[OT] Motherboard Repair
by Rony Bill 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

Hello All, I have a query related to my repair of a Mercury 810e mobo. It was my first serious attempt to repair a mobo after an earlier successfull case of a P4 mobo with swoolen caps. _System:_ P3 1.13 GHz., Mercury 810e mobo with on board sound and video. _Problem:_ The system would stop suddenly while working and the display would become blank with the monitor going into standby. It could be turned on again only by power off/on. Again the display would disappear after some minutes and the system would require restart again. Many a times the system would never start at all. A pci display card was tried out but after initial bootup, it became off again and never started. _Diagnosis:_ SMPS unit was swapped and found OK. RAM ok. On the mobo, there is a step down circuit that converts 5V input to 1.5V output for the bus gate circuitry. This 1.5V was missing whenever the mobo would not start. On some occasions, luckily the mobo would start and since I had no HDD with me, I used a live linux CD as the OS. Knoppix does not go beyond console so 'Cool Linux', a Russian/English distro was used. It gave a window display for a few minutes but then the system went off again. The 1.5V fires up on power on but after a few seconds to some or more minutes it shuts off. _Solutions Tried:_ The dc-dc converter chip 34063 replaced but no effect. The power caps were resoldered and the system came alive for a few minutes, then off. The vga connector pins were resoldered and the system ran for more than half an hour but went off. However now even cool linux does not go beyond console. When the problems start, the system does not start again till quite some time and a lot of fiddling. The cpu is cool. Any help from anyone experienced in this is most welcome. If someone can explain the concept behind power signals, thats welcome too. Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger - NEW crystal clear PC to PC calling worldwide with voicemail http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

tcp throput v/s udp throput
by Trevor Warren 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

Morning Fellas, Was working on some socket progs based on some performance test objectives we had in mind. The objective is to stress the TCPIP stack in the GnuLinux kernel and see the best numbers achiveable over the network. Am in a bit of a quandry here. We always were taught that the overheads of a tcp session were higher than that of UDP considering the ACK's and FIN's sent across for every packet over the n/w, while TCP guaranteed delivery....blah..blah and UDP didn't. Should i expect better throughput(Bytes/s) for TCP or UDP over a *Reliable* LAN and *Unreliable* WAN?. I will let you know what results i have achieved but i would like to know your perspective since thats more important. The tests are on my RHEL 3.0 box with the RH hacked 2.4.x kernel. I will post the connect/send/recv code to those interested. The throughput calculation code is same for both the TCP and UDP programs hence the calculations i am sure about. What do you think about it gurus???. Has anybody tried out SCTP???.

From: sundarram <sundar_ram2003(a)yahoo.co.in> To: linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2005 12:40:55 +0100 (BST) Subject: [ILUG-BOM] Some Linux Projects i am a final year project. I thought of doing my project in linux OS. I searched topic in net but not able to get some good topic. Can u plz give me some topic in linux. so that i can do it as my project. Plz send it specifically to my id sundar_ram2003(a)yahoo.co.in thank you rsundarram --> Projects are available...lots... What you have to do is select one! How? ...Well, Just to cite an example, the KDE Desktop Environment is an Open source project. You can develop a component or a portion of it. Or you can find out more about this at http://www.kde.org Also, many other things like Indian Language support for GNU/Linux based OSes is a major one... or a smaller one would be developing easier packages for Distros (so that a double click wud automate the entire process of installation!) --------------------------------- Check out Yahoo!
