A pretty common trick used on Biostar SFFs (which are even smaller than the 180) is to add two Zalman 80 x 15 OP1 fans to the side panels. Left panel toward the front and right panel toward the rear. This gives a good cross ventilation flow and when you run the fans on the low voltage setting-----it is totally silent---so you haven't added any noise to the overall setup.
Drops CPU temps 4-5 C. Might work on the 180. You can see an example of the side panel fans----as well as another possible solution, watercooling, here:----just scroll through all the pics to find the fan solution...SFF Fans and Watercooling

Try removing the powercord for a minute or two
if that does not help disconnect the connector to the front display for a minute or two.
Good luck ...

Oracle Cluster and libnnz10 problem - SOLVED!

Hi to all
I have some machines (XServe) with OSX 10.4.9 and Oracle 10.1.0.3.
In all the machines I follow the instructions find in this forum (the relink libnnz10.dylib trick) and all the databases runs very well.
Now I'm trying to instal two machines in cluster mode.
The node 1 is a clean machine. The node 2 is a machine that has a Oracle single instance running.
All the installation in cluster mode runs smooth and I made the same things that in a single instance (like the relink trick).
With all installed, the CRS daemon is running and the listeners is running (I run NETCA before runnig DBCA).
Using the DBCA works fine until the last step - for the database creation, the last script has a shutdown/startup command to run a full recompile of all packages and procedures in the database.
At this moment the installation fails (with end-of-communication channel). Looking in the logs, this is the _dyld libnnz10.dylib error.
Even after the crash in installation, I quit the DBCA and runs SQLPLUS. I connect in the database, try a startup (that fails with the error mentioned), reconnect again and make two commands : alter database mount; alter database open; (and it works).
I do this in the two nodes and the CRS daemon recognizes the running instances (with crs_stat -t I can see all online) and the database is running and in cluster (what I do in one instance appears in the other and the datafiles are the same), including failover tasks (like simulating a node down - the database still running).
But all tries to run the startup/shutdown commands fails. It fails always when the LMON processes try to start.
I recheck the installation, focusing in the relink trick with the libnnz10. When I use DBCA to install a single instance on node 1 or node 2 in the same ORACLE_HOME of the cluster, it runs fine (including startup/shutdown) - this make me think that all the database relink's are fine.
I try to relink the cluster. In installation it uses 4 makes and I redo this makes without the libnnz10. The makes runs well too, but the error continues (only using startup/shutdown in cluster database).
I'm doing the documentation of the process and will post it, but I want to resolve this issue.
Any ideas ?
Thanks to all

Hi to all.
I downloaded the 10.1.0.5 as soon I can - thanks to damjanp!
After the download, I follow all the instructions.
I stop the database, all the services and the cluster. Run the installer and it works fine.
When I try to make the post-installation tasks, I cannot startup the database (nor with the error that I was having). I received a Oracle Cluster Configuration Error...
I read all the logs and find 3 errors. I do not know if this occurs because of wrong environment variables.
The commands awk, touch and basename fails - the scripts try to find this commands in /bin (this commands in OSX stay in /usr/bin). I prefer make a link (ln -s) using root :
ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
ln -s /usr/bin/touch /bin/touch
ln -s /usr/bin/basename /bin/basename
When I done this, the cluster starts (ocssd.bin, crsd.bin e evmd.bin). But when I try to start the database, it fails (ORA-29702 : error occurred in Cluster Group Service operation) and srvctl gives me PRKH-1010 : Unable to communicate with CRS services. [OCR Error(Native : prsr_initCLSS:[21])].
To resolve this I use localconfig (user root) :
localconfig reset /<ORACLE_HOME>
After this, I shutdown all and restart the CRS services - and for my surprise the CRS automaticaly starts all the services (including the instances).
And the libnnz10 problema was gone!
I read the documentation and found that the "TNS - lost contact" problem in Tiger (yeah - Tiger) was resolved.
I think that 10.1.0.5 can runs on Tiger more easily.
The cluster are running fine now - I shutdown/startup the instance several times to test with no errors.
I will prepare a documentation to post in the Web about this installation. When I finish I post in this forum the link.
Thank's to all.

Ettercap and ipw2200 problem [SOLVED]

Hi, I used ettercap with wifi in monitor mode 5 months ago. I cant start ettercap with wifi today.
Ettercap writes:
FATAL ERROR: Inteface "wlan" not supported (802.11 plus BSD radio information header)
My wifi card: Intel Corp.|Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG (ipw2200)
Any suggestions.
What does mean 802.11 plus BSD radio information header.
Edit:
I have installed wireshark. It works fine.

i'm running a T43 as well so here's what i did
1) do a base install of arch
2) download the ipw-2200 arch linux package on a computer that has the internet working and save it to a usb flash key or burn it to a cd or something. or just plug in your ethernet on your laptop to a working internet hookup and download it with lynx. don't get it from the developer's site, you need the arch .pkg. file. here's the link:
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686/i … pkg.tar.gz
3) mount your usb key if you did it that way, as root do:
# mkdir /mnt/flash
# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/flash
change to the directory where you have the file:
# cd /mnt/flash
4) then do a
# pacman -A ipw2200-fw-3.0-1.pkg.tar.gz
5) do you have wireless_tools package installed? you need it for wireless to work. do
pacman -Q wireless_tools
, it should return the version if it's installed. if not download and install it the same way:
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/0.7.2/os/i686/w … pkg.tar.gz
6) install ifplugd:
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686/i … pkg.tar.gz
6) as root, edit /etc/rc.conf:
in modules, add ieee80211, ieee80211_crypt, and ipw2200.
check what your wireless adapter is named, it might be wlan0 or eth1 or eth0 depending, i've had it change. do a
iwconfig
to see what has wireless extensions. say it is eth1 then do:
in networking section of /etc/rc.conf, make it like this:
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)
in DAEMONS section add @ifplugd, and @network.
reboot your system, and you should see your wireless indicator light come on all by itself without you having to hit Fn+F5. let me know how that works.

Sagem f@st 800 and leopard problem solved!

Hi to every leopard users! : )
i finally solved the black screen caused by sagem f@st 800 usb modem!
first of all get the lastest drivers here:
http://lgsagem.free.fr/drivers_fast800.htm
then just follow these steps:
before installing drivers keep network in the pref panel opened with preferences saved.
1-before connecting the usb open network in pref-panel
2-click on your connection (mine is ppoe service but i renamed it)
3-save preferences (lock the padlock)
4-after saving preferences connect the usb to your mac!
i don' t know why everytime a turn on my mac the preferences are not saved i mean the padlock is open..well i finally understand that before connecting the usb i have to lock the padlock (everytime i find it open) and after doing this the usb works fine!!
also connecting and disconnecting it several times!
I really hope it works for you too! bye bye!

well it started giving me problem again...i really don' t know what could it be... so tomorrow i'll change the modem..that's the real solution...

GDM and OpenBox - Wallpaper and background problem [SOLVED]

I have a strange problem.
I am using GDM as login manager. And I am using OpenBox as a window manager.
As soon as GDM appears on the screen, my wifi connection is connected... so its good.
But, when I login Feh loads my background picture and it disappears after few seconds..... I solved this modifying the autostart script (adding the sleep).
Now background stays, BUT not always. Sometimes it disappears.... sometimes not.
It seams that this problem is appearing randomly.
So my question is:
Is there a way to disable Gnomes (GDMs) background color and picture after loading openbox through GDM?

It will apply to gnome as well, so if gnome-settings-daemon is your problem then you either need to choose one environment or perhaps do some settings adjustment with gconftool-2 when you log into each environment. I didn't try this but settings for openbox could be changed with a couple of gconftool-2 lines in autostart.sh, e.g.
gconftool-2 --set --type bool /desktop/gnome/background/draw_background "false" &
and settings for gnome could be changed from a DE-specific ("OnlyShowIn=GNOME") .desktop file or two in $HOME/.config/autostart.
I tried this, but it didnt work. Its a Gnome 3.
I dont understand second part of your post... ("OnlyShowIn=GNOME")

W540 + Dock station (40A20170EU), Audio and HDMI problems - SOLVED

Hello,
I have recently bought your dock station (40A20170EU) and as soon as I started using it the problems began:
- Audio jack on the dock is not working and is emitting static.
- As soon as I connect a display via HDMI port (on the dock station) my laptop display starts flickering (the display was tested on the PC and works).
I have updated the dock firmware to 2.21.000, nothing changed.
PS. The second monitor running from the docking stations display port is working fine.
I need your help!
Thank you!

SOLVED.
1) Removed all display drivers.
2) In BIOS I changed the display setting from standard to advanced.
3) Reinstalled all the display drivers.
4) Reconnect the HDMI monitor and now it’s working.
5) WINNING J
Thanks anyway.

NOAA and Gmail problem solved after one small change - coincidence?

I have a late 2009 iMac with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4GB of memory, and I am running OS X 10.9.4 with all software updates.
I have had continual problems with Apple Mail reliably loading my new Gmail for months. I have combed these communities and the web in general for advice and fixes, and I've tried a lot of them. The problem always recurred. I had to quit Mail and restart the application to load new Gmail emails to my Inbox countless times every day. If I didn't find everything else about Mail so perfect for all my needs, I'd have quit using it.
Recently, I started having problems getting to NOAA's weather forecasting website as well as the NHC (National Hurricane Center). I started looking around to see if others were experiencing this problem, and I did see I was not alone. Someone suggested this fix: System Preferences/Network/Advanced/DNS and entering 8.8.8.8 as my server. It worked like a charm, and NOAA and the NHC now come up quickly and reliably as they always had in the past.
Oddly, I have had ZERO problems with Gmail since I did this. None. It's working perfectly for the first time in months. I've checked updates to software and see no changes to explain this. The only change that took place immediately before Apple Mail started loading Gmail reliably was the DNS change.
I know just enough about computers to understand that I know nothing about computers. So I'm throwing this question out there to people who do have some understanding of these things: Is there any connection between what I did to fix my access to the NOAA sites and the fact that my Apple Mail is finally working properly? Or is it just some freak coincidence?

It has solved my problem untill hal has been updated now i am back to the same problem

Tint and Trayer problem [SOLVED]

Since tint has no systray, I'm running Trayer on top of it, but I was wondering if there is any way to fix the task size (so it wont go past the green line)? Or even another solution if there is any.
Any help, appreciated.
Thanks
I'm sticking with <task> <clock> <trayer> option now. Thanks cinan

Mega pc 180 and spdif output

Hallo,
I have a mega pc 180 and i also have a Logitech® Z-5500 Digital speaker set. There a 2 ways to attach the speakers to the pc.
1 with 3 cables (front, rear, center and sub)
2 with spdif.
I think option 2 with spdif is the best, but I weet it not certain. Who has experience with spdif?
And does spdif als works in hifi modes?
And what are the "know" bugs of spdif on the mega pc 180?
Thanks in advance

I have a mega 180 and use the optical spdif (also called TOSLINK) connection for all audio out of my mega. I have it attached to a digitial receiver. I use it with base windows xp, MCE 2005, winamp, wmp, 1by 1, windvd, power dvd, and zoom player. You do have to configure it from several places. The base nvidia sound utility, win dvd, power dvd, and zoom player.
I had it set to use the on board soundstorm dolby encoding.. but after a while decided I actually liked it better with just sending digital info directly out in lpcm format and let the receiver figure out how to decode it. This set up works for me sending dolby sound from dvds and it also works for CD or radio in hifi mode and in fact the dial on the mega does adiust the volume. I actually wish I could force all audio to be maximum all the time from the meag and then just control it from my receiver. There are several programs that for some reason want to set the audio level master to around 80 %.

MEGA 180: Media Center deletes radio stations of HiFi Mode

Hello
We have the following problem: Media Center III deletes the radio stations programmed in HiFi Mode!
- I programmed the 6 stations in the HiFi Mode as described in the MSI manual
- Switched to the PC mode and started Media Center III and entered the radio section
- After shouting down the PC and switching to the HiFi mode, the 6 programmed stations are gone away.
The problem only appears when using Media Center. It seems that Media Center deletes the stations when communication with the radio tuner.
Thanks for your help!
Best regards
Patrik

the problem is the fact that the radio tuner isn't a "physical" device that Windows recognises
damn MSI and their proprietory hardware!! surely some sort of USB tuner "hardwired" to the USB controller would have been a better solution? grr, but then how would that have worked in Hi-Fi mode...

MEGA 865 CD playback problem (in HiFi mode)

Hi, fellow MEGA PC owners
I have a problem with playing my CDs on MEGA 865 in HiFi mode. It recognizes the CD, plays the first track or two, then stops playing, displays SEARCHING message for a ten seconds or so and then switches to NODISC. When I press Eject button on the box or remote, it switches back to SEARCHING and shows the number of tracks on CD.
The same problem is with the MP3 playback. It plays several MP3s ok and then switches to SEARCHING and NODISC.
Does anyone else has this problem? Any idea on what could be wrong? I checked all Slave/Master jumpers, all are ok, the cd drive is recognized by the BIOS.
My configuration is:
MSI MEGA 865, P4 3.0 GHz Northwood, 1 Gb PC3200 RAM, NEC 2500A DVD burner.

Hey JavaDuke!
I've got the exact same problem with my Mega180, also running a NEC 2500A! And it is starting to get very annoying...
I can play cd's for hours without any problems, when suddenly it stops in the middle of a track, displaying the NODISC message. Doesn't matter whether I use original cd's or copied ones, and the same disc can play through perfectly one day and halt several times the next. I've been thinking about replacing the NEC 2500 with something else but haven't got round to it as yet, however the post in the thread mentioned above states that different drives still produced the same error, so it's probably the bluebird chip that is faulty.
The mentioned thread doesn't really focus on our problem though as it mostly evolves around boot problems, so I don't see any problem with starting a new thread dedicated to this problem.
I might try the newer firmware, although there is no official word from MSI that this problem even exists, and I therefore doubt that it is solved. Not many people seem to have this particular problem either, or it appears so seldom that they choose to ignore it (as I have done for some time now).
Please report back if you solve this one!
-M
