I'm having trouble installing it, particularly with installing cl-ppcre and clx under sbcl. The instructions for installing them using either asdf or quicklisp don't seem to work on Fedora. (cl-ppcre complains about missing cl-ppcre-unicode for example)
View 1 RepliesI have an Acer Aspire One with an SSD for storage. I recently installed Ubuntu on it and chose ext4 for my filesystem. Then I read that journaling on an SSD isn't the best idea, so I will try to disable journaling and I have found these intstructions [URL]..
# Create ext4 fs on /dev/sda10 disk mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda10 # Enable writeback mode. This mode will typically provide the best ext4 performance. tune2fs -o journal_data_writeback /dev/sda10
# Delete has_journal option
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sda10
# Required fsck
e2fsck -f /dev/sda10
[Code]...
I will use them on my boot partition. Are there any particularly bad parts here, or are there any missing steps? Will my boot partition be fit for being on an SSD after this? Or should I consider switching to ext2, or even reinstall it all and choose ext2 at partitioning time (I'd rather not though, since I've configured quite some stuff already)?
I have been following (200 instructions on how to do a clean install without losing settings.I used the command<sudo dpkg --get-selections > /home/user/package.selections>to create a list of installed applications.My problem is that the instructions to reinstall those packages does not work. The code given is<sudo dpkg --set-selections /home/package. selections && apt-get dselect-upgrade>.However when I try and run this code I am told that "--set-selections takes no arguments".So I need some revised code to reset the list of applications for re-installation

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying Fedora for the first time. I tried installing NVidia's driver with their shellscript but it didn't work for lots of reasons. Has anyone done this before?:[URL].. Does it work? I never used a distro with a package manager before. Aren't there several different drivers for different NVidia cards? How do the instructions in that link make you get the correct driver? And then does it create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
EDIT: or is the Neaveau driver good enough already? I can't figure out if it's basically a finished product or not.
I have an old PC running 900Mhz Tbird CPU and 768Mb RAM. I also upgraded the HDD to a 60Gb. I've tried to install Gentoo, CentOS, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint and all and everyone of them stop at the line "checking hlt instructions" during the installtion. I've looked over the web and there are quite a few cases with the same problem, nonetheless the solution is not clear to me, still. I've managed to install CentOS, though, with the help of web forums, bypassing the error by typing from the Kernel "linux no-hlt" and pressing enter. Now when I rebooted the machine it keeps doing even though the install completed succesfully. I'm interested in loading CentOS to build a server since I used to run Ubuntu 8.04 on that box without any problems.

Im following the instructions to download and install ubuntu, using a USB stick from this site I cant post URLS yet (not 15 posts) but it was the ubuntu download site.

I'm new to linux, have been somewhat of a computer geek my whole life and thought it about time that I delved into the world of linux. So I installed ubuntu 10.04 on my computer. I love it. However, I can't get my wireless to work. In my dorms there are no ethernet hookups, so I have to use the wireless. I typed "sudo lshw -class network" into the root terminal. The important things that I figured out was the bus info: pci@0000:4:06.0 and the pysical id: 6 (not sure if the physical id is important but it sounds like it is). I then did a lspci and found that at bus 04:06.0 it is a RaLink Device 3060. I downloaded the .tar file for the driver. I could not find instructions for it online so I followed the ones for the rt2860 driver : [URL].... I could not get it to work, It built ok and installed ok, but when I do the modprobe I get an error saying the device or resource is busy. Either that or that it cannot be found. One thing that I found weird was that I couldn't get it to build a 3060 driver, it would only build a 3562 one.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a dual boot system with Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows Vista. Today I upgraded Vista to Windows 7, and GRUB is no longer working. The usual problem, I know. Searched forums & Web and found many instructions for restoring GRUB manually or by using the Ubuntu Live CD.I tried the Live CD first. All the instructions say to boot to the CD, open a terminal, and enter: sudo grubI get an error message: command not found.Then I tried the manual method, which (after mounting the relevant partition) includes the instructions:
Reinstall the boot manager by typing "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdX", replacing "X" with the Ubuntu drive's letter, and then hitting "Enter." For example, "/dev/sda" is the Ubuntu drive for most users.[This step appeared to work fine.]Then: Restart the computer into your Ubuntu system.Alas, the computer restarts to sh:grub and I don't know how to get from there to either Linux or Windows, or what to do to fix this problem. At this point I have no working system on that computer
Just built a new mini-ITX system. Installed 10.04 x64 and then spiffed it up. Now to play DVDs, I followed instructions here: [URL]. Including the troubleshooting item about chmod / chgrp. I wasn't clear whether this would be saved across reboots. And rebooted.
Code:
xxx@atomic-breeze:~$ sudo chmod 660 /dev/sr0
xxx@atomic-breeze:~$ sudo chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0

Unprotected DVDs play just fine. Protected ones give this error:

I have a macbook pro with an Nvidia 9600m gt card. default colors look nothing like they do on my mac. I would like to calibrate the colors. How would one do this in Ubuntu? I have looked around and seen Xgamma, Argyll, and display calibrator. These programs do not work, mainly the display calibrator gui. I see Nvidia xserver has a color correction function, and that looks good. However, how do you use it? I can tweak colors but they end up looking incorrect still.
I am looking for a detailed step by step tutorial about how to calibrate a monitor, which are aimed at newbies who don't have much prior knowledge. On the mac it was incredibly simple; anything like this on Ubuntu?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGetting sick of always having toner saver active when printing in Linux, I've used windows today to "print to file" and examine how the windows driver for my printer manages to override the toner saver settings.
It turns out that the windows driver prepends some PJL commands to the PostScript file that is sent to the printer. Nothing really fancy, so I would like to:Define two logical printers: one that uses the "toner save" feature and one that prints with the highes quality. For the "high quality" printer, prepend the same PJL commands that the windows driver adds.
Any hints on how I can do that (especially adding the PJL commands to the data that is sent to the printer)? My search skills seem to let me down on this one :-(

View 4 Replies View RelatedI tried a program called BarPanel, which replaces the Gnome Panels. The installation instructions told me to download the program installer (the program installs automatically for Debian/Ubuntu users). Then I had to go to System > Preferences > Sessions to remove the gnome-panel entry and add the BarPanel one. So far so good. On re-starting, the new panels were installed to my desk top in bright green! The problem was that a lot of the icons don't work. The action menu does nothing and there is no entry for Sessions in the System menu, so I can't go back and undo. I have re-installed gnome-panel under Synaptic, without any success. I un-installed BarPanel, so I now don't have any panels at all now! One good thing is that I have Cairo-dock on my desktop, so I have access to several programs, including the terminal.
Can someone out there give me the command line instructions to get the gnome panels back.
