your using suse.. ... you will need to install ether again.. a quick google search will tell you what you need to do..
SuSE are scared of all the licensing issues surrounding Multimedia codecs and DVD decoding and such. So they distribute an old version of Xine with old codecs. Download the SuSE 9.1 packages for xine from packman.links 2linux.org instead. Also install the MPlayer stuff from there too.

I forgot method 2... boot anylive cd.. mount the disk..
chroot to mount point..
example you mount you suse disk as /mnt/suse
chroot /mnt/suse /bin/bash
type passwd
enter new root password..
reboot. you now have the root password
-
Its good you back up because all OS can loose data.. but this is a method I use on linux to make it simple.. I only back up my home partition.. Yes partition.. I keep /home as a partition.. that way any courption of Home or / will not kill the other. plus It easy to do a bit by bit inage and then dd the partition back from any systme even windows (rawwrite in windows). also My backups are smaller.. no need ot back up the OS . We have install disk for that .. and in Gentoo applications are only a emerge away. I do back up things like smb.conf, scane.conf and cups.conf.. I hate reconfiguering these..
-
?? you mean all you see is a html file when you view the disk... ??? try getting a dsl cd or another live linux cd and see if they boot. your system may not like linux boot partitions.. ..by the way ona new knoppix cd alls you should see in winders is a HTML file. but check how much disk space is used.. aroung 650 megs.. or more?? I have seen a lot of people say.."i'll try linux on an old machine.. but not all oldmachines can do ELToro boot partitions..
-
how many charaters are in your password. if its more than 8 try only using the first 8.. also try loging in as root. you should have made two passwords at install..
-
???? nothing in my instructions would have made your windows grow.. are you sure you were not reading FREE space of 3 gigs (like the partition you have now). since that is the main number windows gives??
your coudl alwyas back up yoru important windows stuff. whipe everything.. create new partitions and reinstall installing winders first.
-
for modems you would use KPPP for a KDE desktop, gnome under system tools or internet also has a dialer setup. if its a winmodem no linux is easy.. the modem was made for WINDOWS.... its willnot work (or may not work) with other OS becase it was made not to.. its hte modem not the OS.

"NTFS partition from linux since it's not native to the kernel"
NTFS is native to the linux kernel.. it under /driver/ filessystems/ntfs,ntfs-read-only,ntfs-write,ntfs-secuerity
I have found that when windows uses a ext2/3 drive there is lots of room for error just in the way MS handels file systems.. I had a power outage and MS wrote somthign to my ext3 partition that made it unreadable.. It a warning.. As I only have a single MS box at home (my MAME arcade and it also is my xbox tunnel to play online) I don't use any.. when I had a dual boot at work before VMWARE I had problems with the ext3/2 drivers as most were written fast to give some usefulness. while the NTFS drivers in Linux have been worked on for a long time.
now I run Linux at work adn use vmware for winders if I need it (check voice mail is the only reason I know)
plus I did not find a ext driver on the page?
-
if your windows partition is almost full then it is using almost 7 gigs of space.. so no you can not make it smaller.. but you want to expand windows back to the rest of the drive.. right?? qtparted may also do that .. go back and make teh space after change the same as the whole disk.. sorry but winders can be a least 4 gigs with no extra software.. add anlmost any software like office or games and you are past 7 gigs.. It sounds like you need a new harddrive.. get a bigger one.. or use slackware or gentoo to get a smaller than 3 gig install.
-
yes .. remember .. windows can kill you ext partation as its is not Native to its kernel.
Im using kdenlive http://kdenlive.sourceforge.net/..
shame ..shame ..shame....
..good luck:)
-
under the windows go to managments (right click my computer) and disk managment.. see if you can span the disk.. as for 10 gigs as 7 it soudns liek you gave windows 3 gig and had 7 left over as free? correct.. that makes 10 gig..I do not see what went wrong.. unless you did not change the size when you told it to resize the windows partition.. I think 3 gig is default.. Sorry .. I did not think about warrning you to read the menu..
-
NA , I have a smartXX V2 chip and no dashboard replaced to put Xebian on. If I used the softmod then my menu item for Xbox live would be replaced with the boot linux option.. but that is not aginst the law as you are not using any software.. the menu is in a ini file ..its just changed.. while things like uix are dashboard replacments and *compiled* versions contain code from the XBDC from MS and is aginast the "copy" write laws to distribute.. as the agreement with the XBDC is you will not make any homebrew applications..
but you are correct.. if you changed the menu to boot linuxx and ran a say halo2 adn you click join Xbox live it will update your dashboard and the menu item will go away.(to be fixed latter)
I'm running my mythtv frontends on my Xbox.. 3 wintv250 cards in my gentoo box connected to DirectTV ... my entire home entertainment is served from my basement.. that is what full mesh is about.. I could do it all with a mini-itx board.. insted of a Xbox.. but at $70 used in the DC area.. why.. and plus I liek playing mechassult...
-
first what is codepage=850?
and the only thing you are missing is unhide.. for winders disk..
adn do you really what programs to exec from cdrom??? wine does not need that option to run winders programs....
I see no reason for the umoutn to be nessary.. do you have the newest k3b? mine does nto have that problem... but it may be yoru cdbuffer locking up that is why disk at once works..

"You cannot go onto XboxLive after installing Linux"
not 100% true... . putting linux has nothing to do with a dashboard (minus mechassult/007 hack)
with a modchip (not aginst the law if you are not playing hacked games.....
) you can load linux on the + 8gig of the hard drive (if you have 10 gig or add another drive..)
replacing the dashboard is aginst the law as all current dashboards were developed using the xbox development kit.. the opesource xbdc is not working yet so untill that day that part does break the law.. remeber Microsoft belives you should not eb alowed to open the Dell computer let alone your Xbox...
by the way putting linux on a Xbox is covered under
www.xbox-linux.org Everything done on this project is for the sole purpose of writing interoperable software under Sect. 1201 (f) Reverse Engineering exception of the DMCA.

on knoppix is a program called qtparted.. it will let you resize you r windoer partition..
steps..
boot winders...
remove swap file (diffrent ways for each version of winders....... but normally disable virtual memory..)
defrag winders (even if it says there is no need)
boot knoppix..
at the command prompt type
xhost +
sudo su
qtparted...
see http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/
for more info on qtparted.....
p0s qtparted can do almost anything partition magic can do... plus its free
-
just for giggles.. can you list your /etc/fstab
we might fix it with out you having to eject.
-
it sounds like mandrake is automounting the cdrom after the burn.. on your desktop you will probaly see the cd after its burned.. one of two fixes.. tell k3b to eject cd after burning.. or right click the cd when it shows up on the desk top and do a eject..

Bill gates had windows crash on him twice duing his keynote speech at this years CES show..
see story.
http://www.canada.com/technology/story.htm...7d-2e4fbfaf1329
intresting this story is not all over US web sites? why?
Edited: Link disabled
-
also if you could post your dmesg from linux
at a prompt type dmesg
afterbooting and past it
also how are you mounting your windows partition in fstab or manual .. if it automouts and you did not set it up post the /etc/fstab file
then one of us can write of the format proceedure.

hi team sorry i havent online for 2-3 days.and havent been able to get back .
i havent searched .the links yet .
ive inserted the modem driver cd .but frome im not sure what to do .
in mandrake 9.1 i had to extract the driver
from the the konsole. but in to mandrake 10 .i cant get it to flow on using the tab key.
the command line i used
was
root : tar pvxzf /mnt/cdrom/driver/linux/Intel-536ep-M.tgz
but once i get to cdrom it wont tab.so what am i doing wrong or in man10
does the commaND line not apply.
sorry to be so diffucult but at this stage im completly lost .
tho i know how to add and remove programs .
right now im off to investigate the links
iccaros.
posted so thanks for helping.
marty
the very first link (the one to the drive has a read me file and the newest driver for mandrake 10. do not use the one from your cd it may not work with mandrake 10 as it uses a 2.6 kernel and the cd is for the 2.4 kernel
the read me looks strait forwared enough. untill you get to permissions. let us knwo ehn you get to that point and well help you..

1. LICENSE
IMPORTANT - read the file "LICENSE.txt" for the INTEL SOFTWARE LICENSE
AGREEMENT BEFORE COPYING, INSTALLING OR USING.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Release Notes
This release is not compatible with kernels prior to 2.4.
This release supports 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels. It is not compatible to 2.2.x kernels.
The softmodem binary was compiled with gcc version 3.2
v92 support added: modem on hold AT command set,
PCM upstream, v44, and quick connect are implemented.
Linux Compatability tests are performed on the latest or previous
versions of the following distributions: Mandrake, RedHat, and SuSE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. INSTALLATION
Prerequisites:
1. root access
2. bash shell to run install scripts
3. an Intel536ep modem
4. KERNEL SOURCE HEADERS FOR THE KERNEL YOU ARE RUNNING.
(found on your distribution's CD)
6 steps to install
1. login as ROOT
2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz"
3. cd into the directory it created.
4. Type: make clean
5. Type: make 536
6. Type: make install
This will create a /dev/modem device file. This file is used as an interface to
modem by all applications: minicom, kpppd, efax, etc. Please configure the applications
to use /dev/modem if neccessary.
The installation script has been designed for the following distributions
release versions
Mandrake-release
SuSE-release
Redhat-release
Fedora Core 2 -release
Unknown distributions install modules and utilities but
will not install boot scripts!.
Please examine the 536ep-inst and 536ep-boot scripts if you have a different distribution.
The driver registers itself as character device
major number 240, minor number 1.
ATTENTION: if the driver compiles but the script just wont work for you.
Here are the bare minimum steps to get your modem to work.
0. log in as root.
1. insmod -f Intel536.o (Intel536.ko for kernel 2.6)
2. you can start "hamregistry &" at this point if you wish.
3. rm /dev/536ep
4. mknod /dev/536ep c 240 1 (note "240" is the default, if it does not
work see what /proc/devices says 536ep's major number is)
5. ln -s /dev/536ep /dev/modem
6. start a comm application like minicom and use the modem.
7. see section 3 (International Users) for info on setting the correct
country settings.
Uninstallation.
Linux modem driver is started by the boot script 536-boot. The script location
is distribution specific, usually /etc/init.d. So to uninstall the modem, delete
this file, and stop the modules using command: rmmod Intel537
make uninstall does this for redhat.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FILE DESCRIPTIONS
536-inst installation script to install 536 modules and supporting files
files copied to /lib/modules/(kernel-version)/misc
Intel536.o (Intel536.ko) modem driver
files copied to /etc/rc.d/... (path differes per distribution)
536-boot boot scrip to start and stop driver module
files copied to /usr/sbin
hamregistry hamregistry is the "registry" like tool that the modem uses to
get and store persistant data such as county info and profile strings.
files copied to /etc
hamregistry.bin file that stores the initial persistant data for modem.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. INTERNATIONAL USERS
hamregistry will store the last country setting you
set in the modem.
in minicom (or equivalent comm application)
the commmand to change country setting is "AT+GCI="
the command takes a t.35 country code in hexadecimal.
below is a list of currently supported t.35 country codes.
you can also put this "AT" command in the init string of
the comm application you are using.
if you are a CTR-21 country I think you should be able to
choose a CTR-21 country on the list and be ok. but
that's no guarantee.
The same goes for countries that are "USA" compatable.
(this table also exist in the source file wwh_dflt.c that
ships with the Intel536ep driver)

and all of the helpful Linux HaM and 536 modem users
around the world and at www.linmodems.org
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Security issues
the 536-inst and 536-boot file install the files and device nodes as
root for the owner and group.
this will cause problems for those who want to user the modem to dialout
using an account other than root.
In SuSE, "dialout" is the group used to install the files and device node.
This way, anyone belonging to the "dialout" group can use the modem to dialout.
(take a look at /etc/group)
I did not want the script to allow full access of the modem to everyone without
"root" knowing.
Edit the 536-boot and 536-inst scripts to fit your needs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Compile issues
a. this driver will now compile with the this path:
/lib/modules/<kernel version>/build/include
the 2.4.4+ kernels says to copy the /boot/vmlinuz.version.h
over to the kernel build path. I have the makefile do this
if this file exists. You must install the kernel source
code anyways. It should be on your distribution's CD.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. What is the Hamregistry?
The hamregistery is an application that stores data for the 536ep driver onto
the disk. hamregistry stores information from the driver that needs to
persist from reboot to reboot such as you current country setting.
The 536ep-inst install script and the 536-boot script start this utility
automatically for you.
If this tool is not present when the driver gets used your profile,
quickconnect, and current country setting will not be saved but the driver
should still work fine. The only step that would need to be done is to
make sure that the driver is set to the correct country with
at+gci= (see section 5)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. What's v92 and v44?
a. modem on hold: (ISP and your ISP dialer must also support this)
This will allow you to pause your ppp connection to answer an incoming
call. You will need call waiting, dialer, and ISP support for this to
work. When you are done with the call you can resume your ppp connection
without having to reconnect. The AT command set for this feature exist
in the driver.
b, pcm upstream:
(ISP must also support this, as of version 4.32 I
dont know any ISP's that do)
This will allow faster upload speeds.
to enable: at+pig=0
to disable: at+pig=1
c. quickconnect:
Once you make a call to a v92 modem, your phoneline characteristics are
stored. Whenever you make a new v92 connection it will use this data
to make the call negotiation quicker (approx 10 seconds).
to enable: at+pqc=0 at+pss=0
to disable: at+pss=2
d. v44: (ISP must also support this)
A better compression protocol than v42 which can give you better transfer
speeds.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. The Hamregistry tool
The hamregistry tool is used to provide persistance of settings across
reboots. The haminst and hamboot scripts automatically setup and start
the hamregistry background task for the modem to use.
The hamregistry tool has command line arguments for those who wish to
customize persistant settings. To use these command lines
you must first stop the driver with "bash hamboot stop".
Once the driver has been stopped you may run hamregistry with one of these
arguments to store into the /etc/hamregistry.bin persistance file:
(supply value for items in < >)
-mfg <Modem manufactures name>
-mod <Modem model name>
-hookflash <0,1,2>
hookflash method: 0=(default)without tone 1=with tone 2=reserved
-v92rptopt <0,1>
control v92 reporting: 0=PCM upsteam only 1=(default) all v92
-gpio_lpohd <0,1>
Handset Hook detection: 0=not supported 1=(default)supported
-current_country <t.35 code>
This info is written to the /etc/hamregistry.bin file.
If hamregistry.bin exists along with the installation files, haminst will
copy it to /etc/hamregistry.bin when installing the modem.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Known Bugs/Issues
a. Be aware that the build replaces your
/lib/module/<kernver>//build/include/linux/version.h file with
/boot/vmlinuz.version.h
(this is what Linus T. told me to do with a compiler error)
b. There may be an incompatibility with DevFS. The 536ep device may be located
in /dev/tts/536ep
instead of /dev/536ep. Be aware of this and link /dev/modem to the 536ep
device that corresponds to your setup.
c. Currently there is a problem with driver and SuSE 7.2 ppp
connections. I have been able to get ppp connection with bellsouth
by calling this bash script and wvdial config section:
------my script----------------------
#! /bin/sh
/usr/sbin/pppd -detach lock asyncmap 00000000 \
defaultroute debug /dev/modem 115200 \
ipparam ppp0 linkname ppp0 \
noauth \
connect "/usr/bin/wvdial --chat bellsouth"
------my /etc/wvdial.conf section ---
[Dialer bellsouth]
Modem = /dev/modem
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Inti2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
Dial Command = ATDT
Phone = 9777888
Username = myloginname
Password = mysecretpassword
#Ask Password = 1
Stupid Mode = 0
------------------
wvdial.conf can be created automatically:
wvdialconf wvtest.txt
Found a modem on /dev/537, using link /dev/modem in config.
Modem configuration written to wvtest.txt.
--------
Edit wvtest.txt as indicated. If your country is not the Unites States,
the Init lines should be
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = AT+GCI=< your hexadecimnmal country code >
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Then:
cp wvtest.txt /etc/wvdial.conf, which will later direct the dialout.
First check COMM status with:
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:D0:59:36:60:A2
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0
TX bytes:0 (0.0 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x2000
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:212 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:212 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:11316 (11.0 KiB) TX bytes:11316 (11.0 KiB)
The loopback "lo" is standard. But any extra COMM mode such as eth0
should be shut down if it will interfere with domain name services (DNS)
ifconfig eth0 down
will suffice more most systems. Check with:
ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:212 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:212 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:11316 (11.0 KiB) TX bytes:11316 (11.0 KiB)
Then dialout with
wvdial &

in case you don;t have the driver. as for maknig it dial you can use the command line
echo "atd7777777" > /dev/modem (if simlinked) should work. (I think its been a while)
or you can get minicom or kppp (should be under internet)
I ma not sure at what stage you are having problems. so I included some articals .. I would like to see this work for you. so if you could ..
Did you install a driver?
if so does it show up linked when you do a lsmod?
if so the dialing up is covered in some of the following ...
if not let us knwo so we can help with installing the driver.

the question is not can you put linux in the xbox. linux willnot let you play pireted games. linux willnot play any xbox games at least nto until the xbox emulater id done. the only thing haveing linux will do is one you have to redo the bios. some bios will let your xbox read cdr's (again linux has nothing to do with this its a bios thing)
I have linux on 4 xboxs I use for my myth tv front ends. http://www.anandtech.com/linux/showdoc.aspx?i=2271
see above for modchips.
agin if your goal is to pirate Xbox games the Bios a bios chip or mod chip is your only way.
linux on xbox faq http://www.xbox-linux.org/FAQ
sample
I installed a modchip into my Xbox, and now it says "Xbox Linux Clean BIOS", with a link to your website. How do I run copied games now?
Many modchips ship with the "Xbox Linux Clean BIOS", because it is the only working fully legal content of a modchip. This BIOS will not run copies and we have nothing to do with these modchips. Ask your modchip vendor.
Is your project illegal? Doesn't the DMCA forbid all this?
The DMCA forbids circumventing copy protection, but this is not our goal. We develop an alternative operating system for the Xbox gaming console. A side product could be the ability to run unsigned code, but this alone does not make it possible to play pirated copies of games. Nevertheless, if you live inside the USA or another country with a similar legislation, and you work on Xbox hacking rather than on Linux developing, you can of course join the project anonymously.
If you are either a lawyer or a Microsoft representative, you are of course welcome to talk to us about any changes.
Read on here (http://xbox-linux.org/docs/legal.html).
Aren't mod chips illegal?
Not as long as you do not use them for piracy. We now also offer Cromwell, an alternative ROM that contains no Microsoft code and won't permit running pirated games. Cromwell is able to install and boot Linux on your Xbox with no question about illegality.
Will I lose my warranty when running Linux?
Microsoft is very clear about this: Yes. But it isn't that easy, because there is a difference between the "warranty by law" and the "insurance of the manufacturer" (commonly called "warranty"):
* "Warranty by law" means that if the product already had a flaw when you bought it, you have 24 months (in the EU) to return it. If the product breaks within this time and you did nothing wrong that could have caused it, it must have been because of a flaw in the product, and the manufacturer is bound to replace it. In the EU, within the first 6 months, the manufacturer has to prove that it was the user's fault, if they don't want to replace it; afterwards, the user has to prove that it was the manufacturer's fault, if he wants it to be replaced.
* "Insurance of the manufacturer" ("warranty") is an insurance of the product which the manufacturer provides. They can add any set of rules that will void this insurance. The Xbox manual for example says that you have a 1 year warranty, but that you void it if you open the Xbox or run software other than games on it.
This means that you void the "warranty"/"insurance" if you open the Xbox or run Linux on it, but it does not necessarily mean that Microsoft is no longer bound to the "warranty by law" if you do this. We know of at least one (unopened) Xbox with Linux that has been repaired for free. If you have your own experiences concerning this topic, especially if you had problems, please add the info here.
Some countries might of course be different. If you can add anything to this topic, please add the info here
and to end this thread ... if you what to know about hacking the Xbox to run linux or just moding it to do what ever... that is ok but never ask on this board how to hack the Xbox to play pireted games.. some of us work places that make it a problem for people asking the question ..hint hint nudge nudge.

linux will not help you at all. .as a matter of principle they made sure that the bios you load with mechassult to put on linux will not let you to keep MS from shuting down their site.

also from http://www.linux.com/howtos/DVD-Playback-H...tall.shtml#suse
3.5. SuSE
The YaST package program included with SuSE works only with official packages, and there are no official packages that support DVD. Therefore you will have to install the packages for all of the DVD software manually.
MPlayer and Xine packages for SuSE are available on the PackMan site. For MPlayer, you need the MPlayer, lzo, and xvid packages on that page as well as the "additionally needed binary packages" listed on the page for each package. SuSE 9.0 users should note that as of this writing the MPlayer package for SuSE 9.0 has a broken libsmbclient.so.0 dependency. You can work around this problem with the commands
# rpm -Uvh --nodeps MPlayer-1.0pre3-pm.1.i686.rpm
# ln -s libsmbclient3.so.0 /usr/lib/libsmbclient.so.0
To install Xine, you should download and install the libxine1-dvd and xine-ui packages from PackMan. Encrypted DVD support in Xine also requires installing libdvdcss from the VideoLAN site.
Ogle can be installed using the Red Hat RPMs from the Ogle site. SuSE 9.0 users who want to install the Ogle_gui package will also need to install orbit, gdk-pixbuf, gnome-libs, and libglade from SuSE 8.2.
VideoLAN users will need to download the Red Hat RPMs from the VideoLAN site and install them forcibly using rpm --nodeps. The VideoLAN packages also require XFree86-compat-libs and freetype from SuSE 8.2 in order to run.
