Install over LAN

Excuse me if posting under wrong subforum,the question is more general oriented:
anyone can point to some good basic tutorial/howto (independent, not specific to any distro) about how to install linux over LAN from one PC with working linux distro to another PC without cdrom and floppy-just over LAN?
Any help appreciated.

I never really tried it out, but the Knooppix-Livecd provides a PXE Server for the Local network. Just boot knoppix an a pc with cdrom and start the PXE-Server. Start up your cd-less pc and boot into pxe. You'll have a full functional linux-environment running. From there you can install any distro.

Has anyone successfully used the serial-over-lan feature in ipmitool?

The IPMI hardware in Apple's Intel Xserves ostensibly supports serial-over-LAN access via ipmitool. Attempting to access it with ipmitool doesn't appear to work, however; the command
ipmitool -H hostname -U username sol activate
simply returns without entering a serial session. I am able to perform other queries on the same interface with ipmitool, however. Is there some setting that I must enable in order to permit the above command to succeed?

I have version 2.0.2 installed. The firmware is not up to date (its boot ROM is at version XS11.0080.B01); however, I never was able to figure out how to update it (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1569860&tstart=0). Querying the bmc info with ipmitool does work; it reports firmware revision 1.2.8. No manual changes were made within /dev to my knowledge.

Satellite M40X - cannot install the LAN driver

Heya,
I wonna install a LAN with my notebook and my home-pc. There is just this one problem, that my M40X don't like it. I connectet my homepc and the toshiba with a cross-over calble. It worked at my home pc. Both winXP. The toshiba one shows me "cannot find network-cable".
I installed the driver u can get here in the page, nothing. all firewalls are down.
I know that there is a patch for win2000 but not for winXP.
can someone help, please.

Hi
Are you sure that the cable is plugged solid?
Did you try to connect the unit with different cable?
In my opinion you can try to run the Toshiba Pc diagnostic tool and ConfigFree and check the result.
Sadly, I dont have any informations about some patches
Bye

Firebird connection problem over LAN

Hi, people this is my 7th day i fight with firebird on Arch to work on my LAN in work.
The database is working on localhost when i go ./islq and select * all is ok and i see
all that crap in my fdb base.
At first i must say that port 3050 and 3051 are open and all other things that i configured
like ssh, nomachine and murmur are working and i can connect to them even over internet.
But when i try connect to database over lan i got connection refuse errors and info that cant connect
to database.
Firebird is 2.1.3 CS installed from official tarball from firebirdsql.org
Before Arch on server was CentOS and firebird was working fine
i changed the os because i love Arch and crappy CentOS was slow
and after some updates start to crashing.
Plz post your ideas and concepts i need help !!
PS. sorry for my English i hope you understand me

Did you try install firebird from AUR!?

Quicktime 7 Pro is not installing over Quicktime 7

I have Quicktime 7.7.6 for Windows installed on my computer.
I purchased Quicktime 7 Pro and received a registration number
I entered the registration number according to instructions
Quicktime 7 Pro did not install over Quicktime 7.
Help!

Entering the registration merely unlocks the Pro features of QuickTime Player 7. It doesn't replace it with a different version.

Need help installing Intel Lan Driver on a Satellite A100-011

I have bought Toshiba Satellite A100-011 notebook with Windows Vista. Now I downgraded the os to Windows XP. The problem is how to install Intel Lan Driver. I would really appreciate any help, because there is no .exe file and I have no idea, what to do with those files.

Hi buddy,
the files which are in the zip file are really the drivers but you have to install them manually which means you must go to the device manager, search for the LAN device which probably should have a exclamation mark and then right-click on it. After clicking a wizard should appear which leads you trough the installation process. When the wizard asks for drivers (if not already automatically found) then point on the folder where the driver files are located.
Then everything should be fine. :)

HP Software finds the printer, but then "the printer was unable to be installed over the network"

I have tried to search for a similar issue, but haven't had any success yet. I doubt I'm the first with this problem!
The computer is XP SP3, the printer is Deskjet 3050A, and it's a WPA-PSK WiFi.
The printer confirms that it is connected to the WiFi.
When I run the setup tool on the computer, at the Network Check point, the setup software finds the printer at the correct IP address. It is the only thing it discovers.
I click next, ànd after a minute or two, I get the error "the printer was unable to be installed over the wireless network" Click Retry to try installing the printer over the network again, or click Cancel to return to the connection options.
This just cycles with no progress. I have turned off the Windows Firewall and also disabled the AV. No change.
I can browse to the web interface of the printer - but still can't install the printer. It is listed in the Printers and Faxes as being Offline.
I'll try once again removing it, and re-adding it - but has anyone come across this problem before, please?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I am having a similar problem as well. The printer is recognized (most of the time) when I run the HP Network DIagnostic Utility. However, when I run the Add a Device setup program to install my wireless printer, it is NEVER recognized. I have even tried to use the advvanced serach to locate it using the IP listed in the Diagnostic Utility without any luck. As an aside, I was able to add the printer through windows just fine and am currently able to print to it, but would really like to add it using the HP installation so that I can configure the "scan to" settings again.
To make matters worse, I no longer have the USB cord that came with the printer because the device has been connected wirelessly for over a year now with minimal issues. Any help getting this brick back online and connected to my network would be much appreciated!

Printing broken for HP LJ1150 over Lan

All of sudden today I cannot print to my LaserJet 1150, although all other Win boxes can. The printer is connected via USB to a MacMini and shared over Lan. It's rather embarrassing.
When I attempt to print from say Safari, I get a dialog that says "Print - Error while Printing. OK"
Please help. Thanks people, as always.
I checked my Console.log and I attach what I see:

Thanks greg,
I had already Safe Booted and then re-added the printer by the time I had read your post. All is fine for now.
Thanks.
PS Prior to Safe-Booting, I had deleted/re-added the printer a number of times. Every time I attempted to print after adding the printer, it just locked and reproduced the error. Only after Safe-Boot did it come back alive.

FTP/SFTP/FISH (etc) slow file transfer rate over LAN

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with transferring files over my home network that has been bothering me for quite some time.
I have a 802.11n router which should provide me with the transfer rate up to 150 Mbps (afaik). When I download files from the Internet, 3 MB/s data transfer rate is of no problem.
However, when receiving or sending data over LAN, the transfer rate is much slower (1.8 MB/s).
My rough guess is (after reading some papers on this topic) that TCP protocol is causing this (its flow control feature to be exact), since TCP max window size is too small on Linux by default.
So, setting TCP max window size to a greater number should solve this.
I tried putting this:
# increase TCP max buffer size setable using setsockopt()
# 16 MB with a few parallel streams is recommended for most 10G paths
# 32 MB might be needed for some very long end-to-end 10G or 40G paths
net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
net.core.wmem_max = 16777216
# increase Linux autotuning TCP buffer limits
# min, default, and max number of bytes to use
# (only change the 3rd value, and make it 16 MB or more)
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216
# recommended to increase this for 10G NICS
net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 30000
# these should be the default, but just to be sure
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
in /etc/sysctl.conf but to no avail.
So either there is no problem with the max window size setting, or the Linux kernel ignores it (maybe because /proc is no longer supported?).
Thanks for any neat ideas.

I HAVE FF 3.6.21 DOES FF4 INSTALL OVER IT AND IMPORT ALL SETTINGS, BOOKMARKS, ETC AND CAN I GO BACK TO 3.6.21 IF I DON'T LIKE 4

I HAVE FF 3.6.21 Is FF4 a completely new install or does it install over the existing installation. Does it import settings, bookmarks, stored passwords, etc or do I have to add all that. Lastly, if I don't like FF4 can I go back to FF3 easily

Firefox 4 is no longer available. If upgrading, the only version that you can/should go to is Firefox 6.0.1, the current version. Firefox 7.0 is scheduled to be released on 09-27-2011 ('''''scheduled date is subject to change'''''). After Firefox 4.0, each upgrade replaces the prior version and the prior version is "abandoned" as far as security and stability updates are concerned.
Installing Firefox 6 will preserve your prior bookmarks, passwords, etc. You can/should make a backup of your personal information for safekeeping; what if you have a hard drive failure?
*See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information] '''''and''''' [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup]
To test the new version 6.0.1 and leave your current Firefox 3.6.21 intact, you can install Firefox Portable. Firefox Portable is not produced by Mozilla (but is based on Firefox released versions) and is not supported on this site -- has its own support forum (see below). Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive and keeps its profile (personal information) separate so that it does not interfere with your current Firefox installation settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.

Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer.

Acrobat Pro XI when installed over Acrobat 9 Pro removes LiveCycle Designer. Forms Central can't open LiveCycle Designer Forms so what do you do?
I have uninstalled XI and re-installed LiveCycle Designer only. On re-installation, I chose not to uninstall version 9 and to do a customer set up (not installing forms central).
LiveCycle is now working along with Acrobat ProXI

LiveCycle Designer is no longer distributed as part of the Acrobat release. I think it is available as a separate product. At this point, Acrobat provides the AcroForm type tools (kind of hard to get to, just as in some previous versions) and the option for Forms Central. The whole focus has changed. I suspect that others may be in the same situation of trying to get their forms to interact in Acrobat or Forms Central, but at this point I do not think there is any way to back Designer forms into either of the two current formats. Not much help, but a comment in any case.

Satellite L300-15V - The system cannot install Wireless LAN driver

After installed all drivers for that machine, the system shows that it need to install Wireless LAN driver, but i did!!! What's going on? Help! I can't make wireless net home!!!!!!

I assume you have tried to install the Realtek WLan driver. Is it right?
Go to this Toshiba WLan driver page:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
and check if you can install the Atheros Wireless LAN driver or the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 driver.

Installing over old version

I will be installing CS4 Design Premium over Photoshop CS3; Dreamweaver 8 and Flash Professional 8. Will the settings and preferences (and in the case of Photoshop, plug-ins and actions) of these existing applications be transferred to the new installation?

You're not installing OVER anything. The upgrades install exactly the
same way as the full retail versions. The older versions, with the
exception of Acrobat, which you'll be prompted to uninstall, are left
untouched.
Nothing is brought over from the older versions.

Can apex 4.2 be installed over Oracle XE10g DB?

Hi All,
I have to install Apex 4.2 over Oracle XE for reporting purposes. I got the APEX 4.2 downloadable from OTN. I followed the tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21673/otn_install.htm#BABHHIJB. Now when i ran +@apxrtins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/+ command and changed the admin password and tried to open the homepage of my DB and unlocked APEX_PUBLIC_USER account, it shown me that as blank. So i thought i need apex listener for this to open up. I installed apex Listener using java -jar apex.war command. Even now, i am getting a blank page over this, no error comes up over SQL PLUS for Apex Listener. I am not able to trouble shoot this .
So after doing all this a question came to my mind can apex be installed over ORACLE XE? I have read a forum where it says yes you can install but i did not find anything relevant more than that.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Avi,
I have to install Apex 4.2 over Oracle XE for reporting purposes. I got the APEX 4.2 downloadable from OTN. I followed the tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21673/otn_install.htm#BABHHIJB.
Why did you use the Installation Guide for APEX 4.1 when you are installing APEX 4.2?
Now when i ran @apxrtins SYSAUX SYSAUX TEMP /i/ command So you just want a runtime installation?
tried to open the homepage of my DB Which would that be?
Note two things:
1. The "database homepage" that ships with your XE is a special APEX application. This application will be lost as soon as you upgrade or reinstall APEX, because it has been "tailored" into the scenario XE using the APEX version that shipped with XE.
2. A runtime installation does not have the web based GUI (workspace login, application builder, etc.). It's really just the APEX runtime for deploying your applications (through a SQL interface like SQL*Plus or SQL Developer). If you want more, you need a development environment (full install).
A third aspect would be the question whether you've upgrade your APEX images to 4.2.
So after doing all this a question came to my mind can apex be installed over ORACLE XE?Yes, as documented in the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/install.42/e35123/pre_require.htm#BABFCFBC]Oracle Database Requirement section of the Installation Guide for 4.2, you can install APEX 4.2 on XE databases since 10.2 XE. I can assure you from personal experience that this actually works with and without APEX Listener.
Side note: You need APEX Listener if you want to use certain features like RESTful Webservices built into APEX 4.2.

X.25 over LAN using hme

Hi there,
I have to use hme for X.25 over LAN.
But I can't see the hme in the device list on x25tool screen.
I'm using SunLink X.25 9.0.
Is there any way ? Modify some config files ?
Thanks a lot

Hi franky,
I have just read your question with regards to configuring X.25
over a LAN connection.
What type/model of system is X.25 being configured on ?
Has the hme ethernet card been added recently to the system?
What devices do you have available to you ?
Are you referring to the list under:
Edit > Add Link > LAN > Device?
Do you see the hme definition under the Board definition list?
ie: Boards > Definition menu
If not add a new device specifying a symbolic name Path to device
which is /dev/hme, L for Lan device, number of lines/ports, MRU (usually 1515 for lan connections) and a Comment.
I hope that this helps;
Regards
Derek SUN-DTS
