I want to manually migrate my XFree86 settings to another box running XOrg. Both boxes have exact same H/W config. Only diff is that one runs sarge, other runs etch. What is the strategy to do that?

I am running Opensuse 11.4 and trying to install the ATI graphics driver. System requirements are for XFree86-Mesa_libGL and XFree86-libs. I can find XFree86-Mesa_libGL but end up with dependency hell and can't find the libGLU.so1 needed and I can't find XFree86-libs Has anyone got any ideas where to find these and any dependencies.

So yes, I got this new Mini ITX setup with a dual core Atom processor and 4 gigs of ram for my new computer. I'm going to use it as a media center in my living room. However Atom 1.6 ghz is no screamer so I'd like to build a system using a light weight operating environment to leave more power for running programs and playing my media.
I could install the latest version of Kubuntu again but I thought this time I'd try to get a bit deeper into Linux and educate myself. Could someone clarify the differences between XFree86, Window Manager, and a Desktop Environment (KDE/GNOME/etc)? I know it goes like Hardware -> XServer -> XFree86 -> Window Manager (I read the tutorial on linux.org). But where does KDE or a "Desktop Environment" come in? Is KDE a decked out window manager with its own programs that runs on top of XFree86 or what? Or does it totally replace XFree86?
I have just installed openSUSE 11.2. I tried to install the ATI driver for Radeon 8500 but it complains that no XFree86 can be found. Doesn't openSUSE come with XFree86 installed?

I have installed the RHEL5.4 O/s and all was well. I also setup all the required packages as per oracle documentation and still all worked fine. The dba then installed the following packages as he stated it was required, however this caused the gui dispay to be broken a X fails to start:

The current kernel version is: 2.6.18-164.el5PAE I tried to see if this package is on the Linux disks, however it could not be found and he thus downloaded these packages. Does anybody know about an alternative package set to replace these or alternatively an updated set specifically for RHEL 5.4 as I am unable to find any on the web.
I have a couple of questions and one problem regarding my AMD64 Testing box. According to this Debian Xorg Wiki : Xorg is the default X Window server since Debian 4.0 (etch). It replaces XFree86 and is maintained in Debian by the XStrikeForce. But...it appears that I don't have Xorg as my X Window server, but rather XFREE86? I just checked my i386 Testing box, it does have /etc/X11/xorg.conf

The problem: I have lost my higher screen resolutions after today's apt-get dist-upgrade. I only have 800x600 and 640x480. I probably won't complain about these resolutions in twenty years or so, but for now, I'd rather get the higher resolutions back, ha.

there are several posts related to my problem but not quite what I want. I don't need any effects to be running nor do I need perfect resolution. I have a PCI-E card Nvidia 8600 gts and I need to run redhat 7.1 for reasons that are not debatable. I also have an onboard ati radeon X 1250 but currently I am running the PCI-E.The installation was successful and ran in GUI, however after installation and reboot, the screen keeps flickering trying to load the desktop.I just need to get the GUI running the same way the installer was able to run in GUI, I tried editing the XF86Config file to change the driver to either vesa or vga but still didn't work. Probing for devices is not an option since the card is not listed and the maximum video ram goes up to 64MB in xconfigurator. It probes my card as a VGA generic with 1 MB ram. I know there is a way to have the desktop load just the same as the installer's gui settings but that's where I need help.
this is after changing all the 'driver' values to vesa. I don't understand why it can't find the screen even though I used the horizontal and vert. sync values for my monitor. Any instructions or advice on how to just get the desktop loaded would be great, I know this is a very old OS but regardless I need for it to work.

As I plan to install a Centos 5.5 server with Samba for NAS and print sharing, is it possible to migrate the PDC services to the Linux server? I want desktop users and windows servers to authenticate on the Linux server. Is this possible? I have never worked with LDAP services. Worse, should I attempt this migration, it must be completed in a very short time frame.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm in the process of testing upgrade -yes, upgrade, no fresh reinstall of my old trusty 11.2 to the unknown 11.4. One of the applications I need is VMware. I'm using vmware server, and I'm thinking of migrating to the player version, because the server is
not supported, it seems.I have installed a small test partition with 11.4, and in it I have installed VMPlayer. It looks nice (I had to install a lot of development packages, gcc, kernel-source, etc - nothing new here). Sound in the guest (I'm testing my virtual Windows Me) works; it wasn't working in the server. Nice surprise.
One missing feature is snapshots. The trick is to simply replicate all the files of the virtual machine to a backup. It is huge space wasted, 9 GB for a small machine, but it is doable. One thing I do not know how to do: VMplayer gives a notice that the virtual machine is version "Workstation 5.xx virtual machine", and that this version'x CMOS is not compatible and will use a default cmos instead. But I have not seen anywhere how to choose or change or upgrade the virtual machine type.
After updating to KDE4.7, and upon opening Contact I was asked if I wanted to migrate to Kmail2 now. I said no as I was told that the migration would take a long time. I thought it would ask me again for the migration the next time I would open Kmail. But no, I now have kmail with no past emails, no adress book no nothing. Is there a way to start the migration again.

I get this when I try to run it: Your current encoding was not found, or you are using the C Locale. Please pick a supported language from usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED and log in again.
I'm not sure exactly how to do this and wanted to ask here first before I screw something up with the unicode. Also this hasn't happened to me the first time I've used this, but also I didn't perform or install as many other options and devices as last time either.

My wife has decided to give linux a try. I've installed Mint Linux 10 for her.Last week (bad timing) I converted her to Thunderbird. Now I have the task of moving all her mail folders and account settings from Thunderbird under Windows 7 to Thunderbird under linux.Other postings say all I have to do is copy the Windows profile directory to her home directory and rename it .thunderbird.
Doesn't work. When I start Thunderbird all it displays is a window for new account details.I tried just copying the <gibberish>.default directory across and renaming it to the one that was there. Again, no luck.Before it started using sqlite things were simple!I backed up with MozBackup, and then noticed that it only works with Windows.
I want to change my old computer,but i want to keep my software.I know that i can install operating systems on new computers' hard disk and then transferring files and settings is possible,i also know that ,i can copy some software on DVDs and use them on my new PC,but ,i do not know exactly how to migrate my operating systems without any loss or disorder. Regarding that my hard disks on old computer,can not be used on new computers because of their connection cable to main-board(sata),although it might be temporarily possible by connecting them to/as CD/DVD ROM site ,so how do i transfer the whole data to new hard disk,without any loss or disorder,and how to configure that all? I ask this because i know some programs do not work if they are moved (even in the same computer) and,operating systems are installed(and configured) in a computer,so is it possible to transfer this installed operating system with a new configuration ? I need this transfer because in many cases i have lost the main source( CD,DVD,or downloaded files,and also some operating systems need activation and or registration,buying and,i won,t be able to install them again.

The thing is I need a bigger server, but at the same time I'm having problems with cpanel and centos and I'm quite bored.

I have a lightweight admin background, but good enough to set up most servers. I have switched from sendmail to postfix for the first time, but I keep going around in circles on the following. In sendmail, I used to maintain a table (mailertable) where I would redirect email like this
[Code]....
I happily mapped any incoming email address of any valid hosted domain either to go out to it's final destination via smtp, or if the person has a local mailbox, it delivered locally. Any errors could be forced, and a catch-all for the domain could be directed also.
I've struggled with virtual hosts and transport and a combination of the two to come up with the same result for postfix. I have this feeling I'm missing something really simple, or I am not 'getting it' when I'm doing something postfixy and I still have sendmaily expectations. right path so I will at least know I'm pointing in the right direction and working with the right files to achieve my aims? Postfix is so amazingly powerful and flexible, I'm having trouble figuring this bit out.
I have this feeling I just need a calm hand on my shoulder, a friendly smile and a hand pointing me the right way..
currently I'm running postgresql-8.3 server on lenny 32 bits. There are also installed some standard packages but in the near future I'd like to install mysql server on the same machine.

Ethernet configuration:
- eth0 private net
- eth1 internet
eth1 is connected to a cable modem and uses dhcp. After migrating to suse-11.2 ip-forwarding (once the system is up and running) is sometimes deactivated and i have no clue why. /etc/syslog.conf has an entry net.ipv4.ip_forwarding = 1
i have modified the SuSE-scripts /sbin/SuSEfirewall /sbin/ifup-dhcp /etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall2_setup to make sure each time my firewall-rules are loaded ip-forwarding is explicitly enabled. This worked perfectly with suse-11.0. Now ip-forwarding is enabled after a system reboot or after one of the above scripts is called, but somewhere somehow ip-forwarding is always deactivated and i have no idea how this happens. This may happen after 5 minutes or after 5 hours. As a workaround i created a cronjob running every 5 minutes issuing a sysctl-command to enable ip-forwarding.
I started using ubuntu now again as my second os. when i want to do some gaming i still need windows most of the times and some windows apps i just cant find equal versions in ubuntu at least not as user friendly yet. Now my question is this. I did not migrate my music to ubuntu during the installation due to i simply forgot so is there anyway to simply relaunch just the Migration assistant ? All i want is that my music from windows appears when i go to my music folder this will also make it easier for me when i use amarok.
