Days 8-10

 

sorry for not doing any updates on this over the weekend, but I was just using the distro instead of writing about it, and to be honest now that I've installed gnome I've been very happy with it, it's just working very nicely. The firewall crashing incident is down to a bug on the firewall most likely and I havnt done any more testing with that, other than to completely clear the firewall's cache.

 

After using PCLinuxOS now for over a week I am definetly getting to like it, it took some time but i am adjusting to it and liking it, and that's a good thing.

 

I'm stilll waiting on my order of RAM for this laptop, once it arrives i'll start using the computer intensively to see if performance improves as right now it's a bit sluggish on 256mb of ram (caching to swap).

I have a standalone drive that I'm trying to access from Linux (Fedora 7).

 

In Windows, I access this drive by entering "\\netdrive\public" in the Explorer address bar.

 

I'm new to Linux, but I think I would need to mount this drive using smbmount or mount -smb or something similar; recent googling seems to indicate that smbmnt is no longer in Fedora, so I need to use mount -t cifs instead.

 

I've tried various parameters with mount -cifs. I think I want to do something like:

 

hello everybody.

 

I'm an advanced user... in windows lol.. I've been using windows since Windows 98 So i have many many questions.

 

I have just installed Fedora Core 8, this are my specifications:

- AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1.8 Mhz

- 512 Mb DDR ram (i use to have 1 GB, but one memory get trucked up)

- GeForce 7300 GS

- And an ASUS MB.

 

btw... i use the software in the spanish version, so i may not translate all the panel and menu options, ok?

 

Now... I want to use the Desktop effects. I just go to system-> preferences -> visual-du-no-wa and du-no-who-> Desktop efects, then, clic in Activate Desktop Effects, and... Desktop effects could not be enable.

Reading in previous pages i find that the newest nvidia controller must be installed, ok. How to install? I find that first i need to install or configure or something, the "livna".

To do so i go to the terminal and writed (as a super user):

rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm

 

Then... install the controller or whatever with:

yum install kmod-nvidia

 

Now that all is installed i go to "desktop effects" again and... Desktop effects could not be enable.

 

How is that?

 

sorry if i'm UPPER noob in this. But i'm glad to learn and listen carefully :)

 

Thanks for the answers.

After upgrading to Fedora 8 from 7, I am no longer able to play online poker games through any of the browsers: Firefox, Galeon and Konqueror. I think it is a problem with Flash but I am not sure how to solve it.

 

The website requires both the Java Runtime Environment and Shockwave, both of which seem to be correctly installed. When I enter the "about:plugins" this is what I get:

Hey I'm kitkat. Or Caitti. I'm completely new to Linux so if you have any advice for me that would be great help. Distro= Fedora core 6

I was going to install it tonight but I actually decided I'm going to wait and get my new computer first. I was wondering if anyone could help me find a lug because I'll need as much help as I can get. I've heard rumors of there being a St. Cloud area one but so far I'm not finding anything but invalid links. Also if anyone knows about one in Mankato that would also be helpful.

Hi, complete noob here. I am running a dual boot system with Gusty Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) and am trying to use my Logitech THX Z-5300e 5.1 speakers but am getting nothing. Everything is fully updated as far as I can tell, the speakers work when I boot into Windows (I needs my gaming), and when I plug my old stereo speakers into my front audio jack they work fine. I see myself using Linux quite a bit as time goes on and would like to be able to listen to music while I do so.

 

I do not need the actual 5.1 settings (that is really just for games), if I could even get just the front two working I would be happy. I really do not want to end up needing to plug in a second set of speakers just for Linux.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
