<0> I know firefox has it's own dns cache, so I tried Konqueror, but that's not working either
<1> Er, hi? If it's all right, I have a few questions... I just installed Fedora and am having trouble with trying to install some software -- mainly, spcxmms, an xmms plugin for playing SPC files.
<2> maybe your etc/hosts line is plain wrong then.
<1> ltconfig can't seem to find my host system type, and I don't know how to find it myself...
<0> Anvil, lol, it's possible I guess, IP host alias, it's pretty easy I reckon!
<0> Anvil, The entries also show up correctly in system-config-network
<0> I've even service network restart 'd just in case...
<1> I'm wondering... how can I find my host system type? And, how can I resolve things with ltconfig? It doesn't seem to want to install anything else either...
<0> Tenebrys, Your host system type? How are you trying to install the packages?
<1> ./configure, make, make install.
<0> Tenebrys, Ok, what do you mean by host system type?
<1> That's just what it says. Things seem to run fine with the ./configure until this... checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized
<0> Tenebrys, Is your system 64 bit?
<0> Tenebrys, Does the app you're trying to install support 64 bit OSs?
<1> Yeah... 64-bit system. Though... perhaps not...
<1> I... guess that would be a problem, yeah.
<0> Tenebrys, Have you seen this page? http://www.xmms.org/plugins.php?details=8
<0> I think they recommend using this instead: http://www.freshports.org/audio/xmms-openspc/
<0> You might get more luck with that if it's being more actively maintained...
<1> Fooling with that stuff now... thanks for the help...
<0> Tenebrys, No worries, good luck
<3> how to turn off ipv6 permanently?
<1> Hmm... okie. Now, I'm looking at this...
<1> http://snesamp-xmms.sourceforge.net/
<4> nanotalk: in a terminal system-config-network
<1> I'm trying to use CVS to get snesamp as it specifies... and getting nowhere. It's just spitting "no route to host"messages at me.
<3> Sonar_Guy, it's not activated in system-config-network, but when I do ifconfig, I still see an ipv6 address
<4> Hmm, no clue then.
<4> nanotalk: you can try this http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc2.html#ipv6
<3> Sonar_Guy, thanks
<4> np
<1> and... ack.
<1> I can't deal with this any longer tonight...
<1> I'll just be heading to bed.
<1> Thanks for the help, though...
<5> anyone know if the new reps have the newest KDE with the secfixes?
<6> hi all, I've a question: is it possible to install Fedora from an USB key?
<7> oh man, check this out: http://www.compuvest.com/Description.jsp;jsessionid=aQi6kMeH4AM5SZzgxV?iid=130897
<7> I wanna buy 3 of these ... and put them all in my server
<8> lestat, as long as you can boot from usb
<6> English`: I can
<6> English`: is there an HOWTO? Moreover, where can I find the images for USB key?
<8> how big is your usb stick?
<6> English`: 256
<8> why do you need to install from usb?
<8> 256M?
<7> heh ...put 2 40 gig drives on each channel, and stripe them (RAID0), and then make a RAID5 array using each channel ... ooh ... 400Gig array, running pretty freaking quickly.
<6> English`: I have a rack server without CDROM
<8> buy a usb cdrom drive
<6> English`: I have to install via USB, or open the case and plug a CDROM reader... but I'd like to install via USB, of course :)
<8> a 256mbstick isnt going to be big enough, maybe with DamnSmallLinux
<9> lestat: do you have another Linux computer available?
<6> Norky: yep
<9> 256MB USB flash device is big enough for the boot iso
<8> how about all the rpms?
<9> lestat: you could boot over the network
<9> lestat: what is the other computer running?
<6> Norky: all Fedora
<9> lestat: install system-config-netboot on the woring computer
<6> installing!
<9> use that, it automates much of the setup for installation of Fedora over the network
<6> ok
<9> presuming your target computer support PXE booting. Any recent machine (made in the last 2 years) should.
<6> but I'm wondering why Fedora doesn't support USB install... is it a precise choice?
<9> I think USB install is perfectly possibly
<9> possible*
<9> have you googled for it?
<6> Norky: a little
<9> google on boot.iso usb flash
<9> http://www.cpqlinux.com/bootable-usb.html will do the trick too
<6> Norky: double thanks!
<10> i cant find the right kernel for my fc 4 ... which one is that ..im opening kernel.org
<9> wamty: what on earth are you trying to do?
<9> wamty: Fedora packages the kernel for you, just use whatever is available via the "yum" command
<11> hi all
<11> I just tried to do a backup of my linux partitions with partimage from 'linux rescue cd' and it said I havr
<11> a file system error detected by e2fsck
<11> how do I correct this
<11> in fedora is there any tools to correct this or detect these errors
<12> as it says, e2fsck is the tool that detected it in the first place. it can also fix errors, to a point.
<11> Juhaz, thanks...so do I just need to do a command like 'e2fsck /dev/hda3' for example
<9> planktonboy: reboot back into Fedora, it shoudl automatically run fsck on any filesystems that need it
<11> ok will try that Norky
<13> hello....
<13> hello , which channel i should join to get help about fedora core installation ? :\
<14> You have trouble installing fedora?
<15> You can ask specific questions here if you want...
<13> uhhh.... im confused with boot loader process
<15> Just choose the defaults, unless you know different
<13> which option should i choose , if i want to replace my old winxp bootloader with GRUB and dual-boot it...
<14> oooh
<14> I dunno
<14> I hate grub
<13> uh...
<14> Ive not dual booted linux in a long time.
<13> :\
<15> Try reading http://www.linuxcompatible.org/Dual_boot_Win_xp_and_Fedora_core_t32552.html
<14> Normally though, with bsd I just install windows frist, then bsd, and then install 'grub' boot loader, and then its all done.
<14> linux will undoubtably be a bigger pain in the arse than that though.
<11> na
<13> uh... thx LLyric , im reading that :)
<11> that didnt work.
<11> i rebooted into fedora and it boots ok
<11> but when I try to run partimage to backup the root partition ie /dev/hda3 it still says I have a filesystem error and asks if I want to continue backing up or cancel
<13> http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/fedora-install-guide-en/fc5/sn-upgrading-bootloader.html
<13> this page confuses me :\
<13> so i choose skip boot loader updating ?
<13> so maybe i will get some third-party bootloader lol
<16> how are all of you liking fedora
<13> i just moved from other... distro...
<13> some distro i used was buggy XD
<14> kbrooks: its bareable, personally I dont like it much, not when there are cleaner alternatives available. But i guess it might be ok for a desktop, dunno...
<0> Ok, my hosts file is not working for any of my browsers (firefox / konqueror / opera)
<13> im going to burn fc5 dvd to dvd-rw :\
<16> jsoftlap: its suppposed to be OK for a desktop
<13> but dvd-rw reads stuff slowly :\
<0> If I try to ping a hostname (eg www.scroogle.org) it uses the correct IP, but when I connect to the site from any browser, it ignores my host file.
<0> Anyone got any suggestions?
<13> ftw !
<14> kbrooks: yeah. well I dunno, I dont use linux as a desktop :| But its not my cup of tea for anything really, but I have to work with it...
<0> kbrooks, I switched from Windoze a while back, and I'm finding it ok
<0> kbrooks, It's a nightmare to configure, you have to get your head round it all, but once it's actually up and running, it's a breeze
<0> kbrooks, Are you coming from a linux background?
<16> chmac: no. i dualboot ubuntu and fedora
<8> anyone know of a freeware iso burner for windows? :) (yes i am away this is fedora)
<16> i am a ubuntu user tho :)
<16> windows -> debian -> ubuntu
<0> English`, I'm sure they mention a freeware app on the download info for fedora, if not fedora, check the info for centos
<0> kbrooks, Ok, I haven't used ubuntu (it's on my list of vmware's to check out) so I can't compare
<11> I am going to try booting into Linux Rescue CD and doing a e2fsck -c /dev/hda3 and see if that does anything
<14> windows NT -> slackware -> debian -> (misc linux distros) freebsd -> netbsd && openbsd && solaris
<0> kbrooks, But versus Windows, expect to get your hands VERY dirty on the config (which is almost an ongoing process) and a breath of fresh air on the user side
<14> meh, it should not be that way...
<14> For me its just x11 config ( 5 minutes or less ), fluxbox key binds, and thats it...
<8> chmac thanks
<0> English`, Or, dare I say it, a quick scroogle for windows xp burn iso reveals... http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm
<16> chmac: i'm not a windows user :-)
<0> kbrooks, Ok, sorry, I thought you'd just converted to ubuntu
<8> chmac, thank you!!!! :)
<0> English`, No sweat, www.scroogle.org is your friend... :)
<14> Anyone familiar with how sftp/scp works as far as the shell it uses goes? Im about to start writing a chroot shell for sftp/scp
<16> chmac: no
<14> And would like some general overview of how/when the shell gets used, rather than wading thru scponly's src
<16> chmac: i didn't say "windows -> fedora -> ubuntu"
<16> chmac: debian was my first distro
<14> kbrooks: did you use windows before you used linux? :)
<16> yes, jsoftlap
<14> Well thats a change from the usual.
<14> you should try windows. its AMAZING.
<11> haha
