Ok so was looking through a guide and stumbled on this: ppc --> 32-bit, compatible with all Macintosh computers (excluding Intel Macs) and the PlayStation 3. Does this mean that if I have some old Macs (G3s) to be precise I could put Fedora on it? Does this involve a whole lot of hacking or not?
View 3 RepliesCan anyone tell me if F15 is aware of the new Advanced Format Hard disks. The new dell laptop has one of these drives in it. The reason for the question is the disk is a 250Gb but only seems to have 230ish available which does seem a lot to loose? The dell website only talks about Windows and not linux. Below is from their site:
"In an effort to support higher capacity hard drives, the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) industry is moving towards Advanced Format (AF) HDDs with 4KB sectors to address the current limitations with the 512-byte sector HDDs. The transition to 4KB sector HDDs will allow storage devices to more easily adopt larger capacities in both the notebook and desktop space. While hard drives will transition to 4KB sectors and to maintain backwards compatibility, current Advanced Format 4KB HDDs, also known as 512e HDDs, will emulate 512-byte SATA communications to hosts and will operate at 4KB."
My System Intel Core Duo E5300 Mobo - Gigabyte G31M-ES2L 1GB DDR2 800MHz RAM 4 x WD20EARS HDD I have been trying to install Fedora or Ubuntu for over a week. I thought it would take an hour and i would be away. I have been trying to install using the mdadm Software RAID feature. Everytime it takes about a day to format the drives and then i get an installation error. The drives state they are ready to use as is on any operating system other then WinXP, but this does not appear to be the case.
I am very new to Fedora... I have been doing some reading.[URL].. That information has been promising. I have been able to get into Fdisk off the live CD but i can't figure out how or if it is possible to do what i want it to.
Has anyone had any luck getting these drives to function correctly in a software RAID? I have had good luck with WD drives in the past and just assumed these drives would do what i wanted to but alas i have been proven wrong.
The partitions i wanted was...
- A 2GB swap parition
- A 10 GB RAID 1 partition for Fedora
- The remaining space as a Raid 5 for files.
Am i just banging my head against a wall here, or is this possible.
I'm trying to create a user account for my children in Ubuntu 10.04
When creating their account, I have turned off the 'Connect to ethernet and wireless' option of the Advanced Settings.
However, when I log into their accounts, they still have full access to the internet through both the wireless and ethernet connections. Is this option for some other purpose?
Is there an alternate way to limit internet access for childrens' accounts in Ubuntu? (I'm used to MS Family Safety as a filter for internet access - is there an eqivalent for Ubuntu?)
I'm facing this problem since a month on Fedora 10. I have some 45 packages for upgrade through KPackageKit which belong to KDE.
While I give it to upgrade, it gives me a strange message which says
Multiple packages exist that are not compatible with each other.
This is usually due to mixing packages from different software sources.
When I press the details button, I get these details.
ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:

I've just recently installed the latest version of fedora on my machine. I already had win7 64-bit so I did a dual boot with the Fedora live CD using the "use largest amount of free space option"(I had intentionally left 30GB of unallocated space). The problem though is that fedora just keeps_crashing, at any point and very randomly. I didn't have this problem with ubuntu. Fedora can crash right after I initiate the boot sequence, or it can wait until the booting process starts, or the login screens shows up, sometimes it even lets my use the OS but invariably crashes. I've done numerous hard reboots which only seemed to worsen the matter, now I can barely get past login screen. This issue also happened on the live CD, but with perseverance I got fedora running on my computer.
There's an error message that shows up for a second or two right before the boot sequence is initiated, luckily(!) the system crashed at the moment it was showing and I was able to write it down :
pci 0000:01:00.0 : no compatible bridge window for [mem 0xfffe0000-0xffffffff pre f]
Here are my specs:
Intel p965 chipset (i heard this one didn't work well in previous fedora releases, maybe this is the problem?)
4GB DDR2 Ram
nVidia 8600 GTS graphic card
HDA Intel Integrated Soundcard
Intel core 2 duo E6400 processor.
How do I get advanced installation options on the LiveCD? In former versions, I could hit F4 for modes. Do I need to use the alternate CD instead?
For reference, this is what I'm trying to do.
I'm trying to install debian in advanced text mode.. I need to change my MAC address to work with the DHCP server, but there is no ipconfig in the shell opened by the installation menu.

View 8 Replies View RelatedThere was an advanced sound option in Fedora 11. I need those advanced sound options, because I can raise the volume on it. That which is greater than what I can go on 12. If I try to raise the volume in the sound preferences on 12. I get a static kind of sound. And it seems to have a lock at 100% when I try to raise the volume with my keyboard. Instead of whatever I can get when I raise it in preferences which is like 150% (I don't know the acutal perfentage)

I have stumbled up around many problems in the past weeks, and recently my windows server is just giving me big pain with the DNS. Instead of having constant trouble trying to fix those problems that doesn't stop coming. I am trying to find the opportunity to transfer my settings onto a Linux setup. My needs are pretty simple, I am currently creating a simple website for a school project that I need to finish fairly soon. I also need to attach it to a forum, most likely phpBB3.
My first question would be: Which OS should I opt for. CentOS, SUSE, Ubuntu Server? Should I add in features into that to make my transfer simpler? Secondly, what would be the website manager, Apache or IIS? Is php easily compatible with the systems, or will it need configuration somehow? Finally, can it be possible for me to install programs that are exclusive to windows, such as Dreamweaver? I got a small knowledge on Linux systems, but I am completely new to the server side!
I need to know what is compatible version of Fedora I need to install for build program thats can be run on RH 5.5 or 5.6 without upgrades. I know that RH6.0 built from FC12-13. So can I take FC10 and will be insured that it is right choose?
View 6 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04, I am told that the hardware is not compatible with Unity, therefore the system boots immediately into a normal, compiz-less OS. I managed to install CompizConfig Settings Manager but after I chose "Wobbly Windows" it still won't show any sings that it's using compiz.
Remember when all we used to do was:
System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects
Well, there's no "Visual Effects" tab. How to move on? I'd like to understand why I'm not even offered the chance to choose between Unity and Ubuntu Classic. Also, what happened to all the Visual Effects? How do I enable them?
I brought my netbook so I could continue to keep up with my homework, which amounts to a lot of typing and editing some TIF files.
Problem: Windows 7 isn't compatible with the router/modem I have access to, so I have no internet access in the apartment we've rented. I know that it works, because I'm using the apartment owner's ancient anemic desktop. Can't do homework on this though.
Problem 2: I have Windows 7 Starter, so I can't use compatibility mode, so I can't use Wubi.
Problem 3: I don't have an optical drive and have just a 512mb flash drive which may not work, so I'm not sure how to fix this.
Problem 4: I don't have a Windows 7 backup disc; never received one.
Problem 5: My dad works with copyright and intellectual property so he'd notice if I pirated Windows and would be extremely not okay with it.
I could probably buy a bigger flash drive if I really had to, hopefully they're not too expensive. I am most comfortqble with Ubuntu but I will use whatever will run the Gimp (or some TIF editor) and Firefox. I cannot afford to get 3 weeks behind on my homework.I've only been off the plane for a few hours and am trying to get used to the French keyboard, so I apologize for any typos that slipped through.
I have been trying to fix this problem for 3 days, any ideas before I jump through the window (not the bill gates one)?I am using ubuntu 9.10 and running a ./configure.

I have a Dell PowerEdge 840 that has no sound card. I would like to install a completely compatible sound card. I have not been able to find any recommendations for compatible sound cards on these forums, but I have learned that the C-Media chipset is supposed to be well-supported by Linux. There are C-Media sound cards on e-bay for under $10. I was considering a 6ch c-media 5.1 surround sound 3D PCI sound card. I believe the chipset is CM8738. Does anyone know whether this card is supported in F12? Or does anyone care to share any recommendations for sound cards that are known to be compatible with Fedora 12?
My intention is to be able to install a decent, inexpensive, commodity sound card that is known to be compatible with Fedora 12. I would prefer to purchase and install one that I know works rather than guessing and then fiddling with it forever and asking a lot of questions that could have been avoided.
Surprisingly, this information has been very hard for me to find. I understand that there is no Fedora hardware compatibility list, but it seems that a very brief list of hardware that is know to be compatible with the most recent release or two of Fedora could save a lot of time and resources. The purpose of such a brief list wouldn't necessarily be to see if a certain piece of hardware is compatible, but to find a component that is know to be compatible, so as to easily be able to get a completely functional system up and running.
I'm a new Fedora convert. I installed core 13 x86_64 and everything seems to be working fine. The default drivers auto-detected my dual monitors and set up an extended desktop, with the correct resolution. I do not, however, have 3D support, and the proprietary driver from ATI's website will not build. I have the ATI Radeon HD 5770. It says that my distro isn't compatible. Is this true? Do I have no 3D support options.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been searching for a while for a program to convert .flac files I rip off of cd's with my laptop (running Fedora 11) to a usable iTunes format for my desktop (running Win XP). The cd drive on my desktop is currently broken, so my fix of ripping on my desktop, then using Rhythmbox on my laptop is temporarily unavailable.
Any suggestions? I've tried audiokonverter, soundconverter, audio-convert-mod and each come up with errors or wouldn't install.
Title pretty much says it all. I was working fine this morning on f15. Did an update and am now getting the above message. Have no internet access from affected machine.

View 14 Replies View RelatedAfter a recent update of fedora 15 (2 days ago) I lost my networkmanager icon in top panel completely. Then I check network manager version & found it's version 0.8.0.9997-5.git20110702. After this update I can't connect to internet by any means either via wired or wireless connection. When I try to open Network option from system settings it giving me an error: System network services are not compatible with this version.
I also try to open network-connection-editor by pressing Alt+F2 & typing:
nm-connection-editor
But it not works as well, I can't see any existing network connection there, moreover I can't even manually add any type of network connection there including mobile broadband! Then I do some googling from my windows machine & found this thread- [URL]. According to this thread I try to do downgrading of following 3 packages-
Code:
networkmanager
networkmanager-glib
networkmanager-gnome
But I can't downgrade via yumex as there's no internt connection in fedora. so i do a trick of myself. yumex suggests me to downgrade them to previous version 0.8.0.999-2.git20110509
so i manually download those 3 packages from my windows machine & copy them to /var/cache/yum/... folder. After that I do downgrading via yumex. But even after downgrading problem isn't solved. Same things happening still. No networkmanager icon in top panel & no internet
at present, there's no internet connection in my fedora 15 machine & I'm writing this post from my windows machine.
Moreover when I give this command in terminal:
Code:
sudo service network start
it giving me FAILED status.
