Newbie question :network can't start
i install archlinux in vmware4 workstation on win2003(my network card is sis-900) ,but i found the network can not start.
now how can i solve this problem?
plz don't tell me reinstall!
Aaah, we're getting closer now.
Now if you'd tell us why using the aptly named module "sis900" won't do the job, I or someone else might get close to helping you out. If you simply don't know how to load this module at all, I suggest you read the manpage to "modules.conf", that's what it's there for. In most cases the line "alias eth0 sis900" added to this file will do the trick nicely, and automagically load the module when the eth0 device is somehow accessed, for example during network setup.
No, you don't need to reboot to try that out. After you've made changes to the rc.conf or modules.conf, simply try restarting the networking subsystem only with the command /etc/rc.d/network restart or /etc/rc.d/network start, and have a look at the results with ifconfig, which should display your eth0 device on success. Again, the manpages and documentation are your friend. Check the message log and dmesg if the module loading somehow doesn't work, error messages are dumped there.
Noticed I'm still guessing what your actual problem might be? Refine your question. Guessing costs time I don't really have.

/etc/rc./network can not start broadcom device
Hey all, first post.
Loving Arch linux, used Redhat since back in the 6.0 days, then Fedora core 2-4, then Ubuntu. Tried all sorts of smaller distros, but I think Arch is a winner. Anywho onto the question.
I have a Broadcom Card. I am using bcm43xx-fwcutter with the file linked onto the wiki. I want to get my IP via DHCP.
I have noticed however that whenever I use iwconfig <interface> essid <essid>, I can not be assigned an IP address, but I can ping my network. If I use iwconfig <interface> essid any, it will work. But only if I let my system stand for a few minutes after booting, or restarting /etc/rc.d/network. Here is some basic info

Yes, my wireless device ie eth1 and not wlan0. Not sure why, but it has always been this way.
On boot, or trying to start the network, the broadcom device times out on DHCP. After a few minutes, I can manually do it
iwconfig eth1 essid any
dhclient eth1
Here is my rc.d networking section. eth0 is a wired device, but my computer is almost always wireless, so I dont want the network script timing out every time, trying to DHCP from the non existent cat5.

Any thoughts on how to get the network script working properly? I will be leaving town on work, and need to leave my computer with the girlfriend. There is no way she is going to be able to manually start the network everytime its needed.Update:
Tried using the b43legacy drivers with the same outcome as the b43 drivers using the above mentioned tutorial.

Another nb question: network won't start at boot
I am running Arch 0.5 in a notebook with a 3c574 pmcia card (3com). I've set everything up (gateway, dns, etc) and installed cardmgr... when i load it and type "/etc/rc.d/network start" everything works fine.. the problem is that the network is not loading at boot, i have to start it manually every time the system is restarted (already tried adding network start to rc.local). The DAEMON array is like that:
DAEMON=(pcmcia network crond inetd)
Can i get it work by itself?
Ps: sorry about any gramatical errors, english is not my primary languagei've tried a workaround like that... made a rc script with "/etc/rc.d/network start" and added it before "network" in the daemons array... it worked, but i still get the loading errors. Look at the last lines of my boot sequence (i had to write it by hand heheh):
[ Starting PCMCIA Services BUSY ]
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
cardmgr[111]: watching 2 sockets
DONE ]
[ Starting Network BUSY ]
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: unknown interface: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: Cannot assign requested address
FAILED ]
[ Starting Network DONE ]
[ Starting Cron Daemon DONE ]
[ Starting inetd DONE ]
DAEMON=(pcmcia crond [maybe something else here] network inetd)
i'll try that too hehe, thanks -
Some "newb" questions - Network and BBM
Morning -
I have some questions, I'm hoping someone can answer.
Q1 - Presently the device (Curve 9300) is connecting to the router successfully but not connecting to the internet even though other devices are (the WiFi indicator is dim). Is there anything different you need to do on BB to get it to connect? If it makes a difference, I'd to state that I am currently using the handset without a BB data plan, but I thought connection to WiFi would still have been possible. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Q2 - I will be getting a BB data plan activated shortly, and I have a BBM question. Providers all state that BBM and email are free once you have the BB data plan. Would this usually include when you are roaming as well?Check the below links -

Newbie Question: Why can't I open my iMovie project in FCP?
Hello all--
I'm sure some variation of this question has been posted a bajillion times but I can't seem to find the answer. At this point I feel like a damsel in distress. Rescue me?
I've been working with iMovie for about two years now and I've recently been learning Final Cut Pro to up the ante on my videos. However, when I tried to import an iMovie project into FCP yesterday, it didn't quite work. Let me explain what I did and what happened:
1) I exported my (edited but previously unpublished) iMovie project by clicking Share>Export Final Cut XML
2) I opened FCP and clicked File>Import>XML and then selected the XML, leaving all the boxes checked
3) FCP imported the project as a sequence; however, the entire sequence reads "Media Offline" in the Canvas.
4) I clicked File>Reconnect Media and the list of offline files is overwhelming. I tried my luck by clicking "locate" and going to my imovie folders to find the clips, but even when the browser allowed me to select a clip, when I double clicked it, nothing in the sequence changed - it's all still "offline."
I really don't know much about media management, I'll admit - I'm wondering if maybe iMovie saves edited clips in a folder other than the events or originals folder - maybe the edited clips become "temporary items"? I know I have a ridiculous amount of imovie cache and temporary items and I never touch them because there are just so many of them and I don't want to mess anything up. But could the files that FCP claims to be "offline" in fact be located in these "temporary" folders? I mean, I've looked everywhere else on my hard drive and nothing is working! Sorry, I am probably just confusing myself MORE (and you), but maybe SOMEONE will know what in the world I should do
Thanks in advance.Welcome to the family. I don't think many of us have ever used iMovie so your post might be more quickly answered in that forum.
My suggestion is to forget trying to move the project. Rebuild it in FCP. The exercise will teach you much more about your new software than fighting XML.
If you don't feel like doing that, try a smaller iMovie project, something with only two or three clips and one dissolve.
The larger issue is probably how iMovie stores its captured media which is completely different from how FCP does it. And the format is different. FCP does not, IIRC, view iMovie's default dvstream codec. You will want to export your movie clips as DV.

Newbie question, network install
Can this work and if so, how.
I would like to install all my music files to a network drive and then have three PCs able to access this library and sync their ipods.
* Each PC should be able to add music (mainly via CD)
* A CD added by one user should be visible to other users
Each PC is currently running WinXP
Thank youA CD added by one user should be visible to other users
This is the hard part. Each PC, and each user on each PC, gets their own library file in My Music on the C: drive. So even if one user adds files to a commonly accessible location the others will not see it automatically. Each other user needs to add the files to their own library. This will not duplicate the files. -
Newbie question, need to get started!
I haven't used Garageband before and can't seem to get past square one! I bought a First Act usb guitar cord to record guitar, when I plugged it in Garageband seemed to recognize it, and it looks like I'm getting a signal and can see the waves when I record, but I can't hear anything. Is there something special I have to do to actually hear what I'm playing through my iMac?

Newbie question: root can't write /home?
I've just installed Solaris Express DE under Parallels on
an MB15. It works fine, except that root can't make directories
in /home, or (apparently) change it in any way -- chmod, etc
give errors. Even rmdir /home complains that /home is in
use or a mount point - tho mount shows its not the latter.
Useradd puts home dirs by default in /home - I can put them
elsewhere, but the need to do so seems a bit odd...
Is there something magic about /home?Yes. It's under control of the automounter, not a normal directory.
You can either use the automounter by putting your home directory location in auto_home, you can use a different directory, or you can disable the automounter. All are valid.

Can we start more than one user created database at the same time
Hi.,
Can we start/work more than one user created database at the same time ??
--ShyamHi Shyam,
I really dont understand what you have asked?
If your question is can we start more than one database at the same time then the answer to that is yes but provided to have enough resources on your server to support running of two or more different databases on the same machine.

Some very "newbie" networking questions -- trying to get started
Hello all. Since this forum is so friendly for issues related to Arch, I thought I'd post my semi-arch related question.
I'm trying to create a network for my house, consisting of about 3 computers. I have a book reference, TCP/IP Network Administration from O'reilly, but I think I need a bit of a "kick-start" in order to get to a level in which I can comfortably understand the book (if that makes sense).
I've got internet access working by connecting to a router and having everything configured by DHCP (ie, in rc.conf, eth0="dhcp"). What's bothering me (and I don't even know if it should) is that the other computers on the physical network are not visible to me.
IE, when I try to connect to them with their host name, it doesn't recognise them. My understanding of that is that either I need to manually set the hostnames of the other computers on the network in /etc/hosts, or use something like a DNS server on one of the computers in the network in order to recognize the others.
My other doubt is that I think I've got a dynamic IP address (though it might be static, I'm not quite sure). Does that change things?
I don't expect you guys to completely run through me setting up the network (that's what the book is for!) but some basic advice on either my misconceptions (I'm sure I have plenty) or related in general to my situation would be awsome and highly appreciated. I'd also be happy to provide any additional info that would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.ralvez wrote:
My set up is simple.
I have a Linux router running on an old Pentium machine. It has two cards, one configured for the private network (with an address like 192.168.1.1) and the second card set up to take addresses from DHCP ( since that's how Rogers sends you the public address).
In that machine I run my firewall, SmoothWall (smoothwall.org) and have enabled NAT so the machines in the inside network can go to the Internet.
I have Samba set up in another machine to share files (that's an Arch system) with static IP, my daughter's machine (another Arch system), my system (obviously another Arch with static IP) and my wife's machine with Windows XP system (static IP too).
So, the key concept here are:
1. Use static IPs for the private network
2. Use DHCP for Rogers
3. Use NAT in your router so all the machines can go to the Internet but no one from the Internet can get to them.
Hope this helps.
R
p.s. feel free to contact me off the list if you need further details/help.
Aha! So, for example, the network 192.168.0.0 where mask is 255.255.255.0 is a private network set up by my router, right?
So the addresses in 192.168.0.0 never change, but the public IP address of the hosts do change?
Does that mean that if, for example, I have a host called 192.168.0.32 that its address never changes? Can I simply add that to all the other hosts' /etc/hosts file and it won't change?
All I was ever concerned about was allowing hosts in the network to contact each other via hostname. If that never changes then I'm all set.
BTW, thanks for your continuing help!

Can't start up after disconnect ethernet network of 2 macs
I tried conecting 2 macs via ethernet. Personal file sharing was turned on with both. Printer sharing seemed not to work, so that was disabled on both. Ethernet cable from systems to router connected to cable modem. Seemed to work well for my purpose -- access to second drive on old 733 G4.
Before I disconnected the ethernet cable, I turned off file sharing on both machines. They seemed to run fine after disconnect. Then turned off the G4.
I left the iMac running with some software active for one day while away from home. Returned to see blank screen. Moved trackball to wake from what I thought was display sleep but nothing happened.
Install disk (10.4.4) will start up machine, but cannot install to the internal drive since it is not seen. Disk Utility shows drive, but no volume to repair disk.
My question: Can I start up my iMac in a way to bypass looking for a network startup and see the internal drive?
20" iMac Core Duo 2.0 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)"Target Mode will only work with ATA disks"
No, that is not correct, also works with SATA, which is in all Intel Macs. However, I think I recall that both computers need to be updated to the same Mac OS X version, such as 10.4.6
Apple article Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs
Apple article with example of Firewire Target Disk usage with Intel Macs
Back to attempting normal startup:
hold down the "option" key instead of the x key above, and hold until the disk option you want to select appears. From my experience, the iMac Intel will show the startup disc choices quickly, within less than a minute under normal conditions, much quicker than the G5's. -
Hi all new here. Newb question...can this be done with flash?
Hi everyone hoping you can help a newb like me out. Thanks in advance for your time. I am trying to make a video exactly like this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbMOTNI8tcE
I know in the video it implies he uses a light control thing but I think he is really just animating the cartoon. I just want to animate a "line cartoon" like this one. Can I do this in flash? Its not for a website just like a movie type thing. I have access to pretty much all the other adobe software at my school so if I need to use a different program I can do that. Just looking for someone to point me in the right direction and maybe give some tips on how to go about it. Thanks.open flash and you'll see a timeline with frames (that are all empty when you start). draw something on the stage. that will be in frame 1. right click on frame 10 and click insert keyframe. your drawing will be in frame 10 now. double click your drawing to select all of it, move your mouse off and then over the select drawing and then drag it to the right and release. right click between frame 1 and frame 10 and click motion tween. test your movie.
now start playing with flash to see what you can do. you're not going to learn how to create your animation by asking questions.
you can get help getting started but you now have enough info to get started. you can get more help if and when you encounter problems. -
Hi. I have a MacBook Pro with OS10.6.8 and cannot get internet pages to load on my WiFi network at home. My iMac, iPhone and iPad all work on this network. It is connected to the net as dropbox registers a connection and so does skype. I can connect to the WiFi in work and on other networks when travelling. However, some other networks are now starting to fail. Can anyone suggets how I can fix it, as the MBP appears to be fine, its updated with all the latest versions of software and the WiFi network is also fine....just not with my MBP??

I want to upgrade my old airport express to the new express. Can I just switch out the old for the new or must I delete the old network first and start from scratch with the new express?
It is not necessary to delete your old wireless networks first, but doing so may eliminate confusion. If you wish to do that, open System Preferences > Network, and select Wi-Fi from the left column. Click the Advanced... button, then select your old wireless networks and delete them with the "–" (minus) button. Make sure the "Remember networks this computer has joined" remains checked.
OK then Apply.
This prevents your Mac from searching for your previous network which will no longer exist.
A new Express creates an open wireless network that you must select before you can configure it. It appears in your Wi-Fi menu like this:
Select it. AirPort Utility will load and walk you through its configuration.
Edit: If you are really using OS X 10.5.1 as shown in your profile, the above screenshot is not applicable. Instead, select the network called "Apple network nnnnnn" and then launch AirPort Utility.
