Quote:Open source guru Alan Cox has voiced his support for the controversial version 3.0 of the GNU General Public Licence in an exclusive podcast interview with Computer Weekly. Cox was once regarded as the Linux number two behind Linus Torvalds because of his work maintaining the Linux kernel, and he is still a major force in the open source community. But whereas Torvalds has openly criticised GPL 3.0, and said he will not be signing up to the new licence, Cox is fully behind it.

Day 11.

 

Well it's saturday, I've spent most of the day outside in the garden (thank god) extending the lawn and building a new driveway. So not much time for messing around with the computer.

 

Tonight is also Eurovision night (heh) so as tradition goes I'll be watching it, if there's time left over after that I might play with the Ubuntu laptop.

 

ok back...

 

watched the Eurovision and it was crap, they've even changed the voting system !

 

oh well, back to ubuntu... when i came back to my docked laptop, the lcd was off (power saving) I moved the mouse and it came on (good) and logged in and all was fine

 

so thumbs up ! :)

 

here's todays' screenshot.

Designed to support advanced rendering features in modern graphics APIs, this chipset includes support for programmable vertex, geometry, and fragment shaders. Extending Intel's commitment to work with the X.org and Mesa communities to continuously improve and enhance the drivers, support for this new chipset is provided through the X.org 2.0 Intel driver and the Mesa 6.5.3 releases. These drivers represent significant work by both Intel and the broader open source community."

Hi all,

 

Yes I'm a noob when it comes to Linux so be gentle!! lol

 

 

I've recently had a box setup running Fedora Core 6 and would like to access it with NX-Client for Windows.

 

 

I've been onto the box using putty and run: yum install nxserver

 

 

I'm not sure if everything went well or not, it asked me "Is this ok" 3 times and eventually finished.

 

 

On windows I installed the NX-Client v1.5 and entered all the server details.

 

Initially I was getting "Cannot start local X server" or similar, but with setting compatibility thats been resolved.

 

Now I'm getting:

 

"Session Startup Failed"

 

And the log file this reports is attached to teh bottom of this post!!

 

I've entered the key from etc/nxserver/client.id_dsa.key into the client but looking through the log its something to do with session ID's or something?!?!

 

 

Any help is MUCH appreciated!!

 

Thanks

Quote:Max Spevack, Fedora Project leader posted a outline and expected impact of the Fedora 7 release: "One of the Fedora Project's success metrics is building and running itself in a way such that no single entity can completely control Fedora's fate. Fedora 7 gets us there, insofar as there is no "secret sauce" in the ability to spin a Fedora distribution. Nothing is hidden."
