I am facing some problems with the modem.

The ethernet controller details are Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI E xpress Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01).

 

The connection is very unstable when running on fedora. It is a webstar modem and has been used since past 6 years and so has the ethernet cable.

But on windows i do not have any problems with an unstable connection.

 

Could anyone tell me how to fix this problem so that the connection stays stable?

Do i need a new modem and ethernet or usb cable?

 

Any suggestions which modems are linux plug and play?

I am planning to purchase a license for win4lin sometime soon.

do the windows applications work better on win4lin compared to that of wine?

Mainly for dreamweaver cs3 and a few other applications.

 

I have another question regarding this.

 

I usually work with dreamweaver, mysql and coldfusion on windows. Dreamweaver has inbuilt coldfusion server behaviors. So if on working with dreamweaver, do i need to install windows version for coldfusion and mysql server again using win4lin or will it work by installing coldfusion and mysql on the linux system?

If you're using the proprietary Nvidia driver with Linux, and you have a CRT monitor that the driver won't recognise, or for some other reason the refresh rate is set incorrectly, here are the steps for overriding the refresh rate.

 

You need to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Before making any changes though, back it up so you can restore it if you break anything.

 

I'm trying to setup a Fedora 8 pc to run as a headless server (5 clients max) more of a project than anything. Problem is, when I reboot the computer it wont let me ssh or xdmcp into the pc until I physically goto the computer and login locally once, then everything works fine. Really quite confused here. Ports open of note are: tcp 22, tcp/udp 177,16001, 6000-6015, 35091. I guess my question is whats preventing me from connecting? Is there a default refuse all connections on boot and to bypass it I have to log in to load up my own configuration?

could anyone tell me how to get internet on startup when loading fc7?

I am using cable internet provided by virgin in the UK.

 

I have fc7 installed on my laptop as well as desktop.

on desktop i am also running windows.

The problem is when starting up fc7, it is a struggle to get connected to the internet on the desktop and impossible for any network connection on the laptop.

 

However this was not a problem when i had first installed fc7 and used it for a few months on both systems.

 

Things went smoothly. However i stopped using the laptop for a few months and began to continue use with windows on the desktop for quite a while.

 

Now when i run fc7 on both systems, i face network problems.

why is this happeneing?

 

I used to face this problem a lot with fc6 mainly on the laptop and it was a pain trying to connect to the internet using the network confirguration after 4 or 5 tries or having to restart.

 

are my setting not correct?

so when it starts up, it displays a screen where it determines the ip connection and it then displays the status as failed or ok. now it is always coming failed even after the connection is present. I have no problems on windows. i then try to connect using network configuration.

 

what must i do?

I am on Fedora 8. ABIT KN9 NF4ULTRA AM2 Motherboard, I use the onboard sound.

GIGABYTE GV-NX76G256D-RH video card.

 

My probelm was that I had no sound when I tried to play a .wav in Audacity sound editor.

I was able to record and export to .wav properly and the .wav would play in other apps, just not

in Audacity. This problem seemed to happen out of the blue. Long story short after trying

different playback devices and checking for muted channels in alsa mixer and the the panel

sound applet.

 

My solution, thanks to anyweb, was to make sure my system was updated. I just needed to update

the kernel and kmod-nvidia. Once I updated these packages, I was able to select the proper

playback device in Audacity's Audio I/O Preferences. The proper playback device for me

is OSS: /dev/dsp.

the below are some posts from Zillah which were deleted after the database crash (or rather kernel panic plus crash)

 

i just happened to have the thread open on another computer so could copy the data back.

 

Running FC7. I installed several packages last night. Today, when I booted up the computer, I got this message:

 

Failed to start the X server (your graphical user interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem.

 

I tried Ctrl-Alt-F1 where I get the X server failure and go to a command line.

 

1- cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE

CODE

(WW) warning , (EE) Error, (NI) Not Implemented, (??) unknown, (EE) unable to locate /open config file

2- Then I run : Xorg -configure

CODE

Xorg is not able to detect your mouse. Edit the file and correct the Devices.

Your xorg.conf file is /root/xorg.conf.new.

To test the server, run 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

 

 

 

3- Then I run Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new

only last part of the long output

CODE

Fatal sever error:

failed to initialize core devices

I think i already posted this but i can't find it? so here it is again.

 

Ok so i get fedora 8, install the kmod-nvidia drivers from livna and the installed drivers from nvidias site.

After that i installed Compiz and enabled desktop effects.....

 

but when i try to start compiz nothing happens...wtf?

i get no errors and nothing saying it crashed it just doesn't start.

Also i noticed that the nvidia splash doesn't flash on xserver start...but the drivers where installed.

 

this is my xorg.conf:

 

today at 2am approx, the linux-noob.com server had a kernel panic. I discovered this when I tried to browse the site this morning, I couldn't access it at all via http or ssh. Ping worked however. So I went to the server and hooked up a CRT and I could see the kernel panic details (some big page fault...)

 

after a restart dmesg was full of errors (missing inodes and such)

 

after the restart mysqld was hanging at 100% and linux-noob.com (this site) was non-functional (timed out)
