Thank you, Ricky. Unfortunately, my KTorrent crashed mid-way, and my download of about 1.7 GB of Sabayon's 3.9 GB went waste.. donno wattu do...

Of late, I hear, Sabayon has been performing very good...

I run a multi-boot system with Win xp, Ubuntu, 2 Kubuntu's and Sidux and openSUSE 11.0

Now if I install Sabayon, will it write all these OS records to its boot record ? Someone on the IRC chat on Sabayon said it wouldn't.. what do you people say ??

I await ur thoughtful reply - it's not urgent, however. Sabayon is still just downloading on my sys.

I have a lil trouble with the above said applications.

They deal with a scanner.

Mine is an HP Scanjet 2400 series scanner... and XSane doesn't detect it at all. And in Kooka, I click on Settings -> Select Scan device, and get no result at all. And there is no Scan button.

I looked through Kooka help, but found nothing helpful...

I run Kubuntu. Please help.

Hi.

I'm concerned with phpSANE - a scanner application.

In its installation instructions, it is said that apache is a must. So I installed apache2.

The next step says: 'put the phpSANE directory in your www-root directory'. Now where do I find this www-root directory ? I'm running Kubuntu - the KDE version of Ubuntu.

Kindly tell me location of my www-root. Is it in /etc/apache2/ ?

Thank you.

Hi.

I'm running Fedora 7. My hard disc is about 20% occupied. The rest is free / unpartitioned. I want to load Ubuntu 8.04 in future. Can I ?

If I load it, will it still recognize Fedora 7, and leave it intact in the new boot loader it creates ? Or will Fedora 7 be invisible ? I don't wanna lose Fedora.

Kindly clarify.

In that ungrab-winmodem_20070426.tar.gz, after gunzipping and tarring, there is a C file: ungrab-winmodem.c

I applied "sudo make clean" and "sudo make" and "sudo make install" at the prompt in that directory.. and got this:

(end)

There appeared no ungrab-winmodem.o

Waht can I do now ? Anyone ?

Oh thank you Ricky, you provided me with a newer version. Within 2 days, I'll post the result...

Hey people note ..

ungrab-winmodem.ko, that is essential in the process of setting up a PCI modem driver, is missing in the package in which it must be found.

The package is slamr-2.6.22-14-generic.tar.gz, found on http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Smartlink/Ubuntu. Sasha Khapyorsky is the author of this driver for this HSP56 micromodem 688T of Oasis chipset.

Upon gunzipping and tarring, the resulting folder has a setup script, in which there is a line as follows:

                 modprobe ungrab-winmodem

but unfortunately, there is no ungrab-winmodem in that folder. The script thus fails to install the driver on my Edubuntu 7.10.

Somebody bring it to his notice.

That's right, man. I too don't see why it appears so.

I read somewhere that the Java we install fails to replace the one that came by default with the Linux OS.

Has anyone tried Ubuntu 7.10 yet ? The Gutsy gibbon i mean. How much of memory does it require ? Will it run on a 256 MB RAM ? I have only 256 MB of RAM.

Can someone tell me how to do it ?

I want to use the setserial command to configure my serial device, but couldn't know what its name was. Is there some way of knowing the name of my serial device?

I'm running Fedora 7 (Moonshine)

There was a command "hal-device" i think, but it produces so much output that i cannot see the earlier lines in it...

What I had done was I had ubuntu running on my system. And there was a lot of unpartitioned space left on the hard disc. So then I used it and installed windows xp as well.

When I rebooted i could not see Linux installation at all! Among the options prior to booting, there was only Windows xp.

To see linux again, I made a small partition, and installed linux a second time, then I could see all the three Operating Systems...!

Could you tell me how I can overcome this problem..?

it comes with Java 5 (jdk1.5...)

Oh thanks Gaurav, I had got confused by # in your previous response, and typed it myself in front of javac test.java

So I had to type at the # prompt "javac test.java", and not "#javac test.java" at the hash prompt (with a redundant #)

Thank you.
akash.

Well mine was LSP 350T and it worked well under Ubuntu linux.

Now am running Fedora 7, and when I run wvdialconf   /etc/wvdial.conf, it doesn't detect modem on any port and the computer hangs up when it reaches ttyS2 and is at 115200 baud rate.

What could I do? I can't use my HSP56 Micromodem 688T, either. No one seems to have written a driver for it yet, (slamr.ko), exactly to match my kernel.. (2.6.20-2925.9.fc7xen, if I remember right!) There is another kernel too in my own machine under same fedora 7, that is 2.6.20-1.3194.fc7 (?)
