[PLUG] Google Datacenter Positions open in The Dalles
I'm not sure if it is appropriate to post this here or not, but given the current job shortages and that this is linux related I thought I would throw it on the list. http://www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/answer.py?answer=171451 The temp to hire is normal, everyone here went through it. The posting pertains to OTA positions available but they are looking for a OT2 aswell, which is a more technical (linux/scripting/hardware) position, it's just not posted. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have and no I am not a recruiter, I am long time lurker and technician at the DC :) John -- + Part-time Realist + Full-time Geek ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
Re: [PLUG] NFSROOT problems...

I'm trying to compile a 2.6.27.39 kernel and the bzImage file is too big. I need it to be 1.4 megs or smaller where I'm 200k too big. Is there any way around this limitation that etherboot seems to impose? There is a section in the general to build for memory limited systems. This should cut down on the size. If you are doing nfsroot you could also boot this off the network. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
[PLUG] Fan probs on Thinkpad T60?
I've read some threads on this, but just wondering if anyone locally has run into any of these problems? 1. Fan continuously runs - I did download some ibm-acpi fan util, but the fan continues to run all the time. 2. The fan has become annoyingly loud. - Has anyone replaced the fan or taken apart the laptop to clean it out, etc? Thanks, Mike ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

I don't know, has anyone? ;) Ok, more seriously, from a small sample of laptop repairs of various makes I have to give IBM/Lenovo mad props for freakin' awesome repair manuals available to everyone. Give it a search and you should easily find it online. Good luck! NealS ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
[PLUG] Alsa problems...
I can't select my sound card in alsaconf because alsaconf doesn't list it even though I know I have a module for it. I have a DR sound ISA sound card or I guess an OPTi931 sound card. ad...@condor:~$ ls alsa/ alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a/ alsa-lib-1.0.9rc4.tar.bz2 alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a.tar.bz2 alsa-utils-1.0.9rc4a/ alsa-lib-1.0.9rc4/ alsa-utils-1.0.9rc4a.tar.bz2 As you can see, I grabbed recent source code for ALSA. I'm running a 2.6.10 kernel, have to because later kernels don't work with my Quickcam color camera, the cheap one. (CONFIGURE OPT0931/-1 (LD 0 As you can, the above piece of my isapnp.conf file suggests that the card is an OPTi931 as well. Is the driver for this sound card simply not functional or is there a trick to get alsaconf to try it? I'm also having trouble with alsamixer not working as the following shows: ad...@condor:~$ alsamixer alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory ad...@condor:~$ I have another similar computer that sports Monorail 3D audio which also identifies as an OPTi931. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
