So I installed Ubuntu a while back and had a dual-boot thing going on. Bare in mind I am a newbie at linux and anything related to the actual mechanics of computers.

 

So everything is going fine, then yesterday I try and delete the Ubuntu partition and make it how it was before I installed it. So I do this and then when I reboot the computer, the error:

 

GRUB loading stage 1.5

 

GRUB loading, please wait...

error 17

 

I have heard it has to do with the MBR and stuff, but I don't know how to fix an of it...

 

Please note that I do not have a windows CD, and that the only way I can use my computer is by booting the Ubuntu live CD.

 

From the live cd I can tell that my windows partition is not gone since I can access the files so I guess I havent totally screwed things up.

 

I would really appreciate it if I could get very detailed directions, since I'm new to all of this.

Avant now has a Fedora repo, so to get that working do as follows:-

 

as root (su -) do this

 

1. install the repo

Hello folks~

Gotta a problem configuring the dhcp.conf in redhat linux system acting as a DHCP server. Here is the connection scenario:

I wanted to connect CPE devices(routers in this case, can be PCs) to the ONU(optical network unit) devices which in turn are connected to the OLT(optical Line termination) device through a splitter. All the devcies were supposed to get the IP addresses and other basic config from the DHCP.conf file.

 

I could get the IP addresses for the OLT and the ONUs as I matched the mac addresses with the IP addresses in the config file. The problem lies in getting the addresses for the CPE devices. I want the CPE devices to get certain addresses that I specify in the file associated to a particular ONU that the CPE devices are connected to.

I got the config file from a friend of mine which works for OLT and ONUs but not for CPE devices. Could anyone please go through the config file that follows and let me know what changes I have to make to make it run?

 

here is the config file:

 

I just installed YDL for my PS3 and I'm a complete noob to the linux world as a whole. I wanted to know how to properly go about getting my wireless router's signal picked up by the PS3 internal wireless network card. Everythign works flawlessly in teh regular PS3 XMB. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Hi, not really sure what to say... ;)

I'm new to Linux, I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 and Skolelinux on VMWare server as virtual machines, (a program which I'd recommend to any fellow noobs.) I'm interested in learning as much as possible, as I'm hoping to go into IT support when I finish school; I'd not like to put my name to something as a professional without knowing as much as possible. I'll almost certainly be asking a few questions as well.

See you around!

Hello all, I would like to introduce myself as SkullFire. I am not entirely new to the open source/Linux scene, but I can't say I'm even close to know the standards :) Recently (about a week ago) I have installed Linux to my desktop computer. Where I've had previous distributions on my system before, this one has lasted 7 days without either being forgotten or deleted. I had given up on Linux before, because i couldn't understand it, but times have changed, and I'm looking for a new experience :) Something fresh and fun. I am also into video gaming and music too. Two of the core reason's I couldn't use Linux... my games wouldn't work and my sound card was always incompatible.

 

I hope to have a fun time here in this community, and I wish to learn many things and meet lots of people too :)

hi, i need to be able to run windows programs from time to time, and i would like to know which should i do?

 

dual boot or virtual machine?

 

really right now, all im worried about is which one is the easiest to set up, or in the case of both of them being complex which one is "better" i guess.

 

i think im leaning towards the virtual machine because it seems like it would be "safer" from virii because i could simply start over very easily, by like just restarting the OS right? but it would be slower because it has to emulate everything right?

 

thank you!

 

edit: I have tried wine, but for some reason it locks up my box when i try to do anything with it

Hello all.

I decided to give linux another chance.

But i cannot get beryl (which is why i am trying linux again) to work.

I get this White screen/White cube.

I think its my drivers.

Does linux Fedora 7 have drivers for the ATI Diamond Stealth X1550 256mb Graphics Card besides the proprietary drivers?

I cannot get those drivers installed. Mostly because i do not know how to install them using the console. (terminal)

So guys can ya help a noob?

 

 

 

 

Oh and i think it should be: www.linux-noob.com By masters for the noobs :-)
