Xen is enabled for experimentation purposes, but i've turned it off on chkconfig. I haven't been able to test on a non-Xen kernel as this is the only linux desktop I have.

I just installed Ubuntu using Wubi. I got Wine installed very easily and mirc was a breeze after that. However, I cannot install Counter-Strike: Source from my cd rom. The first disc is a breeze, but in order to get to do disc 2, I have to use a "wine eject" command and then the installer will not see disc 2, even if it's in the drive and mounted. Ideas?

Hey teapot! Thanks a lot for the help. After enabling the USB through my bios, I was able to install Ubuntu through the safe graphics mode. Now I have two more problems that I hope you can help me with. 1. I'm not able to connect to my wireless network. The computer is detecting the networks, so I don't think it's a problem with the wireless card. When I click on my own network, it asks me to enter my network password. When I enter the password and click connect, it tries to connect but then fails. I tried this on all three security settings (WEP 128-bit, WEP 64/128-bit Hex, WEP 64/128-bit ASCII)... all gave the same result. Any idea how I might be able to get around this? 2. I can't increase the resolution. I think this is because I can't enable the graphics driver. Every time I go to Desktop Settings, it asks me to restart so that the graphics card can be enabled. However, after restarting, the graphics card is still not enabled. I have an nVidia GEForce 6800 GS. Thank you, again, for making my transition to Ubuntu easier

urbster1 posted:Nope. I have no idea what the problem is. Beryl starts to load when I select it from beryl manager, the window decorations disappear for a minute, then beryl crashes and loads KWin and I get the error message "The Composite Manager crashed twice within a minute and is therefore disabled for this session." It looks like you have KDE composite manager enabled, so Beryl conflicts with it. Disable window translucency support in KDE control center for window behavior -- Beryl will do it by itself anyway.

I don't know if nvidia support will automatically configure resolution, you may have to add it manually, however first make sure that it is actually running with "nvidia" and not "nv" or "vesa" driver (can be seen in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file).

You can just install a non-Xen kernel, and choose it on boot in GRUB menu. Multiple kernels can easily coexist on the same system.

That's a Ralink card, I had that problem, too (and I am posting through it right now). Network Manager for some reason does not support it, so you need to install Ralink-specific RutilT. I don't see it packaged for Ubuntu, so you will have to compile it. 1. Install build-essential package: code:Edit: you will have to also install libgtk2.0-dev package. 2. Download http://cbbk.free.fr/bonrom/?download=RutilTv0.15.tar.gz 3. In directory with tar file run: code:5. If you want it to run automatically after login, add "rutilt" to the session in session manager. teapot fucked around with this message at 08:25 on Jul 31, 2007 |

Search hates me and not sure how to search for this... I will be intentionally generic since 1) I'm not too good with nix administration 2) it's not by box to administer (I'm a developer). One of the developers in our group keeps creating files with code:code:Edit: sorry it's a SunOS cms01-dc1 5.9 Generic_118558-39 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire Edit2: An admin coworker suggest that we sticky the group of our working directory using chmod g+s <dir>, which worked, but I still feel weird about it since we're not solving the original problem of his group writing incorrectly.

Hey, I'm a complete linux noob, but I've had to deal with it a lot lately at this internship I'm doing. Today I was trying to install pygame, but the package installer says 'error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python' I'm pretty certain that I have the latest version of python installed, so I don't know why I would be getting that error. On a related note, I don't think I have all the dependencies for pygame (a bunch of sdl stuff, I don't really know whats going on), but I can't find a (relatively) easy way to figure out what they are and install them. so uh...please help me

I'm sure this question has been asked a great deal, but didn't find it while skimming the previous pages. How does a novice go about selecting a Linux distro? I have experience working with Solaris, Redhat (pre-Fedora), Fedora, Debian and Knoppix but don't really see any major strengths or weaknesses between them as a novice user(save Knoppix, which has more of a niche purpose). Also, what is a good small, bootable distro? I'm looking for something Knoppix-like that I can put on an iPod or thumbdrive.

Grigori Rasputin posted:I'm sure this question has been asked a great deal, but didn't find it while skimming the previous pages. How does a novice go about selecting a Linux distro? DSL is among the smallest and looks, feels, and works great. Puppy is another up-and-coming one around the same size that's geared more towards turn on, turn off browsing. Puppy is an absolute pain in the rear end to install though and DSL is a little more stable. Fluxbuntu is also looking good, although it's much bigger than DSL or Puppy. I'm going to piggyback on your first question with my own: I'm a CS student who wants to get familiarized with Linux for development, education, tinkering and such. I'm running OSX/Debian 4.0 on my Macbook, but Linux Mint caught my eye for some reason. I'd very much like to combine the simple usability and media support of OSX for day-to-day tasks and the base Debian system of Ubuntu. Wiping the partitions and dedicating the Macbook to Linux Mint, is this advisable? Or is there a better distro out there for an OSX/Linux fusion? Yes, I'm aware OSX is built on BSD. Should I just forget this pipe dream and keep going with my setup? Big Big Moon fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Jul 31, 2007 |

Should I just forget this pipe dream and keep going with my setup? I am not familiar with Linux Mint, however it looks like Ubuntu is doing a pretty good job keeping up with the progress in desktop capabilities and using them in its configuration -- I guess, Mint may be slightly ahead ot it. Debian Stable is great for servers, especially after the relatively recent switchover from Sarge to Etch, however only Unstable really tracks recent Gnome and KDE updates, and neither is doing any distro-specific customizations beyond providing a consistent environment. I am probably a wrong person to ask about OSX-like desktop on Linux because personally I use Ubuntu with its default Gnome desktop modified in the very opposite direction as I have posted in http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2559269 This is my idea of a usable Linux desktop, however I guess, not many OSX users would like it. teapot fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Aug 1, 2007 |

teapot posted:Hey teapot... I have some updates. I had two major problems: my graphics card and my wireless card. Here's where I stand with both issues. 1. Wireless Card: I typed sudo apt-get install build-essential and got an error message which told me that the build-essential package couldn't be found. Then I tried to install libgtk2.0-dev... I got another message which told me to try libgtk2.0-bin instead, so I did... I ended up getting another message which told me that libgtk2.0-bin was up to date. I didn't go any further than that since nothing worked up until this point. What can I do next? 2. Graphics Card: Here is a copy of my xorg.conf file. quote:Section "Files" I hope this helps you out.

Turkish Hijinks posted:Hey teapot... I have some updates. I had two major problems: my graphics card and my wireless card. Here's where I stand with both issues. Given that the load dri line is not removed or commented out it would appear you have not loaded the Nvidia binary driver. To do this you could use a helpful script like easyubuntu: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/overview.html Specifics like what resolution you want to run at would help figure out the how exactly to edit the xorg.conf if the nvidia driver app does not do what you want exactly. This would just be an easy way to get this sorted out without much messing around. At least I believe the standard interface to the driver is included in the easyubuntu package. Hope this helps slightly.

I am starting to hate Plesk on my server, and since I'm going to rebuild the whole thing I might as well reconsider my apache/mod_php/mysql setup. I was looking at alternatives such as Resin and lighttpd. What is my best option? The Java implementation of PHP in Resin has some pretty convincing performance claims.

I'm looking into a way of restricting the amount of resources a webuser can use up in the way of php/perl/httdp processes. Mostly to lessen the effect of a user never updating joomla and getting buttfucked by a script kiddie starting up a ddos. I've looked at PAM (pam_limits) and mod_perl so far, but it doesn't seem like pam_limits allows a way to use partial wildcards ie: code:mod_perl however seems to restrict itself to apache and apache children, unless I'm mistaken? Can anyone else suggest a module/utility that would accomplish this? Furd_Terguson posted:
