SnatchRabbit posted:Quick question--I am going to run the latest version of knoppix straight from the CD/DVD drive. Will I be able to run/install programs and use the bluetooth hardware on my laptop? You can run programs included on the disc; if you want to install new software or save your preferences you can write to a partition on media like a HDD or USB drive. This FAQ should help you out if you have additional questions: http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Knoppix_FAQ If your bluetooth hardware is supported under Linux in general, it should work without issue under Knoppix.

Al Azif posted:It happens with pretty much every .mkv I've run into, but looking at them they all seem to be high-res h.264 with AC3 audio. So blame it on that, I guess. Try upping the cache (-cache blah) when using HD H.264 files; that stopped frame hitching on my old Athlon machine.

Spartan22x posted:Also, is there a way to get working graphics drivers for Nvidia cards? The ones in the repository are broken :s I'm not familiar enough with the Debian packaging system to know the Right Way to install older drivers offhand, but here's their Wiki page on the subject: http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers You could also just use the NVIDIA installer from: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.11.html

Has anyone ever had issues with the madwifi driver and the AR5212 chipset? I have a D-Link DWL-G510 that was pretty difficult to get stable with a Linksys dd-wrt AP: Sep 25 14:34:19 box wpa_cli: interface ath0 DISCONNECTED Sep 25 14:34:20 box dhcpcd[27270]: ath0: received SIGTERM, stopping Sep 25 14:34:20 box dhcpcd[27270]: ath0: removing default route via 192.168.1.1 metric 2000 Sep 25 14:34:20 box dhcpcd[27270]: ath0: deleting IP address 192.168.1.102/24 Sep 25 14:34:20 box dhcpcd[27270]: ath0: exiting Sep 25 14:34:23 box wpa_cli: interface ath0 CONNECTED Sep 25 14:34:24 box dhcpcd[28193]: ath0: dhcpcd 3.0.16 starting Sep 25 14:34:24 box dhcpcd[28193]: ath0: broadcasting for a lease Sep 25 14:34:24 box dhcpcd[28193]: ath0: offered 192.168.1.102 from 192.168.1.1 Sep 25 14:34:24 box dhcpcd[28193]: ath0: leased 192.168.1.102 for 86400 seconds Sep 25 14:34:24 box dhcpcd[28193]: ath0: adding IP address 192.168.1.102/24 Sep 25 14:34:24 box dhcpcd[28193]: ath0: adding route to 192.168.1.0 (255.255.255.0) via 0.0.0.0 metric 2000 Sep 25 14:34:24 box dhcpcd[28193]: ath0: removing route to 192.168.1.0 (255.255.255.0) via 0.0.0.0 metric 0 Sep 25 14:34:24 box dhcpcd[28193]: ath0: adding default route via 192.168.1.1 metric 2000 Over and over, at random. At first I tried switching channels and positioning the antenna to raise the overall signal, but it would still drop out even with a -47dBm to -95dBm ratio. Eventually, doing all this got it to where I wouldn't have packet loss just pinging the router, and the random dropouts ceased: Disabling protected mode, bursting, fast frames, and background scanning on the card, and lowering the ACK timing (to 0) and beacon interval (to 75ms) on the router. I was mainly wondering if anyone else had a similar experience. Hopefully the ath5k driver becomes a viable replacement relatively shortly (I'm pretty certain it's the card driver since my other wireless devices didn't have this trouble).

deimos posted:Did it work before switching to Linux? Maybe it's a dd-wrt power setting. Try flipping the antennas from the router to your adapter. It's only ever been a Linux machine; I did try bumping the transmission power, but the router isn't very far from everything else and I was seeing overall signal degradation compared to the default 28mW setting. I had a homemade parabolic reflector that I tried on both the router and the adapter; the SNR was higher, but I was still getting the inexplicable dropouts :/ Either way, it's alright now with the setting tweaks mentioned above - I just wish I had a better explanation for what the issue was in the first place

When I plug it in, my system doesn't recognize it and the circle in the middle of the controller just blinks. You may want to try this userland driver - http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/, as the other method requires mucking about with the kernel: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2508490

On the bright side, I haven't had problems with nspluginwrapper and 32-bit Flash 9 under 64-bit Firefox in a good while. I'm wary to give Flash 10 a spin just yet though.
