I'm using fedora 15 (since its beta), i have had decent experience with software installs and updates and did like gnome 3 Now, coming to the point I have installed linuxdcpp from the standard fedora15 repo "it just doesn't work!!" I can't download filelists or search while others can , i have tried to find similar problem and used their solutions but all was in vain, for instance a guy had similar problem and had recived advice to change incoming connections to firewall manual from active and give ip adress in external/wan (or something ) but it just didn't work even if no one is able to solve this problem , i would appreciate, if someone tells me what exactly is going wrong (or some definitive idea)...
not brag or compare linuxdcpp "just works" in all ubuntu versions from 10.04 through 11.04.honestly this is really annoying i can't easily share files with friends .... ( i had to use dropbox for this!just because i chose a true free gnu/linux ..
I have a Samsung N130 with a Realtek 8192 wifi card (possibly 8192e, I'm not sure) and I am trying to run Fedora 12 on it. I used to run Ubuntu until trying their latest beta and realizing it's not very good, so I looked for something else. Ubuntu was at least easy to get the wifi working with just a few quick commands that were written out, word for word, in order, on the Ubuntu forums. I tried openSUSE on here and it didn't have wifi working out of the box either but people on their forums refused to give me actual instructions and just kept bumping me from thread to thread with people giving vague advice or else just telling me I was looking in the wrong place. I'm hoping that someone can give me clear and detailed instructions on how to get this wifi card working. Keep in mind that I am coming from Ubuntu and so I'm not super comfortable in CLI, if I need to do some CL stuff I will need clear and detailed instructions on how to do that.
I'm using Fedora 9, I've just installed Bluefish, all hunky dory till I press "View on Browser" Button nothing happens. I've tried few cods like these; /usr/bin/firefox -new-window "%s" & %s. But No success.
Fedora (2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64) I installed that update, during the installation process it said that it had to remove three packages, one of them was kmod nvidia for the old kernel (Fedora (2.6.33.8-149.fc13.x86_64))After the update finished installing the new kernel, I restarted the system and Nvidia did not load. (I assume because Update manager removed the old nvidia? But I also assumed that a new version would be installed automatically?)I received the following Boot messages:
Code:
Entering non-interactive startup Starting monitoring for VG vg_user1: 3 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg_user1" monitored
[code]....
I'm confused, if Update Manager removed kmod nvidia, then why does yum say it is installed? And why doesn't the new kernel update work with that version? Or should I install a driver version for that particular kernel? I've read while searching that I need to install a kmod-nvidia for that particual kernel version and that I should login to my previous kernel until that happens, is that the problem I'm having?
Why don't rpmfusion and fedoraproject release the kmod-nvidia and kernel updates at the same time to avoid problems such as this? Does anyone know how long does it usually take for rpmfusion to release the new kmod-nvidia driver for the latest kernel?
I just found it out now, after installed the skype and tried setup my web/audio on it, the webcam works fine but the mic doesn't work, so i went to the audio menu on fedora 14 and found it out the mic is dead.Someone had the same issue? Can someone let me know what can i do to fix that?
I have winbind Active Directory authentication set up on my laptop. AD authentication works like a charm, passwords cache, etc. I can use sudo with no problem. However, I cannot use the root account -no matter what I set the root password to, the system will not take it. I also have a couple of normal system users (not winbind), and no matter what I set their passwords to, I cannot login.
I just installed KDE through gruoinstall command on my F12. I can't use the vertical scroll bar on the touchpad of my laptop. Also I wanted to change the shortcut to window menu. It's Alt+F3 whereas I am comfortable to Alt+Space like in GNOME.
i just installed fedora 12 on my computer. installation went perfect, even tweaked it a little bit and everything works; except for flash player. i installed it by following some guide and i can watch videos vids and all, but sometimes the videos video player doesn't respond to my mouse. i can click on play/pause but it gives no response whatsoever; i can click on the sound but it gives no response whatsoever. sometimes it all works perfectly, but when i click on the next vid it suddenly doesn't respond anymore.
For some reason Ctrl+Alt+Fn doesn't work on my Fedora 13 workstation using the nvidia driver. I specified the following in my xorg.conf but it doesn'tption "DontVTSwitch" "off"It is probably not even an Xorg problem because VT switching doesn't work in runlevel 3 either.
i was workin on my rmi programs today in my f12,and then i executed all the files related to the program,it did get executed! but when i type the command start rmi registry that is to start the registry system,it fails to does so:
heres the o/p: start: Unknown job: rmiregistry
the programs luks perfect and even got executed,sorry if the question is silly to be asked over her! i am completely new to fedora!
Nvidia either works or it doesn't work under Fedora 10 64 bit OS. I have re-installed Fedora 10 64 bit and Fedora 11 64 bit 10 times each and it's getting real old. I keep erasing my system because Nvidia doesn't want to work. Leighs post does no good on this issue and neither does anyone else's or else it would work.
I have fedora 10 and I rotated my display upside down using Display settings (I don't know if it is the same thing as system-config-display, I had an icon called Display settings on my panel). It didn't work, my screen became black and now I can't change it back. Can I somehow change it back using terminal only? There's no rotation set in my xorg.conf file, I tried to set different rotation in xorg.conf, but it had no effect.
I have a 5 button mouse and the 4th and 5th buttons are useful for skipping back or forwards while surfing with Firefox. It would be nice if I could skip back in Nautilus too, but it doesn't work. (Alt+LeftArrow & Alt+RightArrow as keybord equivalent) Is there a possibility to use this buttons in Nautilus too?
My desktop is a Compaq CQ5110F. It's a dual boot system and Fedora 11 resides on sda3 of hard disk (WD 3200AAJS-6).Both suspend and hibernate don't work, but the symptoms are different. For hibernate, after resume, there are some messages (??) about register errors quickly flashed on the screen, then the logon window shows but the system hangs. For suspend, I cannot wake up the system by hitting some keys on the keyboard. After I press the power button, LCD doesn't get any signal. I remember hibernate worked when I was using Fedora10, but wireless card did not automatically reconnect at that time. Also hibernate works fine for vista.
I'm trying to plug my Cinemizer video goggles [URL] to my notebook. The resolution is 640x480 (yeah, I know) and I go from VGA to RCA to 3.5, which is needed by the device. From a cable oriented viewpoint this should work, but Fedora doesn't recognise the googles as a second monitor. how to enable vga output with a 640x480 resolution? This is extremely important for me since I need it for a personal project as well as for my work.
I booted F12 live cd with virtualbox and installed it on a USB stick(4GB). The installation was a success but, when I try to boot it, it doesn't work. Do I have to install the grup manually?
Just as the title says, the fullscreen feature in Flash video players such as ..... does not work in Fedora 13 on my computer. Videos play fine in the window, though. When I press the fullscreen button, the area where the video was playing turns gray and the sound stops playing. I've tried fiddling with some settings in Compiz but it didn't seem to help. I had Flash Player 10 installed initially, when it started having this problem, and then I installed 10.1 and it continued doing this.
I just installed Fedora Core 13 on my notebook and on installation setup entered password for root as asked. Now I'd like to login as root in console with password I gave to the root, but it doesn't work. Neither am I as regular user in sudoers file.
I have tried fedora 14th and also latest ubuntu but my lenovo notebook keyboard did not detected by OS. i think it is due to some kernel missing. keyboard work if acpi=off. My laptop is "Lenovo s10-3c". 1GB RAM, 160 GB Disk.
i recently bought a Coby netbook, and the track pad doesn't work at all if i'm using linux, (i currently have fedora 15, and gnome 3.0.1) it works fine with windows. and also, the keyboard sometimes glitches and my typing would look like.does anyone have any idea on how to fix these problems? i would like to just find a .rpm or something with the drivers or whatever (I have always hated using tar balls)
I have installed fedora ver 10 on my PC. The issue is that my mouse does not work once i login, it hardly works for 5-10 mins and then does not respond, however system does not get hung. I am using USB optical mouse. Please help me in fixing the issue.
I installed F10 today. From live-usb wlan worked fine, but after installing it doesn't find any networks. I tried to google this problem, but everybody says wifi works out of the box. Not for me.
Solved: I disappled wireless networking and appled it again. It found all networks.
I installed F11 from the DVD iso. The nouveau driver seemed to work and I could get both monitors working with xrandr.
Then I tried to install the nvidia drivers. I installed akmod-nvidia.
They didn't work. I got this in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
Quote:
(II) LoadModule: "nvidia" (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so (II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
On my PC (fresh FC11 i386 instllataion from CDs), dhclient doesn't work. When it tries to get an IP address with dhclient, it gets No DHCPOFFERS reveived and fails. The ethernet of my PC works fine - I can manually set IP address, netmask, gateway etc. to connect to my persoal Linksys router, but if I change to DHCP, it fails as above. So it's not the problem of the ethernet driver of FC11. I suspect that dhclient of FC11 is buggy. (For the record, DHCP works fine on FC10 and Windows XP with my Linksys router.)
