when iam trying to use filezilla in a newly installed fedora 14,it shows a time out error. (when trying to connect to a server) my pxoxy properly working&i get internet connections, in my filewall ftp port is enabled. so what may be the issue now?
View 1 RepliesI installed fedora 12 very recently after which I installed a few files. I don't know where these files get installed. Is there a default location for newly installed files?
If there is one, is it possible to change the location?
I finally got the driver to be installed and to be associated with the network adapter. Now the issue is the wireless network adapter won't connect to my wireless network. I am new to Linux, and am trying to get my Fedora 14 to work online, without needing to constantly be wired in (what's the point of having a laptop if you have to be stationary). Anyways my network has WPA2 personal security with a TKIP + AES encryption (I switched it from solely AES because I thought that might have been the issue).I've heard a lot of good things about Linux, but so far its been frustrating trying to get this wireless connection working. I am currently taking a course on Linux, and I am using the opportunity to learn about and maybe switch over to a Linux OS which I have heard so much good stuff about in my previous courses.

My isp is TalkTalk, they do not support linux, and have suggested that i contact the Geek squad who might be able to help me for the princely sum of �30. i think that all that i need is the ip address for my Isp or something equally simple and my problem will be solved. failure to resolve this issue means that i might have to go back to windows.
The machinery that i have is an emachines 3210, 2.70 GHz, a Dlink wireless router, i am using a cat 5 cable plugged directly into the back of the pc, i am using fedora 13. ps my son is using windows and is connected to the internet still via WiFi.
I have recently switched entirely to Ubuntu. I love Ubuntu and everything I need works fine, except the whole thing keeps crashing on a regular basis - screen goes black or white in a blink and totally hangs, requiring a hard reboot. How to starting trying to figure out what's happening? - I don't think it's hardware, as this laptop has worked fine with windows for a few years now. What sort of scans or checks can I do to investigate?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI had a dual boot system (Ubuntu 10.04 and XP) and had a problem with my XP and had to reinstall it. Unfortunately I forgot to backup the boot file. After the re-installation of XP, I can't load Ubuntu 10.04 anymore, so I booted up Ubuntu 10.10 using USB, during the install, it didn't give an option to do a repair, so I did an install along with other OS. After the install, the GRUB showed now 3 OS:
Ubuntu 10.10
Win XP
Ubuntu 10.04
How can I remove the newly installed Ubuntu 10.10 without damaging the other OS? I'd like to keep the 10.04 because it's all customized and have several apps already installed.
I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my PC from CD.I selected the option for it to run as dual boot with my windows xp (SP1 - don't laugh). I changed the boot priority order in BIOS to hard drive.The problem is the boot menu where i select the OS doesn't appear and I go directly into winXP. I have rebooted ubuntu from the disc and checked that all the ubuntu files are there and the drives are partitioned as set. So where is the boot menu?I notice the grub.cfg file refers to windows xp do need to change something here?

It's said to have GRUB2 by default, but at boot time it says Grub 1.97 beta...
So I just had gotten to know the old Grub a little when I upgraded Ubuntu to find the new Grub, which I barely understand at all! My use of Ubuntu is mostly for learning and recreational as my bread and butter is working on people's messed up Windoze systems, since that is where the work is. Naturally I've got to use and work with Windoze to know how to fix it and keep it running cleanly, but Ubuntu was the first Linux I found that to me seems like something that could be potentially be embraced by "non geeks". I have as yet to get anyone to try it; it is all about keeping up with the Joneses and having what they have. There is also that old pervasive myth that you get what you pay for, which with computers, I find the opposite is so often true, that the good stuff is mostly free.
In any case I dabble a lot with Ubuntu for fun and personal knowledge, but since I put 10 on I had only Windoze 7 on my machine at the time. It picked it up and I purposely installed Grub to my Ubuntu drive (I used separate physical drives, so that if you removed the Ubuntu drive, 7 would boot as if Grub and Linux were never on the machine and that is the way I like it since I tinker a lot.). The trouble is that I need Win 7 to be the default and I don't know how to do that with Grub 2 (is it 2?) I used to know with the old one. Also, I have since added a 160GB PATA drive with XP on it, since so much of the help I am asked to give over the phone is with XP and I am not one who can talk others through things unless I can see it myself. Plus there are some things I do that just plain old work best with XP. So I also need to add XP to my boot menu, and it is, on a separate physical drive as well, and I wanted that the same too; if you made the XP drive the priority boot device it will boot XP as if it was the only OS on the machine.
What the ideal for me would be is to have the Ubuntu drive as the one it boots from, Windoze 7 to be the default OS, and XP to be on the menu too. I have been able in all of the time with Ubuntu and Linux in general to find precious little info on how to do things with multiple physical drives. It seems to be taken for granted that the only way people multi boot is with separate partitions on a single physical drive

I installed an Oracle-provided RPM that installs a library, let's call it libUSEME1.0, into /usr/lib/oracle/yada/yada2/libUSEME.1.0. I then have an RPM (perl-DBD-Oracle) that depends on libraries from the Oracle-provided RPM. (For now, let's say it depends on libUSEME.1.0)
I then try to do both a 'rpm -ivh' and a 'yum localinstall', on that perl-DBD-Oracle RPM. However, yum still complains that this dependency is missing. The only semi-useful post I could find from Google shows that setting things like LD_PRELOAD won't change yum's mind - it still says the dependency is missing.
What is the proper way to demonstrate to yum that you have already installed a library on which an rpm (or package) depends?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI setup a HTPC about a month ago, and just expanded my storage by adding two 750GB drives in addition to my OS drive. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 as my OS and need help setting up a raid 1 on the two 750GB drives.
gparted shows the two drives as /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc
Recently, I decided to wipe my system, put in two 250GB hard drives and rebuild my home file and print server. One of the hard drives is a SATA drive, and the other is not. In any event, they are identified as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb in Gparted. So far so good.
Working on (reading from/writing to) the first hard drive (where the OS is installed) is no problem. However, I have had difficulty trying to get my system to recognize my second hard drive and then allow me (nate) to read and write to said second drive. I followed these directions from the ubuntu community web page during installation:
[URL]
and setup my second hard drive with an ext3 file system. The drive is /dev/sdb. The PARTITION is /dev/sdb1. The MOUNT POINT is /media/TheBase250.
The problem(s) begin at this point. I cannot:
1. Unmount the volume at my will-error says that only root can unmount
2. I am not sure if the command sudo chown -R nate:nate /media/TheBase250 allowed me to take full ownership of said drive. It appears as if nothing changes when I run this command in terminal (even when I am root) Moreover, I cannot give myself permission to read and write files to the drive.
3. However, when I open up nautilus, browse to "TheBase250", right-click in the corresponding "explorer" or "finder" window and look at the properties for the drive, it says that "nate" is the owner (under the permissions tab), but again, I cannot give myself FILE read/write capabilities, nonetheless anyone else. When I try, all that happens is the corresponding box goes back to displaying "---"
4. Interestingly, if I skip nautilus and double-click on the drive from my desktop, again, logged in as nate (only user account created) and then proceed to right-click on the window that opens up, click properties, half the time it says that I cannot make changes to the permissions because I am not "nate." Well, last time I checked, I am nate, and this is, albeit delinquent, my computer.
5. Another piece of information that may be helpful is that if I simply right-click on TheBase250 drive icon on my desktop itself, navigate to the permissions tab, the dialogue box says that "The permissions of "TheBase250" could not be determined"
Some additional information that may be helpful is the output from my fstab file. So, for your benefit, here is the output (the stars are not part of the file, but only to help improve readability):
************************************************** *****
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a

Today I replaced my desktop's old Radeon HD 3850 with a new Radeon HD 5670. My system dual boots Lucid and Windows 7. Setup in Windows 7 was fine and the card now works. In Ubuntu, though, I see the Ubuntu loading screen, and then X fails to start and I'm given a blank screen. I booted into recovery mode and started with failsafe graphics; this allowed me to select an option to reconfigure with new hardware. Unfortunately, I perused some older threads on this sort of topic here and tried: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from the root terminal accessible in recovery mode. Nothing happened.
