View 10 RepliesI just installed Gnome Shell in Ubuntu 11.04 through UGR Linux and everything works fine! The only problem is that I cannot run make and make install. I get the following errors:

Is it possible to do a 'minimal' install similar to Arch Linux or Sabayon Linux CoreCD?Would these be done by checking/unchecking packages from the DVD?Reason for this is, that I want to install XFCE and/or other DE besides GNOME or KDE, but want to do it from a 'clean' install.I don't like the custom spins because they are not 64bit...

Is it possible to create a loadable module for a C app that could be loaded into the app in runtime from a CLI or web interface?I would like the code to handle a particular type of structure to be "swappable" for lack of a better term. This would allow different modules to be used based on the users wants without having to mess with code. A different module could be downloaded into the application directory then loaded. Basicaly the code would be handed a pointer process it then return it.

Firstly i have to inform you that I'm completely new to fedora and linux..
i have an IBM R51 laptop with Pentium M 1.5Ghz, RAM 512mb and intel 855GME graphics. I'd like to install fedora 15 with gnome 3 and take advantage fully of its capabilities! as far as I'm concerned i should upgrade my RAM and graphics.. could you please suggest me an option, for the RAM and the graphics, that will be compatible with my existing hardware? (I'm a bit of an amateur and so i can't really tell the model of the motherboard
I've got an install of CentOS 5.3 in a VM which was installed without X or Gnome.I've added X (yum groupinstall 'X Window System') and Gnome (yum groupinstall 'GNOME Desktop Environment) and can now run startx no problem.However on boot I get a command line login rather than the graphical login screen one normally gets if Gnome is included at install time.What do I need to do to get the graphical login after boot?

I really enjoy using both ubuntu and fedora. I am finding that I am in some ways perfering fedora over ubuntu, but think that the look and feel of fedora is awful. Basically I would like to make fedora 14 look exactly like Ubuntu (11.04) with unity disabled so technically it is gnome 2.32.1 I really like the "unity-icon-theme" ubuntu offers, as well as the Ubuntu-Mono-Dark
now in ubuntu say I wanted to download the unity icon theme, I would type in:
sudo apt-get install unity-icon-theme and it takes care of the rest by itself,
now in fedora I type: sudo yum install unity-icon-theme Of course it does not work, how would I manually go about copying the unity-icon-theme and or Ubuntu-Mono-Dark theme from Ubuntu over to fedora? I am unsure if "Controls" and "Windows Borders" use the same method, but I would also like to manually copy and enable them in fedora. So the end result is a Fedora box looking exactly like a Ubuntu box?
installed F12 and noticed that the volume control applet is now all Pulseaudio rubbish, not Alsa like gmixer used to be. So now I don't seem to be able to mute my speakers when I'm using my headset, which in F10 I could do by just muting LFE/Center.Note I don't want the speakers to be disabled when I have the headphones plugged in (like Jack does) I just want to be able to control volume of the mixer channels individually - as sometimes I'll be playing music through the speakers and will receive a Skype call and want to mute the music, but also don't want the Skype sound coming out of the speakers - just the headphones.
I've tried setting up 4.1+input, 5.1+input, 4.0+input etc; but for some reason, even though the PulseAudio mixer thing has 5 individual sliders, they do nothing as they "jump" back to 100% when you slide them - even with the channels unlocked. gmixer and alsamixer do the job, but pulseaudio is the applet and only seems to control the master volume, not the individual channels. Any ideas - or perhaps a way to make gnome-volume-control revert back to actually being gmixer?
I cannot right click with my mouse on the gnome applications menu to get the properties/edit menu option. This is on F12 on 64bit.
Instead I get: "help, remove from panel, lock panel". I dont have this problem with anything else on the top bar.

I have a user running a retail copy of RH 5 Ent. and isn't sure what package he needs. He is a developer and when installing other instances of RH he just checked off basically all of the packages under development during the initial installer. Now, he's trying to add packages but they require dependencies and he is not able to auto-satisfy those dependencies.
Is there a way that I can get back to that menu during the initial installation and let him check off all the boxes that he wants, or can I have RH auto-install all packages from DVD or install all required packages from DVD?
I noticed that in Fedora 15 Beta when you choose a minimal install then add ONLY the defaults of the "GNOME Desktop" package, you will get this error: gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 has a required package:
system-backgrounds-gnome
When I look for gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 it is not on any installation menu list. I prefer gnome, but installed KDE and that worked. Any ideas of getting gnome to work?
I saw something interesting online somewhere and failed to bookmark it and is not in my history (different install in the past) Now I can't find it. It told of a way to make a cd or dvd with the deb packages of your choice, then you could install a fresh copy of ubuntu, switch to that cd, activate it, and a while later, voila, all your software is installed. No need to pick and hunt and wear your mouse finger out in synaptic or wait on downloads.
Can someone teach me how or direct me to the method in question? It was a fairly automated process, I don't remember it requiring me to make a script or anything technical, just choose the software somehow and tell it to burn the cd. Anything similar to this would be acceptable. I just want to load a dvd or two up with software and run them after I install Ubuntu.
I know I can just save the deb files manually to a cd or other backup medium and click them one at a time, but the problem there is that if I want to have gparted for example, I also have to remember to get dmraid, kpartx, etc. and manually install them too. Even this is not an issue as long as there is no certain order of installing those packages, if that ALWAYS is the case.
I don't want to make a custom ubuntu install cd with said software because I'm not certain I can do this and have an "alt" cd which is what I want to use to install ubuntu, or can I? (I do manual partitioning with encryption, or what if it all won't fit on a single cd) I want something "fresher" and more virginal than a full system backup/restore.
We are looking for a solution that allows us to restore a servers "identity" in the event of hardware failure...ie Name, IP address, dhcpd, named configs etc.
We have ISO images of the appliance images that contains all the software and stuff. There is no real data on these servers.
If we backup the entire ETC directory and perhaps the /var/lib can we simply restore that and get everything back?
What concerns me is how some versions of Suse use UUID for the network config and the mounts points.
install an o.s called Backtrack4,which basically consist of tools such as metasploit,nmap etc since i am interested in knowing and improving my knowlege on such programs,BUT what stops me from installing backtrack4 is that i am bothered whether the commands that work in redhat/fedora(yum,grep,ps,etc) will work in backtrack4??Is Backtrack one of the distros of linux?

NOTE:- {a6} command serves the purpose of putting the subtitles on top of the screen, making it possible for subbers to display lyrics/additional footnotes on top, while at the same time, having the dialogues to show in their usual position.
Is there are way to force either of them to read the special commands properly?
Things were running fine until GNOME misbehaved;

View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently switched from ubuntu to fedora and had a script to mount and umount sshfs when the network changed states. I placed the scripts in /etc/network/if-up.d/ and /etc/network/if-down.d/ and they were run any time the network went up or down. The closest thing I've been able to find is editing the ifup and ifdown scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripting/, but that looks like it would be broken after an update. I'd also rather not use a script with ping because that wouldn't work well when the network goes up and down several times.I've been looking for a while and haven't been able to find a method similar to debian on fedora. Is there something I overlooked?
