Hardware Wiki

2006-04-15 Thread Metrics
Hi all,

Is there a wiki somewhere where I can put my experiences installing
Debian on my laptop, similar to the Gentoo wiki? I know of
wiki.debian.org, but it doesn't seem to have an appropriate area.

If not, does someone have some webhosting space that I can link to from
tuxmobile.org?

Regards,

Metrics

Just saw this message in the archives. I don't know whether you got this
sorted, but I use moto4lin on my V3X. I think this should work for you
too. The version of moto4lin is broken though, I'm working on some
patches when I have time.

You first need to modprobe pl2303 which will let you talk to the phone
then run moto4lin as root. In my device configuration I have
/dev/ttyACM0 as my ACM Device. You then need the AT Vendor ID from the
phone. Run lsusb after you plug it in, and make a note of the code that
says :, mine is 22b8:3002. Type that into the preferences box
and then hit Switch to P2K. You should then get a different product ID,
usually the (AT Product ID) - 1.

If you need more info let me know. Oh yeah, the reason moto4lin is
broken is that the preferences are not saved correctly because of the
way QSettings works, and it only writes the preferences when the object
is destroyed, so QSettings should be created on the stack, which it
isn't. And if you're not a coder, what that means is to edit your
preferences, edit ~/.qt/moto4linrc, the preferences box doesn't work
reliably.

Hope that helps,

Metrics

P.S. Sorry for the direct reply, Rodney.

Qemu and Kqemu on Sid

2006-03-08 Thread Metrics
Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone on this list has managed to get the qemu
accelerator (kqemu) working? I'm running a reasonably up to date sid,
with the a custom compiled 2.6.15 kernel. I grabbed the sources from the
qemu site, did an "apt-get build-dep qemu" and then built qemu. That
went fine and works okay, but when I try to install the kqemu module I
get 

FATAL: Error inserting kqemu (/lib/modules/2.6.15.07/misc/kqemu.ko):
Invalid module format

After some googling, I've double checked that everything matches, and
I'm using gcc-4.0 to build the kqemu kernel module. Here's a modinfo
from kqemu and another module from my current running kernel.

modinfo kqemu.ko

vermagic:   2.6.15.07 preempt PENTIUM4 gcc-4.0

modinfo ipw2200.ko

vermagic:   2.6.15.07 preempt PENTIUM4 gcc-4.0

Any hints?

Thanks in advance,

Byron

BASH Scripting Question

2005-11-25 Thread Metrics
Hi all,

Can someone explain to me the following behaviour? I have this script

#!/bin/sh

LISTS=('debian-user' 'security-basics' 'hostap' 'pen-test' 'ntbugtraq' 
'ion-general' 'vim' 'madwifi');
LIST_COUNT=${#LISTS}
echo $LIST_COUNT

for ((i=0;i<$LIST_COUNT-1;i++)); do
echo /home/bhillis/Maildir/.${LISTS[${i}]}/
done

But when I run it I get...


11
/home/bhillis/Maildir/.debian-user/
/home/bhillis/Maildir/.security-basics/
/home/bhillis/Maildir/.hostap/
/home/bhillis/Maildir/.pen-test/
/home/bhillis/Maildir/.ntbugtraq/
/home/bhillis/Maildir/.ion-general/
/home/bhillis/Maildir/.vim/
/home/bhillis/Maildir/.madwifi/
/home/bhillis/Maildir/./
/home/bhillis/Maildir/./

Why does $LISTS have an extra two elements than I specified?

I'm following the guide from here
http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-1035_11-5820685.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=tr

Thanks in advance,

Byron Hillis
