hi all,

 

after struggling with the upgrade it's all done now, just a few things to fix like the linux-noob.com logo and adding back some html here and there

 

if anyone would like to volunteer a new logo for the site then please post it here

 

likewise, if someone would like to point out any issues found with the site since the upgrade, then post that here please.

 

cheers

I followed the instructions to install the java for firefox from here how to install the java plugin in firefox, instructions that worked for me : When I goto a website with java firefox just like closes out . thanks for the help [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Basically I follow the instructions from ATI's website and this is what happens when I run the RPM.

 

[root@amorphous-codeworks modern]# rpm -Uh --force fglrx64_6_8_0-9.8.25-1.x86_64.rpm

ATI display drivers successfully installed

please run 'fglrxconfig' now

===

 

 

After I run fglrxconfig and then run fglrxinfo and I get the following:

 

[root@amorphous-codeworks bin]# ./fglrxinfo

Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".

display: :0.0 screen: 0

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect

OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.1)

 

Basically I don't think the drivers installed but then I don't know why. Perhaps someone can make sense out of the above information. Doesn't look like anything changed in xorg.conf either so I guess I am sort of lost.

startx has always worked until now. I do not remember changing anything recently that would have caused this, but I get a "Fatal server error: no screens found" problem. I've got no clue what to do... I'm a noob as you can see

 

Let me know what information would aid you guys in helping me

 

thanks,

joe

ello again,

 

i have linux installed and have a modem installed under a generic modem (i assume this is fine). what do i do next? i did the internet wizard and have a ppp0 connection to my ISP. It says it's activated but I don't see where to dial into at. remember i've never used linux before so if i went about anything wrong, please be paitent. thanks to anyone who decides to help me. (running linux redhat 9.0)

Ok, since dlink is full of <snip>, does anyone know where i can get wireless card drivers for redhat 9?

here ya go

 

hi i'm a linux super noob but i am dedicated to learning how to use it and i have all sorts of trouble but the one that concerns me most right now is the fact that i can't get red hat to see my usb. I have a flashdrive that i connect and i searched in nautilus (i think thats what its called) anyways i located the directory for my cd rom and my disk drive and so on but no usb drive is available to access. So does anyone know whats going on? I have my motherboard disc with all the drivers and such on it but it was made for windows and i dont know how to install the stuff into linux.

hey just installed fedora core 3 ... one problem my screen on me laptop is 1024 .. and the resolution it is on is 800x600 . i have gone in to resolution and screen settinngs but there is no option for 1024 im thinking it may let me is i select a monitor but i canrt lol cus im on a laptop .. can anyone help???
