<0> What is F-spot
<1> F-Spot is a digital media (mostly photos) app that looks pretty cool, my wife uses it more than I do to tell the truth
<0> By the way I just want to say thanks Bob for leading me here.
<1> No problem
<1> glad to help
<0> My thing is I want to get program for Fedora Core 4
<1> knowing what programs you want wil dictate where you look
<0> I know that
<0> I was just wondering where was good place
<0> I got the source for xine
<1> base(Core), extras and livna are the repos most use
<0> and it said I did not have the right gcc
<0> and it was the newest one
<1> xine is available from livna
<0> and I was lost as to why it did not find gcc it could use
<1> no need to compile
<0> livna can't have everythign
<0> that why I wanted to learn to compile
<0> so I could get the newest stuff
<1> tarelerulz: compiling on fedora is an easy way to end up with a broken sstem
<0> oh really
<1> tarelerulz: if you want to compile run Gentoo or slack IMO
<1> tarelerulz: if you want things to "just work" run Fedora
<0> so far
<0> it is all I have really used
<0> I installed SUSE
<0> and it was ok
<0> could not find anything good for it
<0> So I came back to Fedora Core 4
<1> SuSE is a fine distro, it has some "issues" like YaST that i did not care for
<0> So far once I found the right repositories
<1> Fedora is "Home" for me, has been for years
<0> I have been good
<0> I must say this is cool
<0> I could not seem to get irc working
<0> any other time
<0> beside now
<1> Should that be a marketing point for us? "Run Fedora IRC Works!"
<0> haha
<1> hehehe
<0> With IRC
<0> I don't know much about it
<0> with gaim it seem to just work
<1> I use xchat2, I have not used gaim in a couple years. Glad it is working for you.
<0> I tried to use the irc client that came with SUSE and I got can not send to chennel
<0> me to
<0> I have wanted to get into a room like this for sometime
<0> For the distro I am useing
<0> so I could ask others about stuff
<1> tarelerulz: http://fedorasolved.org/ has a lot of multimedia solutions that you might be interested in checking out
<0> one of my big thing was getting to read my media over my network
<0> I could find my media
<2> anyone know how to fix this?
<2> [root@tpol wireless]# iwconfig eth1
<2> eth1 un***ociated ESSID:off/any
<2> "un***ociated"
<2> even tho the driver/firmware is apparently working
<1> kreg_work: try ***iging an ESSID for it to connect to
<2> ya tried that
<2> iwlist did show the accesspoint
<2> so i know the radio did turn on
<2> *shrug*
<2> never seen "un***ocaiated" . first time for everything
<1> kreg_work: I think that means it is not attempting to connect to an available access point
<2> think of anything to try?
<1> kreg_work: so I am thinkig that if you tell it what AP to try and connect to it will then show that ESSID in that area
<2> iwlist scan eth1 did show my accesspoint
<1> You said that
<1> and I said what?
<2> and i did a 'iwconfig iwconfig eth1 essid iceburg
<2> which was the name that showed up for my access point
<1> kreg_work: have you tried using system-config-network" to configure the wireless settings for your card?
<2> wouldn't know how. gui's are too complicated
<1> there is a marketing point "Run Fedora: our gui's are not too complicated"
<1> * For most
<2> seriously , i did look at it, and i just not sure what it was trying to tell me
<1> others wear velcro shoes
<2> BobJensen, ok configured it with the gui
<2> now ifup eth1 says no link. check cable
<2> check cable?
<2> it's wireless it says tho
<2> i suppose i could tap the air around it
<1> did you save the setting in the gui?
<1> try "service network restart"
<1> ***uming you set the card to be started with the network
<2> ya i gave it a shot
<2> no go
<2> ya heh heh
<2> ipw2200 btw
<1> kreg_work: and youpicked up the firmware?
<2> ya i just used livna for that
<2> it's sittin in /lib/firmware
<2> i don't think eth1 would work without it
<2> so it's a safe bet the module and fireware are taken care of since i even managed to get the radio to pickup the essid of my ap
<2> but i don't know how to tell it to specifically go to that ap like you said, ***uming it's not
<3> Need help on Grub. I have multiple OS. What should I put on root (?, ?)? Suse root( hd1, 4). Fedora root(hd1, 2)
<2> i think 'iwconfig eth1 essid iceburg' does that tho
<1> I do not know this card personally, however Sonar_Guy has one http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/ipw2x00-yum-livna/
<2> BobJensen, ya. long past those steps
<1> kreg_work: and was http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/#issues any help?
<2> lookiin
<4> kreg_work: Are you sure it's eth1? The last time i used FC5 on this machine, udev had some problems with ipw2200 and named it dev1234 and stuff like that. eth1 appeared as a wireless connection, but the real device would be something like dev1678, could be it's fixed now though
<2> JonJ hmm that's something i'm not certain of
<2> are you saying try iwlist de1234 scan ?
<5> hmmm so I redownloaded the dvd iso of 5 and am in the midst of burning it at the slowest speed. Can someone tell me why I haven't been able to see the fedora logo when installing? or why I can't get past picking my keyboard type?
<4> Well, something like that. I don't remember the details, it was one of the reasons I put SUSE on this one, the GUI would sometimes pick up the right dev name, and then I could use the command line to get it up
<5> Could it be my usb keyboard causing it?
<2> JonJ i highly doubht it. I "successfully" scan my ap with "iwlist eth1 scan"
<2> but it says "un***ociated"
<2> i've never seen is say that
<2> well
<2> never seen a wireless nic say that
<4> kreg_work: I've seen, but that was when I had a button that had to activate the wireless connection.
<4> *seen it
<4> Which isn't the case here, since you can scan with iwlist
<2> ok
<2> well
<2> isn't is safe too ***ume the kernel is talking to my wireless card perfect fine if i can iwlist it?
<6> Can somebody do me a favour and DCC me the latest nVidia GF .run please? The nvidia site/my ISP is broken :(
<7> have you tried to download using tor/privoxy http proxy ? ^.-
<6> I figured this way would be quicker and less painful :P
<1> Flash13: you should read http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/3rd-pty-video/ and http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/nvidia-yum-livna/
<8> where does the yum get it default repositories: livna or RPMforge?
<1> CRASH69: neither
<1> CRASH69: by default on base(Core), updates and Extras are nabled
<1> errr
<1> CRASH69: by default only base(Core), updates and Extras are enabled
<8> so wich one would you recommend?
<6> BobJensen, the lvna package didn't work last time I tried, I'll give it a go though
<9> f~Flash13: remove the previous install of lvna package drivers
<9> and download the official driver
<9> www.nvidia.com
<9> make your own kmod :)
<1> CRASH69: Livna is the only repo I add to my desktop configs
<6> I have no idea what a kmod is, so I'll try this first ;)
<7> Flash13, http://gentoo-distfiles.mirrors.tds.net/distfiles/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1.run a nice mirror ;)
<0> Do any of you know much about writing to ntfs ?
<9> kmod == kernel mod == driver :)
<7> tarelerulz, try fuse + ntfsmount :)
<7> o fuse + captivefs ^.- ....
<6> Thanks a bunch Kheru :) That looks about right
<8> Flash13, read this http://fedorasolved.org/video
<7> Flash13, ... google r0x ;)
<1> tarelerulz: http://fedorasolved.org/post-install-solutions/ntfs/
<6> Kheru, didn't know the exact file name :( I did try for a good half an hour though :D
<6> Back after this short init 3 =)
<1> Some people never learn
<0> Thanks a lot bob
<1> tarelerulz: we will be taking donations soon
<7> BobJensen, well, at every kernel release must SOMEONE rebuild kmod-ntfs, right ?
