why do you want to enable IDENTd in linux, well, you connect to some IRC channel or rather you can't connect to the channel or server because it requires that you have IDENTD enabled.
you'll know you don't have it enabled becuase your nick in IRC will appear as something like this
~someuser@someip.com
notice the '~'
that means you are not 'identd'd
right, how to fix it ? easy, in fedora core release 2 do as follows
login as root using 'su -'
type the following
Code:
system-config-services (or for redhat/fedora core 1 type redhat-config-services)
scroll down to 'identd' and put a checkmark beside it (as in the screenshot) and click on start to start the service.
click save to save your changes and close system-config-services.
Now as root, type this
Code:
vi /etc/identd.conf
scroll down to the line that reads
#-- Enable encryption (only available if linked with a DES library)
result:encrypt = yes
and REM it out with a # so that it now reads
#-- Enable encryption (only available if linked with a DES library)
# result:encrypt = yes
save the file (:wq)
and restart the identd service by typing
Code:
service identd restart
once done you have enabled identd. If you still get the ~ infront of your 'nick' in IRC then make sure that port 113 is not blocked by your firewall/router.
I've just downloaded FC2, and it'll be the first time I've used Linux (with zero knowlage of linux).
Right now I'm running XP on a P4c 2.8, WD Raptor (SATA) and a Radeon 9600XT. I'm going to make a partion on this hard drive and install FC2 on that half.
Anything I should know before I move ahead with the installation?
Does FC2 support the Radeon 9600XT?
What version of XFree86 is installed with FC2 (if any)?
If it doesnt display anything you can download the RPMs and install them manually, or click on the redhat/system settings/add remove applications/Servers/Network Servers and put a check mark beside DHCP server.
ok once it is installed now you have to configure it, this is done by manually editing a file called /etc/dhcpd.conf
if the file does not yet exist don't worry, there is a sample stored on your distro,
Now edit the file and change the ip subnet/netmask settings to your liking and save the file.
To start the dhcp server you'll need a leases file created otherwise it will fail to start (first time start). Do as follows to create the file
Code:
touch /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases
Now we want it to start at boottime, so lets tell chkconfig to start it at boot by doing
Code:
chkconfig --level 35 dhcpd on
That's it, now we want to start the server, to do so try this
Code:
/etc/init.d/dhcpd start
ok, connect a client to the server with dhcp enabled and see do they get an ip !
If you want to share the internet via this DHCP server then try the following
Code:
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
The first line CLEARS your current IPTABLEs rules so don't do it unless you really intend to do it. The second line shares out 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.255 as long as the client points their gateway to 10.0.0.1.
option time-offset -18000; # Eastern Standard Time
# option ntp-servers 10.0.1.1;
# option netbios-name-servers 10.0.1.1;
# --- Selects point-to-point node (default is hybrid). Don't change this unless
# -- you understand Netbios very well
# option netbios-node-type 2;
range dynamic-bootp 10.0.0.128 10.0.0.254;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
# we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address
host ns
{
next-server marvin.redhat.com;
hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD;
fixed-address 207.175.42.254;
}
}
I have a problem with fc2 and Creative Audigy 2 ZS.
When i finnished install of fc2, the card worked fine with my speakers and digital output,
using defaults. I had sound :)And i could choose either Default, or two differente SB Creative choices in
oss-driver configuration.
Then suddently after a reboot i didnt have sound, i cant seem to turn up the volume for digital output, the sliders wont move what so ever. But i still have sound going out of my earplug-output.. and now i can only choose default in oss-driver-configuration Audio-unit.
Another WIERD thing is if take the digital out jack like 2-3 milimeters out, and press it to the side, i have sound in the speakrs! What the heaven! o_O
Hey all... I already posted this on LQ and haven't gotten much help though a couple of people have the same problem...
Quote:[Copied from my post on LQ]I spent all day yesterday downloading Fedora Core 2 and just burnt the ISO's after I got home.... Tried to install on my notebook..
HP pavilion ze5270
P4 2.4GHz
40 GB HD
DVD/CDRW
Internal Floppy
etc...
Currently running FC1 fully updated... running perfect.... I use it for developing ColdFusion applications....
When I try to install Fedora Core 2... I get the usual boot screen... push enter..
Get the screen to specify language and installation source (text based not GUI screen) and after specifying installation source as CDROM (which is what I just booted off of) it says:
The Fedora Core CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Fedora Core CD and press OK to retry.
I saw another post that someone had on redhat's website with the same problem on a Dell inspirion with FC2 Test2 and he ran ide=nodma at boot and it worked... no luck here.... any suggestions would be great... I'm REALLY looking forward to FC2!
Thanks!
I don't know what's up with this... I've tried boot params just as "ide-nodma" and "allowcddma" as suggested.. neither work... it's really bummin me out... anyweb, you seem like a pretty experienced fedora guru... but if you didn't run into this problem than you probably don't know how to fix it eh? Any help is greatly appreciated... I have to go to work... but I'll be checking back around 8:00...
