| Need help installing nvidia divers on FC 4 |

I followed the tutorial on this forum for installing nvidia drivers for Fedora Core 3, everything went smoothly. I ran "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1.run" the installer went into the process of recompiling my kernel. There was an error, but I pressed enter too early so i did not see what it was.
I configured the xorg.conf file as shown on tutorial. In Section "Module" i removed Load "dri", and in Section "device" I changed "vesa" to nvidia and changed board name from "Geforce FX (generic) to Geforce 5700 Ultra (which is the card I am tring to install)
I pretty much followed the tutorial word for word. that is until I was to copy/change ownership. The compands. cp -a /dev/nvidia* /etc/udev/devices/nvidia* didi not work as it could not find a directory or file nvidia* thus files were not copied so chown root.root /etc/udev/devices/nvidia* would not work, I checked spelling and everything. I even booted in X and browsed to the folder /dev, nothing was in there.
But i noticed that the module had taken effect and now my video card is labled Geforce 5700 Ultra as I inputed on the xorg.conf file. nvidia is used instead of nv on the file. So does this mean i have the driver installed or does it mean that I just succeeded in just renaming my card from Geforce FX (generic) to Geforce FX 5700 Ultra.
How will I know that I have successfully installed the driver?

| SuSE Linux 9 - YaST Online Update killed X |

I have a bit of a problem.
I have been using SuSE Linux 9.0 Personal for a while and recently bought a new computer. Before this new computer I had an old modem that Linux wouldn't support. With the new computer, I finally got online with Linux. BTW, I use a duak-boot Windows XP and Linux system. The Windows installation is fairly important.
I launched YaST Online Update (YOU) for the first time and downloaded I think msot of the security updates. I restarted the computer to find that after starting up, when just about to show the KDM logon screen, all I got was a long beep and a restart. After running the YaST Repair Tool from the CD, it now just beeps forever until you switch it off.
My system:
Intel P4 HT 3.0GHz
1.0 GB RAM

| howto create the 'service' command |

I've always sort of liked the 'service' command that comes with redhat, so I created my own:
Create a file (as root) /usr/sbin/service
Code: #!/bin/sh
set -e
/etc/init.d/$1 $2 $3
Done.. :)
Example usage:
Code: service mysql start
service mysql stop
service sshd start
Always one for making completions I did this too, mind this is gentoo aimed a little (the secondary option)
Place this in ~/.bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc (or /etc/bash_completion.d/service for gentoo users)
Code: # a function for the autocompletion of the service command.
_service_fn()
{
# set some local variables
local cur prev
COMPREPLY=()
cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}
prev=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD-1]}
#if only one completion or a option is being requested
#then complete against various options
if [ $COMP_CWORD -eq 1 ]; then
COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "$(ls /etc/init.d)" $cur ))
elif [ $COMP_CWORD -eq 2 ]; then
COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "start stop restart pause zap status ineed iuse needsme usesme broken" $cur ))
else
COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -f $cur ))
fi
return 0
}
#setup the completion
complete -F _service_fn service

I have been trying for hours to install dvd:rip ( perl-Video-DVDRip ) without any luck. I found the following information on [/url][url=http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/doc/faq.cipp]http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/doc/faq.cipp
Code: 6.7 Why complains transcode about a missing VIDEO_TS.IFO file?
That's Ok. The corresponding messages are printed by libdvdread if you transcode files on harddisk (which is the default case with dvd::rip). You see something like this:
libdvdread: Couldn't find device name.
libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO.
but these are only (very confusing) warning messages of libdvdread, which naturally can't find any DVD device or VIDEO_TS.IFO file if started from a directory with only VOB files in it. Just ignore these messages, and please don't report this as a bug.
After reading this I became more confused then when I started. This is the error I get after trying to transcode the ripped vob's:
Code: Job 'Transcoding video - title #2, pass 1' failed.
Executed command: mkdir -m 0775 -p '/home/elrond/DvD/StevieRayVaughn/tmp' && cd /home/elrond/DvD/StevieRayVaughn/tmp && dr_exec transcode -H 10 -a 0 -x vob -i /home/elrond/DvD/StevieRayVaughn/vob//002 -w 3504,50 -b 128,0,0 --a52_drc_off -f 24,1 -M 2 -Y 4,2,4,6 -B 1,11,8 -R 1 -y xvid,null -o /dev/null --print_status 20 && echo DVDRIP_SUCCESS
Last output was:
