Hello everyone,

It has been 5 months since my switch and things are great. But i would like to know, if its possible, how to change the print test page in Ubuntu 5.10. I'm cheep and i feel the current is too ink-intensive. Any help on this would be awesome.

Caution i am a super noob to all of this, so try to dumb down the talk for me. I installed Fedora 5 on my imac g4, Fedora does recognize the Airport card in eth1 and because i have my network WEP (128 bit) protected i put in the password 0xXXXXXX where im supposed to, i also have it set to automatically obtain the IP adress using dhcp, but it cant connect. Or is it firefox causing the problem? I have done a google search, i have gone through countless forums but i cant find much mac support. I can provide more info, because i know im not giving enough.Kinda defeats the purpose of having the linux system not being able to connect to the net!

Thanks! -macdudeosx

I was just wondering if there was an alternative way of exporting songs from my iPod Nano and putting them on my Linux machine... Without using GTKpod? I have alot of difficulty installing it for some reason.

Just curious really.

 

This lapotp is dual booted with windows. Sometimes I have had to switch over to windows to print something or edit something before logging back into linux. Is there a way that I can access the docs off windows part of the hard drive on linux? and the same vice versa, so once i'm in windows, I can access the docs on linux's paritition?

 

Thanks

Not sure how to do this, as it needs both windows & linux for what I want to do. I know on windows I can use remote desktop software so I can access the desktop of another windows computer with my windows run laptop.

 

What I want to do next, is connect to a windows computer from a linux run laptop. Any ideas how to do this? I've found a remote desktop setting in linux, but that's for the opposite way around. It's not the linux desktop that I want to connect to, its the windows one.

 

Any idea's folks? :)

Forgive me if this has been posted before, I am rather new to the forum and this issue has been bothering me for quite some time...

 

I recently installed Ubuntu Breezy on my 20gig laptop with Windows 2000 on the second partition. I recently removed that Windows partition through GParted / Disks Manager so that I could add more space to my Linux Distro thus having a greater time with it... Anyways, my problem is that I do not know how to take the unallocated space and put it in the Linux partition. I tried to disable the Linux partition so that I could move the unallocated space over while it was in a partition, but I was unsuccessful. GParted will not allow me to resize the Linux partition due to the fact that it is mounted and I cannot temporarely unmount it. I have about 12gigs worth in the unallocated space and would really like to move it over without having to reinstall.

 

Anyways... Does anyone have an idea as to how I can sort out this problem?

 

Also, I do have some Mandrake and OpenLinux CDs. I know OpenLinux has a pretty decent partition manager, but would it be a good idea to alter the Ubuntu partition with OpenLinux?

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.. Thanks guys!

 

Edit: I tried using OpenLinux and was unable to alter the size of the Linux partition or completely remove the Windows (unused) partition.

Ok, I have some problems with my java installing and also had some with FC4 and never got my problems solved. First I tried the anywebs extras topic way and it really didn't work out. So I tried the following documents way [/url][url=http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc5.html]http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc5.html WITHOUT removing the other failed installation. So it could have not probably work anyhow even if it still would for a first installation. So how do I remove those failed installitions so that I can have another try with dan's way? :/

Like every beginning topic in every computer book, I would like to say to everyone "Hello World!" =D

I'm obviously... a LINUX NOOB! =D And of course, the reason why I am here is that I have a problem, but that goes to a different thread. So here's my first post.
