Nov 27, 2010So, it's 2010 and I already though I got rid of coding my own drivers & compiling my own kernel in normal use... After installing latest Fedora 14 updates, my system won't boot anymore into fedora. Just continuous loop no matter if I select previous kernel system won't boot.
Anyone any ideas? I think it might be ATI driver but not 100% sure since I didn't see any D/A related or Kernel updates wasn't upcoming...
Anyways I will figure out this sooner or later but this kind of updates sucks a bit that your system goes suddenly totally unuseable or system won't reboot, sooo , time to move on with an another distro or is Fedora just RedHat's playaground?

Sep 20, 2010I have been trying to install the latest svn of Kaffeine on my Ubuntu Studio 10.04 system.
As per the instructions on the Linux/Kaffeine website [linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Kaffeine] I was able to successfully download the latest release. The command I used was as follows:
(1) svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/extragear/kde3/multimedia
I went through the next two steps without error
(2) cd multimedia
(3) rm -fr doc k3b kdetv klicker kmplayer kplayer
but ran into problems with the following command:
(4) make -f Makefile.cvs
The error messages I received were as follows:
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository. This will be deleted before making the distribution:
*** YOU'RE USING automake (GNU automake) 1.11.1.
*** KDE requires automake 1.6.1 or newer
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
This error makes little sense to me. It seems to be telling me that I need automake 1.6.1 or newer but apparently I already have 1.11.1 installed so what gives here? Talk about confusing!!!
Perhaps KDE automake and GNU automake are two different things? There is no option to install KDE automake in Ubuntu that I can see. The next command line (5) has me completely confused. I have no idea what I am supposed to be entering.
(5) ./configure --with-extra-includes=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/source/include [for example]
(6) make
(7) cd kaffeine

Jan 19, 2010I am trying to install the latest version of K9copy, but the only available version is in the .tar.gz file package. I placed the folder on my desktop and extracted the files. Now I have the .tar.gz file and the extracted files on the desktop. I need to install the files, but I don't know which command to use or what to do to get any commands to work.

Ubuntu :: Installing The Latest ATi Driver - Fglrx - Fails On 9.10
May 22, 2010I got tired of not being able to run any 3D apps on my integrated Intel and went out and came home with a ATi Radeon HD 4650. Skip the bit about how I could have gotten an nVidia (they didn't have any HTPC compatible low-profile nVidias on shelf).
Actually the card works very well, it runs all the 3D apps I've thrown at it so far (and quite a bit faster too).
My problem is with video playback: it is jerky. The framerate stalls and then speeds up and is out of sync. When not out of sync, there is tearing. Yes I have tried turning Compiz off, didn't do anything. Weird thing is the CPU utilization is really low, so everything should be working.
I figured I would update the video drivers to the latest available on ATi website (following the instructions here) but I've ran into trouble with the installer:
Code:
How do I proceed from here? If you've got a fix for the video with the drivers in the repositories that is cool also. I don't necessarily need the latest drivers.
Ubuntu :: Display Out Of Range After Installing Latest Version
Aug 4, 2010I have reloaded windows xp and now after installing ubuntu latest version, I get a boot menu that gives options. if I select the Ubuntu option, within a few seconds(2)the monitor shows "out of range"! However it is possible to get a command prompt from this menu,(Grub)by pressing "C" then Tab, which lists about 30 commands! But I cannot find what command will overide the ubuntu boot display setting! yet if it is possible in the disc boot F6 menu, then it follows that it must be possible in the hard disk boot menu? (ie nomodeset available on the disk F6, so using F6-nomodeset on the disk allows me to install or run from the disk, which then runs perfectly) Only I cannot make changes in the Ubuntu live that runs direct from the disk, to the installation on the hard drive. My Monitors Max is 75hz 1280x1024, LCD. And although not the latest model, Its still relatively current. Windows from the boot menu works fine.

Apr 21, 2011Yesterday, NVIDIA released a new set of drivers. For ubuntu 10.10, I downloaded 270.41.06. I havent been able to set it up on my fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10.
I have tried the following methods:
1. First changed the settings for updates to accept proposed updates. This is also suggested at [url]
Then installed the additional driver proposed by Ubuntu.
On restart, no login-screen. (Xserver fails to come up!)
2.Edited the repos by adding ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates. Unfortunately 270.41.06 is not the latest driver available there - 270.41.03 is the current version. On adding this repo the driver is searched successfully by synaptic. Installing nvidia-current brings up the driver version to 270.41.03 without any issues.
Nvidia X Server Setting prompts to run the nvidia-xconfig. On doing so a new conf file is created.
On restart, the Ubuntu splash screen is not displayed. Again Xserver fails to start!
3. Finally, I tried installing the .run file provided on Nvidia's website. First, I dropped to a root shell. Then cd'ed to the location where .run file was saved. On running the .run file, the installer asks you to change the run-level to 3. On doing so by telinit 3, the driver starts installing. As soon as I accepted the terms and proceeded to the next screen, a warning was displayed saying the pre-install script had failed!
But the driver installation does proceed to completion.
Even this method failed. The Xserver still does not start. No splash screen.
Currently I am running the system by restarting the Xserver in failsafex mode.
Ubuntu Installation :: Installing Latest Mediawiki From Source
May 28, 2011I downloaded latest mediawiki, moved the tarball to /usr/share/ exploded the tarball via
Code:
then
Code:
Then in your web browser point to local host 127.0.0.1/wiki
It will then bring you to the wiki configuration setup pages, and you may install databases for this package via phpmyadmin. im going to remove the alias to php my admin after i am done using it again to cut off outside world from seeing the php my admin login page for security reasons.
Im going to do this by adding a # infront of the alias in /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf and making it look like this.
Code:
My next to default ubuntu install says we should install caching, and pecl.
Pecl search in synaptic shows dh-make-php as first result. install that, then install [url] extension for mediawiki. i already have apache mysql and php installed, but if you dont have those installed they are requried.
download latest [url], tar -xf intl* to explode package.
## im clearly going to have to refine this.... php-apc shows up in synaptic, installing it does not stop the wiki installer page from throwing errors. going to try [url] to see if that resolves one
download the latest source of eaccelerator.
[url]
tar -xf eaccelerator source package to explode it,
phpize command tells me i need php-dev package, i pull the package from synaptic. i also grab libicu-dev while i am at it.
Code:
goes through, then
Code:
Code:
add to the top of the file the e accelerator info.
Code:
Code:
Code:
Then purge eaccelerator source directory and pure the tarball out of your system.
At this point we are going to make a database for the mediawiki by uncommenting the alias that keeps phpmyadmin shut off from attacks.
Code:
Then
Code:
Then point the browser @ 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin
Then setup your database for wikipedia, i named mine wiki
Make a user, i named mine wiki.
Password your database, and follow prompts in the media wiki package
Comment the alias of phpmyadmin to disable the phpmyadmin pannel/address
Restart apache and your good to go on linking the wiki.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Installing Latest NVidia Proprietary Drivers On 64 Bit Lucid 10.04
Jan 12, 2011Thought I'd put this together based on what I just did as it's hard to find a place where you get complete info in one place for this topic.
Not taking any credit as it's just piecing together stuff found on the net.
Of course this is for my specific hardware and system so YMMV:
- Palit Sonic GT 240 card
- Lucid 10.04.1 64-bit
- Intel DG33FB board and E7200 CPU
- LG monitor L194WT at 1440x900 res
Reason for choosing the latest NVidia drivers instead of the ones available from the System > Administration > Hardware Drivers option is that the latest ones contain specific fixes for my card, that are not available in the others.
Prerequisites:
All of the following is based on a freshly installed 64-bit Lucid 10.04.1 system. Some actions may need modification if you have already been tinkering with Nvidia drivers.
1. Backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file if any. The default clean install of 64-bit Lucid 10.04.1 doesn't create this file so unless you have generated and modified the xorg.conf file for your specific needs, skip this.
2. Install the following packages
Code:
If this doesn't work, run
Code:
And paste the output of that in the command above so you get, say
Code:
3. Remove the following packages using Synaptic's 'Completely Remove' option
- nvidia-173-modaliases
- nvidia-96-modaliases
- nvidia-current-modaliases
- nvidia-common
4. Create a new text file disable-nouveau.conf in the directory /etc/modprobe.d/ with the following contents
Code:
5. Download the latest NVidia drivers applicable to your card from here:[url]
6. Save the downloaded file (e.g. NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.29.run in my case) to an easily accessible location like your home folder. Make this file executable by running, say
Code:
7. Check that the driver was correctly downloaded.
Code:
8. Run Update Manager, Check for updates and Apply any found
Installation:
1. Restart and choose the recovery option from the Grub options list.
2. Choose the Root Shell option in the list of options presented subsequently.
3. At the root shell run the following
Code:
If you skip this, the driver installer will inform you of the need to do this.
4. This will present you with a login prompt. Login with your admin username and password.
5. Navigate to the folder where the driver installer is present and run it, like
Code:
6. Accept the license text.
7. Say Yes to installing the 32-bit Open GL drivers.
8. I think you need to say Yes/ Accept once more time to initiate the driver installation.
9. Once the driver is installed it will ask you whether it should configure xorg.conf for you, say Yes. This will create the xorg.conf file if not present in your system and modify an existing one if present.
10. Back at the prompt, shutdown the system
Code:
11. Restart and use the normal startup option in the Grub options list, if all goes well you should see your beautiful desktop.
General :: Installing Latest Ubuntu 11 - Manually Arranging Different Options In Partitioning Menu?
Jul 5, 2011I usually use Ubuntu as a way of accessing my hard drive when Windows 7 crashes. I now want to reinstall Ubuntu on my hard drive as a seperate OS on its own partition.
I installed Windows 7 already, and I allocated about 60gb for Ubuntu. The problem now is manually arranging the different options in the Ubuntu partitioning menu. I tried the automatic installation but I was unhappy with the fact that it merged my W7 and the Ubuntu installation on a partition.
CentOS 5 :: Installing Latest Version Of Eclipse And Changing Where The Menu Item Point
Feb 4, 2010I am running centos 5.4. I just installed eclipse from Application,Add/remove software. The version that installed was not the latest version. I can remove the version I just installed but how should I install the latest version? I was able to dl the lastest version but it came in a .tar.gz file eclipse-java-galileo-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz When I unzipped it, there was no install option but I was able to run it from the tmp folder.
I want to add a menu item under Applications, Programming to link to the latest version that I just downloaded but I haven't been able to figure this out. The 2 question I have are this: 1- Is there a way to have the latest version show up under Application,Add/remove software so that I can just uninstall the version I installed and get the lastest?
2- Is there a way to install the downloaded version and have it show up under Application, Programming? I love this OS but it's taking me a while to figure out some simple things.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian :: Installing Latest Nvidia Driver On Debian Squeeze ?
Nov 9, 2010I installed Debian Squeeze with no issues. I went to install latest Nvidia driver as done previously with Lenny. Used instructions that worked on lenny from "the trooper" [url]
Downloaded th latest driver for my GeForce 7300 GS vidio card, driver package NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.12.run
Used "method # 2 as described in HOW TO,as it worked perfectly in the past on Lenny. Only syntax I changed was instead of gdm I typed gdm3 as it appears that is the new name for gnome in Squeeze.
Did as folows:
Now the trouble showed up, Unfortunatly I can only go off my memory. A question was asked stating that something did not match, it needed a 3 and the driver had a 4 version or somethng of this sort. then it asked if I new what I was doing (and I lied) and selected yes. And whammo, it didn't work. (This question was asked when i did in Lenny and it is working perfectly still on that system). I now can not boot to GUI, I notice when system boots it starts in "S" mode although I select normal boot from grub2.
Not too bad if I got to reinstall as little is on the system. I just want to know what I am missing on the instalation deal or should I be going about this difrently with Squeeze.

View 14 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Latest Update Prevents F11 Boot
Aug 7, 2009It seems today's kernel update has given a few people some difficulty - but my symptoms seem pretty unique.
* I go through GRUB normally. I 'esc' out of plymouth, and watch my services start. I get message 'mdadm: No arrays found in config file'. Don't remember seeing this before, don't have any RAID devices.
* Next, my file-system gets re-mounted in read-write mode (don't know if this is normal or not). Then, my services begin to start-up. My last service is 'crond'. All services start normally. When it gets to 'crond' the [OK] status is never reported. Visually, the screen flickers a few times, stops, then nothing happens. I can type characters though, and they do show up.
* If I then shutdown my computer by pressing the power button, the shutdown procedure begins. 'crond' shuts down successfully (indicating it started just fine), and the computer goes down normally.
* I don't believe this is an NVIDIA issue. I rescue-moded and changed my XORG.conf to the basic VESA driver to eliminate this possibility.
* Worst of all -- No older kernels work now either. They behave in the same way. When I try to boot to other run-levels, no luck either. This tempts me to think the problem might be file-system related and the re-generation of grub.conf threw something off?
