I did a lot of googling to try to fix this problem myself without finding it, so I'm putting this out there in case it helps anyone else speed up the process.

I have a Logitech QuickCam Express...

I decided to swap through my collection of aging hardware (IDE of course, DVD burner, DVD-ROM, and two CD burners) and lo, the other DVD burner seems to work just fine with the converter (at any rate...

Even now that I have it jumpered master and the converter switched to master/single, when I insert a disk it will just flash its light forever, stutter-flickering every several seconds like its...

Ha. I was about to try hooking up a different drive, but I noticed when looking in the instructions that there are switches on the converter that correspond to the master/slave/cable select...

I'm also a bit boggled because this is the whole of my lspci output:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 Host Bridge
00:01.0 PCI bridge: ASRock Incorporation Device 9602...

Which is not much. Ugh. This thread comes up way too soon in a google search, as does the source code.

I checked BIOS and it was already set for the SATA connections to be in IDE mode. This is really perplexing, but I guess I can google "failed to clear UNIT ATTENTION" and see what else I can find.

I finally thought to grab the dmesg output. These lines look significant:

[ 1.675764] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
[ 1.702319] ata1.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM...

Oh. I've never heard of that. I don't have anything come up for ls /dev/sr*, though.

I've googled and searched the forums and I don't know what else to do at this point...newegg is calling my name...but I figured I'd give this one last try before I throw out a perfectly good piece of...

Is it possible to put more than one mini.iso on a CD? I have aging computers of both amd64 and i386 types that I'd like to put a minimal install on, and I don't think they'll boot from sticks. I've...

I read the thread started by epitaph about ternary plots, but I am stymied by the R documentation available for all the ternary plotting routines. I'm trying to plot pyroxene compositions, where I'm...

I just wanted to say thank you, too, especially since this type of thing still seems to be a problem with Simple Backups. Long story short, I set it up yesterday to back up a select few directories...

"Locked up by the witch"...I solved this by having one pingus bash out, leaving the rest behind a blocker very near the entrance. The pingus that bashes out can jump from island to island...it's a...

Oh...crumbs. Sorry about that. I'm using an Acer Aspire 5102 and naturally used /lib32/ when I needed to use /lib/. That worked like a charm...I'm videoconfing with my friend right now.

I have the silver EyeToy. None of this Skype advice works for me under Karmic. Cheese works fine, xawtv is sort of black and white but I would kill for any video in Skype. I've never gotten the...

I've been having very weird issues for the past couple of days, and have looked through the forums and web and tried everything I can think of to fix it.

I was minding my own business running...

I have been having similar problems with my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard on a Dell Dimension 8200, running Karmic, and the fix suggested here did not work for me either. I use Audacious, and...
