Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] OT: I'm impressed
You know, part of this problem is motherboard and chipset manufacturers and their sarcasmoh so reliable chipset driver packs/sarcasm? :) True Windows should be able to deal with it better, but it isn't completely MS's fault. -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42028 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix

I'd accept that argument because I know that chipsets and associated drivers are often times buggy, especially when first released. However, Linux doesn't appear to have the same problems in this space. Where Linux does suffer is in that new hardware isn't necessarily readily supported when first released, however, this is becoming increasingly isolated. -- egd Thecus N5200PRO Transporter ATC SCA2 ATC SCM100SLAT egd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42028 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Slimserver 6..5.5 on Buffalo Linkstation - MySQL Problem
Hi Slimnick, I tried MySQL 5.0.45 and that seemed to fix the problem I was having. I wonder what's up with 5.0.32. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] OT: I'm impressed
The windows issue is the HAL (hardware adaptation layer). In earlier versions of NT, you could swap hardware, stick your NT CD in, boot to that CD, run repair and that would replace your old HAL with the right one. This went to sometimes worked in Win2K, and they seem to have completely disabled it in XP/2K3. I was an NT driver developer at one point and got to see this stuff up close and personal. The driver and HAL architecture is actually not bad - but the fact that they just abandoned efforts to make the HAL reloadable is, indeed, an example of what's wrong with closed source software... -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42028 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix

The problem windows has here is that it doesn't have the drivers on disk. In Ubuntu Linux every possible driver there is is compiled as a module so that it is loaded if the corresponding hardware is being found. This way of building a kernel gives slightly more overhead and a bit bigger kernel but it runs on almost everything -- servies There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't. servies's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9496 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42028 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
[SlimDevices: Unix] slimbox: wireless encryption failure
Hello all, I recently made some slight changes to my router. My slimbox was recognized just fine with my original encryption setup: - WPA-PSK - TKIP I switched my encryption to AES and I started getting a: Problem: Wireless Encryption Failure message on the slimbox so I reverted back to my original TKIP setting, but now I get the exact same error message after numerous attempts to have it recognized. Emmm? Any help would be most appreciated. -- monroeja monroeja's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13859 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42092 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
[SlimDevices: Unix] Package in Debian's/Ubuntu's repos
Hello, I use slimserver for MClient and always found it a bit clunky but see many people sing it's praises. Looking at the Server Settings in the interface I see it can do a lot, but quite a bit never really work out correctly for me. Two examples are the rendevouz support and the transcoding of wma files. I finally decided to look at the README files in /usr/share/doc/slimserver and see that for the Debian package some things in slimserver were removed for copyright and other non-free reasons. Is there a guide on re-enabling what's missing for this package? I know that there is a deb available on this site but I like to stick to the official ubuntu repository for straightforward upgrades to new distro releases.

AFAIK, there's no Ubuntu repo for slimserver. The reliable repo is the debian.slimdevices.com one. I'd be interested to look at the README you mention, but can't find it. The only things in my /usr/share/doc/slimserver are seven Changelogs, a couple of .gz files and a copyright notice.
