Fedora :: Pc Won't Open / Get It To Work?
Jun 28, 2011
I start up the computer, I get the Grub menu, I see the user menu, I select the user and enter password, and then it just keeps loading forever and nothing else happens...
No gnome3 or any proper interface for that matter, just the wallpaper.
What's bothering me is that it happened for no apparent reason at all, one day it's good, the next it went bonkers.
I use Fedora 15 and gnome 3, my computer is HP Pavilion dv6736nr, I have a dual boot with Win7.

I know this has got to be a beginners question but I can not find the answer. I have searched the forum, the wiki, and the reference. I have used google and found the answer as it applies to red hat but doesn't work in debian. Found a couple of more but they didn't work either. I need to open a port for ssh to work. I have it working on 3 computers but the 4th has the port closed and I can't open it. I have openssh client and server installed and running. I am using Wheezy/testing on an acer laptop.

I installed openSUSE 11.3 on my notebook (lenovo 510i, Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000).When I connect to my home wlan with WPA2 there is no problem, but when I try to connect to an open WLAN without encryption, the essid is not set (seen with iwconfig wlan0). If I set it after rcnetwork start wlan0 with iwconfig wlan0 essid the_open_sid, it associates and dhcp is working fine.
Here are the messages that are produced during rcnetwork start wlan0:
Code:
Jul 16 13:51:48 job2 ifplugd(eth0)[4740]: ifplugd 0.28 initializing.
Jul 16 13:51:48 job2 kernel: [ 5819.161280] e1000e 0000:00:19.0: irq 30 for MSI/MSI-X

code....
Is there a log with the wireless card setup commands that are used?

I've been using 10.04 for some time, but now Update Manager won't open, nor will Ubuntu Software. With all the apparent problems, I don't plan to upgrade to 10.10, but I do like to keep my OS updated and current.

Strange. After a recent update, I can no longer right click on a folder and open it as Administrator. I get this error message:
Unable to determine the program to run.
The item you selected cannot be open with administrator powers because the correct application cannot be determined.
I don't quite get this but why is it looking for a program to run? I only want to open a folder, not run a program. Anyway, I have done an uninstall and re-install of nautilus-gksu but that did not solve the problem. I have googled but no answers I could use.
Again, all I want to do is open a folder as Administrator so I can perform other operations that require root permission on files in that folder.
using: 10.04 LTS fully updated

Tonight I replaced Ubuntu 10.04 with Kubuntu 10.10. While running Ubuntu 10.04 wireless worked fine and I had no problems. However, now with Kubuntu 10.10 I seem to be having a bit of a problem with the wireless. It will only connect to a wireless network that is 'open' (no security). It sees the network i want to connect to, but when i go to put in the correct security values it does nothing. Never seems to try to connect again. I've edited both the local Kubuntu wireless settings, as well as change settings on my router (went from WPA to WEP just to see if I could get it to work. It didnt).
So im wondering if there is any other software I could use to try to manage the local wireless hardware to see if different software will connect? Here is my iwlist, not that it helps but at least it proves my hardware sees the wireless i want to connect to.

I've been having trouble 'make installing' SoXt-1.2.2 on the server at work. I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit, I'm not sure what else to mention, besides the print out of the terminal, it's quite a lot. Also I tired to use Libtools, but then I stopped when I realised I had no idea what I was doing.
I can't upload it as "You are only allowed to post URLs to other sites after you have made 15 posts or more." I'm pretty certain there are no urls in it, so I've attached it.

I just love Linux! I am using Fedora 14 and just starting out. I am curious as to why is that when I click the Firefox icon to launch the internet from the menu bar a Linux terminal window has to be open. If I close that particular terminal, (which by the way says "Terminal" and does not show my chosen host name) Firefox closes. If I go to Applications, then Internet, then Firefox to launch the browser, the terminal doesn't open.

When I open a Word 2007 document using Open Office 3.1, the document is blank. I know OO 3.1 supports Word 2007 format. Any ideas why my document is blank in OO but when I open it in Word 2007 the text is there.

When I try to open Ubuntu software center, it appears on the process bar for about 10 seconds before it disappears. I can't get it to start.
I have tried alt+f2 and typing 'software-center', didn't help. I tried reinstalling ubuntu software center in Synoptic package manager, but I got this error message: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/software-center_3.0.7_all.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1"
This started to happen after I reinstalled Ubuntu 10.10. After I did that, I got the 'modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.8.custem/modules.deb, no such
file or directory.' error. Could these two problems be related in any way?

A friend of mine is looking for a cheap PCI graphics card to do TV-out from his PCI only PC for MythTV duties. We've found cheap old PCI Radeon 9200's with TV Out on eBay. These appear to only be supported by the open source drivers now, but will the TV out work with the open source drivers?

I am using nx client and I would like to ask your help. Is it possible when I connect from home to my work's computer (using nx client) to see the exactly same desktop-taskbar and open programs as I left them in my work computer.
Imagine that you are at work using your computer. You lock the keyboard and you go home(you didn't turn it off). You go home and you login to work's computer. What I want to see is the same if I was just unlocking works's computer. IS that possible and how?

What used to work flawlessly in F14 now does not work in F15. I have done a fresh installation of F15 and all seemed to go well other than a few minor tweaks. In F14 I had an /etc/fstab file that worked well but in F15 does not work. I have 3 external USB drives, mybook, black & StoreIt. With F14 my fstab worked very well and booted regardless of weather or not any particular drive was connected at any given time. Typically I have the mybook and black connected at home and the StoreIt connected at work, but regardless it would boot and work without any problems.

the sudoers configuration file is set to the default as I have ran a dpkg on it, have also uninstalled and reinstalled it, and went over the configuration file ensuring it looked like the defaults I had seen online.

I am running openSUSE 11.2 and I am trying to make the key combination Alt + ` open a terminal. No keyboard combination I try works, not even Ctrl + X or anything, and I have tried both "Run a terminal" and "Open a terminal". I have logged out and back in, and even restarted, and it still doesn't work.

I've noticed that the "open containing folder" right-click menu item doesn't work in Firefox 3.6. It does nothing. That action used to open Nautilus, showing the folder where the file had been downloaded. What gives? I set up Firefox long ago to call Nautilus when asked to open a folder. Shouldn't Firefox be asking me what app to use, if it weren't set up properly?

I installed nautilus-open-terminal, and now the option "Open in Terminal" does show up in the context menu for me in Nautilus, and clicking it does open a terminal. But it just opens to the home directory, every time, same as if I'd opened a terminal in the ordinary way. I've tried to look for solutions to this, but I can't find anyone that even has the same problem. Other people complaining about it all seem to be saying that a terminal doesn't even open for them, which is not the case for me.
