxfever.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ZigZagnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21402377.post-1140865578435397512006-02-25T03:04:00.000-08:002006-02-25T07:47:06.463-08:00For installing so seamlessly, right out of the box with hardware that usual debian can't cope with straight away...<br /><br />It can't identify the digium card though... going to see the zaptel and asterisk modules...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21402377-114086557843539751?l=linuxfever.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ZigZagnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21402377.post-1138045192953930842006-01-23T11:31:00.000-08:002006-01-23T11:39:52.983-08:00In case a daemon (<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">dae</span>) and a user (<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">joe</span>) have concurrent access to a directory (refered as <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">dir</span>) and both want to get read/write, here's a trick that can do:<br /><ol> <li>Create a group (<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">shared</span> in this document).</li> <li>chown -R dae:shared dir or chown -R joe:shared dir<br /> </li> <li>chmod -R 2775 (resp. 2770) dir</li> </ol> Then make sure to use umask 002 as a user or have the daemon or program operate with group-writeability. The setgid properties allow for inheritage of the group when creating folders/files within. (Test &amp; FIX: setgid gets inherited or is it only in case of 2760 mode - appears then with a capital 'S').<br /><br />The directory tree should be read/write for all and only the user will change, depending on if it is the user or the program that created the file/directory.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21402377-113804519295393084?l=linuxfever.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ZigZagnoreply@blogger.com0
