hi...

 

i got a redhat9 linux machine with psybnc installed on it.

everything works fine but i want ssl support with my psybnc.

i got the newest version from openssl.org and installed it...

when doing make menuconfig in psybnc directory it says:

"SSL-Support: No openssl found. Get openssl at www.openssl.org"

i googled already and found out that some ssl libraries (libssl or something like that) are needed to get openssl work with psybnc!? but i can't find the rpm...

it would be great if anyone here could tell me how to get openssl work with psybnc!

 

thanks in advance.

p.s.: pls note that i am a real linux noob! although i installed and configured psybnc myself (which was not very hard to do ;)) i don't know much about linux!

I have no idea how to install anything with Mandriva 2008.0

 

I see the how to forums and I am just not getting this stuff to click. How can I learn to read the instructions with understanding?

 

Stuff I need installed: Wireless Drivers, nVidia Video Drivers, Beryl

 

 

Thanks a bunch,

I'm using Fedora 7. I decided I want to switch my LVM2 PV to JFS. But I also want to add another HDD and build a raid array out of three extra HDDs. I saw evms project has a beautiful gui to do all LVM, RAID and formatting in 1 gui place. But I think it says I have to recompile kernel, remove similar distro specific symbols from kernel source, change fstab from lvm to evms while keeping both in the interim. Sounds crazy. Is there an evms replacement in Fedora 7? The evms website documentation is really old, I'm thinking its been replaced. gparted is close, but doesn't do raid or lvm.

so yeah, I'm a noob to linux.

 

 

I got a ps3 that is runnin Yellow Dog 5.0, and I know how to poke buttons and look at the internets, but I have no clue how to run games or emulate windows so that I can run games.

 

But yeah, i'll make a thread in a lil about my problem, but hey, whas up guys.

Hi,

 

I have two boxes. My main one is Windows XP, and is connected to the internet. My second box is CentOS 5, and is connected directly to my XP box via a crossover cable. It took some work to get XP and CentOS to talk to each other, but now they are actually communicating.

 

I do NOT want a website posted to the public... I just want to be able to access it from my XP box. My linux boxes IP is 192.168.0.245, and I can successfully PuTTy into it from my XP machine. So I know the connection is good to go.

 

I updated my httpd.conf file with the 192.168.0.245, and have the service up and running. I can connect to httpd locally via "telnet localhost 80" no problem. It works.

 

The problem is I can't connect to it from my XP box. I try http://192.168.0.245 in my browser, but that doesn't work.

 

I've tried all sorts of things... after all that's said and done, I think it must be a firewall issue. Maybe not though. I've tried changing the httpd port to 7000, 8000, etc, and it still doesn't work. I tried disabling SELinux, and it still doesn't work (although maybe I disabled it incorrectly?).

 

Right now I'm running it on port 8000 with no luck. Here is some output that might get people started:

 

I am a linux noob and have spent a considerable amount of time searching for information to help me configure my linksys wireless-N USB adapter. I was finally able to just recently

Iam Linux-Noob. I managed to install rdesktop - took me half a day. Now iam strugling, when i want to run it.

and i get this:

Now i have no idea what should i do. I tried to search forums etc. but this problem can be coused by lot of things...Iam really lost here.

 

Any help would be apriciated.

Hello lads and lasses,

 

I've just gone back to linux again after running OSX for a few years now, and of course I have PPC, so not all software I would like to use runs on PPC, so I thought about getting a new laptop, with Intel of course.

 

My questions is as following; As I've become spoiled of the slick and simple design from Apple, I wonder if any of you know a nice looking laptop that Fedora supports "out of the box"?

As in, fully support the screen and graphics card, support the (if included) video/dvi out, all the other stuff that makes it usable and of course, the wireless card.

 

To make it easier, I'm not looking for the most powerful laptop. I just need 12" screen, 1GB RAM, 40GB HDD and 54Mbit wifi will do just fine for me, as long it is good looking, portable and affordable.

 

Looking forward reading your advice. Thanks in advance.

Hello All,

My first post. I hope this is the right place.

I downloaded googleearth, and managed to run the .bin file thanks to linux-noob. It gave me a successfully installed screen and placed the googleearth icon on my desktop but when I click on it I get a quick (about one second) white print on black screen, then I'm back to my log-in page ???. I tried typing googleearth in a terminal window but that didn't work either. That's about the limit of my linux skills, as I am a real noobie. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
