  RH9 WiFi on laptop
Posted by: Benwin - 2004-03-12, 08:54 AM - Forum: Wireless - Replies (3)


I am currently using RH-9 on my laptop, and would like to use my DWL-650M (Cardbus revision, still uses realtek chipset) but, to no avail.. Also, have an MN-510 USB WiFi adapter (used for wardriving)... neither work... i've tried installing the wifi update, etc...

 

Someone in #redhat on efnet suggested i install Fedora... Will this release support my 2 WiFi cards? Anyone know?

 

I am downloading the ISOs at the moment, and will install Fedora reguardless... but I really need help getting wifi to work -

 

thank you

  command not found
Posted by: anyweb - 2004-03-10, 09:06 PM - Forum: Tips and Tricks - Replies (3)


have you ever seen this in Redhat or Fedora ?

 



Code:
[root@localhost anyweb]# ifconfig
bash: ifconfig: command not found




 

the reason... even though you are logged in as root, is because of the WAY you logged in.

 

let's look at the way i logged in by seeing the whole picture...

 

 

 



Code:
[anyweb@localhost anyweb]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost anyweb]# ifconfig
bash: ifconfig: command not found
[root@localhost anyweb]#




 

i logged in to root by using su, now that does make me root, but it doesnt give me root's path to all the lovely things root normally has access to..... which explains the errors above.

 

So, to get root and roots path simply do like this

 

 

 

 



Code:
[anyweb@localhost anyweb]$ su -
Password:
[root@localhost root]# ifconfig
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:2D:46:B2:5F
         inet addr:192.168.0.117  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
         UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
         RX packets:181014 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
         TX packets:173787 errors:322 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
         collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
         RX bytes:86004986 (82.0 Mb)  TX bytes:25431537 (24.2 Mb)
         Interrupt:11 Base address:0x100
                                                                               
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
         inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
         UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
         RX packets:2598 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
         TX packets:2598 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
         collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
         RX bytes:1777456 (1.6 Mb)  TX bytes:1777456 (1.6 Mb)

[root@localhost root]#




 

notice now, that ifconfig WORKS.

 

while we are here, look at the first bit of code again, when i logged in as su (without the DASH) root was labelled as

 

 



Code:
[root@localhost anyweb]#




 

but after logging in as su - root is now labelled as

 

 

 



Code:
[root@localhost root]#




 

see the difference ?

 

for more info.. about why this happens have a look at this live chat on IRC i had...

 

Quote:<anyweb> is the su - phenonemon only common to redhat/fedora or all linux ? as in command not found when su versus su ---- TH0R sets channel limit to 200

<hardly_ev> as far my experience proves it "su -" is distribution independent ;)

<|SyKo|> hehaeh never heard of a "su - " phenomenon

<slackmin> i believe you need to adjust your PATH variable

<hardly_ev> however it depends on envirnoment setup

<slackmin> yes look at your .login .loginsh and so on

<anyweb> in redhat and fedora su and su - make a big difference

<anyweb> as in > [/url][url=<___base_url___>/index.php?showtopic=549][/url][url=<___base_url___>/index.php?showtopic=549]https://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=549

<anyweb> so i was just wondering is it only those distros, or do others also have this problem

<crib> read the su manpage.

<hardly_ev> anyweb: the - makes su execute .login .loginrc and so on for the user you "su" into

<hardly_ev> anyweb: as crib said read the mans ;)

<crib> typing only 'su' will not load the environment of the user you are changing to. it will merely substitute your UID and GID.

<ducch> anyweb thats 31337~

<anyweb> thats not my question tho, my question is how many distros are affected the same way

<hardly_ev> anyweb: su works the same way on most of the distros

<anyweb> so do most distros also need the - hardly_ev ?

<hardly_ev> anyweb: yep... su behaves the same way in almost any distro I worked with

  how to fake CTCP VERSION replies in XCHAT
Posted by: anyweb - 2004-03-09, 10:20 AM - Forum: Tips and Tricks - Replies (4)


if you want to hide the version of XCHAT that you are currently using, then do two things

 

1. click on 'Server' and tick 'hide version'

 

2. click on 'Settings', 'Lists' and CTCP Replies

 

if VERSION is not listed there, then ADD it

 

paste in the following text, or edit it yourself to say something l33t :P

 

Code:
nctcp %s VERSION mIRC 5.91 (16 bit) for Microsoft

Thought I'd post a few of my old screenshots.

 

Currently running Server 2003, going to be dual booting into FC1 soon (downloading ISO's now). These shots are from when I was using RH9 ;)

Hey guys, I was wondering how I could possibly have a desktop resolution larger than my screen resolution? (ie: screen resolution is 1024x768, desktop resolution is 1920x1440).

 

Thanks for the help B)
