Fedora Installation :: System Requirements - What The Minimum Graphics Card Spec Is To Enable GUI
Apr 18, 2011Trying to make sense of this Linux stuff, by trying to install Fedora 14. First impressions are it?s a parallel universe populated by those who hark back to the era of Windows 3.1 / DOS, and earlier, where command line instructions and messing around with .ini files was all the rage. Which might all be a great little hobby to go back to, being more 'at one, and intimate' with my machine and learning a new skill to take some pride in, but all it means so far is my patience is being really tested by needing to learn it all from scratch!
The installation guides seem to suggest that if your graphics card is not good enough then the installation will default to the text based one. Which is what happened in my case. I can get to the login prompt after the installation, but that's the point where it gets really frustrating in having my machine think it?s a mid 1980s Commodore 64 or something!! Never mind PEEK and POKE, I just want to THUMP or KICK it.
I read somewhere I should start X Start to start the GUI. Nope, x start or xstart doesn't do anything. I then read that only works if I had installed X Windows. Can't find where or how I install X Windows though! I then read, as I say, things default to purely text if your graphics card is not good enough, but then I can't find anything about what the minimum spec is. Seems odd that a card that can cope with Windows can't work with a system as basic as linux/fedora with its frustrating command line-intensive way of working.
- what the minimum graphics card spec is to enable GUI?
- how to install this X Windows thing?
Fedora Installation :: F15 Requirements Without GUI?
Sep 8, 2011I have an old notebook on which I would like to install Fedora 15. Because the normal requirements of Fedora 15 are prety high I would like to install the command-line version (so without GNOME/KDE). I was wondering what the requirements of the command-line only version would be. Would it run on a 650MHZ PIII, 128mb RAM system? If so how do I install a command-line only version?
View 5 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: Fedora Disk Requirements - Need 9 GB Of Disc Space
Jan 19, 2011I was reading the fedora Disk requirements and it said you need 9 GB of disc space. Which partition should this 9 GB of space be on? I plan on having a / root partition, /home partition, a swap partition, and a /boot partition.
Quote: 1.2.3. Hard disk space requirements for all architectures The complete packages can occupy over 9 GB of disk space. Final size is entirely determined by the installing spin and the packages selected during installation. Additional disk space is required during installation to support the installation environment. This additional disk space corresponds to the size of /Fedora/base/stage2.img (on Installation Disc 1) plus the size of the files in /var/lib/rpm on the installed system.
In practical terms, additional space requirements may range from as little as 90 MiB for a minimal installation to as much as an additional 175 MiB for a larger installation. Additional space is also required for any user data, and at least 5% free space should be maintained for proper system operation. [URL]

View 9 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: Cups / Sane Server System Requirements
Jul 1, 2011I have a 2010 model laptop running slackware 13.1, and after setting up a udev rule for my epson rx700 printer/scanner, this laptop can print to the rx700 without problems, and I can scan straight into gimp with xsane... I can even share the printer and scanner over my local lan.however when I pack up my laptop and hit the road, the other folks in the house cannot print or scan over the network anymore, so I tried to get an older desktop we have laying about to be the cups / sane server instead of my laptop.I tried a Dell Dimension 8300, and a Dell Optiplex GX 260. Both have USB 2.0 however, on fresh slackware 13.37 installs, even after the udev rule, neither old computer is successful finding the scanner with sane-find-scanner, although it is listed in output of lsusb.
does anyone know if there is a workaround on these older machines, or have there been some hardware changes in the last 8 years that the machines haven't undergone, and I should give up trying to get one to be cups/sane server for rx700..

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables PURPLE_CFLAGS and PURPLE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. What am I supposed to do from here? I know libpurple is installed but the package "purple" doesn't even exist. The application I'm trying to install is called gFire by the way.

Fedora Installation :: Changing System Language After Fresh Fedora 12 Installation
Dec 31, 2009after a fresh installation of the English version (Live CD installer) of Fedora 12 (Gnome) I would like to set the default system language to German.But I would like to have the whole Gnome desktop in German. What is the recommended place in Fedora to set this? /etc/profile or are there any Fedora specific configuration files for this purpose?Btw, the GDM login screen doesn't provide the German language as a choice. Do I miss a package? I already browsed the DE packages for localization packages I did not install but it seems there is no one missing.

View 2 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: VNC Level 3 Installation - Remote Into The System Via My Windows Xp Systems
Sep 15, 2009What I'm trying to do at this point is setup VNC so I can remote into the system via my windows xp systems. I have VNC installed on those computer and I was able to get GNOME's remote desktop operating when I log in on level 5 and actually logged into my user account. However, when I'm not logged in on level 5 it will reject connections entirely. Ultimately I want to remote into the system using tightVNC and view the level 3 (command line only) thing, and allow me to telinit - 5 to switch to gui if I need it from VNC on the windows system. This way I don't need a monitor, keyboard and mouse plugged into the server. Right now that's what I'm having to do.
The problem is that it doesn't run in level 3 at all and level 5 (gui mode) doesn't work if i'm not logged into an account. So how can I get this to work at as a constant running server no matter what level and login point i'm at? Ultimately for this Linux admin class I have to setup a working server and I figured I'd get a base setup with VNC support that I could log into from school to work off of instead of having to use the local connection. Once I get VNC working on my network i'm pretty sure I can get it working beyond my local network.
Here's some commandline stuff that may diagnose my issues:
Code:
As you can see I'm having issues with the libstdc++ lib being detected. I have it installed, but apparently not everything is setup properly. I also have an RPM file for VNC and I've tried to install it with the gnome shell but it gives me an error: "Can't install /home/[user]/Download/vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux.rpm as no transaction" I'm not sure what that means. When I use the command line I get this:

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: HA / LB Clustering With Specific Software Requirements?
Jun 16, 2010I am looking to build up a HA/LB linux cluster with specific software requirements. For hardware, I have a number of dual xeon PE 2650s and would like to use them as efficiently as possible. These are 32bit systems, I anticipate scaling up to 64bit systems when I have a tested, working solution in place. For distro, I am familiar with CentOs, Gentoo and Ubuntu but unsure as to which would be the best foundation, although leaning towards CentOs. For software, I need to realise all the services provided by xampp (Apache, MySql, PHP, Perl, FTP), plus Red5 flash media server.
My current train of thought is;
6 physical servers; 2 Directors/Heartbeat, 2 Apache, 2 Red5
Gigabit private network for connecting the nodes.
CentOs 5.5 on all nodes.
DRDB across the 2 Apache nodes for Apache, MySql, PHP.
DRDB across the 2 Red5 nodes for Red5.
