[HAIFUX LECTURE] High-Level Introduction to Virtualization's Low-Level -- Ronen Hod
On Monday, November 25th at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by Ronen Hod: High-Level Introduction to Virtualization's Low-Level Abstract This presentation unwraps the mystery behind virtualization with strong focus on memory management topics. The objective of this talk is to inspect the execution of 5 assembly instructions. We will see how they are executed on real hardware and how hypervisors emulate them. The talk will start with the necessary introduction to virtualization and memory management. = We meet in Taub building, room 6. For instructions see: http://www.haifux.org/where.html Attendance is free, and you are all invited! == Future lectures: 23/12/13 Nested Virtualization: Shadow Turtles: Orit Wasserman == We are always interested in hearing your talks and ideas. If you wish to give a talk, hold a discussion, or just plan some event haifux might be interested in, please contact us at webmas...@haifux.org -- Web: http://www.billauer.co.il ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Fwd: DVB-T and Linux updated.
This has been a long standing question and I have an answer. It may not be the only answer, but here is one that worked for me with a minimum of effort. I have spent more time, and here is more (hopefully useable) information. I am using Zorin 7 x86 version. (It's an UBUNTU derivative) running Kernel 3.8. I had two old sticks. One was an APEX (Geniatech) T328B. It worked under Windows, but I was never able to get it to work under Linux. It uses an AF9015 chipset. I found on the Geniatech website the latest Windows drivers for it which load the proper firmware into the stick. There is a driver for it in the 3.8 Kernel, but nowhere is there the proper firmware for it, so it is unusable under Linux. I tried all available firmware versions. If someone wants to try and strip the firmware from the windows drivers, or knows whom to contact, I can forward you the link, contact me off list. The second one just says Nikom on it. It works with the same Geniatech driver, but it turns out it has an AF9035 chipset in it. The 3.8 Kernel has a driver for it, and the latest version of available firmware works fine in it. The third is a TerraTec Cinergy +, which uses an RTL2382U chipset and an Elonics E4000 receiver. These used to be available for as little as $10 on eBay. It is supported in the 3.8 Kernel. These are now very hard to get. The TerraTec ones are over $40 on eBay, but there are ones that claim to have E4000 receivers, for around $15. Many of them are listed as E4000 upgrade version and really have (it's in the fine print) R820T tuners. THESE STICKS ARE NOT SUPPORTED IN LINUX. There is a working Kernel module for them available, but you have to compile it yourself. It is scheduled to be included in the 3.10 Kernel. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Re: DVB-T and Linux updated.
The RTL2382+E4000 sticks became very popular when it was discovered they can be used for SDR (Software Defined Radio), by giving raw access to the A/D output coming into the DVB-T decoder. When the demand skyrocketed, eBay prices went up. Also, as far as I know, the E4000 chip itself is no longer being produced.

I was not going to mention the SDR use of them because you need a license to own a receiver of such range in Israel. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Re: OT: Recommended domain registrar
Choose one from the list - http://www.isoc.org.il/domain_heb/registration.html If you not happy with it - you can always transfer the domain to another registrar.

It seems that support for the R820T tuner has been added in kernel version
3.11. See http://git.kernel.org/linus/a80abc58f.
