Currently nVidia seems to be paying more attention to the beta 180.11 driver, which only supports the newest nVidia video cards, when many more people are waiting for a stable 173.14.15 driver to be released. Even I can't use my fairly new MSI nVidia GeForce FX 5200, on Ubuntu 8.10, because the driver doesn't have a stable version that supports the newest Kernel and Xorg.

 

So please post your name here(and maybe a comment) as sort of a petition to try and get nVidia more focused on the driver that millions of Linux users have politely been doing without.

Hello,

Can someone provide a list of default account names in SUSE Linux Enterprise v9? Thanks!

I'm very much a noob to linux, installing DSL because I had nothing better to do. However, I now have a need to get it off of my machine, yet I can't figure out how.

 

Basically, what I'm asking is, how can I format my hard drive to the point of which I can install a new OS? I've heard about the "cfdisk" command, but it doesn't show any hard drives when I enter it.

 

Thank you!.

hi all,

 

as some of you are aware from the results of the current poll, the forums need a change, an update, something to take them out of that 2007 feeling... heh, well that will happen as soon as IPB moves to version 3,

 

so, if you'd like to get a sneak preview of what that looks like, then take a look here

 

nice !

 

cheers

Quote:Canonical, the company behind the Ubuntu Linux distribution, has collaborated with ARM to produce a complete Ubuntu port for the ARMv7 architecture. Canonical aims to bring the Ubuntu experience to ARM-based mobile devices. This announcement comes only one month after ARM publicly revealed plans to enter the netbook market. 

The new ARM port is expected to be made available in conjunction with the official launch of Ubuntu 9.04, codenamed Jaunty Jackalope. Improved netbook support was one of the primary development goals leading up to the release of Ubuntu 8.10 last month, and that trend is set to continue with Jaunty, which developers say will offer better performance and faster boot time. Canonical is clearly pushing hard to make Ubuntu a top choice for consumer netbook products.

Hello All,

 

What happened to znx? I haven't seen him on the forum for a while?

I want to be able to write a script to basically back up files from other servers. I've got it working from perl grabbing these files without having to ask for password (by using the rsa public/private key I generated and automatically accepting any connection to any foreign host). But what I'm having problems figuring out how to do is only allowing this key pair to issue the scp command (meaning if someone tries to connect to the other servers from the server with the private key it should ask for a password since it cant use the public key on the other server to authenticate ssh since that public key only allows scp usage).

 

Google doesn't seem to be helping much, only get guides on how to generate the key pairs (god is there enough of them?) and I seem to be incapable of finding out how to put limits on the public key (though this could be because I don't know what specifically I'm looking for). I've made some progress, adding command="scp" to the begging of the key does prevent ssh from working but it also breaks scp (basically it looks like the command "scp" was entered without anything else, not the command my perl script was trying to issue against it).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it is only a link to a detailed tutorial of all the little things you can set up in the key file.

When I down load a compressed tarball or use add software utility in fedora 7 and get a compressed tarball I have no problem unpacking it but then I've got a collection of files I can't do anything with. I've tried './ configure' (as root) when I am in the same directory as unpacked files. I get "./ is a directory'. I tried just 'configure' and get 'command not found'. What am I missing?
