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.

hi i have edited my rc.conf so that i have the dns settings and i have added the line "alias eth0 8139too" to my etc/modules.conf and i tried dhcpcd start and ifconfig eth0 up but i cant get connected. when i do a ifconfig it looks like i have a connection, it says FULL DUPLEX and other things, what can be wrong? wich files schuld i edit?

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.

I'm rapidly reaching my wits end here, seriously...I'm going crazy trying to get this apache server to use SSL...HELP!

All actual IP addresses have been removed and/or replaced with "IP"

 

I already have apache installed on RHEL3 working on port 80. If I change Listen in httpd.conf to 443 I get the following error with FireFox:

Quote:IP has sent an incorrect or unexpected message. Error Code: -12281.

Quote:[root@myserver root]# /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address IP:443

no listening sockets available, shutting down

Unable to open logs

Well, I have no idea how to control the brightness of my screen. At evening or night times I would really like to control it because the excess brightness makes my eyes ache. I tried to find some control panel for, but haven't yet found one on my computer.
