<0> btw I HOPE you are not using x as root
<1> I wana know if I can rmdir safely cs when I loggin I see this line where it says that couldn't rm /var/run/cups/certs` is a directory now someone suggested not to remove it
<2> not, no X
<2> this is all ssh
<2> im trynna add neil to sudo
<3> any one know how to modify user privlages?? ... for some reason i cant write or access files in my home Directory
<2> would that work?
<0> calibretto:
<1> if I wont how can I stop rm command to stop trying removing it everytime I run fedora
<0> chown -hR username /home/username
<0> do that as root
<3> ok
<2> me?
<0> no neil
<0> At the boot screen hit "e", select the line with "kernel" on it, hit "e" again, and add "single" to the end of the line. Press enter and then boot to boot to a shell. From there you can run p***wd and change the root p***word.
<2> but wouldnt i still get the same error as now?
<2> that there was an auth failure?
<1> anyone guys?
<0> do it neil
<0> _stever: what
<2> ok
<1> I wana know if I can rmdir safely cs when I loggin I see this line where it says that couldn't rm /var/run/cups/certs` is a directory now someone suggested not to remove it
<1> if I wont how can I stop rm command to stop trying removing it everytime I run fedora
<2> ill brb
<2> imma add single to the end of the line and TRY TO change p***wd
<0> rm -rf /var/spool/cups/certs
<0> this is the right way to do it
<0> fedora tries to remove a directory but it issues rm without -rf
<1> nagulator you mean it's safe to remove it?
<0> i hav3e had the same problem after an update
<0> well i did remove it
<1> same folder
<1> certs
<0> then the only thing i did was to reinstall cups just in case, but everything worked without resintalling cups
<0> i think this is a cups related issue, people from other distros have been asking this
<1> nagulator ok thanks
<0> i hope it helps you
<4> Fedora Core 5 destroyed my BIOS...help!
<5> where
<0> ?
<5> is the gnome menu editor?
<4> My other computer
<6> DarkDespair55: how exactly does fc5 destroy a bios?
<4> It gets stuck at "IBM" screen....
<0> lol it is impossible for any software do destroy your bios unless you are using the asus bios updater
<5> ah, nvm, found it :P
<7> anyone can guide me on installing fedora through a hard disk?
<4> Well my computer won't boot even from a CD.
<4> It won't go into the BIOS editor
<7> the installation guide missed a few links
<8> DarkDespair55: Didja try resetting the BIOS using the motherboard jumper?
<6> DarkDespair55: i no of know way for fedora to interact directly with your bios
<4> *shrugs* I'm not exactly an expert...
<9> DarkDespair55: we know that
<8> ... Woohoo for diplomacy.
<1> DarkDespair55 what is exactly happening to you?
<4> I've never messed with the hardware of my comp. However, since the BIOS editor won't work after trying to install Fedora...
<4> The install crashed in the middle of the 5th CD.
<4> So I shut down the power
<6> DarkDespair55: as far as you know.. the hardware failed and caused the install to fail.. not the other way around
<7> HELP HELP
<4> No..it was the software....
<6> DarkDespair55: let me stress.. that i can not think of a plausible way for the fedora install to write to the bios
<1> DarkDespair55 it could be a VGA issue
<7> can someone focus on me plzzz?
<6> _stever: ?
<1> DarkDespair55 pls tell us what you use as pc hardware ? do you know this far?
<10> cslhace: begging has little impact
<7> i hv no cdrom n no network.....how do i install fedora????
<8> DarkDespair55: The system should certainly be able to make calls to the BIOS for information, but that shouldn't corrupt the BIOS. Has your system shown any signs of odd instability before?
<2> ok
<2> i tried it
<2> i still got the autherror
<2> nagulator: r u there?
<11> cslhace: you download the iso's to a FAT partition and boot off a usb stick
<7> no usb either
<10> Stalker
<5> cslhace: download the boot ISO, type "linux askmethod", then choose the correct item from the list. it should guide you through the process from there
<4> The other computer is an IBM thinkpad with the preinstalled BIOS.
<2> i added single to the end of the vmlinux line
<2> and i goot a root shell
<11> cslhace: then you boot dos and load the pxe kernel and initrd with loadlin
<5> burn the ISO to a cd btw
<7> i got fc5 ISOs
<7> i burned 6 of the cds
<2> nagulator: hullo
<2> ?
<5> then why do you want to install from a hard drive if you have the install cds?
<8> But you don't have a CD-ROM drive on the target system?
<7> but my new(2nd hand) system has to cdrom
<5> ah
<7> yea
<4> It can't possibly be a hardware problem since XP was fine.
<7> exactly
<2> crap
<2> does anyon else know what to do?
<4> But every Linux build I've tried has messed up.
<1> DarkDespair55 it's not software issue
<1> DarkDespair55 and surely not linux
<2> i need th change the root p***wd
<4> How can it be the hardware
<12> http://www.thinkwiki.org/ - wiki for linux on thinkpads
<2> crap-now he quit
<12> DarkDespair55: what model thinkpad is it?
<2> im half way through what he told me
<2> lol
<2> ok
<4> neil how can I see the model
<6> wwoods: is this some weirdness where the laptop bios is trying to access a protected area on the harddrive?
<2> linuxa: hi
<2> what model?
<2> ok, so basically, my root p***word is messd upo and i cannot change it
<12> Magic8Ball: I dunno, I'm not really an expert on thinkpads
<4> I have no clue. Where can I find out.
<2> what should i do now?
<4> Not very new, I can tell you that much.
<4> There's a Windows98 sticker on the back...
<12> DarkDespair55: well, gee. mine says "T43" right under the screen. I dunno.
<2> ohhh crap
<2> i cannot even log into my machine as root
<4> Type 2647
<2> im so overwhelmed
<4> T20
<1> DarkDespair55 is it thinkpad 340
<2> i think ill take a nap to forget all this ****
<2> ok
<2> ill be back later
<4> Says Thinkpad t20
<4> that laptop hates linux
<4> freebsd too :P
<12> neilthereildeil: reboot into single-user mode and use 'p***wd' to change it?
<8> I'm quickly becoming rather fond of Linux myself...
<4> Suse looked awesome until it fllipped my keyboard.
<4> Any way to fix this? I can't use DBAN to wipe the disk since it can't boot from cd either...
<0> wwoods: I have told him so many times this that I will not tell him anymore
<1> DarkDespair55 you have to understand it's not a software problem
<0> boot into single mode is the easiest thing to do
<4> Can you expalin why a bit
<4> nag if you're addressing me I can't boot in any way. The screen freezes and devices freeze.
<4> This happened right after I tried installing Fedora.
<1> DarkDespair55 this dosn't mean it's fedoras fault
<4> I know
<0> you have probably done something there, did you do anything with hardware recently
<4> No. Never messed with hardware.
<1> DarkDespair55 check this site for symptom http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=ibm&lndocid=MIGR-57541
<4> Only thing I did was make "boot from CD" first in the boot order. tested it before the crash
<4> looking
<7> hey
<4> not there
