Just rambling commands and package installs

[rokytnji]

Just some commands I use

[rokytnji]

Lets try this again. Wireless commands I use for info.

Code:

echo uname: && uname -a -m -p && echo lspci: && lspci && echo lsusb: && lsusb && echo lsmod: && lsmod && echo ifconfig: && ifconfig && echo ifconfig -a: && ifconfig -a && echo iwconfig: && iwconfig && echo resolv.conf: && cat /etc/resolv.conf && echo route: && route -n

Above command must be ran as root in terminal to get all relevant info.

lshw and hwinfo must be installed before running below commands in Vector 7 Std Gold. You won't find them in Gslapt in Vector 7.

hwinfo-13.57-i686-1jsc.tgz

lshw-B.02.16-i686-1cf.txz


Commands I use are

Code:

lshw -C network

Code:

su -c "hwinfo --wlan"

Code:

su -c "hwinfo --netcard"

Happy Trails, Rok

I don't know if any Vector Linux members know of this search engine. So just posting the link here.

It makes a good bookmark.

How to find if your computer supports a linux pae kernel

Code:

grep pae /proc/cpuinfo

If you get nothing on the  read out. You probably don't have a cpu that supports a pae kernel. Mine for a reference.

Code:

$ grep pae /proc/cpuinfo
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc up pebs bts pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl cid cx16 xtpr pdcm lahf_lm

shows that this box (my M/C shop media center Emachine 3407 Desktop)  supports a linux pae kernel.

Just uploading some mtu's and .pls and .asx stuff so I can find later. Anybody else is welcome to them. I keep the extracted streaming folder in ~/Music. It's a bit of a mess though (duplicate .tar and stuff).
