AIX 5.3 Question
by vze284qe＠verizon.net Aug. 12, 2008

Aug. 12, 2008

Hello, At work, I have an RS6000 running AIX 5.3. The on-board NIC controller failed. I installed a dual-port Intel Pro 10/100/1000 NIC card. When I start the server, the Intel card isn't recognized. SMIT doesn't see it either. What do I have to do in SMIT so that I can use the card? Thanks, -- -Chuck

Re: [Wlug] donations
by Mike Leo July 11, 2008

July 11, 2008

the request came to me via a friend: Hello hello, I'm looking for working PCs that are no longer needed by their owners. We have many students that could benefit from the hands on learning that can only be made available through private donations. As one of three instructors here at the Shriver Job Corps Center , I would personally see to all systems being cleaned of private information by wiping all internal hard drives using DOD, (Department Of Defense), Standards. Each operating PC would then be entered into our training program for our students as a break/fix computer. If you know of anyone who may be interested in participating for the sake of our students, please pass along this note. Although all donations will be greatly appreciated it would not be a tax write-off but you will be able to sleep better knowing that you have helped aspiring technicians learn a trade and become active working participants in this great country of ours. Anyone having questions, please don't hesitate to call or email me. I hope you are having a great summer. Thank You, Ted Ted E.

by vze284qe＠verizon.net June 21, 2008

June 21, 2008

Hello, KDE 3.5.9 died on me. I installed some updates via the adept updater and after rebooting, I get dropped into run-level 3 (which I actually prefer). When I type startkde, which is in /usr/bin, I get the following errors: Xsetroot : unable to open display '' Xset : unable to open display "" Xsetroot : unable to open display '' Startkde : Starting up. . . Startkde : Running kpersonalizer. . . Kwin : X server can not connect to Kpersonalizer can not connect to X server : Kpersonalizer can not connect to X server : Kpersonalizer can not connect to X server : If I type startx instead, the gnome window manager starts up fine. Any ideas??? I really prefer KDE. Thanks, -- -Chuck
