I just want to share something that might come to your helps. If you are using Linux on your laptop and don’t want to use the touch pad, please follow this:

1. Open file /etc/X11/xorg.conf and find a block similar to:

Section “InputDevice”
Identifier  “Synaptics”
Driver      “synaptics”
Option        “Device” “/dev/input/mice”
Option        “Protocol” “auto-dev”
Option        “Emulate3Buttons” “yes”
EndSection

2. Add a line (an option actually) before the “EndSection”:

Option      “Touchpad Off” “1″

So the section now should look like:

Section “InputDevice”
Identifier  “Synaptics”
Driver      “synaptics”
Option        “Device” “/dev/input/mice”
Option        “Protocol” “auto-dev”
Option        “Emulate3Buttons” “yes”
Option        “Touchpad Off” “1″
EndSection

3. Save the file, logout and login.

Your touch pad should no longer be active. I tested this in my Fedora Core 8.

Thanks.

Wah… blom nyoba yang satu ini (Fedora 10 – CAMBRIDGE)… blom punya DVD-nya hiks…

Nyoba ke KPLI Medan dolo ah… mana tau udah ada yang download (abis gak punya bandwidth gede) Fedora 10… paman…. menuju TKP….

Minggu itu, aYa sobat ane datang kerumah… Kira-kira jam 10 lewat aya dah manggil-manggil didepan pintu. Kami pun ngobrol-ngobrol, sambil liat-liat fhoto wisuda kami berdua . Sekalian aya burning fhoto sepupunya dari Camera Digital ke CD

Teringat tadi malam pas habis update FC8 ku di package:
selinux-policy-targeted
openoffice.org-writer
libxml2-python
ntfs-3g
Gak nyangka kalo rpmfusion-free-release-8-5.noarch dan rpmfusion-nonfree-release-8-5.noarch ikut terinstall, karena penasaran coba yum check-update, eh ternyata banyak lagi yang mesti diupdate…

Wah, bribet ini, kernel gak pas… pusing… sepengetahuan saya Fedora 9 dah beberapa bulan release, penasaran kata paman, cek ke http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/10/Schedule, wow Fedora 10 tinggal beberapa hari…
Ada juga sih keinginan sekarang ini mo update ke FC9, mikir-mikir repo yang saya miliki cuma repo FC8, repo FC9 blom punya, walaupun di KPLI Medan yang lama (MBICNET-red) terdapat repo FC9, cuma ane gak bisa akses, mungkin hanya orang-orang yang berkuasa saja yang bisa mengakses… (tak lama aya pun pamit pulang mau ke Siantar)
Lagian kalo liat tanggal release Fedora 10 tinggal menghitung hari saja, ya sabar aja lah nunggu FC10

Tetapi jauh di relung hati, Fedora Core cepat x ya release-nya barusan aja FC9, eh beberapa hari lagi Fedora 10 launching, trus mau berapa besar hardisk ya kalo mo ngoleksi repository Linux… mo didelete repo FC8 sayang, soalnya ane gak punya bandwitdh besar buat mirrorring repo jadi local repo, repo FC9 aja yang ada lokalnya di Medan mesti punya kuasa dulu baru bisa akses….

haahh… sambil mengelus dada…

Gak nyangka dan alhamdullilah pake labtop murah Acer 4720Z dengan OS Fedora 8 semua hardware berjalan dengan baik…
Cuma Wireless card (Broadcom-bcm4310) saja yang harus dipaksa pake driver Win32 (NDISWRAPPER), maunya sih make madwifi, tapi gak bisa nge-load driver-nya hiks….

Oiya hampir lupa, tinggal card reader yang gak bisa membuka Memory M2 ???

Edit: Correction: I believe I bought an xbox 360 controller.

Related post: programming joysticks with linux

Here is what I had to do to get my xbox 360 gamepad working with linux.

To start out with, I’m running Fedora core 8, with running kernel 2.6.25.10-47.fc8.

First, here’s what didn’t work:

I plugged the thing in, and saw the xpad driver load (saw it in output of dmesg.) Then, I ran the “jstest” program, and it printed out about 20 lines, then stopped, and no amount of fiddling with the buttons or joysticks on the game pad would make it produce any more output. Hmm.

I have the following kernel development packages installed, which means there are some headers and what not in /usr/src/kernels that allow modules to be compiled.

rpm -qa | grep kernel.devel produces:
kernel-devel-2.6.25.9-40.fc8
kernel-devel-2.6.25.10-47.fc8

So, I thought to build a new xpad.ko module from newer source:

After a bit of searching around on the internet, I tried the following:

mkdir xpad_driver
cd xpad_driver
wget http://xbox-linux.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/xbox-linux/kernel-2.6/drivers/usb/input/xpad.c
wget http://xbox-linux.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/xbox-linux/kernel-2.6/drivers/usb/input/xpad.h

Create a Makefile with this in it:

obj-m := xpad.o

then:

make -C /usr/src/kernels/2.6.25.10-47.fc8-i686 M=`pwd` modules

Well, it didn’t build.

So then, I downloaded the 2.6.26 kernel from kernel.org, and unpacked it and copied xpad.c and xpad.h from drivers/input/joystick, and tried the make command again:

make -C /usr/src/kernels/2.6.25.10-47.fc8-i686 M=`pwd` modules

this makes xpad.ko

then, as root:

rmmod xpad.ko

(at this point, unplug the joystick)

insmod ./xpad.ko

(at this point plug in the joystick.)

This worked. Yay!

But, now to try force feedback. I got the fftest program. (google for fftest.c, and compile it with “gcc -o fftest fftest.c”)

Then run it as “fftest /dev/input/event0″

No dice. “i/o error.”

Great. Ok, try copying evdev.h and evdev.c from kernel.org’s 2.6.26 tree (from drivers/input/joystick again) and add “evdev”a into the makefile, like:

cat Makefile
obj-m := xpad.o evdev.o

Then run the make again:

make -C /usr/src/kernels/2.6.25.10-47.fc8-i686 M=`pwd` modules

Now that produces evdev.ko.

Try to insmod it, but it won’t. Turns out Fedora has the “input” driver statically linked in, so you can’t rmmod it. (Found out by looking at /dev/input/event0, and noticing it had character device major number 13, and then looking in /proc/devices, see that this corresponds to “input”. Try rmmod input, but no luck, it’s statically linked.

Bummer. I guess Fedora core 8 (with their very most recent kernel as of this writing) just really doesn’t have xbox 360 support then. (Edit: this may not be true, see below.)

(Here begins the part where things began working.)

That means time to compile that 2.6.26 kernel.org kernel and see if that works. Copied the .config file from /usr/src/kernels/2.6.25.10-47.fc8-i686/.config and then ran

“make oldconfig”, hitting enter a whole bunch for defaults to new config options, then ran “make menuconfig” and turned off a bunch of hardware I don’t have, then ran “make.” Went shopping (not kidding). The compile takes awhile with redhat’s config file, even considering that I turned off a bunch of stuff.

then (as root) “make modules_install”, and “make install”, then reboot into the new kernel.

Hmm, it still doesn’t seem to work.

At this point, I was stuck for awhile, but then I began running fftest against the various event device nodes…

[root@zuul xpad_driver]# ./fftest /dev/input/event0
Force feedback test program.
HOLD FIRMLY YOUR WHEEL OR JOYSTICK TO PREVENT DAMAGES

Device /dev/input/event0 opened
Axes query:
Effects:
Number of simultaneous effects: 0
Upload effects[0]: Function not implemented
Upload effects[1]: Function not implemented
Upload effects[2]: Function not implemented
Upload effects[3]: Function not implemented
Upload effects[4]: Function not implemented
Upload effects[5]: Function not implemented
Enter effect number, -1 to exit

No dice. Same thing with event1, event2, event3, event4 but then… hello, what’s this?

root@zuul xpad_driver]# ./fftest /dev/input/event5
Force feedback test program.
HOLD FIRMLY YOUR WHEEL OR JOYSTICK TO PREVENT DAMAGES

Device /dev/input/event5 opened
Axes query:
Effects: Periodic Rumble
Number of simultaneous effects: 16
Upload effects[1]: Invalid argument
Upload effects[2]: Invalid argument
Upload effects[3]: Invalid argument
Enter effect number, -1 to exit

That’s different… hmm, it didn’t complain about 0, or, 4, or 5…

Enter effect number, -1 to exit
0
Now Playing: Sine vibration
Enter effect number, -1 to exit
4
Now Playing: Strong Rumble
Enter effect number, -1 to exit
5
Now Playing: Weak Rumble
Enter effect number, -1 to exit
-1
No such effect
[root@zuul xpad_driver]#

Hey hey! It works!

Well, option 0, “Sine vibration” didn’t ever stop, just kept going indefinitely (even exiting the program doesn’t stop it.) But, playing 4, or 5 it rumbles for awhile then stop. 4 seems to be the same as 0, except it stops, and 5 seems to be a higher frequency, lower amplitude version of 4.

On inspecting the fftest code, it seems that it plays effects 4 and 5 for 5 seconds, but the others for 20 seconds for some reason. 20 seconds is a long time. Knowing this, and waiting 20 secs, effect 0 does indeed eventually stop. So… it looks like it’s working. And, knowing that it’s (for some reason) showing up at /dev/input/event5, rather than /dev/input/event0. Hmm, it suddenly occurs to me that maybe event0-4 are the mouse. Maybe that’s mousex, mousey, plus 3 buttons mapped to 0,1,2,3,4… that’d make sense.)

That it showed up on /dev/input/event5 means it’s quite possible that this might actually work with Fedora’s kernel, (well, apart from the xpad driver itself.)

I’ll have to try that… but for now, heck I’ll just stick with this 2.6.26 kernel. There’s nothing like the bleeding edge.

Cách cài đặt Fedora Core 8 từ đĩa DVD vào hệ máy i386 đã cài đặt Windows XP.

Trước khi theo dõi hình ảnh hướng dẫn, bạn nên:

Chọn boot từ đĩa DVD (có phần hình ảnh thêm bên dưới nhưng chưa đủ chi tiết, có gì để đợt sau ngkynam quay lại rùi post lên ).

Tạo hai phân vùng:

• Phân vùng Swap (khoảng 512MB)
• Phân vùng Linux EXT3 (khoảng 4GB là okie, nhưng tốt nhất là nên để khoảng 7 -> 10 MB)

Và dưới đây là toàn bộ hình ảnh thu được từ quá trình cài đặt:

Cho hệ thống boot từ CD-ROM Drive.

Đặt đĩa Fedora vào, đợi chương trình chạy và chúng ta được màn hình chào đón như sau:

Tốt nhất là nên Bỏ qua kiểm tra đĩa để tiết kiệm thời gian .

Các bước hình thức, không cần phải bàn luận thêm.

Đây là phần cần quan tâm. Vào phần chia ổ đĩa, bạn sẽ thấy các ổ đĩa có trong máy.

Xóa bớt một số phân vùng (hoặc resize nó lại để giành vùng trống cho phân vùng swap và phân vùng chính của Fedora).

Tạo phân vùng Swap (các bạn cứ tạo nó đi, đừng vội hỏi nó là gì, mà thật sự thì chúng ta cũng ko cần biết nó là gì đâu. Còn nếu các bạn vẫn muốn biết swap là gì, chúng ta sẽ gặp nhau trong các bài viết sau ). Đối với máy RAM 256, cho nó khoảng 256MB là okie (máy 512MB RAM trở lên thì cho swap = 512MB).

Còn hình dưới là tạo một phân vùng chính cho Fedora, cho kích thước nó càng lớn càng tốt.

Làm đúng như phần trên các bạn sẽ có bảng phân vùng như sau:

Cài đặt GRUB (các bạn nên cài nó, còn nó là gì hả , hì hì, gặp ở bài sau). Các bạn nên tick default vào hệ điều hành Windows, đến khi các bạn biết cách dùng GRUB rồi thì chuyển lại sau cũng đc (trong hình dưới, Windows đc cài vào /dev/sda1).

Cứ để mặc định, sẽ giải thích sau.

Đoạn dưới là hình thức, chọn hay ko tùy thích ( nhưng cái card mạng eth0 thì phải chọn hén )

Root password, dùng để cài mọi thứ trên máy, tốt nhất là ko nên quên nó.

Lựa chọn các gói để cài. Tóm lại, đến đây dễ hiểu rồi, các bạn cứ làm theo trình tự, standard cũng đc, custom cũng đc, làm gì cũng không ảnh hưởng đến hòa bình thế giới cả…

Thấy được cái màn hình này là coi như xong. Bạn đã thành công!

Good luck + Have fun !

Sebenarnya sih coba-coba aja mau sync ponsel… Apa bisakah FC8 box aku ngenalin ponsel Soner M600i. Ternyata FC8 sudah mengenal driver SE M600i dengan baik. Pas dicoba yaitu dengan koneksi kabel data USB bawaan ponsel ini, eh pas dicolokkan… ok driver terload oleh kernel dengan baik. Gak nyangka sih pas cek situsnya gammu memang device ini sudah dikenal. Oiya pas Saya cek kernel, ternyata kernel Saya 2.6.24.3-50.fc8

Wong abis update kernel, jadi bisa jadi karena itu driver-driver hardware makin lengkap…. yummi…
Nah, adapun tools yang diperlukan adalah gammu (semacam utility command di Linux untuk berkomunikasi dengan ponsel), gammu yang saya gunakan adalah versi 1.17.0-1.fc8.
Sementara tools kedua adalah wammu (Mobile Phone Manager – berbasis GUI) versi 0.19-3.fc8. Ya karena GUI (Grafis User Interface-red), kita tinggal klik-klik aja Pas nyari-nyari di Google, ada juga sih GUI yang berbasis Web, namanya playsms. Cuma bingung juga jadinya… yang mana yang dipake ya? gammu atau kannel ya tuk playsms ? Waduh bingung dah jadinya…. Ya udah sementara Saya coba dulu wammu, GUI berbasis python.
Pertama-tama install dulu aplikasi-aplikasi pendukung wammu:

#rpm -Uhv http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/python-2.5.1-15.fc8.i386.rpm
# rpm -Uhv http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/python-gammu-0.22-3.fc8.i386.rpm
# rpm -Uhv http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/gammu-1.13.0-1.fc8.i386.rpm
# rpm -Uhv http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/gammu-libs-1.13.0-1.fc8.i386.rpm
#rpm -Uhv http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/wxPython-2.8.4.0-2.fc8.i386.rpm
#rpm -Uhv http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/wammu-0.19-3.fc8.noarch.rpm


Kalo gak mau bribet-bribet, langsung aja
# yum -y install gammu wammu
beres dah, tinggal jalankan dari terminal #wammu

Cuma pas Saya coba wammu versi 0.19-3, ada bugs-nya. Wammu tidak bisa membaca SMS, Phone Book, Outgoing/Missed/Recieved Calls. Ya termasuk gak bisa mengirim SMS dari PC…. Mungkin karna wammu-nya versi 0.19-3. Jadi gak sabar nih nunggu versi stable-nya release… skalian mau nyoba kannel…. cuma pesimis dah mau nyoba kannel tanpa SMPP Server…. gimananya… ????

So apparently Fedora Core 8 simply sucks (as most of their releases have for some time) and Ubuntu seems to still reign supreme for ease of use. Out of the box Ubuntu supports WPA2 which is awesome. On Fedora 8 I would have had to try and configure the WPA Supplicant daemon which seemed to be much more hassle than it was worth. As a matter of fact, I am using Firefox on my new Ubuntu install to write this post only about 45minutes after I installed the system. Score one for Ubuntu.

Mit dem neuen Fedora Core 8 hält der neue Audio-Server “PulseAudio” Einzug. Doch mit ihm auch einige Schwierigkeiten, was die durch die zahlreichen Anfragen im deutschen Fedoraforum belegt wird. Bei meiner Installation lief es ähnlich. Ging zwar nach der Erstinstallation alles hervorragend und konnte ich über die Mixfähigkeiten des PulseAudio-Server nur so staunen, ärgerte ich mich umso mehr, als ich nach dem Einloggen und starten von Gnome als Normalnutzer keine Soundunterstützung bekam. Die Fehlermeldung für weiße Haare wies mich auf entweder a) eine nicht funktionierende / existierende Soundkarte hin oder aber nach fehlerhaften GStreamer-Plugins, die nicht mit der Karte arbeiten würden. Warum aber funktionierte die Karte und der Soundserver jedoch als “root”-Nutzer, jedoch nicht als Normaluser?

Zahlreiche Foreneinträge habe ich mir zu fehlerhaften Soundkartenausgaben im Zusammenhang mit PulseAudio durchgelesen, zahlreiche Bugs in den Buglisten durchgesehen, bis ich auf einen Nebensatz stieß, der es wert war, ausprobiert zu werden, bzw. unbedingt beachtet zu werden. In ihm stand nämlich, dass beim Booten unbedingt der Daemon “ConsoleKit” gestartet werden musste, damit “PulseAudio” fehlerfrei funktioniere.

Nur was tut ConsoleKit?

“ConsoleKit is a system daemon for tracking what users are logged into the system and how they interact with the computer (e.g. which keyboard and mouse they use). This is used by Fedora – Fast User Switching. It is recommended to leave ConsoleKit enabled primarily for Gnome. Other than user switching, both automounting devices and power management in Gnome depends on ConsoleKit. Hence it is generally recommended to leave this service enabled.”

Gesagt, getan. Nach einem “reboot” läuft nun auch der Sound als Normalbenutzer.

Mit dem Update auf Fedora Core 8 habe ich feststellen müssen, dass die Firmware für die Wireless-Karten mit einem Broadcom-Chipsatz nicht mehr funktionieren. Also habe ich bei linuxwireless.org meine Antwort gefunden: B43 heißt die zu verwendene Firmware-Version, die mir bereits dmesg als Version 4 kennzeichnete. Das Installationsverfahren mittels b43-fwcutter ist analog zu diesem Verfahren und kann bestens verwendet werden. Nun funktioniert die interne Karte wieder und bietet mit sogar endlich das Einstellen der Rate an. Vorher hechelte die interne Karte über die BCM43xx-Ware mit gerade mal 1 MBit/s, ohne dass die SET Rate – Option erkannt und akzeptiert wurde.

Una impresion de usar Fedora 8 WereWolf quizas odiosamente comparada con Ubuntu, pero era con lo unico con lo que podía hacerlo.

Pues quizás fui el primer gil que se bajo la ISO DVD de FC8, la estaba esperando desde hace mucho… (el 6 más o menos ). Cuestión que apareció, se bajo (via torrent) y lo instale. La verdad, (no me tiren vegetales) no le encontré nada del otro mundo. Quizás sea que estoy muy acostumbrado a Ubuntu, pero en cuanto a vídeo me llevo toda una noche instalar los drivers más recientes para mi tarjeta Nvidia con los repositorios Livna, cosa que en Ubuntu se hace de uno o dos click’s.. lo peor fue que el resultado no me gusto, el desempeño 3D del escritorio no parecía de lo mejor, y la reproducción de vídeo en el firefox corría a saltos. Me tope también con que cuando trate de ver un vídeo en formato DivX, al igual que Ubuntu, me ofreció bajar los codecs necesarios para reproducirlos, pero mi sorpresa fue que por algunos (los de vídeo) me cobraba, algo asi como una compra en linea. Quizás no entendí bien que paso, pero por un codec para ver divx me cobraba 13 euros… (con lo caros que están en Chile). Me extraño eso, pero manualmente pude instalar los codecs necesarios para reproducir video…

Una cosa a favor y que siempre le voy a encontrar bueno a Fedora es su sistema de instalacion más personalizado, quizas para un usuario novato le sirva el instalador de ubuntu ya sea en su forma Live o Alternate, pero para mi siempre ha sido buena la posibilidad de elegir que paquetes instalar, tales como la suite de ofimatica, el escritorio, etc.. La distro se siente más tuya y hasta adopta mejor tu personalidad.

Al final que aquí estoy contento con mi distro de Ubuntu 7.10, quizás con más ganas y tiempo libre me dedique a probar más a fondo FC8, pero por ahora le doy más importancia a la facilidad de configuración que es donde creo que Ubuntu apunta. Total, Linux es Linux aquí y en cualquier distro y solo es cuestión de instalar los paquetes necesarios para que haga lo que necesitas.
