Hi all..

 

I am a new linux user but an old windows user... (I think most people are)

 

I am taking a class in Linux Admin... and hope to learn a LOT with fedora..

 

if you have any questions for me...

my e-mail is:

 

[redacted]@gmail.com

 

see you all in the forums

When I installed the Ubuntu, there were a few problems, but not as bad as now.

 

It had recognized my monitors by type and resolution. Now all of a sudden, It says both are unknown.

 

Other issue, cannot for the life of me get the networking to work. My Ubuntu PC is Hardwired (LAN) to our wireless and the other windows pcs are wireless. I was able to see the other pcs but couldnt access the folders, so on THOSE pcs I activated the share all permissions just to be sure the folders could be seen, eg. games/worldofwarcraft. Well it saw the games, but not the folders inside. yes I shared even the subfolders. I wanted to just drag the folder of the Wow and settings over.

 

My other issue is that I cannot install the cds that came with my M4A89GTD PRO/USB 3.0 mb and my HD5770 XFX video card. When I put the cd in, it puts the icon on the monitor, however, no matter what I do, it will not install. I want the software and such off from it.

 

Last thing, how do I get the pc to recognize the Network drive that too is also connected to the router(LAN cable not wireless)?

 

Ty!

Need help with pip.

# install pip from source

 

yum install python-setuptools

 

cd /software

wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pip/pip-

0.6.3.tar.gz#md5=0602fa9179cfaa98e41565d4a581d98c

tar -xzf pip-0.6.3.tar.gz

cd pip-0.6.3

Dear all,

 

I started installing PostgreSQL 9 using yum and following the guide on http://davidghedini.blogspot.com/2010/10...entos.html.

 

However I get the error message:

 

I'm in the process of installing the Asymptopia Flashcard system (http://sourceforge.net/projects/flashcard/)on Fedora 14 x64. Part of the directions say:

 

IMPORTANT!

 

Make sure to enter the following in your .bashrc or .bash_profile:

export FLASH_COLLECTION_DIR=/home/starkid/.flash_collections

 

Also, make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH included /usr/local/lib

 

I updated my bash profile, but what does the part about "included" mean?

Hello,

I'm new here, and i figured this should be here.

 

I'm running windows 7 and ubuntu, and i tried to add Chromium OS.

I followed the instructions here: http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/wiki/doku.php?id=multiboot

 

Everything seems to work out, but then when i try to boot it from Burg (with Grub 2) it hangs on this:

 

 

decompressing linux... parsing elf... done.

Booting the kernel.

The underscore is still blinking, but there doesnt seem to be any progress so i turned the system off after something like half an hour.

What am i doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Leon.

I have installed a cable that lets me connect the internal SATA connection on my CPU to an ESATA connection on a removable hard drive.

 

I would like to be able to swap removable hard drives, and continue to use this ESATA connection (vs. old USB connection)

 

 

I am unsure how to mount this new type of connection (the USB way used to 'just work')

 

 

I have done an 'fdisk -l' and discovered that the drive is this:
