I'm running Fedora 12 constantine, and firefox was working just days ago, but today i tried and it wouldn't launch. I go to terminal and type "firefox -safe-mode" (because i was using ubuntu this command worked when this exact problem occurred) but here i get "Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.1.4 and 1.9.1.4"
also i would like to ask, how do i update my fedora from terminal, something similar to "sudo apt-get update" on ubuntu..but yum instead,.
I just installed fedora on an old laptop. After restarting, the computer just shows me a black screen, it doesn't even show the BIOS screen. If I put a CD with the fedora installation program, it sounds like its reading it, but the screen keeps being black.
Just as background, i thought this laptop had died 4 months ago when I tried to start it and then nothing happened (black screen). Today, I decided to check if it was working before throwing it to the garbage, with the fedora 13 live cd in it, and voila, in entered and I was able to install fedora. But then upon installation of fedora it just shows again the same black screen...can this be a hardware problem?
Some of my programs don't start or don't work! For example, when I click on MultiGet, don't starts or when I want open a file with blebder, it does crash and when I want to save a file, it does crash! I use f14 and my laptop is inspiron-dell 1564 with intel VGA and the lastest updates are installed on my laptop.
I'm running a P4 system with Dual ATI Radeon 2900HD Graphics cards. When I try to install F11, the graphical interface fails to start and I end up in a text install. I've seen plenty of information on how to fix the problem post install, however I'm not nearly advanced enough to then continue the installation (the text install does not install much, particularly doesn't install the graphical interface). Is there a way to work around this (IE a more complete text install, or somehow getting it to install in graphical user interface?)
recently i tried to install for the first time and everything booted up fine but when i got to the post install configuration my mouse and keyboard don't work! after that one time whenever i try to load linux it just sits at the boot screen where the colored bar goes left to right and has fedora text in the bottom right corner. i don't know if this matters or not but i'm dual booting with windows XP also i tried using a live cd of fedora 11 it always boots up to the login however just like above i can't use my mouse or keyboard for that one either.
I installed fedora12 redhat linux on my desktop with install DVD. When the install was complete I clicked ok to reboot. When it rebooted it came up with a black screen asking for a localhost login and password. The only thing the install asked for during the set up was a root password. I typed in root for the localhost login and root password and takes me to the command line as root. Will not start the GUI at start up.
I'm trying to find how to schedule a process to start at a specific time (not on start up). How would I schedule a process/application to start at a specific time (if it matters, it will be a background process). For instance, have process abc start every weekday at 5am. I've done this for windows many times though have only been using linux regularly for a few months and haven't figured out the best way of doing this.
So far the best solution I have is to create a program that will start on boot and have it check the time and sleep until the required time and then start the required process(es) at the required time(s). But this seems more of a hack since I'd expect there to be a proper way of doing this.

Whenever I start up my laptop running Fedora 14, I notice that it says that it is failing to connect to my default wireless network since the wireless card is not activated. Since it appears that the wireless card is not activated until the NetworkManager service is started, is there anyway for me to set NetworkManager to start before this check is made? Boot message log is attached. [URL]

I just installed TuxGuitar - very cool - and to get the sound to work I had to install Timidity++ as well. Before I start TuxGuitar I have to execute:timidity -iA -Osin a terminal window first, which is kind of a pain to do every time I run TuxGuitar.How do I get this line to execute on startup such that timidity is running when I start up? I tried adding that line to rc.local
I use Opensuse 11 with fvwm. How can I get conky start automatically when I start fvwm?
I setup the conky under fvwm session for my Opensuse 11 but it won't start automatically. I am wondering how to write some kind of scripts to force it to start automatically and with a delay about 10 seconds after fvwm starts.
I have Windows 7 and Fedora 14 both on my laptop in dual boot configuration. When my computer starts up it shows a screen that says press any button to select another operating system to start, then I can make Windows 7 start. But after 2 seconds, if I DON'T press any button then Fedora starts automatically. How can I change this so Windows starts automatically when I don't press any button?
I have recently install Blender on my system (squeeze, 2.6.32-5-amd64, ATI Radeon HD 3100) and when I try and start it I get a segmentation fault. I am using the proprietary driver. When i run glxinfo or glxgears I get a segmentation fault as well which makes me think I have an issue with my hardware acceleration.
I am really suck when it comes to trying to diagnose the problem any further and would appreciate any help you guys have. My system is up to date and Blender has worked before on an almost identical setup (i reinstall debian a while back, may have been using a slightly older kernel then).
I installed the 10.04 64 bit beta after 9.10 went down on me AGAIN, and when I booted up and got to the login screen I got the ubuntu chimes then the screen went black, the three lights on my keyboard, numlock etc, started flashing every second, and the chimes continued every second. Machine was completely unresponsive, cntrl+alt+del or cntrl+alt+backspace did nothing. Any ideas or how do I report this officially like?
I was running Ubuntu 9.10 with 3 - 1.5TB drives in a software Raid 5 array. The OS is installed to a separate drive. I decided to format the OS drive and install Ubuntu 10.10, but having done that I can no longer get my Raid array to start. When I am in the Disk Utility and hit the "Start RAID Array" button I get a message saying that there are not enough components to start the Raid array, even though the 3 raid drives show up within the Disk Utility.
I have the Ubuntu Netbook CD. I tried installing Ubuntu by launching Wubi.exe. But nothing seems to be happening. I opened task manager and checked whether the process wubi.exe is starting. It is indeed starting up, but goes off in a few seconds. I downloaded the wubi.exe again and tried, but without any success. Any clues?

I've been running CentOS on my laptop for a few weeks now. I don't know what happened today, but when I boot up, the NetworkManager wont show up on the panel, and I don't have access to wireless networks or Internet. I tried booting my Windows partition and the wireless works fine. I can't seem to remember any latest change I've made aside from the wallpaper =) Any ideas where I should start debugging? I could see the module "iwl3945" still loaded. Here's a manual type of my lsmod | grep iwl3945

I've just upgraded to Lucid Lynx on my Asus Eee Netbook, with Notebook Remix installed. I wqs glad to see that Canonical integrated the gwibber client into the desktop environment, as this gives me better opportunities to use my Twitter account properly. Unfortunately, i can't run "Set up broadcast account" when clicking the "letter-applet" icon. When running gwibber from terminal, I get this code...
