Hardware/Bios Issue: AGP Card causes memory test to hang
by Abhishek Daga 20 Jun '05

20 Jun '05

Ok, so maybe not the best forum, but I have seen hardware related queries, so following the precedent. Hoping someone can help me out. Hardware: motherboard: Asus ASUS A7266-MX-UAYZ with onboard Video/Lan/Sound and AGP slot. Processor: ATHLON xp 2100+ Video Card: VideoGF FX 5200 256 MB AGP card. Memory: 2 Dimms of 512 MB Each (different companies) but 400 Mhz totaling 1024 MB. Problem: The AGP Card causes the system to hang when it reaches the memory test stage. If I keep pressing "del", I can get into the bios. If I keep pressing ESC, I can get it to skip the memory test and the system comes up. If I fail to do the above, the keyboard is rendered lifeless and I have to hard boot. Without the AGP Card it works fine and the memory test takes place and system comes up OK. Any clues? Is it in the BIOS? Thanks Abhi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

I assume u are trying to boot linux ;-). First disable on board agp in bios. Next check if the mobo and the agp card are both voltage compatabile. One of them is 1.5v (AGP 4.0 i think). rgds jtd > > Hardware: > motherboard: Asus ASUS A7266-MX-UAYZ with onboard Video/Lan/Sound > and AGP slot.

by Puneet Lakhina 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

HI, im trying to install kde 3.4 on fedora core1 system which is currently running kde 3.1 I downloaded the three required packages arts, kdebase and kdelibs. I installed arts first and then kdelibs and they got installed without any errors. But after that when i tried to install the kdebase package the configure script gave an error that kdelibs must be installed first. Do i need to do something regarding the old kde or wat??I ran the configure script of arts and kdelibs with no options except --with-qt-dir=/home/puneet/qt3.4/ option which is the path to the version of qt i wana use.. WHat coudl be the problem??? Please reply quickly, Puneet P>S> I did all this coz umbrello(UML designer) needed a beeter version of qt than i had and then after i installed qt in umbrello i got an error that kde must be compiled with this new version of kde hence i downloaded the new version of kde. IF you can suggest any other UML designer that would be really helpful.!!

Besides we've also decided to experiment with the timings so this meet would be held from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. All the same we would like to know who all support this new schedule. Besides we'ld as well like to know who all vouch for the traditional Sunday 3 pm timings. Anyways we might try to experiment with this new schedule for this meet.

Most profound Linux/MS Comparison yet
by Abhishek Daga 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

Background: Was introduced to yet another PC Support vendor. I ask this of every vendor these days. "Do you support linux because I always recommend Linux to most people who ask for solutions to their many woes but the switch never materializes for lack of support by the AMC vendor. If you do, then let me know and I will send you prospective clients." At the end of the relatively long conversation, he came up with the most thought provoking comparison between linux and windows. He said, "Agreed, microsoft has many problems and is unstable etc, but you see, Microsoft Windows is like a woman, has it's problems, gets infected but still people want it, whereas Linux is a 'hijra' who cannot get a virus but still nobody wants it". I am not kidding. Those were the exact words. I was too caught up with interpreting the comparison to discuss anything else. And am still thinking, if windows is woman, linux is eunuch, who is the male in the scheme of things?. Well, it takes all kinds to make the world. But somehow the vendor just made my day. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Linux Training: Looking to form a group and getting an instructor to train.
by New Immigrant new 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

Hi, A friend of mine is hoping to get some training done on Linux (from the basics to as far as he can go). But is looking at flexible timings. He has a setup of 4 machines in his office and is based in south Mumbai. The plan is to get an instructor level person to conduct the classes on weekends/weekevenings, whatever is convenient to all. If anyone is interested in hooking up (2 seats available) since one will be taken by him and one by instructor then let me know. This will also bring down the costs hopefully.

That is precisely what you want to protect your harem of PCs. You most certainly would not want them to be providing fun for all the crooks out there while you hold all them babies. > And am still thinking, if windows is woman, linux is eunuch, who > is the male in the scheme of things?. The vendor can definetly be classified as a pimp. And ofcourse it's only the wimps who dont understand beautiful things who need whores and pimps. rgd jtd
