Hi I am new to linux and I'm stuck trying to update my driver. [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_dry.png[/img]

I am trying to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.14.pkg1.run and I'm getting an error: "You do not appear to have libc header files installed."

How do I go about installing the libc header files?

 

thank you for the help

Ron

This might no be the right place to ask this so I apologise if it isn't. My question is very probably a dumb qustion, but I don't know the answer. Okay here goes: What does this mean? I know it's a system email about updates, but at first it used to do the updates and the message would be different, now it doesn't do any of the updates at all and everyday the message is the same.

I'm only partially new to Linux. I'm running Fedora 11. I've just set up two machines, I thought to be identical. Evidently I missed something. I had some problems getting the network started on the second machine, and I must have forgotten a name change somewhere. Anyway, after doing lot's of comparisons between the boxes, editing and renaming and re-linking the ifcfg-GigaStorey file, they are both functioning. The problem is that whenever I start or restart the network on box 2, it reports the following error:

 

hot on the heels of Fedora 11 comes ...

 

"Red Hat today officially announced the beta availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, which in my view is a lot more than a typical point release. Sure we're all waiting for the big RHEL 6 release, but there are some major changes in RHEL 5.4. The most obvious change is the shift to the KVM hypervisor (as opposed to Xen). Xen is still in RHEL, but with RHEL 5.4, Red Hat is signaling its intention that KVM (eventually) is to be Red Hat's preferred Hypervisor. It's a preference that Red Hat execs have indicated at multiple points this year and should be no surprise since Red Hat now owns lead KVM vendor Qumranet."

When I try to run the command

Quote:I know a lot of people out there like to take notes with Linux, and probably didn't come across this program yet, as it look me a bit googling to find it again. The program is called KeepNote, and is a fantastic program for taking notes. I use it with Dropbox, and store all of my notes there and that way it is synchronized to all of my systems. The program itself is open source and free, and you can support it by making a donation on the homepage.

today I decided to update my Fedora 10 laptop to Fedora 11 seeing as it's been out a while now and settled down.

 

the first thing to do was to get some files

 

I don't usually use linux for much, but I'm trying to run a program from terminal that requires another file. The location of the file is "default/file". This is a stupid question, but where would the folder "default" be located?

 

"cannot open default/file: No such file or directory"
