Fedora Installation :: Enabling User Exec To Install?
Nov 7, 2009
I was told to simply go into the fstab folder to allow myself permissions to execute files without becoming root, but instead of following it blindly I need a 2nd opinion. I cannot install a specific program because of configuration problems even though I downloaded all the gcc, g++ etc packages.
In short, attached a terminal screenshot of me trying to install hplip. Why hplip-3.9.10.run doesn't recognize the fact that gcc has already been installed? In detail: I have HP PSC 1210 connected to a Windoze XP machine. I want to enable network printing, but the only printer showing up standard in the F12 drivers is the HP PSC 1200. When I use that one, I reach the printer, and the Windoze printer queue, but no matter how long I wait, nothing ever comes out of the printer. It'll start moving like "I'm about to print!" but then does nothing. So through the hp-opensource website I determined which driver I want, and get a long way into installing the file. It hangs up on the attached screenshot.
I'm facing some problems with FC11 in my PPC G4. I tried installing and everything went well until it reaches a stage where I'm being prompted to select my network interface.
The options are: wlan and eth0
But no matter which one I choose I still get this error "An error occurred trying to bring up the wlan0 (or eth0) network interface". And if I click cancel, the installation aborts. how can I can FC installed??
I just downloaded OpenSUSE 11.4. After burning the iso and trying to install I get a "cannot exec bcedit.exe" error and the install fails. Has anyone else had this happen and what do I do now?
I reinstalled Fedora over the top of an existing installation which was having problems. My user directory (HomeOriginal-User) was saved and I'd like to restore it if possible, but as a second user as this new installation now has a different new user (HomeNew-User). I attempted to create a new user with the same name as the Original-User but when I logged in, there were error popups.
I noticed (the hard way) that enabling a guest session under 9.04 does not lock the source user. I enabled a guest session for someone and came back to find them rooting through my files. By quitting the guest session, it goes back to the source user's desktop without requiring a password. Shouldnt it go to gnome-screensaver automatically? Can this be changed? Is it a bug?
to replicate: log into source user's account use the menu to start a guest session quit the guest session root through files un-opposed.
I've now tried several times to install a fresh copy Fedora 13 i386 on my old Dell laptop, but each time I reboot the laptop I get the first-time welcome screen which asks you to create a user. When I re-enter my user info, it tells me that there's already a folder created for that user. After rebooting, I'm back to that screen. Does anyone know what's going on here?
I have used this guide to install kernel in my linux cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-26.html stage 1 worked perfectly. Now at stage 2 when I write the command dir/ls in the tmp directory I see the file: linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2 (2.6.26 is the version of my kernel) And now if I try to the tar function on my file and write it like this: Code: tar -xjvf linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src it gives me couple of errors like:
tar: bzip2: can not exec: no such directory tar: error is unrecoverable: exiting now tar: child returned status 2 tar: error exit delayed from previus errors
I have Fedora Core 8 installed. I would like to reinstall it so as to get back commands that have been lost. To preserve my user data that has been stored in logical volumes, what selections should I make in the installation process? Are these selections essentially the same for Fedora Core 10?

whenever I tried to boot into V1 in the following, it hang.
# uname -a Linux tadpole 2.6.32.12-0.7.1.1381.1.PTF-default #1 SMP 2010-05-20 11:14:20 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # cat /etc/*release*

After using yast2 and install "xen" hypervisor, the bootloader show "V1" as label for Xen kernel, if I choose to boot into V1, it will just hang with very little message on screen:
trouble when I log in the fedora as a normal user(not root) today. When I fill the username and the password press enter key. Then pop up a little window locate at topleft corner. And have one line message : "/usr/bin/xterm : Could not exec /bin/bash : Permission Denied"hen I log in as root, it's ok. And when I open shell and type "su username" then the console print "su: /bin/bash: Permission denied"I have checked the perms of "/bin/bash" , it's 755. And I have tried all things which suggested from articles searched through Google. like change / or /root and other directory's permissions but failed
I recently downloaded the wine-1.3.16-x86_64-1sg.txz and did an install using: installpkg wine-1.3.16-x86_64-1sg.txz The install appeared to work correctly and I can now type 'wine' and get the version number etc... But, when I attempt to open an .exe file using wine I receive the following error: wine: could not exec wineserver I am new to Slackware (and linux in general); so where do I go from here?
Im trying to install OpenSUSE 11.3 on a Windows 7 64bit laptop (HP G61). After I select English as the language I want to install I get this error and ends the install. Note: Ive burned several ISOs, some at different speeds even, they always have the same error.
How do I do that ? Currently I have Kubuntu/Mint KDE installed as my main and only OS so the GRUB splash is disabled by default, how do I enable that (so I'm able to change the boot commands to go to single user mode).?
Ubuntu rocks but I am having trouble enabling PAE.
I want to do it to have my full 4Gb RAM recognized by my 32bit OS. At the moment System Monitor only recognizes 3.2Gb and the command "free -m" shows the same value.
I followed these instructions but they don't seem to work: [URL]
PS: The point is to really understand how to achieve this and not to start a debate "32bit vs 64bit OS choice"
I installed fedora 12 Constantine and the install gets to the point of rebooting once it's done with the reboot it goes right in to the login without creating a root account or a user account.How can I solve this issue, there has to be like 3 or 4 solutions to this problem I'm just new to linux.
when I tried to configure network I came across a problem that the enable button on top of network manager GUI is disabled. So alternatively I enabled it with ifconfig command. I also configured DNS servers. But the problem is whenever I reboot my machine. I have to reactivate the network from terminal and give the DNS servers again, because DNS settings are not saved.
Is there an easy way to enable libfaac in ffmpeg? I'm hoping to not have to compile it myself, but it appears that it was compiled without libfaac support. Not sure if what I'm using is from rpmfusion, but it's enabled.
I'm having a bit of trouble with a web server running Fedora 12. Apache works fine, and serves up php content without a hitch. My problem is SQLite -- I thought that it was built into php5, but support is disabled in the repo version. phpinfo shows this as part of the configure command:
The only solution I've read anywhere is "compile php from source," but I'd like to avoid that if possible, for ease of future upgrades. Is there a way to convince php to use sqlite despite its current state?
I have various repos in my yum.repos.d including rawhide, google, and various others which I can enable on specific yum commands with --enablerepo=reponame.
Question is, how come these aren't enabled by default? When I do a yum repolist they don't show up, which effectively leaves orphan programs.
I can see why you might not want rawhide enabled by default for obvious update reasons, but I might want others to be enabled by default, like google for one.
So how is the default repo anabling/disabling controlled?
My laptop (as many others) has a hardware switch which turns wireless/bluetooth disabled. If after booting up the system I switch on this key, the wireless would still remain disabled and I need to reboot the system to be able to connect to any network.
I have tried
Code: rfkill unblock all ifconfig wlan0 up
Is there any way to activate wireless without rebooting the system?
I recently switched to Fedora from Debian (Fedora 12 LXDE Spin), and the one thing that bothers me is that I can't find a way to enable tapping on the mousepad to click. So far the solutions I've found have included editing the xorg.conf, which, to my understanding, is no longer included in the Fedora kernel.
Any one had any success enabling openGl in fedora 14? I tired and failed; as well, kmod seems to have disappeared and the resolution has dropped from 1920X1080 to 1280X1024, and stock there cannot be adjusted higher only can go down, as well the KRandRTray once clicked, ten to vanish.
I upgraded to 11.04, and in the process it said third-party software sources needed to be disabled.Now, when I go into Software Sources nothing happens (the form doesn't open up)Is there a command line prompt to enable third-party sources? I think this might be why my keyboard/mouse aren't working.
i've enabled quotas for a user on my fedora 10 distro but whenever i reboot the machine the boot.log contains the following message :"Enabling local filesystem after every startup i have to login as root and issue the quotaon -auv command to reenable quotas.what causes this failure on startup ? is there a workaround to solve this problem ?there is plenty of free space on the root partition that quotas are enabled.
I have al ready Fedora 11 [Leonidas], and when i did copy my old website to /var/www/html/wiki i had this problem trying [URL] : Forbidden You don't have permission to access /wiki/ on this server... i had to type this commands:
