Typing yum install akmod-wl set everyhting up for me automatically in Fedora 11, but now I get no sign I own a wireless card. I am running Fedora 12 64bit on a Macbook 4,1
View 6 RepliesI have:
AMD Phenom 9650 Quad-Core Processor
nVidia GeForce 9500 GT graphics card
dual monitors
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

I have not had this problem on this machine since the days of fedora 1. The problem is that there is not kmod-nvidia driver for the current kernel in the rpmfusion repo, nor akmod can build one at boot up. Looking at the log files, akmods spits this error message:

Got F15 installed on on old P4 box. Its got a Geforce4 MX4000 card. Rpmfusion has info on the driver (akmod-nvidia-96xx) but I can't find it on the repos.

I don't know if my drivers are corrupted, set up improperly, or if the driver is just broken.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI Have just formatted to Fedora 14 64bit and installed kmod-nvidia akmod-nvidia and am experiencing visual lag. The lag did not occur before I installed the drivers, neither did it occur on Fedora 13 with drivers installed.
I have a priitty high spec pc with the nvidia 260 gtx.
just remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-260.19.12-3.fc14.i686
so now:
i did something wrong and i was left with one way and that was reinstalling fedora core 12 so i don't want to do the wrong way one more time,what is the difference between kmod-nvidia and akmod-nvidia?i did yum -y install akmod-nvidia and then type xconfig-nvidia on the terminal,after logging off i confront with a blank screen,so i reinstall fc12 x86-64.from what i've understand this is what i should do?
1:yum update
2:setsetbool -P allow-execstack on ==> in order to lower your system protection so SElinux doesn't prevent the driver from loading
3:if it's standard kernel type use komd-nividia and for PAE kernel type use kmod-nvidia-PAE
4: Keep nouveau from loading so
su -c 'mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img'
and
su -c 'dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)'
5:To use the default initrd, but disable the nouveau driver, edit /etc/grub.conf and add the following to the end of the line(s) starting with 'kernel':
rdblacklist=nouveau
if these are right!will yum update command update everything?as i'm still on dial up.i couldn't find kmod-nvidia with command yum install kmod-nvidia [although i had rpmfusion free&nonefree but i did not execute the yum update command before that,is this the reason that yum could not find the komd-nvidia?
sda win xp
sdb Fedora 14
There is a problem (I can see) with F14 install.
In the past the grub was installed during install (since Fedora 6).
Now choosing an install disk "sdb" (install target
drive) requests a drive to be chosen for
bootloader, but if the alternate drive sda is
chosen (this case the XP drive), it is formatted.
I have gone though install many times to see what I missed.
This once worked beautifully. What did I miss?
I now have XP and Fedora 14 installed but I cannot reach Fedora 14.
I had to do a fixmbr to get to XP
Since I cannot reach F14, I cannot get to grub2 and have to use .97
i a newbie at linux and i installed Fedora 14 with minimum services and software in order to install Dynamips/Dynagen (Cisco router emulator).when i try to install Cisco rpm -ivh dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386.rpm file i get the following:
error: Failed dependencies:

I have 6GB of RAM and I'm planning to install Fedora 14 32-bit to achieve a higher degree of compatibility. Does fedora automatically download and install a PAE enabled kernel when it detects more than 4GB of RAM (Just like Ubuntu)?
View 14 Replies View RelatedUnfortunately far for all unicode characters can be displayed in Fedora by default, (much less than in M$ Wnd). There is a tool that aim to find and install missing fonts when an non-displayable character appears, but it starts mainly when I accidentally open non-text file in terminal and never when a web-page I open in Mozilla Firefox (or Konqueror) contains such kind of characters. So, I see a rectangle with hexadecimal number of character in it (or simply empty rectangle in case of Konqueror) and don't know if there is a easy way to see it by installing missing font automatically (or manually at last) for range of this character or a way to install complete font collection to display all unicode characters from all ranges.

They all work fine except that grub wont automatically select one. This wouldn't be too much of a problem but this is a headless server and I can't boot into ubuntu without a keyboard. I tried looking through the grub 2 documentation but nothing seemed to work when I edited the conf file.

When I boot up openSUSE 11.2, sometimes it logs me in automatically (which is the setting I have) and sometimes it doesn't. How do I figure out why this is occurring?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have a MS Windows domain in our school. Some time ago, when I was toying with an earlier version of Opensuse, I joined a box to our domain. I am trying 11.2 now, and my box is box is being named automatically, to what I named the previous box (which is long gone). I guess this is an issue with my Windows domain controller, but I'm not sure what to do about it. The domain controller is running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWell, its been 2 days since I have had Suse 11.2 on this laptop. (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo M7400 1.6 GHz Centrino, 60GB HDD)Everything seems to work in order, but at certain times, the computer will just log out on its own, without any reason. It gives no error when it does this, so there is no way for me to determine what the cause is. As far as the rest of the OS goes, everything seems perfectly fine, except for the automatic log out the computer does. It just annoys me when the computer logs out by itself sometimes because then I am lost on where I was before, since nothing gets saved when it does this. It makes things really challenging when you are typing something as I am now and then the computer just logs itself out on its own, leaving me with nothing because it does not save anything. And if so, what are the repair steps to this issue??

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm used from Gentoo that the documentation (info-/man-pages) is installed by default (or at least it's possible to enable it by default for packages that don't do that). However I notice on my Ubuntu installation regularly that a lot of documentation is missing, for example info gcc gives me just the man-page of GCC and not the GCC manual, and for bison I don't get any info documentation.I'm aware that for these packages there are always *-doc packages, but most of the time I'm realizing that the documentation is missing when I'm offline, so there's no way to just install it then.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm moving a homebrew arcade cabinet I have in my sitting room over from Gentoo to Ubuntu. Gentoo's served me well for a couple of years, but it refuses to recognise a touchscreen I recently installed on the cab, so I thought I'd give Ubuntu a try.
There is very little space on the SATA DOM inside the board in the cab, so I try and put as little OS on there as possible. To that end, I installed the minimal iso, and then apt-got X. I manually configured xorg.conf to make both monitors attached to the cab work, and I can enter X fine from the command line.
But what I need to do is have X start on powerup and automatically run my game. In Gentoo this is as simple as putting "xinit [GAME]" into /etc/init.d/local.start (the equivalent of rc.local). No login required, the prompt didn't even come up until I'd exited the game.
However, if I try and do this in Ubuntu, X can't find any devices, even though rc.local is at position 99. I've tried putting the lines in rc.local as well as manually update-rc.d-ing my own files, but no luck. X refuses to start until after the login.
So what seem to need is some way of automatically logging in as root on the command line, starting X, then running my game.
I have the EnGenius EUB-9801 USB wireless adapter, but Ubuntu 10.10 x64 did not automatically install drivers for it.This is why I downloaded and installed Ubuntu because I read somewhere that the latest kernel would have built-in support for the RT3572.I am new to Linux and don't know how to build drivers myself. How can I get this working?

My dad don't like that windows is no longer on the laptop, but I can't install linux on it cause they want windows back... in the meantime we're using Debian 8.1 with KDE but is live and doesn't have flash player which my dad uses to listen dossiers from Walter Martinez and hates that he can't do that now without me doing the installing every single time and sometimes I'm not there so he can't watch his favorite shows.
