Hi All,
I have a system where the cd drive insists on keeping the drawer open. I
will close the drawer manually by pushing the button that closes it.
Within seconds the door will open again. What would cause this?
Thanks
I am still having a hard time understanding kernel drivers vs module's in practical use:
I understand a kernel driver, is a driver that Linus, et al, have coded into the kernel, so if i
have a peice of hardware, and I compile a kernel with that device's driver turned on, then my
device will work.
If i build that kernel driver as a module, the driver remains outside the kernel, but still
availible for use. As a module I can rmmod or insmod when i need to use the device.
My foggy'ness comes …
[View More]from a few things.
1. if the driver is built into the kernel, will it show up in lsmod?
2. if the driver does not show up in lsmod, how do i know if its loaded?
3. weather it's a built in driver or a module, how do i associate the driver (or module) with a
particular device?
4. if the device does not have a driver in the kernel, I cannot build a custom kernel to include
it, nor can I build it as a module from the kernel source. So:
5. if I get the driver from the vendor, it will build a module for me, based on my kernel-source
or kernel-headers??? Then what? again, see #3: how do i associate the module with my device?
This is a general linux quandry, but this time i have a debian stable install and have inserted a
QLogic HBA. lsmod does show qla2xxx, but it doesn't seem to be functioning as it isn't logging
into the fiber switch.
thanks
mike

Yes, am looking for a tutor to teach in my home.
I'm in Holden -- going north on 31 towards Wachusett.
My son is 13 ... and his friends don't talk much about PCs ... except
that they seem to be active IM-ers.

Andy,
I also sent this message to WLUG but didn't see it in the Digest. Would
like to see it included because it has more detailed info.
Thanks,
Doug

The tutor is for my son. I have managed to keep our two computers up to
date -- am …
[View More]now running Ubuntu 6.04. I want to teach more to my son, but
am getting beyond my abilities. I have some administrative work ... I
need to share resources, find some drivers ... then move onto setting up
an email server. From there I have some applications I want to start
setting up, like a video editor and ham radio apps.
Thanks for the links, they are new to me.
I had problems with IRC, which I have not used before. I made it to
http://freenode.net/faq.shtml
I got NickServ to look like it was alive in GAIM. However, in the
previous link, the section about registering said this:
Register your IRC nick:
*/msg nickserv register <your-password>*
and I don't know what to do with this. Can you send this to NickServ
through GAIM?? Also, the command seems to be registering a nickname ...
but the register command is followed only by a password ... no mention
of username/nickname.
Thanks,
Doug

I had a few ideas kicking in the back of my head for a meeting topic. By
no means am I volunteering to give a talk on this, however I thought it
would be a good idea to toss out. </end-disclaimer>
How about a talk on port forwarding? The talk could include tunneling
via program (like the old school datapipe proggy) and more appropriately
the finner points of SSH port forwarding. Other peripheral topics could
be including such as: port knocking, alt mechanisms of ssh
authentication, and …
[View More]X11 forwarding.
Just a thought...
Cheers,
Mike
