First you must find the apt repositories from somewhere, I used this page right here: Fedora Apt/Yum Repositories list.

 

Now go to your server and doing as root and backup the apt sources.list



Code:
cd /etc/apt
cp sources.list sources.backup




 

Now, edit the sources.list. Remove everything inside and replace with the apt links from the Fedora Apt/Yum Repositories list.

 

Save and exit, then do an update and upgrade with apt-get.

 



Code:
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y




 

This will take a while SmileWhen finnished, reboot and you will have Fedora Core 3.

 

I dont know if this is a good way for doing it but it worked for me, so far so good.

Hope you can help. I have two PC's attached to a KVM switch. One which is an oldish dell runs Fedora core 2 and whenever I switch back to it using the KVM it looses sync with the mouse. It used to do this with Red Hat 9 as well but quiting GNOME with Ctrl+Alt+F6 and then reloading with Ctrl+Alt+F7 always brought things back into line. I am afraid to say it but I know this is a software issue since it didn't do it under its old OS of M$ Windows...

Does anybody know how to get the mouse to resync ???

At the moment I often VNC into it but that can sometime be a pain in the rear for a variety of reasons.

Thanks in advance,

David.

It's been a great card and still is...though its sitting in another box now.

 

So, I pulled my new ASUS ATI Radeon 9550GE (Gamer Edition) from its box (Yes, I'm cheap and didn't spring for a 9600XT or 9800 series card) and expected to be able to install the new 3.11.1 series drivers and be on my way....that assumption was my first big mistake. First off, there are no drivers for XORG's version of X, so you have to force install the drivers. Secondly, you have to use the "-replacefiles" option because the drivers conflict with MESA as well. So, after finding this out and using the appropriate options to work around the problems the drivers installed....which was great until it went to load the module and I got the following message:

 

FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.7-1.494.2.2smp/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko): No such device

 

Which is odd, because the 9550 is on the list of supported cards........

 

So, I did an lspci to see what that turned up for the card ID:

 

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4153

01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4173

 

Which to me, looks normal.

 

So, what is it, that ATI doesn't support this variant of the 9550 GPU even though its really no different from the normal 9550? I don't know, but I"m very frustrated and might load XP on this thing tonight in order to have Video support....not something I'm looking forward to doing.

 

Has anybody else come across this problem and discovered a solution?

 

If so, please let me know!

4. what are the most common used programs and commands, is there list of commands for the terminal ?

5. i heard about kernel recompiling, what is it about ?

I dowloaded fedora core 2 iso files, and i tried to burn them to cd using mkisofs -R -o fedora-disc1.cd then using cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=1,0,0 -data /path/to/fedora-disc1.cd. they all burned fine, but i tried to install fedora by rebooting my box with the cd in the drive thinking it would automatically start the fedora install.

 

Needless to say i was wrong - install didn't start at boot up.. What did i do wrong? is there a way to install fedora from the iso files that are on my hard drive while i have rh9 booted and running? Can install fedora from the command line at boot up, and if so can you point me to some instructions how. Or, can you suggestion an easy solution.

 

I'm running RH9 now, and would like to update to fedora2, so any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks,

John

ok first of all go here and download that.

 

 

Step 2: install the RPM

 

As root do this:-

 

rpm -ivh bla.rpm as per below

 

 



Code:
[root@localhost downloads]# rpm -ivh gdesklets-0.26.2-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm
warning: gdesklets-0.26.2-1.1.fc2.dag.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
  1:gdesklets              ########################################### [100%]
[root@localhost downloads]#




 

 

Step 3: get and install a SENSOR

 

now we are going to install the 'goodweather' sensor, it displays the weather forecast Smile

 

get it here

 

Once downloaded type this as a normal user:-

 



Code:
bunzip2 GoodWeather-0.4.tar.bz2
tar xvf GoodWeather-0.4.tar
cd GoodWeather




 

followed by

 



Code:
./Install_GoodWeather_Sensor.bin




 

You should see a window popup saying

 

'The Sensor has been installed sucessfully. gDesklets is now able to use it'

 

step 4: show the Sensor !

 

ok now we have to 'tell' gDesklets to show the sensor we downloaded and installed. Lets find out where it is with

 



Code:
pwd




 

as per below

 

Quote:[anyweb@localhost GoodWeather]$ pwd/home/anyweb/downloads/GoodWeather

[anyweb@localhost GoodWeather]$ ls

 

 

gfx  GoodWeather.display  INSTALL  Install_GoodWeather_Sensor.bin  README

[anyweb@localhost GoodWeather]$
 

now we know where it is let's tell gDesklets to 'run' it by typing

 

 

 



Code:
nyweb@localhost GoodWeather]$ gdesklets GoodWeather.display




 

Ok, now click on the 'redhat' , followed by Accessories, and then gDesklets.

 

you will notice that your mouse cursor changes and that you now have new powers !

 

have fun ;-)
