No. For me, it is not working OOTB with NM and usb_modeswitch. But
with conf file in the link, which was provided by Lena, is working for
me. Modem got detected by the wvdialconf and able to make a data call.
But due to the following PPP error, "unable detect the remote IP",
wrong/default gateway route entry is getting added and packets are not
going out.

Anybody faced this kind of issue? Is there any tweaking is need at
/etc/ppp/option or dialer conf file?

Bye :)

Re: Linux Compatible Modem

Guys, the root of the problem is in udev rules.
Here is the commitment where developers removed the support for that
hardware from the udev:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commitdiff;h=8a993fab2f218234f06743bcc127dda61a45711b
If fact, the whole "extra" module together with modem-modeswitch was
obsoleted upstream

So if you use sys-fs/udev-149 and above you need to use
>=sys-apps/usb_modeswitch-1.1.1
(it has the proper udev rules for different modems).

Once it's done, check if /dev/ttyUSB* exist and you are ready to move
on for the ppp configuration.

Cheers,
Anton

Part time job / Evening Job

Hi all,

My day job is a full time system/network administrator handling Linux systems.

Looking for part time job or evening job from 10pm on wards. Need not be system or network related job, can be anything but nothing physically too demanding, else I'll not be able to perform my primary function properly.

Funding for my further study.

I can't work on weekend.

Thanks and best regards,
~~~+~~~
Palden

[OT] Notebook battery disposable

I need to dispose of two notebook batteries (apple macbook) which
are bulging and which Apple is not willing to exchange.

Where I can I do that environmentally friendly in SG? Are manufacturers
required to take them back or is there a place I can bring them?

thanks

Re: [OT] Notebook battery disposable

Perhaps, you can start your search from the following website or
simple give them a call:

tcp_wrapper around non-libwrap services, say synergy+?

Dear all,

Just a quick check: can tcp_wrapper be used on services not linked to 
libwrap? I am trying to secure synergy+, maybe by wrapping it around 
tcp_wrapper, but not having much success. Not even sure whether that is 
possible, since synergy+ does not understand tcp_wrapper.

Any idea how to do this? Thanks!

Regards,
Junhao

SATA link reset errors

Hi.

Of late, I am noticing link reset errors like the following in my kernel logs:

-------------------------
Jun 13 14:22:54 cellar kernel: [  325.280104] ata4.01: exception Emask
0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6
Jun 13 14:22:54 cellar kernel: [  325.280110] ata4.01: BMDMA stat 0x46
Jun 13 14:22:54 cellar kernel: [  325.280114] ata4.01: failed command:
WRITE DMA EXT
Jun 13 14:22:54 cellar kernel: [  325.280121] ata4.01: cmd
35/00:00:80:1d:36/00:04:1b:00:00/f0 tag 0 dma 524288 out
Jun 13 14:22:54 cellar kernel: [  325.280123]          res
51/84:41:3f:1e:36/84:03:1b:00:00/f0 Emask 0x30 (host bus error)
Jun 13 14:22:54 cellar kernel: [  325.280127] ata4.01: status: { DRDY
ERR }
Jun 13 14:22:54 cellar kernel: [  325.280129] ata4.01: error: { ICRC
ABRT }
Jun 13 14:22:54 cellar kernel: [  325.280140] ata4: soft resetting
link
Jun 13 14:22:54 cellar kernel: [  325.468415] ata4.01: configured for
UDMA/133
Jun 13 14:22:54 cellar kernel: [  325.468430] ata4: EH complete
-----------------------------

These happen whenever there is even a moderate amount of disk i/o
going on. At first, I thought my 3+ years old Seagate 7200.10 SATA
disks were dying. So I went out & bought a new 1TB Seagate 7200.12
disk but these errors persist.

One difference though is that the older disks triggered "hard
resetting link" messages & the system would subsequently start
throwing I/O errors on all disk writes. No such errors on the new disk
so far but the 'soft resetting link' errors make me nervous.

The errors started on Ubuntu Karmic but I'm on Lucid now & still
seeing the errors. The motherboard is a Biostar Intel chipset one.

Any ideas what is going wrong or what I can do to narrow down the problem?

Thanks,
Deepak.
