I'm one of the people looking after the site once in a while.

Help is very much welcome ;)

[Harry Sileoni]

Hi!

While fighting for some time with my Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop and a new
kernel. No matter what I did in the APM-settings, the computer just
freezed after some minutes of uptime. Now I noticed a page witch
informed me that APIC support should not be used. I disabled APIC
support from the kernel config, and now it works perfect.

So, I suggest you add a line "This option might make your system hang
randomly" to the APIC support help page, so that other innocent people
with the same problem don't have to do hours of fighting with the APM,
which really wasn't the problem as I first though. :)

Thanks for a great kernel, and keep up the good work! :)

1. All recent 2.5/2.4 kernels have a blacklist rule that is supposed
   to prevent the kernel from enabling the local APIC.
   That kernel version are you using? What .config?
   Doesn't the kernel boot log contain something like "Dell Inspiron
   with broken BIOS detected. Refusing to enable the local APIC"?
2. There is no "APIC support help page" that I know of.

Are you sure you didn't mean ACPI instead? APIC != ACPI but
people keep confusing the two.

The Dell Latitude C840 (what I have) and the (AFAIK) Inspiron 8100 both use
the NVidia geForce4 Go graphics chipset, and apparently the posted patches
to make nvidia's closed-source drivers work under 2.5 have issues with ACPI
on some platforms.  Digging back, I only found like one message on the LKML
archives that mentioned the nvidia drivers don't play nice with ACPI.

Harry - does that match up with what you have?

Note that you can buy replacement non-nVidia graphics cards for the I8x00 
as spare parts fairly cheaply, and they're very easy to install.

It's easier to get my employer to pay for my time to fix software issues
with the laptop they paid for than it is to get them to shell out money
for what they'd consider a hardware workaround.  And even at "fairly
cheaply", I'm not going to buy it out of my own pocket.  It's a hell of
a lot easier to simply skip ACPI till somebody (perhaps I) figure out how
to fix it... ;)

Hi gentlemen

Simply a suggestion based on the following experience....
Protowall is an "IP Blocker" running under Windows...
It does one thing i.e compare inbound/outbound IP against a list ( 
supplied by BlockList manager...under Windows too)
BlockList Manager maintains a complete ( hopefully !!!) list of all 
those companies ( spammers, Music companies, Anti Peer toPeer, Some Far 
East Police ( surprising no ! )...and so on) who send over and over 
packets trying to enter our computers...
Even, unsuspectable software, such as Norton AntiVirus, each time you 
upgrade your virus list, 6 packets ( contening what ?) to an AP2P site

Should an Inbound/outbound IP be in the list, then the packet is 
dropped...That's all what Protowall does in background..
In my case, filtering 2.6E9 adresses( which is huge...I'm not 
paranoid...just for test...),burns aroud 6% of my CPU time

I was thinking of a module ( alike connec-track or Ip_queue ), some kind 
of Netfiler module, who in background could filter packets against a 
list of nasty IP's

Thks for your patience reading that !

Sincerely

Claude G.

How about this list using the Prefix feature?

Sure, why not. Wolf, could you add "[mlmmj]" as a subject prefix?

[Kolusion K]

Hello


Recently I have been fed up with all the low quality hobby software in the open source world and I have been wishing there was a true alternative open source operating system to Windows which doesn't suck. I had considered TempleOS but my games don't run on it. :)

This got me looking into the history of operating systems where I read MS-DOS was written in just 6 weeks.

Somehow I got onto looking at the Linux Standards Base and I was surprised at how well organised it is as well as how complex it is.

This got me thinking... With the amount of effort that went into creating the Linux Standard Base, that effort instead could have been used to create an official Linux userland etcetera and turn Linux into an operating system.

The world likes real operating systems. That's why MS-DOS dominated and why Windows continues to dominate, and why Microsoft is the worlds leading software developer. More people create applications for Windows than any other operating system and the applications are overall higher quality than applications for other operating systems.

My suggestion is instead of working on the Linux Standard Base, instead use that effort to create Linux into an actual operating system.

The world needs a true open source quality operating system that isn't just hobby software.


Sincerely,

Kolusion

Hi,
My name is Brian Goodwin. I've been using the GRUB bootloader for a long time and would like to make a suggestion.
Bootloaders for a lot of other systems have the ability to shut down/reboot the device by simply selecting an option within the menu. For example, the "Turn off this PC" button can be used to shut down the device in the modern boot menu for Windows.
Using a simple script, I created a shutdown and reboot menu option. It would be nice to have these, as it would provide an easy way to shut down/reboot the device if the user wishes to do so. I've attached a file with the scripts I wrote.
Respectfully,Brian Goodwin

GRUB is supported on a large variety of platforms and implementing such feature
would only make sense if it could be made available on all of these platforms and
not just x86_64.

I'm not sure that this is feasible.

Not just feasible but I'd already done on all of them that support it. We
even use them in tests
