well, time to upgrade the web server then ? what next me wonders :)

 

Quote:"Several months ago, the Fedora Board (in consultation with Red Hat Engineering) decided to increase the length of time that Fedora releases are supported, in terms of updates. This decision was retroactively applied to Fedora Core 5, allowing it to remain a fully maintained release for several months longer than it would have under the old policy. Fedora Core 5 will reach its end of life for updates on Friday June 29th, 2007."

I have been having trouble installing cowpatty on a dell server at work. OpenSUSE Enterprise 9. I get missing .h files. I have tried moving the missing .h files into the program directory. I have tried checking out the Makefile file. I have no idea what to try even after hours of googling. I know its something simple I'm missing.

 

I went home and tried installing cowpatty/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ptw on my ubuntu 7 laptop and got similar and more errors. I dont know what I'm missing.

 

I download the .tar.gz files

then decompress the gz

then tar xvf the tar file

then cd into the directory

then ./configure (no file found)

ok then sudo make

Hey all...

 

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right area, but I really need help. I know pretty much nothing about linux and was following my friends instructions for installing ubuntu. Everything was cool until the restart.

 

I have partitioned about 30gb to Ubuntu, leaving around 150gb for Windows 2000. When it tries to boot from the hard disk, it comes up with grub error 17 at loading stage 1.5.

 

I'm a complete noob at this and can't make any sense of other solutions i've found online. I REALLY need to get this fixed pronto.

 

thanks in advance.

Day 1.

 

 

Backing up my data, and getting Ubuntu downloaded and installed

I started by first backing up my home directory (/home/anyweb) data in FCR6 to an external hdd, once done I scp'd my bookmarks.html (from firefox) via a terminal to my webserver. Next I proceeded to download the Ubuntu iso CD itself, that was easy just head over to Ubuntu's website and decide on the version you want, I chose the Desktop Edition (Ubuntu 7.04 - Supported to 2008) Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM).

 

I burned the ISO, labelled the cd and shutdown my FCR6 laptop and removed the hdd for later use. I inserted an old Windows 98 hdd (30gb) and started booting from the Ubuntu cd, I chose the first option which appeared after some moments, which was to 'Start or Install Ubuntu'.

 

It chugged away for a few minutes and presented me with a Ubuntu desktop, and from there, I chose to 'install to hdd' option which was 7 or so easy steps to go through.

 



 

After about 30 minutes of file copying it said it was done and asked me to restart now, or continue using the live CD. I was ready to continue so I chose to restart.

 

Please note that if you had configured Gaim or another application prior to this restart then those changes will need to be done again, as I found out. The first thing that you notice after installing to hdd, is that it boots much faster than from the live cd, and that there are software updates available for download.

 



 

Wireless issues.

 

After the restart I was connected to the internet via a WIRED connection, as the live cd install didn't load firmware for my wireless network card (what a surprise). The wireless network card is a Broadcom ( Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)) which is a pretty standard wireless card. So my first job was to get wireless working, to do that I clicked on 'system, administration and then 'network''. I selected to remove the tick from within 'Enable roaming mode' and input the wireless AP's ESSID and WEP key, but still no network connection and ifconfig doesnt even report a wireless device.

Quote:<webany> i guess i was under the impression that ubuntu had ndiswrapper installed and preconfigured, and that it installed all the plugins/codecs.<webany> how wrong i was

well the Ubuntu hype is everywhere, and being a long term fedora fan, I've decided to give Ubuntu a test run on my linux laptop (OEM, Intel 855GM, 640mb ram, onboard intel video, onboard broadcom wireless, 30gb hdd) for 30 days starting today (May 2nd, 2007). I will update each day with my thoughts, problems, trials and tribulations with Ubuntu below, so stay tuned !

 

FEEL FREE TO COMMENT IN THE THREADS BELOW !

 

Please note that as there is a LOT of content (including high res. screenshots) in this thread, so I've broken it down into components:-

 

Days 1-5

 

covers:- download, installation, wireless setup, ndiswrapper, rhythmbox, firefox, remote desktop, ubuntu update, dvd playback (totem), compiz/xgl, beryl

 

 

Days 6-10

 

covers:- printing, networking, firefox, mplayer, evolution, bittorrent, docking, ubuntu updates

 

 

Days 11-15

 

covers:- totem, network issues, power management, standby, hibernate, more updates, avant-dock, beryl, gdesklets

Days 26-30

 

covers:- more updates, kernel update, gdesklets, digital camera [sTILL IN PROGRESS]

 

 

The posts above are in real time, so may get updated when you least expect it, therefore if a Day looks unfinished, it's because the day hasn't yet completed or because I'm still typing. So if it looks unfinished, pop back later or hit F5 (refresh)..

 

Finally, when the 30 days are done, I'll write about the experience in the reviews section of the site.

 

If you found this thread to be useful, entertaining or informative, then please consider Digging it !

Well , if you have tried like me to install the VMware Server or WorkStation on a new kernel [ kernel 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6] like me & had no luck !!!

Here is the Solution.

 

I have tried this tutorial which is at [/url]http://www.howtoforge.com/vmware_server_fedora_core_6 which did not work for me cause whoever wrote that article is outdated now & will not work for you either (with all my respect to whoever wrote it) .

 

If you have a new kernel like me kernel 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 (where they are talking about 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6), this is how i got it working.

 

1)Register to get your free serial number(s) to start using VMware Server & then download http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmser...-44356.i386.rpm.

2)Make sure you have the following or updated

* gcc

* gcc-c++

* kernel-devel

* xinetd

& if i was in your shoes i will also install

compat-gcc-34

compat-gcc-34-c++

which will not harm your box (FC6 includes GCC 4.1 compiler. Some applications will NOT compile in GCC 4.1)

install GCC 3.4 to allow compiling applications which do not yet support GCC 4.1

 

yum install

3)uname -r & it should spit 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6

4)rpm -q kernel-devel & should spit [kernel-devel-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6]

5) rpm -i /home/user_name/VMware-server-1.0.3-44356.i386.rpm

6)VMWare server is installed & for your box to use it you will have to configure it

7)$ su -

# vmware-config.pl

this is what you get:

 

In which directory do you want to install the mime type icons ?

[/usr/share/icons]

What directory contains your desktop menu entry files? These files have a .desktop file extension. [/usr/share/applications]

...

In theory , you can valid & confirm each section.

 

8)End of installation if you have no errors !!! your configuration should look like this

The configuration of VMware Server for Linux for this

running kernel completed successfully.

 

You can now run VMware Workstation by invoking the following command:

"/usr/bin/vmware".

 

Enjoy,

 

--the VMware team

 

as root

 

/etc/init.d/xinetd start

 

9)Now if everything went wrong & the vmware-config.pl aborted to configure with something like this

 

Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

make: Entering directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only'

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.19-1.2911.fc6/build/include/.. SUBDIRS=$PWD SRCROOT=$PWD/. modules

10) Rendez vous at this page & download [url=http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update109.tar.gz]http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update109.tar.gz which is a patch to fix this problem where it will save you a great big headache.

11)put this file in your /home/user_name & -> tar -xzf vmware-any-any-update109.tar.gz

12)After the file has been extracted, change to the /vmware-any-any-update??? directory and run:

13) ./runme.pl

14)During the configuration, which automatically follows right after the patch has been applied, I accepted all of the defaults to the questions that are asked, meaning the paths to directories that were listed,

For some reason oneday my computer crashed and ever since i haven't been able to change my resolution from 640 by 480. I've tried everything i can think of, but nothing has worked yet. I'm using a intel pentimum 3 with windows 98 se. i've got derect x and voodoo 3dfx. if anybody could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

I have posted for help on the Fedora support forums, but nobody was able to give me an answer to my specific problem. I am about ready to lose it! I've been trying so desperately to get on the internet but it seems that my chipset was created in hell :( So I hope that somebody here will be able to save me with some nice step by step (or not even) replies, since I am a huge noob.

 

Quote:I installed FC6 almost a week ago on my Dell Inspiron 600m notebook and everything works just fine except for I cannot get my wireless internet to work. 

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev02)

02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev02)

 

Under Network Configuration, eth0 and eth1 are both listed as inactive and when I try to activate them, it says "failed; no link present. Check Cable?"

 

I've searched around a lot for a solution, but I found most answers to be too confusing.. and I'm also not too sure if I have to do anything special for the ethernet controller to work?

The Linux server Red Hat that I have got in my lab is giving me this error :

 

((Destination Host Unreachable.....))

 

 

Its NIC is up, and IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway is fine, the Cisco switch where it connected is configured correctly, but neither any one can ping this Red Hat Server nor it can ping any one on the same network.

 

Switch shows green light , that means physical connection (NIC, cable) should be ok.

 

I even added the default router under the properties of NIC on Red

Hat Server....it didn't make any difference.

 

 

If I unplugged the server and plugged my laptop instead, they can ping each other (switch and other PCs and laptop)

 

1- Beside the firewall (enabling and disabling) that I have to check

 

 

 

2- Can I uninstall TCP/IP and reinstall it again (If that feasible like windows)?
