Dear WLUG Members,
Below is a question that I posted on Ask Ubuntu 8 days ago.
I have received no replies, so I am now asking whether any of you might
be able to help.
BTW, in addition to the Diamond Stealth card, I also have a PCI Mach64
VGA card made by ATI and a PCI VGA card made by STB Systems. The STB one
has a big chip made by S3 and a PROM (I think) labeled "NITRO 3D/GX EDO
1.0". Those have essentially the same problem.
**************
I have added to my system a very old Diamond Stealth PCI VGA video card.
That card can talk to the BIOS and display correctly on a VGA monitor
(provided that I tell the BIOS that my primary graphics card is PCI-E
not PCI), but it does not work in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I think I need a
generic VGA driver. Here is some info from lshw:
*-display UNCLAIMED description: VGA compatible controller
product: 2000PV [Stingray]
vendor: ARK Logic Inc
physical id: 5
bus info: pci@0000:03:05.0
version: 00
width: 32 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: vga_controller
configuration: latency=0
resources: memory:fdc00000-fdffffff memory:febf0000-febfffff
Also, here is what happens when I try to install fglrx:
sudo apt-get install fglrx
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package fglrx
I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks.
(P.S. I think I have to set the BIOS to PCI-E because when I sent it to
PCI it finds the built-in video port on my AMD CPU.)
Hey Everybody!
We've got a virtual meeting tomorrow Thursday November 19th, 2020.
Long time WLUG member Dennis Payne will be giving a presentation on
Gamerzilla. http://identicalsoftware.com/gamerzilla/index.html
Time: 7PM
Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA
As usual, expect the banter and usual delve into linux (or not!) related
topics. I fully expect as usual it'll go late into the night.
See ya there!
Later,
Tim.

Anybody know of an easy tool to convert an image into a CMYK color
space jpeg? I found an online site that works but would like to do it
on my machine. Searching has only found how to do it for tiff files.

Guys,
Has anyone played with vagrant on Debian Buster using libvirt as the
provider? I can do a 'vagrant up' of a CentOS8 box, but it never
finishes since it says it's just waiting for a network.
But I have a virbr1 running with 192.168.121.0/24 subnet, and I can
ping the new vagrant box at 192.168.121.18 without a problem.
I can even fire up a VNC viewer and connect to the console and see
that it's up and it's gotten an IP address.
All I'm doing is:
mkdir /scatch/vagrant
vagrant box add centos/7 --provider=libvirt
vagrant box add centos/8 --provider=libvirt
cd /scratch/vagrant
mkdir centos8
cd centos8
vagrant init centos/8
vagrant up
I've got dnsmasq running on my server, and it looks to be giving out
IPs on that subnet properly. Stupid VM just sits at:
root@quad:/scratch/vagrant/centos8# vagrant reload
==> default: Halting domain...
==> default: Starting domain.
==> default: Waiting for domain to get an IP address...
And then nothing. The console is fine, I can VNC into it and login as
the root user with the password of 'vagrant' and see that the network
is up, etc. Going nuts trying to make this work.
John
Our next WLUG meeting is Nov 19th, 2020. I've pushed the meeting out a week
because I have a prior engagement and frankly this second Thursday snuck up
on me.
As an aside, are people happy with the Thursday meeting or would a
different day in the week work better for people?
I'll let you know more details when I get them.
Thanks,
Tim.
