hi there I just installed FC2 got three problems untill now, but I'll mention the first one now..

 

when I first start FC2 it says "Starting smartd: [FAILED]" I dont know what is smartd and what is it for..

 

 

any kind of help would be appreciated, thanks in dvance.

My name is Chris, I'm 24 and from Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, but spent many years living in Fredericton New Brunswick, where I took some CS at UNB before I took Network Engineering.

 

I am a Network Enginner and currently administer four Windows 2000 Servers, 15 Linux routers/firewalls and 5 VPN's that host about 200 client computers.

 

I have played with basically every OS under the sun, all MS-DOS variants, Windows 3.x, 9x, NT 3.51, NT 4.0, Win2K, WinXP, Windows 2003, BeOS, QNX RTP, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, DEC Unix, IRIX, as well as a pile of Linux distro's from the original Slackware iteration in or around 1993-94 as well as every version of RedHat from 5.x up, Mandrake, Suse, Fedora, YellowDog, Knoppix, Lindows...etc.

 

I've been working on computers since 1988 when I had a Commodore and then quickly migrated to a Hewitt Rand 8088 with 640K of RAM, Hercules Monochrome graphics and a 30MB Hard Drive. From there I had a 286, 386, 486SX/25, 486 SX/25 TI Notebook, Mac Plus, PowerMac, PII 266, and so on until now.

 

I love hardware and collecting it, but I've found lots of people have managed to "score" a much broader collection of stuff than what I currently have. I love older SCSI stuff and have a beastly 7-disk Ultra160 RAID5 array running on a Compaq SMARTRAID Controller that I scored, that's my DNS server and dump FTP for when I'm reloading this box.

 

My current Linux machine (this one) is a P4 2.8C running on an ASUS P4C800 Deluxe with 1GB of PC3200, 240GB of Hard Drive space with an archaic Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS Pro video card, SBLive 5.1, 3COM 3C905C NIC and ATI TV Tuner Card. I have a 21" Sony Trinitron Monitor and a good 'ol Plextor 48x24x48 CD-RW.

 

My internet connection consists of a hacked Alcatel Speed Touch Home, which is now a Speed Touch Pro and running at about 4.3Mbit, not bad for DSL.

 

My hobbies obviously include computers, but also working on cars like my '87 Mustang GT as well as making an ass out of myself on IRC.

 

In my free time I like to spend time with my wife Christa and our 5 month old son, Patrick.

 

Its good to meet all of you.

step 1: get the RPM

For the fun of it I downloaded and installed the latest "Linspire full 4.3.439"

 

AND IT RUN's EVERYTHING!!!! straight outta the gate (hehe no pun............ If I aint got walls or fences >>> then I don't want WINDOWS or GATES :P )

 

I've got Asus A7N8X Deluxe Radeon 9800 pro Optical intellimouse DVDRW AND a Thrusmaster Tac-board (not actually detected by name but WORX)

 

I downloaded and installed for FREE hehe DOOM, Quake II, Unreal Tournament 2003 & 2004 Demo's and they all run AWESOME!

 

My DSL is etho connected and workx fine :P

 

Okay I'm still using Windows XP in the Interim and This click and run is quite n00by but hey I'm a n00b [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_rolleyes.gif[/img] I tried using konsole and using the ut-install-436.run file managed to get Unreal Tournament installed completely off the Original Windows Install CD's :) HMMMM BUT is it just that edition off Unreal Tournament? I dunno BUT MY FPS was woeful about 10 FPS at the most. (glxgears gives me 4-4200fps?)

 

ALL - in - ALL a GREAT "learners" introdution to Linux will help me "get there"

 

on my way to 1337-n3$s

I just set it awhile ago, and now I forgot it. Is there a way to retrieve it back?

in my school i've gotten the task to get a linux box to work...

 

that aint too hard, but i cant get online with it...

 

i can ping www.vg.no and get the ipadress of vg.no, but the packets get filtered, and that happens with all boxes in the network...

 

settings on the linuxbox

automatic ipadress and dns from dhcp

primary dns 172.17.97.2

secondary dns (the ipadress of nov.no)

dns searchpath nov.no

 

the router out from the school network is 172.17.97.1

oh, and we are connected trough a nasty firewall manained by the even nastier norwegian government, sometimes it shitlists certain mac-adresses (or so it seems) and you have to change nc to get online again

 

so my question is...

are there any possibilities that there are something with network i overlooked? like proxy (that we dont have) or nasty ms friendly/ linux hateing routers (it MAY exist :P)

 

sorry if my post makes little sense, i was like tired when i wrote this...

I've never have a chance to work with linux until 2 days ago. I've always run cpanel/WHM on linux, but that's just the interface, not hardcore linux user.

 

I just got a server running at 2.66 ghz and 1 gig ram, 40 gigs drive. Will soon plug it into a data center running at OC-48 for webhosting.

 

The question is, can i set up everything at home running my cable modem, and then plug it into the data center later.

 

I'm running Fedora 2 right now, and it's fresh, I've havent install anything yet. Can you please tell me step by step of all the softwares/RPMs I need in order to have my server runs like those commercial webhosting services out there.

 

Thank you,

 

Alan

hello all

 

i would like to use kkbswitch for switching between languages

except that i don't know how to add language to it.

It shows only EN(English).

 

Is there a better tool for switching ?

Hi,

I'm wondering what pcmcia wifi cards if any will work "out of the box" on fc2. Are there any drivers built in?

heh vote!
