Installation on a DELL Inspiron 6400 Laptop - PROBLEMS!!!!

Hi All,
I'm a newbie to Solaris 10 and decided to install the OS on my laptop with XP, OpenSUSE 11, Open Solaris and finally Solaris 10. When i have finished the complete installation, Solaris will re-start and i select Solaris 10 and eventually i get a sendmail error message, which i Ignore and i wait for the desktop login screen to appear before i log in. However, im constantly waiting and nothing happens and there is no GUI and its just hangs. Is anyone experiencing this problem and if they have managed to fix this i would very much appreciate all the help i can get!!
Regards,
Sunil

I found this website very helpful while I was installing my Solaris software and encountered some problems. You can also check it out in here. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0544

Ipod to Dell Inspiron 6400 problems

Hello
I am trying to connect my 4th gen Ipod to my new Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop and connecting it just makes the pc become very slow. If i wait long enough (an hour or so) it'll come up with Itunes which says the ipod needs formatting, but then crashes as it loads the ipod updater. The Ipod will still work with my old desktop but i want to transfer it to the laptop.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I spoke with Dell and they said i needed to get a fix from Apple, but i can't seem to find anything on the website.
Any help would be appreciated

How do I wake up Dell Inspiron 6400 after closing the lid? [SOLVED]

I'm running Arch on a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop (same as Inspiron e1505). When I close the top to an angle of less than about 30 degrees, the machine goes into some kind of sleep state and Arch is suspended (black screen, no response to anything). It may be easy to wake up Windows from such a condition but what must I do get Arch back and working, short of having to reboot?

RobF, it's hard to say, without knowing what your setup is... GNOME, KDE? Any power management software installed such as Powersaved or hibernation scripts?
If you're still having troubles with it, check out the Inspiron 6400 wiki I've been working on. It includes step-by-step instructions on setting up hibernation/suspend features and I can verify it works on my own 6400.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_Inspiron_6400
I'm using KDE, and I haven't specifically installed any power management software aside from what came with the Arch base install and KDE.
I went through your Dell Inspiron 6400 Wiki (great work! I'll add to it) and installed acpid and powersave and hoped to install kpowersave or kpowersave-devel but neither of these will compile. kpowersave requires unsermake-svn but unsermake-svn will not compile because of the error: "unsermake-svn is not available for the 'i686' architecture," and: "Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD such as arch=('i686')." So much about that.
Trying to build the package kpowersave-devel also aborts with the error:
Checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2 and < 4.0) (headers an ..... r installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...
So much about that.
About kpowersave-devel, srabd commented a month ago: "It doesn't compile now, but compiles if you use unsermake instead of make in the two final lines." Wonderful! But as I reported above, "unsermake-svn is not available for the 'i686' architecture."
I seem to be stuck. Any ideas how I can get around this?

Strange bluetooth problem dell inspiron 1545 laptop

Hello friends, I've got a full working install of arch on my dell inspiron 1545 laptop. At first, bluetooth was working with the blueman-applet. After an upgrade to bluez(i suppose), it suddenly stopped working. The laptop bluetooth is on, the device is discoverable, it even successfully recognizes the phone I'm trying to pair. But earlier, it was showing the phones name but now it only shows the mac address in blueman and in "hcitool scan" output, it shows:

Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop wont connect to router anymore

Eveything was great untl I had to change the encryption code on the router, now I cant get the laptop to connect to the router anymore. Nothing was changed on the computer and the only thing that was changed on the router was the encryption code. The Dell laptop has a 1370 mini wireless card in it running windows XP, and I updated it last night to the latest driver. My Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop has no problem connecting to it. The wireless router is a WRT54GS. I have also started wireless zero configuration and checked the box to let windows control my wireless. And the box in properties that says "Enable IEEE 802.1authentication for this network" is not checked.
Sometimes when I try to connect it, it will say connected when it isnt connected to anything. Other times when I try to connect it will connect to another wireless internet in the neighborhood that doesnt have any encryption. And then other times I get the message that says "windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network". I got it to connect when I took the the encryption off the router but for some reason it doesnt want to connect with encryption on it. I am using WEP 64bit. I checked all the settings on both the laptops and the wireless settings are exactly the same. I dont understand why mine will connect and the other one wont. Any ideas?

You can try manually adding the network on your computer, Also change the SSID on the router if it is linksys(default).
To add the network manually try the below mentioned settings.......
Click on Start and go to the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, right click on Wireless Network Connection disable it and then Re-enable it .
Right click on Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties,Now on this window, click on the second tab Wireless Network and give a check mark on "Use windows to configure my wireless" and then remove all the network names present in the Preferred Networks Window. Then click on OK...
Right click on the Wireless Network Connection again and click on View Available Wireless Networks and try to re-connect to your network...
Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/security key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...
It will connect...
That should resolve the issue for you.

I currently have a DELL Inspiron E1707 Laptop and I connect to the internet via my Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router. For the past 2 days I can connect to the internet but sites take forever to load or just don't load at all. I went to Intel PRO/set Wireless Troubleshooter and the event viewer says: CTA Plugin is not installed or supported. I have googled this problem and still have not found a solution or where I can install the plugin. I did find that this is somewhat common and has to do with the CISCO system/Linksys Router. I hope one of your specialists has a solution to this problem. Please get back to me regarding this issue. Thank You!

Change the wireless channel from 6 to 9 ...
Also under advanced wireless settings you can change few more settings ....
Change the Fragmentation
Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"....

[Solved]No Ethernet or Wireless to work on Dell Inspiron 6400 E1505.

The Dell Inspiron 6400 E1505 wiki says ethernet should work out of box. It is not. I am trying to install wireless drivers. I checked fw-cutter during installation but i guess i have to install broadcom-wl along with it. Make command is not found (probably not installed) How can get ethernet connection to work?
Thanks.

HP ELite L2201x and Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop?

Hi, I bought an HP Elite L2201x Monitor, and I want to connect it to my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop.
I got a display port to HDMI port cable but my laptop doesn't recognize at all the HP monitor, it is like if it were not there!
Any advice? I thought about using the port I use to conect to a proyector, but idk if that makes sense at all!
Thanks for your help!!!

>I got a display port to HDMI port cable but my laptop doesn't recognize at all the HP monitor, it is like if it were not there!
display port and HDMI are two completely different solutions.
Also a display port source can deliver hdmi signals (so this way the cable will work), a hdmi source often (always?) can't support dp signals.
This is how I understand this FAQ:
From http://www.displayport.org/faq/;
Q: I am the owner of a new 27″ iMac, which I was planning to use as a high- resolution display for an HDMI equipped Blu-Ray player. I have purchased the DP-to-HDMI adaptor after being advised by Apple technical that it would function as an input, but having tried it, discovered that the device will only OUTPUT. My question is, why won’t the adaptor pass signal the other way, and what is the adaptor doing if it’s not powered, and it’s tiny, that it can’t do backwards?
A: DisplayPort-to-HDMI adaptors and DisplayPort-to-DVI adapters are very simple and only operate one way. For instance, when a DP-to-HDMI adaptor is connected to a PC that supports DP++ (multimode) capability, the PC senses the presence of the adaptor and sends HDMI signals over the DisplayPort connector rather than DisplayPort signals. No signal conversion is performed by the HDM adaptor. HDMI signals are merely passed through. The unique DisplayPort adaptor capability enables the PC to connect to a variety of displays via the DisplayPort connector including HDMI, DVI, and VGA. VGA adaptors are more complex and perform active signal conversion from DisplayPort to VGA. These adaptors also operate only one way. Unfortunately, HDMI does not support conversion to other display formats as does DisplayPort.

Solaris 8 on dell inspiron 7000 laptop

Hi gurus...
I need your help to install solaris 8 on my inspiron 7000 laptop.
I'm able to install until it wants to test the X window.
I tried all selection for the screen size and type but still gave me blank screen when I tested.
this notebook use ATI Rage3D LT-Pro which is I now is recognize by solaris since I could run the solaris with external monitor connected with my notebook.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Eric

What happens when you press Fn + whatever key it is to direct output to the external monitor? There could be a chance that the Solaris driver is autmatically trying to direct output to the external port. If so you may be able to override that.

Dell Inspiron 1520 - disk problem

Hi. I have Dell Inspiron 1520 and even if I set hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda or 255, disk still makes clicking noises. Hdparm command fixed that in ubuntu, here it doesn't. Is there any other way to stop clicking? Ty.

Disabling disk power mangement in the BIOS worked for me. If that doesn't to the trick, is the hdparm command getting run at every boot (appending it to /etc/rc.local is an easy way)?
cheers,

[Solved] Black screen - Installation issues on Dell Inspiron 1720

Hi,
I'm new to Archlinux, and i want to post my experience/issues of my first installation:
I performance the core installation (base + devel packages and wireless tools as extra package)
relevant hardware/drivers used:
b44 for broadcom nic (wired)
iwl3945 for my wireless nic
intel g965 graphics card (intel GM965 express chipset - xf86-video-intel driver)
Installation went ok till i had to upgrade the system:
pacman -Suy (after package synchronization)
glibc: /usr/bin/tzselect exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zdump exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zic exists in filesystem
After some research on the wiki i found that i had to query the packages to know if those files are owned by a program or not (if no pakcage owns those i could remove them, but it was not the case)
pacman -Qo tzselect
pacman -Qo zdump
pacman -Qo zic
All were owned by the package tzdata:
so i reinstalled the package tzdata:
pacman -S tzdata
Has this to be filed as a bug or is this a stupid newbie error? (did the installation on a virtual machine, on a laptop (twice) and always got this error)
After that i was able to upgrade the system.
Following that i installed the video card drivers:
pacman -S xf86-video-intel and i rebooted the system.
After reboot i got the grub screen, booted the system and got a black screen (last thing i saw as something like loading udevevents..)
Googling again and looking the forums here, i read that i had to chroot my environment and update the system again (pacman -Suy -> which did not help).
Soo after some more searching i found 2 things:
- https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KM … odesetting : i added this in menu.lst: nomodeset
- i blacklisted the intel driver
Rebooted and i my graphics were working again.
So later on i'll test if the parameter solved my problem, or blacklisting the driver.
- i'll unblacklist the driver and reboot -> if it works then i know it's that parameter
- if not ok, i'll blacklist the driver and remove the parameter from the menu.lst
I hope to find what's causing the issue.
Anyone having issues with the intel driver?
Thanks for sharing your experience/info.

Getting a little bit further, it requires a lot of configuration to get what you want..
- I just installed fluxbox
- added my user to the sudo group (allowing to reboot)
- installed Slim
What's i've noticed also is that when you select an interface in etc/rc.conf, for example, eth0, and it's not connected at bootup, you lose like 10 seconds before the boot process proceeds.
If you out-comment that line, you get a red line (error) saying that no interface is definded.
I guess i'll just have to disable the network daemon at startup and install some kind of network connection manager for my wireless at logon.
