Re: Weird memory issue

Sounds like your power supply can't power all four memory modules or your MB is bad. Kendric Beachey <kendric.beachey(a)gmail.com> wrote: I just got four 2GB memory modules for my computer (running on 1 GB was starting to try my patience). These were destined for the four slots on my motherboard (Intel DG965RY). These combinations produce a happily working machine: any one DIMM in any slot any two DIMMs in any two slots any three DIMMs in any three slots This combination produces a machine that can't get as far as the BIOS power-on self test: all four DIMMs in all four slots It fires up the fans and stuff for about five seconds, then shuts off. Then it waits about five seconds, and fires up again...and it repeats the cycle, endlessly, until I pull the plug. Has anyone seen this sort of thing before? All of the DIMMs and all of the slots have been proven to work in isolation or combinations up to three...it's just when I try to use all four at once that it conks out.

It is *mostly* possible, but a ton of work. You have to build apple's gcc, which is no fun on another OS. Also as stated you must copy those frameworks.

iOS application on Linux
by Jack 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Anyone know if one can write AND deploy iOS applications from Linux? Anyone ever used PhoneGap in Linux? Best iPhone/iPad emulator? Cheap Apple development box? I'm putting together some lesson plans for my grandson, who "says" he might want to become a game coder. Not sure he's going to love seeing all that applied Math and Physics though. Thanks, Jack

Trinity-desktop
by Jonathan Hutchins 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

I tried out the Trinity Desktop Project this weekend on Debian Lenny. Trinity is an attempt to continue development and bugfixes on KDE3 for distributions that are moving to KDE4. I would not recommend it on Lenny. It didn't make a DM entry for the old KDE, it preserved but did not import user settings. Kmail kept crashing, and I could not run the old kmail remotely over ssh. On removing all the trinity packages (aptitude purge ~ntrinity), kdm had problems determining what session to start. Fortunately, I was able to go through it's session menu and get back to the old KDE.

Linux-friendly bluetooth dongle?
by Kendric Beachey 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

This month's Linux Journal has an article about making your computer auto-lock when you leave your desk, and auto-unlock when you return, by sensing the leaving/returning of the bluetooth phone in your pocket. (You DO take your mobile phone with you....don't you??) We have a few jokesters around here that make this sound like a good idea. But neither my desktop nor my laptop have built-in bluetooth, at least not anything Ubuntu 11.10 can find. Does anyone know of a good bluetooth dongle that works well with Linux? (and is fairly affordable?) Kendric Beachey

Screen replacement on a MyTouch 3G Slide

I replaced a screen on my wife's phone and now it won't get past the MyTouch splash screen. The bootloader says there was a touch panel failure. After checking and rechecking the connections, I can't find the problem. Would anyone be able to help me with this? I would really appreciate it! -- Shane

Fwd: [FSF] New FSF membership benefit: Digital Credit Union eligibility
by Billy Crook 02 Oct '11

02 Oct '11

This was the bank I ended up choosing after trying several online banking sites out. DCU's interface is down to business, quite functional, without looking all web 2.0. The bill amounts for my utilities show up in DCU's website, and DCU automatically sends a check to pay if the bill amount is under a threshold I set. Depositing checks with their android app, like I demonstrated at a meeting, is certainly nice as well. Their log on process works flawlessly with lastpass too. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joshua Gay <jgay(a)fsf.org> Date: Tue, Sep 27, 2011 at 16:14 Subject: [FSF] New FSF membership benefit: Digital Credit Union eligibility To: info-member(a)fsf.org Free Software Foundation members living in the US are now eligible to join the Digital Federal Credit Union for their banking, thanks to DCU approving us as a participating organization. DCU is, like the FSF, a nonprofit headquartered in Massachusetts, with members in all 50 states. * Sign-up with DCU: <http://www.dcu.org/> * Share this story: <http://ur1.ca/57wgw> We are working to be able to offer this same opportunity to the many members living in other countries as well, but so far we have not been able to find appropriate partner organizations. If you know of a credit union in your country that would be willing to work with us please let us know at <membership(a)fsf.org>! Credit unions are cooperative and often nonprofit financial institutions which provide the same services as banks, but because they are member-owned, there can be dramatic differences from banks in the cost of borrowing money and use of their services. DCU is both nonprofit and democratically controlled, which means you and other members elect a volunteer board of directors to run things. The management then reports to this board. If you'd like to take advantage of this benefit, head to <https://www.dcu.org/> and complete their application. *Thank you to Danny Piccirillo, who did the work to make this possible while interning at the FSF last year.*
