General :: Distributions Allow An Install Without GUI Desktop?
Jan 7, 2010I've got a great little Thinkpad X22 laptop that I hate to put to rest. It isn't really any good for the latest and greatest Linux distro since it's something like 10 to 12 years old. What I've been wanting to do for quite a while, now, is build a text-base laptop that I can run VI, Emacs, Mutt, etc. I'm looking for some recommendations for distributions that will allow me to do an install without a GUI desktop. Also, a distro that, in this form, will still have good support for wireless. I figure that if I can get my wireless card(s) working, I can pretty much do anything with it. I've been running Slackware, Ubuntu, and Fedora 12 on my Thinkpad T41. Do either of those distributions allow an install without a GUI desktop?

Dec 19, 2010I am trying to install 2 or 3 versions of linux on my hardisk of 500GB capacity.The configuration of my machine is Intel Dual Core, 4 GB Ram, 3.0 Processor Windows XP is not installed on this.I tried to use a tool called GParted but was unable to use as it was not able to bring up the XServer So I booted the machine with fedora14 installation CD and chose "Custom Layout" After reading about the partitions needed by Fedora I created 3 partitions in /dev/sda
/dev/sda1 the boot of 500MB formated as ext4
/dev/sda2 the swap of 6096MB formatted as swap
/dev/sda3 / size 150GB formatted as ext4
The installation went well and fc14 runs well on this.
However when I went to install the other linux version ....the installer was not able to recognize the unallocated space of nearly 350 GB on the hard disk.....So I am not able to create new partitions and then install the new linux on the newer partition.As a result I am unable to make use of the remaining space on the HDisk.I think I should have created /dev/sda4 /dev/sda5 etc when I installed fc14 itself....
Would appreciate some tips on how to install the other versions of Linux on this HDisk....
Applications :: Automated Install Of 30 Applications Across Multiple Distributions?
Jun 15, 2010I'm setting up a large number of virtual machines, each with a basic set of about 30 applications. Obviously, I don't want to do everything manually so I'm looking for ways to automate this process. Multiple distributions (Ubuntu, Red Hat Ent., FreeBSD, CentOS, etc.) will be used, meaning I will have a few Ubuntu installs with the basic set of 30 applications, and multiple Red Hat installs with the same set, etc. So, I'm looking for advice on automating as much of this as I can, even if it means a new form of automation for each distro.

Ubuntu :: Unity - Mythtv Or How To Hide Unity Launcher
May 8, 2011Just moved to Ubuntu 11.04 with unity and only have one problem...For most of my desktop needs I prefer to have the Unity Launcher up all the time (fullscreen apps don't cover it), and have set this option with ccsm.
However, when I watch mythtv, it is also under the launcher (and the top panel as well). How can I force mythtv to cover the launcher?
What I really need is a keyboard shortcut to hide the launcher, but the only shortcut is for "show launcher". (I guess the devs assumed everyone would want it hidden by default).
This, by the way is not my usual way for viewing mythtv. I have a projector attached to the desktop PC and it doesn't get a Unity Launcher by default (in Twinview), so no probs. However, occasionally I want to watch something on my computer screen, and that is when this issue arises.

May 5, 2011I'm running 10.10 on my desktop at the moment and don't want to upgrade to 11.04. I'm running natty on my netbook and actually enjoy unity a lot more than I thought I would. I want to try it out on my desktop (other than from a live cd as I want to see how it integrates with my current configuration) but when I go to install it from the repositories I notice that it's still the build that was with 10.10 is there a way to update it from the repositories? Or do I have to install it first and then update it?

May 1, 2011Just got done upgrading my Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04 and I oddly enough have 2 Ubuntu 11.04 distributions installed:
1.) 2.6.35-22 (in the previous linux versions window in Grub)
2.) 2.6.38-8 (Main Grub Menu)
Not sure why my system was installed with 2? I thought it would be the most recent one?
General :: Can Binaries Run Across Distributions - E.g. Red Hat 7.2 And Ubuntu 10.04 ?
Jul 21, 2010I have no real LINUX system experience and therefore the company has tasked me to get a VMware Appliance running in which they can build their product.
The product runs on Red Hat 7.2. I have attempted many times to get Red Hat 7.2 installed on VMware player. It always fails when I get to Xwindows. I need Xwindows as the company is going to use NetBeans 6.9 for development.
I downloaded an Ubuntu 10.04 Appliance, which runs fine.
The idea is to build the product on the Ubuntu and run it on the Red Hat target.
All systems are x86 platforms.

Jun 10, 2011Having read quite a few of the contributions about Unity, I am still looking for a solution to the following problem, which, I am sure; others have encountered also:
1. Clean install, no access to Unity
2. Additional drivers install - done
3. Driver installed but not active - no matter whether it's current or 173)
4. Unity works for a while, after updating the system, unity doesn't work anymore.
5. Back to Gnome 2, downloading the org Nvidia driver, trying to install it on the command line (init 1) - black and white vertical stripes!
I have downloaded Kernel 2.6.39 from whateversource, but have not installed it yet. Is it the kernel, is it whatever in Natty that courses these problems, or is it my Nvidia card?

I really want to use Unity, but if nothings happens soon, I will have to give up. Fedora 15 enables Gnome 3 (shell) on nouveau; to install the propriety Nvidia divers, however, is also impossible...

Aug 14, 2010As I was trying to do some patching on Ubuntu's kernel I've found out kernel.org's patches cannot be merged correctly with the kernel source. I'm wondering if distributions like Ubuntu have their own kernels different from official ones?
Another thing that I think could be related to this question is the name of the directory of source tree in Ubuntu that is linux-headers-2.6.31-21. What does that 21 stand for? Also there is a directory named linux-headers-2.6.31-21-generic. What's the difference between these two?

May 3, 2010There is this educational institution that we manage and are looking for changing all the workstations for students from windows xp to some flavor of Linux. We used windows environment all through and management was easier with windows domain controller. And the same kind of package is what I am looking at. Spacewalk is one that is suitable for large installations and management and it is looks like what we need. But it is for RH based distributions like RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora. But I am also looking at Ubuntu or some Debian based as option. And need to know if something similar is available for these distributions? If not then we will look at CentOS and Fedora.

Dec 12, 2010I just been given a project to compile code to run under Red Hat Enterprise Desktop 5.3.
Does anyone know if Red Hat sells older versions of Red Hat Enterprise Desktop? RHEL 6 was just released last month. As I understand it, code compiled under RHEL 6 will probably not work under 5.3 due to difference in glibc.
Can I compile code using a Fedora distribution and run the code under Red Hat Enterprise Desktop 5.3 without recompiling the code? If so, does Fedora offer older versions of their distribution?
General :: Do You Think Distributions Should Use Promo Videos?
Oct 6, 2010And I mean what the thread title is sayin', when new version of the distribution is released? But I don't think that it would be bad if they all would have some general promo video. I think of it as a nice way to promote your distro and I also think that that kind of promotion would attract more users. As an example, here's the link to Sabayon 5 promo video; [URL].
I find it to be very simple, short but at the same time great. And I like it very much. In my opinion, all that should be said, considering all the facts that is, was said in that video and in a very nice way. I think that there was no inner distro things in it for a reason, if you understand me. Anyhow, my vote goes for that kind of promotion, but sadly I have seen only few of that kind of videos on the net.
General :: Compare Distributions By Ram Usage?
Jan 20, 2011compare the best ram memory usage among linux distributions?
At the moment with some live linux distributions I run "free -m", on the terminal of the graphical dektop environment, without running any other command or application. Is "free -m" the rightest way to evaluate the amount of all the available ram memory left by a linux distribution? Which are the values to sum to evaluate all the available ram memory for the operating system?
Code:
free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 499 451 47 0 23 229
-/+ buffers/cache: 198 300
Swap: 1027 0 1027
