Como habilitar a partição swap?

Como um bom Linux, o Firefox OS possui algumas funções que precisam ser devidamente configuradas para uso, a partição SWAP permite espaço extra (e mais lento) para memória RAM, ajudando na abertura paralela de mais apps.
Obtive acesso root através dos arquivos presentes neste site: http://elsimpicuitico.wordpress.com/firefoxos/
remontei a partição /system com permissão de escrita através do seguinte comando:
mount -o remount,rw /system
Daí iniciei a configuração da partição SWAP, criando tanto um arquivo no SD com essa função como uma partição propriamente dita no SD.
usando essa partição configurei o arquivo /etc/fstab e mandei ligar o swap pelo comando
swapon -a
mas o comando retornou o erro:
swapon: /sdcard/.swap: Function not implemented
Após algumas pesquisas descobri que a função de swap precisa estar habilitada no Kernel do sistema
https://support.mozilla.org/pt-BR/questions/976573
Segundo a pergunta acima, o kernel é responsabilidade da própria Alcatel
Mas supostamente pode-se verificar o suporte ou não do kernel ao swap através do comando:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
que retorna isto:
Processor : ARMv7 Processor rev 1 (v7l)
processor : 0
BogoMIPS : 501.64
Features : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp thumbee neon vfpv3 tls vfpv4
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant : 0x0
CPU part : 0xc05
CPU revision : 1
Hardware : QCT MSM7x27a FFA
Revision : 0000
Serial : 0000000000000000
na linha Features é possível ver que a função "swp", abreviação de swap está disponível no kernel.
Em outro site: http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=pt-BR&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=pl&tl=pt-BR&u=http://forum.myfirefoxos.pl/watek-Swap-file%3Fpage%3D2&usg=ALkJrhhpyk7CxJc32ip4ny3Brzzb-G6eGw
diz que é preciso alterar uma configuração no kernel para habilitar o suporte do mesmo ao swap, e podia-se verificar este suporte no conteúdo do arquivo presente no Firefox OS:
/proc/config.gz
copiando para o SD e descompactando é possível ler este trecho:
CONFIG_HAVE_KERNEL_LZO=y
CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP=y
# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZO is not set
CONFIG_DEFAULT_HOSTNAME="(none)"
# CONFIG_SWAP is no set
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL=y
# CONFIG_POSIX_MQUEUE is not set
# CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT is not set
CONFIG_SWAP is not set, ou seja, o suporte ao Swap não foi habilitado durante a compilação do kernel, editar este arquivo e mandá-lo pra pasta parece não mudar muita coisa, afinal ele é só um texto reportando características já existentes do kernel, sem poder para controlá-lo.
Mesmo sabendo disso, experimentei inserir este mesmo arquivo alterado para que o parâmetro CONFIG_SWAP esteja como CONFIG_SWAP=y, como todas as outras opções habilitadas, em uma imagem de initramfs e mandar o sistema dar boot com ela, bom, o sistema restaurou o arquivo original e seguiu seu boot normalmente.
Sabendo isto, a lógica diz para pegar o código fonte do kernel do Firefox OS (no meu caso, o branch hamachi), alterar o arquivo .config presente em sua pasta raiz e alterar o
# CONFIG_SWAP is not set
para
CONFIG_SWAP=y
Após isso bastaria compilar, unir em uma imagem de boot com arquivos initramfs e bootimg.cfg (usar aquelas presentes no arquivo de boot original provavelmente não traria problemas) e montar uma nova imagem de boot, com o kernel já habilitado pra suportar swap
instalá-la usando fastboot no aparelho e seguir a configuração do ponto onde o erro Function not implemented aparecia.
aparentemente as fontes do kernel estão presentes na página do Sourceforge da Alcatel, cujo download pode ser feito aqui:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/ONE_TOUCH_FIRE_4012_20130628.tar.xz/download
mas ele precisa deste patch: https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/lf/b2g/build/plain/patch/ics_strawberry/kernel/kernel-add-fillcolor.patch?h=v1.1
mesmo assim esse kernel parece não ser o mais estável, como podemos ver pelos comentários aqui:
http://forum.myfirefoxos.pl/watek-Swap-file (recomendo o uso do Google Translate, o texto está em Polonês)
Mas alguns comentários depois há pessoas que obtiveram sucesso em usar swap, até reportam qual tipo de cartão SD é o mais adequado!
aqui neste vídeo é mostrado o Alcatel One Touch Fire com memória swap funcionando e rodando o b2g 1.4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uaa6OI5aopc
Por isso é possível chegar a conclusão de que sim, é possível usar swap.
Mas como se o código fonte do kernel fornecido pela Alcatel é defeituoso? usando a árvore de desenvolvimento android do projeto b2g, pelo processo de construção tradicional do repositório GIT do b2g:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Building_and_installing_Firefox_OS
Apenas alterando o arquivo de coniguração do kernel para habilitar o suporte a swap e compilando normalmente.
Parece até que algumas pessoas usando as builds pré-compiladas do projeto Vegnux conseguem ter o swap habilitado por padrão, mas já tentei todas as builds que tenho aqui (stock da Vivo, stock da Movistar, 1.2 stable, 1.3 stable e duas do 1.4) e nenhuma tem essa característica.
Escrevi tudo isso através de alguns dias de tentativas de habilitar o swap no meu aparelho sem sucesso. E infelizmente não tenho como compilar o b2g pelo repositório GIT pois não atendo os requisitos de hardware do computador nem tenho conexão banda larga para baixar os 12GB de arquivos necessários.
Alguém poderia usar isto pra fazer ao menos a tentativa, afinal, encontrei pouca documentação sobre o assunto, especialmente em pt-BR.
Espero que isso ajude a alguém que tenha como fazer outras tentativas de habilitar o SWAP no Alcatel One Touch Fire.

Rapaz, tenho gerado imagens para meu Alcatel através do repositório Git do B2G.
Quais configurações vc acha que devem ser alteradas antes de realizar o Build? Pelo o que entendi do seu texto seria o '''.config''' no Raiz do B2G, mas nesse arquivo só possui este conteúdo:
MAKE_FLAGS=-j3
GECKO_OBJDIR=/home/anderson/firefoxos/B2G/objdir-gecko
DEVICE_NAME=hamachi
DEVICE=hamachi
Não existe a opção '''CONFIG_SWAP''' nele. Pesquisando essa opção no conteúdo dos arquivos, o mais próximo que encontrei foi:
./kernel/arch/arm/configs/msm7627a_defconfig
./kernel/arch/arm/configs/msm7627a-perf_defconfig
Mas, não tenho ideia se ia funcionar. Infelizmente não estou com muito tempo este mês para pesquisar, mas se me indicar o que alterar, eu faço aqui e deixo compilando, depois a gente conversa via "Mensagem particular" aqui no fórum (ou outra forma).

  • Como bloquear solo parte del texto

    Hola:
    Perdon si mi pregunta es simple, pero soy nuevo y no encuentro la forma de bloquear parte del texto de mi documento, de forma de otro usuario con Acrobat pueda colocar datos (editar) ciertos lugares de dicho documento, pero que no pueda cambiar el resto. No deseo usar Forms. ¿ Hay alguna manera de hacerlo ?. Un ejemplo tipico sería el caso de una planilla donde el que toma el documento ponga su nombre en un lugar reservado y luego lo imprima.
    Muchas gracias.
    Roberto

    Roberto, es dificil jugar al baloncesto pero sin usar una bola de baloncesto, mas en serio, lo recomendable sería usar algun campo de formulario. El documento lo puedes colocar como fondo o marca de agua, y luego añadir un campo de texto (un campo de formulario, inevitablemente) donde se pueda escribir, esta parte no tiene alternativas salgo que le indiques al usuario cómo usar la herramienta de retoque de texto, un tampón, etc., y donde hacerlo.
    El PDF resultante lo puedes proteger con contraseña pero permitir que escriba en ese campo de formulario que has situado por encima.

  • Part of left side of screen is black

    I bought this mac through ebay some time ago now. After a few months of use, i noticed the left side of the screen flickering/twitching. It gradually got worse till the majority the left side of the screen was completely distorted. Now, there's a dead space there, and when i take a print screen, the image comes out fine.

    Hi,
    Sorry for late response, I'm not sure if you have resolve the issue by now. From what you are describing there can be only 2 things wrong : 1 - video card or 2 - the logic board now if you are in my area (orange county, CA)I could help you do the hardware repair so you save some money, otherwise Apple will charge you almost as much as getting another one, for fixing issue like this...
    Or if you are handy with hardware repairs try to get another part and swap it your self.

  • Big Bang XPower II no longer boots, no video

    I'm having issues with my Big Bang XPower II not booting. First, some background information...
    For a couple months my computer has been acting strangely. My monitors would randomly go to sleep, and nothing would wake them (mouse movement, keyboard presses, etc.) In addition, my computer would be no longer accessible remotely through RDP, SFTP, Chrome Remote Desktop, etc. Although if I was for example watching a video I could still hear it playing. Note, this happens when the computer is being used, and while sitting idle, even with the monitors off (turn them on and they immediately sleep). The only way to recover from this was to forcibly reboot the computer.
    I suspected the graphics card but had no time to test it (I'm in the middle of my last semester of classes for my Computer Science undergrad.) Then a few days ago when this happened and I rebooted the computer per usual I got a message stating "System BIOS detected a non-Windows 8 Logo graphic card. There is no GOP (Graphics Output Protocol) support detected in this card. I reset BIOS settings to default and only changed the things that I needed to adjust to be able to boot, and was able to successfully boot after that. At this point I was pretty sure by graphics card was bad, so I ordered a new one. I got that message one more time, and then last night my monitors went to sleep randomly again but this time when I rebooted I heard one longer beep followed by two shorter beeps, and then nothing. I tried a few times cutting power, rebooting, etc. to no avail. It was late at night and I was getting the new graphics card today so I just left it alone for the night.
    Fast forward to now; I installed the new graphics card but I'm still having the same issue. Now I'm thinking it might be the motherboard. So far I've tried disconnecting all USB devices and SATA cables, I've tried all four of my RAM cards one at a time in each of the 8 slots (when they are in the secondary slots the computer never POSTS or beeps or anything just shows "60" on the 7-segment display, when they are in the primary there is no change, still 3 beeps.) I've also tried both the new and old graphics card in each of the PCI-E slots, as well as different PCI-E cables from the PSU. I've tried changing the BIOS switch from A to B and using the Multi-Bios button and I've cleared CMOS for all three BIOSs (I believe they're each a different version.) At this point I'm out of ideas. When the beeps occur the 7-segment reads "d6" if BIOS A is selected or "dE" if BIOS B is selected. Here's two links to videos I took of all the numbers it runs through before showing the temperature:

    Any help is greatly appreciated. I really need to get this fixed ASAP - it's critical I have the PC to use for my assignments and I don't really have any time to delay. Unfortunately the only other PC I have access to is a 7 year old laptop, so I don't have a ton of parts to swap out with. Also, I haven't yet overclocked this system or anything as I need it to be stable, so there wouldn't be any issues from that. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Try to connect the monitor to the board instead of  the card and see how it runs with the integrated graphics of the i7.
    Next step to try would be removing 3 sticks of ram and running one stick at a time incase ram is bad.  Look at your motherboard manual which slot to use when running one stick. Don't forget to clear CMOS first.
    X79 chipset has no on-board graphics, but as I said I tried installing a brand new card with no difference.
    I also mentioned I tried each of my 4 RAM sticks in each of the 8 slots, and I cleared CMOS. I wrote a lot though so I don't blame you for missing that.

    1 long 2 short beeps means VGA card not detected.
    Are you using UEFI Win8.1?
    This message only shows when you enable windows8/8.1 feature in BIOS (for UEFI OS), and the VGA card do not supports UEFI.
    BIOS default should be "windows8/8.1 feature disable", you can check this setting.
    Yes, I am using UEFI with Windows 8.1. I've been doing so with that graphics card for over a year, and I cleared CMOS (sucessfully, because I had LEDs turned off and turn on when power is restored enabled, and after clearing CMOS both of those reverted) so the Windows 8/8.1 Feature should be set to disable anyways. Since I have no working video output I have no way of verifying or changing anything.

  • G4 Flat Panel power problem

    Hi
    We recently had a power cut and since then I have been unable to start up our imac flat panel.  We have tried the fuse, plugged it in somewhere else and checked all the leads etc, but hold the power button on and nothing.  I changed the PRAM batery about 3-4 years ago and have not had this problem before this occasion.  Does anyone know if there is an internal fuse or a reset button etc

    The reset often tried after a power outage or other interrupt, requires one to follow instructions in the maintenance support article regarding a reset of the Power Management Unit (PMU) as follows.
    •Resetting the iMac (flat panel G4) Power Management Unit (PMU)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1712
    This article has a few helpful images of the computer and basic explanations on how to do the procedure.
    Other more in-depth items may require more take-apart know-how and techniques which will be more tedious and would follow instructions such as those outlined in an official iMac G4 Apple repair manual in PDF. These may be hard to get. While I have three iMac G4 17" 1.25GHz desktop computers, none of them are up and running at this time; my original one has a power issue and I believe it may be a failed power supply. Of the other two, one was acquired as non-running parts computer, but it has a good power supply, optical drive, display, and a few other parts. The third iMac in my instance, needs a replacement optical drive; so while I have three of these, all of them would require disassembly to remedy their various issues.
    When you take apart one of these, be sure to have some new Thermal Paste, a new/fresh clock Battery, a means of re-torquing the internal chassis to required specification, and remember to remove all the old thermal paste from the heat transfer conduits before re-assembly. If you can get the correct Service Manual for this iMac G4 (several in series) which was an official Apple document, in PDF, it would be of great help in troubleshooting the issues. Some of the suggested repair procedures require access to known-good parts; in part to swap out and help find out what is not wrong with it.
    Online sources of information vary, as do their worthiness and value as problem solving tools, depending on depth of the troubles involved. Even a site with info such as this iFixit may offer tips for some situations: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iMac_G4 -- And the xlr8yourmac article on how to Take-apart iMac G4 for Drive and Ram upgrades has a few others: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/imac_g4/imacg4_takeapart.html
    There are test ports or holes under the first bottom plate cover on the iMac G4 where one could use a multimeter and small tipped probes to check for correct voltage outputs from the computer power supply. There is a chance one of the power supply transformer voltage outputs may have failed.
    Sometimes, a power failure may coincide with other parts failures; in example, a hard disk drive on its last legs may be affected by a power surge or outage timed upset, and that contains startup disk OS files.
    To find a qualified and trained technician who can and will help repair these older models, can be a problem in and of itself; several shops also sell new hardware and their answer for an old unique computer, is to get a new not-so unique model from them. With the correct Service Manuals, you could eventually repair one of these, if you can get good quality replacement parts at low cost and do the work yourself.
    Hopefully this helps somewhat.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can I make a bootcamp Partition on the HDD on an iMac 21.5" with SSD and HDD

    I am planning to buy an iMac 21.5" . I am not sure yet, whether to get one with ssd and hdd pre-installed. But I would like to, cause it's much faster.
    In the manual of the boot camp it says that if you have more than one internal hard drive and you wanna put bootcamp on one that isn't the first, you have to remove the other hard drives. That would be hard cause you can't open the iMac easily. And especially not without loosing guarantee.
    So my question is. Has anyone installed windows with bootcamp on an hdd partition on an iMac pre-installed with ssd (on which is macos x) and hd(on which I want my windows partition and the Mac files such as photos and videos)? It must be possible without opening the iMac right?
    Thanks for your help.

    27" iMac: Apple's SSDs are still quite slow
    Community Search: "iMac SSD"
    That article is misleading to an extent and applied to the workstations with 4 internal drives and easy to access - and misleading as to why other drives had to be removed etc.
    As for warranty, it use to be a customer upgraded part to swap out hard drives. All that is needed to disconnect the data cable going to the drive.

  • Personal LaserWriter NTR

    I was just recently given an old Apple Personal LaserWriter NTR. I tried connecting it to my Performa 200 running Mac OS 7.5.5 with 10 MB of RAM. Out of the ten times I tried once I got a message stating "scanner motor malfunction." It never printed once while connected to that Mac. I then hooked it up to my Power Mac 5260/100 running Mac OS 8.6 which was able to print to it. When I attempted to enable download unlimited fonts I again got a error message regarding the scanner motor. I then ordered a kit from fixyourownprinter.com to replace the scanner motor. I then attempted to power the printer on & it turned on but all of the lights were off. According to the manual I got with it this indicates that the control board/density controller board isn't getting power. I have tried both fixyourownprinter.com & eBay. Neither have the replacement part I need. I would buy a Personal LaserWriter NT density control board but then I won't have a parallel port connector (I have PCs too). What else should I try to attempt to fix this printer?

    Thurletta,
    I appreciate the note of confidence. Two years ago
    it was Henry that answered all the hard questions for
    me.
    My Laserwriter Select 360 has been a great machine
    but toner cartidges for it now cost more than buying
    a LW 16/600 ethernet capable printer AND toner
    cartridge combined.
    Find inexpensive parts to swap out you will over
    spend on your NTR. That was our first laser printer
    and I have 5 parts machines but I find it hard to
    take the time to tinker with them when newer printers
    are so cheap. My hat is off to you for getting as
    far as you have. Dismantling a parts machine will be
    your best education.
    Jim
    As for AppleTalk issues, Grant's comment about
    disconnecting and restarting is the best guarantee of
    renewed cooperation. I always turn off laser
    printers when not in use because too long of a delay
    between use will allow older versions of AppleTalk to
    lose track of the device and then a reboot is
    required.
    I, too, always turn off everything after once having a lightning hit zap an LCII and modem through the phone cord.
    Also, a belated acknowledgement and "thank you" to Henry.
    My NTR is still going strong after "playing dead" a few months ago, and there is an old NT in the closet awaiting harvesting for parts should surgery become necessary. (Fortunately, it revived itself before I had to start taking the NT apart.)
    The person who gave me the 360 also gave me eight cartridges so I'm good to go for a while on that. Both the NTR and 360 are so far working with the AsanteTalk bridge.
    Thanks again for your help...I just hope we can somehow help the other fella who is still trying to get his NTR to work properly. My only suggestion for him is to contact olde-mac-milt on eBay who specializes in parts for old Macs to see if he has any ideas for getting his NTR to work with the 520.

  • Clearing CMOS - Re-setting BIOS

    Hi,
    Would one of you moderator chaps please consider posting a sticky containing all the steps required to successfully re-set the BIOS. It would certainly save a lot of typing on this forum. Thanks.  )
    I was also thinking that forum members should be encouraged to state their general location. It would seem to me that if any "Batch" problems exist on MSI products then we could narrow it down to areas of distribution across the globe. Many times on this forum I've seen exactly the same hardware used with completely different results - with exactly the same settings! Problems are usually down to user error, I know, but there's that odd occasion when we're all at a loss.
    Mind you, I can already see the error in my reasoning. Todays computer building is by no means an exact science - there are just too many variables. I think I just shot myself in the foot  - well................. it was just a thought!  :D          
    Axel  :D

    I don't wish to add any stickies ATM but I have posted comprehensive details several times. You could always search by clicking on my name, and search for posts by GlennVidia there is a Magnifying glass icon that will show all my posts consecutively. The last one was about a month or so ago, copy and save it to a notepad and save it in My Documents if you want... I will get around to something later..but it might take a while.

    Many times on this forum I've seen exactly the same hardware used with completely different results - with exactly the same settings!
    That is a fine example of a condition known as parametric differences, Bonz and I have explained this manufacturing limitation several times in this forum.
    I manufacture circuit boards for a living so I see parametric differences on a larger scale. Many board designs have controlled impedence traces where a specified copper thickness, width, length are desired to stay within a tolerance dictated by the application of the circuit. The tolerance is specified by the engineer and there is a very small allowance for fluctuation within that tolerance spec.
    It then becomes the PCB vendors challenge to make adjustments to allow for manufacturing processes, such as starting with a specified copper whieght and plating up to the desired thickness or starting with the actual desired copper thickness. Acid etching is how circuits are formed on conventional PCB's.
    While the width of a trace can be maintained to within 20% or much better of it's original thickness from the original artwork, there will be an undercut of sorts.
    When the board goes in the tank to be etched, it was previously coated by a etch resistant film that was exposed by UV light and a negative or positive image of the copper features such as traces, pads for SMD's (Surface Mount Devices).
    The area under the resist film is protected from the acid. The other areas that are to be removed, simply rinse away. While the resist sits on top of a copper feature, the edges are unprotected, hence the term undercut. We could be at the low end or high end of the specified tolerance.
    While we are still within tolerance it can have an effect when the board is assembled with other components that are manufactured with even tighter restrictions but again a given tolerance. Take a look inside your PC and you see the grand scale it becomes. We can build two or more PC's side by side and eachone witll behave differently, while unnoticable most times, voltage, leakage, response differences will often be negligable, it can often be bang up in your face odd behavior.
    Then comes the game called swaporama when you can't quickly identify the peripheral or component causing the problem. That's what causes novice builders the most headaches because they do not have the overhead of additional parts to swap in and out.
    Now we are very close to the pinnacle in design, manufacturing and performance and pushing new limits quarterly, things are much more sensitive to parametric differences than they ever where.

    This messege repeat itself continuously until i powered down the machine. I need help to figure out what was wrong with our ultra 5. Thank you.

    Try re-seating components that allow. That may take care of the problem. If not, you're probably going to be looking for some parts to swap...

  • My SSD probably died, but any help is appreciated just in case

    I have an Asus Zenbook with a "hybrid" drive, that is, it has a 24GB SSD and a 500GB HDD. The HDD holds the UEFI-part, /boot, swap and /home while the SSD is /.
    Today, I started to get strange "Input/Output error"-messages for any command that wasn't already in memory; for example, "ls" would work as I had used it previously, "dmesg" wouldn't. I tried to shutdown the laptop properly, but that wouldn't work,
    Now when I try to boot the laptop, it takes ages to get to either the BIOS or grub2. BIOS sees the SSD on a separate SATA channel, but when I try to boot with grub I get a few "COMRESET failed errno=-16" messages, after it tells me it cannot find /dev/disk/by-uuid/$UUID-OF-ROOT-DRIVE. I can continue from there, but obviously without a working root it fails.
    I'm typing this from a Ubuntu USB stick - /dev/sda* is there (the HDD) and everything seems to be in order. /dev/sdb(1) is there are well, that's the USB stick. There's also /dev/sdc (no numbers), but trying to run cfdisk on it returns "FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive" while gparted says "Error opening /dev/sdc: No medium found".
    So I'm guessing the drive is dead, as strage as it is (this laptop is only a few months old), but any ideas how to fix it if possible are more than welcome.

    Sorry, that really doesn't apply. The laptop worked fine for a few months, now it just seems that /dev/sdc (well, that'd be /dev/sdb if I didn't run from USB) is gone/nonfunctional. That, and the fact that it takes like a minute to get to the BIOS or grub tells me that it's probably time to take it back to the shop.

  • Dv6108nr Won't run on battery (blinking charge light)

    I have a dv6108nr (it doesn't have the nVidia chipset - so it's likely not a chipset issue) that will not recognize any batteries - even batteries that work in other systems.
    If I run the battery check, it shows no battery detected.  If I pull the cord, it will run for about 30 seconds and then the BIOS must notify the system that the battery is drained and it shuts off.  The light flashes constantly even when the system is off if I have a battery installed.
    Any ideas on what parts to swap out?  I thought of maybe swapping the DC jack board.  I've got tons of spare parts for these things as I have two other completely failed dv6000 because of the nVidia fiasco.  My other theory is that HP is being unscrupulous with their BIOS and making it deny any batteries older than a few years.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm.. I just took the whole laptop apart and when I had it apart, it was actually working on battery.  I'm thinking possibly the motherboard was moving when you'd put a battery in because the one spot for a screw was broken out.
    I've glued that now and everything seems good.
    Also, in case anyone is curious, the dv6108nr (which originally shipped with a Core Solo) can be upgraded easily to a Core 2 Duo.  I threw in a spare 1.73 Core 2 Duo and it's running like a champ.  I also installed a screen with a web camera, and that works too.

  • [Solved] Can boot fine, but all TTYs are frozen at UDev

    I've only noticed this recently when I was trying out some new WMs, and tried to change back to openbox.
    I'm using the catalyst driver from the catalyst repo.
    Upon boot, everything works fine. The first few outputs are at a stupid resolution, but when it hits the "Udev processing" part, it swaps to the proper resolution, and boots just fine.
    However, when I try to access one of the TTYs, they are all still stuck at the silly resolution, with the status of the Udev statement stuck at [Busy]. I then can't swap back to X.
    Here is my /etc/inittab:
    # /etc/inittab

    I own an Nvidia card, so I can't help you much, but according to the Catalyst wiki page, "xorg-server 1.12 is in [extra] repo, catalyst does not support it so please use [xorg111] repo]". So you *do* have Xorg v1.11, right?
    $ pacman -Qi xorg-server
    You should try the open source radeon driver instead. Or are you that much into gaming on Linux? Open source drivers offer some 3D support but for gaming you're probably better off dual booting with Windows. By switching to radeon you'll also get rid of that "silly resolution", as catalyst doesn't support KMS.
    PS: Here's my /etc/inittab:
    id:3:initdefault:
    rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
    rs:S1:wait:/etc/rc.single
    rm:2345:wait:/etc/rc.multi
    rh:06:wait:/etc/rc.shutdown
    su:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin -p
    c1:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty --noclear -n -l /usr/local/sbin/autologin -s 38400 tty1 linux
    c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 -s 38400 tty2 linux
    c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 -s 38400 tty3 linux
    ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
    I got rid of those newbie comments a long time ago.
    By having just 3 tty's it keeps my X session on Ctrl+Alt+F4 (because sometimes I find it frustrating to cop a feel for my F7 - especially in the dark, as I have a black keyboard...). The "-n -l /usr/local/sbin/autologin" part is from this wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Au … al_console (C login program) and the "--noclear" parameter removes some of the flickering during boot (the boot messages stay on screen).

  • Cambiar producto Adobe para visualizar PDF via web

    Buenas!
    Tengo Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro y no me permite visualizar algunos ducumentos PDF online, para ello me he instalado Adobe Reader XI pero cuando me meto a la opción de "Opciones de explorardor de web" veo que apunta al *.exe de Acrobat. No se como cambiar el comportamiento web para que lo habra con la versión Reader XI
    Solo necesito cambiar el comportamiento via web.
    Muchas gracias.
    Un saludo!

    Las instrucciones de como habilitar aplicaciones, add-ons, para navegadores:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/es/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html
    No funcionan? He comprobado en IExplorer XI, que son iguales a las de IE8 y 9 del documento.
    Si configuras el Reader XI para IExplorer y lo puedes utilizar, podrías seguir usando el Acrobat 9 Pro para abrir PDFs por defecto.
    De todas maneras, dado que Adobe desaconseja utilizar dos productos similares como Reader y Pro en la misma maquina y sesión, lo ideal sería actualizar Acrobat 9 Pro a XI.
    (Otra opción es instalar en sesion de Administrador o de otro usuario Acrobat XI, y en una abierta el Reader).
    Si el tema queda resuelta o tu pregunta contestada, marca alguna respuesta, para facilitar su consulta a otros usuarios. Gracias.
    Adobe Technical Support does not recommend having multiple versions of Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed on the same machine. Acrobat and Adobe Reader have numerous components that have similar functionality and can cause conflicts on a machine. The most prevalent among these conflicts involves the plug-ins for rendering PDF files in the browser, PDFMaker inside of Office Applications, and the Adobe PDF printer.
