<1> slave drives cant be booted
<0> wich is at 40 gb for the moment
<1> if they are set to slave on the drive
<0> well. windows xp is on the master one
<0> it is. just changed the jumper to the right position
<1> then put the mbr on the windows xp partition
<1> then it will work
<0> 'k. im going to try that :) . if it get the options ahead
<1> be careful though
<1> make a mistake and you are ****ed
<1> so....use custom and use your brain!
<0> thank you. i dont got much to loos. since the files ain't been growing yet. just did a clean install . like 2 weeks ago
<0> defualt os followed. like when you turn on the computer, you get this nice display ahead :)
<0> lol. aint no thing i can't handle
<0> linux is my hope though :) . wich is cute and handy for my needs. never really play'd games for hours
<0> it was just the sega megadrive
<0> wich broke through
<0> im geting this ahead " [v] Feodra Core /dev/Volgroup00/Logvol00 "
<0> Other /dev/sda1
<0> should i add anything
<1> why lvm ?
<0> =]
<0> i don't know. im wondering about the same thing
<0> it's new for me
<0> :(
<1> make custom partitions
<1> ext3
<0> 'k
<1> /
<1> for info go to www.redhat.com/docs
<1> check getting started guides
<1> of redhat 9 or rhe4
<0> thank you :)
<0> i'll see what i can do
<0> damnit
<2> fcr5?
<3> Anyone seen any crash problems with FC5, Firefox 1.5.0.1 and Flash? With flash installed, the browser crashes immediately on a site with flash, but works fine uninstalled...
<4> install 1.5.0.2 and see what happens
<3> modern, thanks. Do the standard repos yum uses have firefox 1.5.0.2 yet?
<4> not sure... I run x86-64 and manually installed FF 1.5.0.2 32 bit so I could run flash
<3> i see
<4> Although I do run 1.5.0.1 32 bit and it works fine.
<3> i'm not sure if it crashed before I updated to 1.5.0.1 or not, it seems not .. so maybe that broke it
<3> oh it does work in that ver?
<4> perhaps DL a new flash rpm and see if that works
<4> yeah, it works here
<3> i;ve been getting the 7.0r63 version
<4> not sure what I have ... I will have to check
<3> i'm just going off the version displayed when you go to "about:plugins"
<5> why are the recommended memory requirements double for a x86_64 install of fc5
<4> Shockwave Flash 7.0 r25
<4> 2x as many registers?
<3> modern, that is the version that installed when I let firefox "install" the plugin.
<5> does it use twice as much since the processor uses twice as much adressing
<4> I probably did that
<3> that crashed so i tried doing it the "yum way," same deal
<5> n/m, i guess I sort of answered my own question
<3> damn proprietary software (flash)
<4> I wish they would build a 64 bit version....
<5> does fc5 have a driver for all nvidia cards
<4> yes
<3> nvidia uses a unified driver model, I believe
<3> at least for the geforce line
<2> setting up and configuring your nvidia card on fedora core is ez
<3> it really is
<4> yum install kmod-nvidia livna repo
<5> I have viak8m800 onboard and it does fine except for one movie, I have all the latest divx and xvid installed and I have both xine and mplayer
<3> modern, the only thing is to be sure to allow the "Text Relocation" policy in SELinux
<3> kmod-smp-nvidia if you have smp...
<4> I have selinux set permissive and that seems happy but I did see that posted elsewhere
<2> http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=99285&highlight=nvidia
<5> processor usage doesnt go up to near 99 percent, maybe 60-75
<3> ya, I had to do that. I leave it as "enforcing." SELinux is a big reason i use fedora
<4> http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc5.html#nvidia
<3> hey ...... i wonder if my flash problem is SELinux related/ ,.... eh, I'll check it
<5> its just a movie, why would it have problems
<4> vagrant: it just might be
<5> it sort of has quick short pauses
<3> because your's actually works, and you have permissive .. hm.. worth a shot
<3> Nexus, are you sure its not the problem with the file?
<4> Nexus111: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc5.html#nvidia
<5> I hate the fact that fc5 go ahead and labels everything with fc5 enabled and it says in the install that it would require relabeling of the whole file system if you wanted it disabled and that would take awhile so I left it like it was
<5> for SELinux
<5> that is
<3> it doesn't take that long
<3> not with a good machine
<4> it didn't take 2 minutes here
<3> right, it was about 2min for me
<3> on a core duo
<4> this machine is single core
<3> well setting Permissive didn't solve it. worth a shot though
<4> what about permissions on the file itself
<4> or the plugin
<5> anyone know how to cluster two computers together to run symmetrically or together, you know what I am saying?
<3> the plugin had rwxr-xr-x
<3> so that should be good
<3> Nexus, not my specialty, have you looked at clustering solutions?
<5> oh, by the way, what are the timeframes between fedora releases, like when can I expect FC6 to be around
<3> its definitely possible, lots of people do it. much documentation on it. I've never done it though
<3> Nexus, go to the Fedora projects website. They list the timelines. Is it 18 months?
<3> its very regular schedule
<5> well, all I have to say, compared to all the other releases, fc5 is way different, its the **** in my opinion, very good on memory usage and responsiveness
<4> it has the best tools for running services I have seen. Makes thingas pretty nice
<5> my god, logging in with a xfce4 session, you see no latency
<3> i like it. I think Gnome has been improved a lot too. I ran Gentoo with Gnome and it worked well, but it was such a bitch to get it all up and going.
<4> gentoo takes weeks to get everything right
<3> try months
<5> dont care too much for gnome, not exactly a good desktop for someone learning software development
<3> considering you need time to cool off after every sw instal heh
<4> gnome is way faster in fc5 than say ubuntu breezy... I guess new gnome must be more optimized
<2> kde is faster than both imo
<4> vagrant: you mean drunk time.. hehe
<2> i install kde on a whim and never looked back
<5> and honestly, I have not been able to find a distro that can compare at all with the fedora project
<3> eh, i just Gnome. I don't know that I think its great but its a default for a lot of distros so I try to use it more
<4> I am using KDE right now...
<3> I think Novell's is trying to compete. But I have been an RH user since like 99
<4> normally I don't
<5> xgl is gonna be on this machine once it gets stable
<5> now that is one hell of and innovation for a desktop interface
<5> and=an
<3> ya xgl is pretty interesting
<4> only issues I have with kde right now is that for whatever reason when I use konquerer in super user mode and try to recursively change permissions on a dir I get errors even though sometimes it does it anyway.
<3> i usually don't do any serious directory stuff in the gui
<3> for problems like that
<5> no, never do permissions outside the shell
<3> Nexus, but you should be able to. What modern is describing is a totally valid way to work. The user shouldn't have to worry about that
<4> I am using gentoo and command line too so no biggy
<3> if we want to win over more folks that is =)
<3> ya but the GUI should be robust enough to allow that
<4> it worked fine in fc4
<5> well, fc6 is gonna be the ****, fc5 is like a whole new thing, the rest, 1-4 were pretty much the same
<3> i'm not much of a gui person. i pretty comfortable with the shell , but the gui ... eh I can't even get flash to work consistently .. lol
<4> :-)
<5> vagrant, you got a laptop?
<3> yes
<4> I kinda need this machine to do it all
<3> dell e1705
<4> and it does
<5> thats why
