I am trying to convert my own CD's that I own into .MP3 format for my Sony 16GB MP3 Walkman. I did some looking on Google and found these free/nonfree repositories that you can add and then update YUM, etc....well I still can not get it to work. I am rather new to Linux. I am trying to use Audio CD Extractor under applications/sound & Video. It does not work in Rythmbox either. What do I do now? I am trying to use Linux day in and day out and no longer use Windows.
I have searched through piles of postfix and sendmail documentation but I'm not sure of the terminology to describe what I want to do so I'm never sure what solutions are workable. Null client, relay hosts. What I have already is a RHEL postfix server which sends and receives email. What I want to do is add a second postfix server to the network. The second server should accept only ssl smtp mail and forward it on to the main postfix server. Users shouldn't use it for normal internal sending/receiving. It's only to allow me to support ssl smtp from people working out of the office without messing about with the main postfix server. I thought a Null Client sounded likely but I don't think it will accept mail. Is it a relay host I'm trying to configure? Any pointers on configuring something to just accept secure smtp and forward?
I use gedit for most of my document editing and reading. But if I need to open a document thats in either the rtf or doc format, I end up having to open up OpenOffice (which takes a while on a netbook). Not to mention I have to use up precious disk space with OO.o installed. So I ask, is there anyway to add support for those two documents types?
I'm testing a support ticketing system (osTicket), and am trying to set up the server so it can send and receive messages using an external email account so it will, you know, work.When you try to add an email account, it spits out the error "IMAP doesn't exist. PHP must be compiled with IMAP enabled." in the web interface.So apparently IMAP isn't enabled in PHP. And apparently I have to recompile PHP to add that particular function. Um... how i do that? i not so good with computer
I've used linux for basic things in the past but I'm afraid I need to recompile a kernel and I don't even know where to get started. There's so much information on google and I'm not familiar with the terminology to even know how to effectively search for what I'm looking for.
Basically, I'm loading Ophcrack via TFTP/PXE, but I want to be able to mount one of the shares on my samba server instead of it looking for a /tables/ folder on the current device. I already know how to modify the launch.sh script to get it to do what I want, however I'm stuck on how to mount a samba share through CIFS.
Code: modprobe mount.cifs returns that the module is not loaded or is not found. Is there a way to add mount.cifs?
Code: su root mkdir -p /mnt/tables/ mount -t cifs //10.10.2.3/pxeboot/ophcrack/tables/XP/ /mnt/tables/ Doesn't work either. I'm kinda stuck.
We installed Fedora on top by my WindowsXP, we have updated the connection information with the addresses, but can't access any website. Connection Manager says we're connected. We created a new wired network connection, but it doesn't appear in the choices.
I installed Ubuntu recently and had a similar problem, only mine was that my computer was competing with hers (something to do with DHCP). The solution was to alter my /etc/network/interfaces file, but I also screwed with settings in the "Network Connections" thing, pretty much altering a connection my /etc/network/interfaces file seemed to have made. My problem was only solved as far as I cared. I wonder if this is the same problem.
On the other hand, we attempted connecting the Fedora box directly to a modem and still no internet, so I believe they are entirely unrelated. But I wanted to include this for completeness in case they are.
I'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel. We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change. I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information. Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.
I have a HP laptop which can support 1600x900. But after I install ubuntu 9.10 on it, it can only support up to 1280x700. My laptop has a Nvidia graphics card. And i am using GNOME as my desktop environment.
I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on this computer and I told it not to install a bootloader since I already have Fedora and it is my main OS. I then realized I didn't know how to add it to menu.lst here so I can't boot Ubuntu. How do I do this?
I've downloaded some new fonts and want to play with them. I know that I could simply add them to ~/.fonts, but I'd like to do it right, and make them available system wide. (Yes, I know I'm the only user, but I'd like to learn how to do it on a multi-user system.) I've looked in /share/fonts and seen a number of folders containing font groups, but each of these fonts is complete in one file. Should I just dump them into /share/fonts or should I make a special folder, let's say /share/fonts/custom and install them there?
just getting startedin linux <fedora9> and haveseveral questions. first what bookwould be best to start the learning process? have looked at fedora 9 and enterprise and the newest fedora 10 with enterprise and these seem to be aimed at networking setups which I do not have.also in adding users and groups which I have done I think successfully however when I use the newgrp command and try to access a file I have saved under a group with two members the file does not show in the ls command.
users are jevans in group programmers cevans in group programmers in creating the file I didthe newgrp programmers command and created the filein the cevans spotand changed to jevans and negrp programmers and the filedoes not show.so what do I do here, or is my understaning of this incorrect?
So I just installed OpenSUSE along side Fedora11 and it appears the SUSE grub simply removed Fedora from the menu.lst instead of adding to it... what exactly do I need to put to get it back into the list? My Fedora resides on sdb8 on my partition setup.
I'm trying to understand the performance of my machine and memory usage just isn't adding up. When I run top it will typically show 301M of 308M used but the total of everything in the RES column is no where near 300M and the total of %MEM column isn't more than 20-30%. So how do I figure out what is using all the memory? Then is there some way to control it to optimize performance?
I have bits and pieces but I'm wondering if anyone could post a step by step way to add a user using vipw? It seems handy to know. And am I correct in saying that the user added with vipw could then be added to a group using vigr?
I have this file and i need a command to permanently add a line of code to the file and sort the file by ID. I was able to add a line with the echo command but its not permanent
I have tried the instructions online to install the 64bit flash player to my Fedora14 with not luck. After following the instructions videos from within my web browser still don't play.
I'm looking to dual-boot Windows 7 and Debian 6 upon its release on my sister's laptop. I want to share a partition between the two of them so that /home points to this directory and the Windows equivalent also points to it (C:Users).
Anyway, I've heard good and bad things about the NTFSMount driver (I think it's NTFS-3G now) and the NTFSprogs project and so I am not so certain what I should believe. I do know that NTFS has relatively high overhead, though I do not recall the source of this assertion, so I am considering the use of EXFAT. An open source EXFAT project is hosted on Google Code at [url] and it utilizes the kernel module FUSE.
I'm quite certain that I've got everything covered on the Windows side -- that is, I know that both NTFS and EXFAT will be suitable filesystems for my required usage.
My issue is that I'm curious which will have superior performance and stability in Debian. I planned on building the package from source and mounting the device in my FSTAB but I have also found a PPA for Ubuntu on Launchpad at [url] that I could borrow the debian/rules from and make a .deb package from.
What do you guys think? Should I go at it with the EXFAT or NTFS partitioning? Is NTFS-3G actually fairly supported at this point? Or perhaps should I consider some alternate method?
I have also considered that the only files she will be sharing are those of music, videos, and pictures so it could be better to just link /home/xxxx/Pictures (Music and Videos, too) to the new partition instead of all of /home.
In the Description of Evince, the document viewer supports pdf, tiff, rtf and djvu, but when I want to open a djvu file in Evince, I got the yellow frame saying that Evince does not support djvu files.I searched for a librairy or a plugin for Evince to help it support djvu but I didn't find anything.How to teach Evince to read djvu ?
hHow would I add my SSH server to run levels 3,4,5? I have been trying to search google for this answer to my problem for hours and cannot have any luck.
After installing skype from rpm I wanted to add a skype repo for future updates. As root I did 'touch skype.repo' and tried to open by 'kwrite skype.repo' but get the undermentioned error. As a user I can open the empty file with the command 'kwrite skype repo' but cannot save it as I am informed that I only have read access.
Code: [root@localhost yum.repos.d]# kwrite skype.repo kwrite(2391): Session bus not found
I have installed Windows 7 64-bit, Fedora 13 64-bit and Windows XP 32-bit. I had to install the 32-bit XP for some driver issues I have with obscure devices I own. Windows 7 and Fedora both boot with no issues but Windows XP is not the in the GRUB loader as it was installed after Fedora. I have tried adding a few entries to the menu.lst file but my attempts failed. The output of fdisk -l is here
I have implemented LVM to expand the /home partition. I would like to add 2 more disks to the system and use raid 5 for those two disks plus the disk used for /home. Is this possible? If so, do I use type fd for the two new disks and use type 8e for the existing LVM /home disk? Or do I use type fd for all of the raid disks?
