Comments:
<0> lol
<1> *disalbled* :)
<2> overshard: okay, that's normal, i'm told ... you can disable beagle, or just wait till it settles down ... it's indexing what you have
<0> atheros was one of the first with open source drivers
<3> felipec: what bus?
<2> Spaceknarf: the font problem?
<4> felipec, ask people in here :) I recommend intel pro wireless 2200 based wireless cards
<0> no
<2> what problem?
<4> I have one, the drivers are rock solid, no problems...works with network-manager etc
<0> i can't get macromedia flash to install into firefox
<5> AntonTakk: I prefer pcmcia (cardbus), but usb is ok
<1> I have no clue why everyone is having problems with macromedia stuff i have flash and things installed on all my FC5 computers and it works fine just by doing the Install Missing Plugin
<2> Spaceknarf: http://macromedia.mplug.org/
<3> felipec: look up the cards supported by pcmcia-cs
<4> overshard, same
<0> JohnRobert, my atheros worked perfectly in ubuntu
<2> Spaceknarf: install that yum repo, then yum install flash-plugin
<0> and it is said to work in fc4
<0> anything else i don't know
<4> I think people expect it to be difficult or yum install this, yum install that :p
<6> my fedoracore book does not tell me how to launch the Browse Trash application, anyone know ?
<1> Harms, now that that problem is solved... know why rsync is hanging up on large directory transfers and how to fix that ;)
<2> RadSurfer: double click the bin on your desktop
<6> Can I type type a special folder into Nautilus ?
<4> double click the trash icon on your desktop RadSurfer
<6> I wish to know WHAT the application is and its options that does it please.
<2> RadSurfer: yes, trash:
<7> ok, the last two remaining problems are with having two monitors but not having them show exactly the same with (with a radeon 9000pro) and the fact that I can't get Enemy Territory to work (I have it installed, thanks to chmod or whatever someone told me to do)
<5> AntonTakk: yeah, I don't trust it that much, my card is supposed to have a stable driver, and it was in my home (kinda), but now that I moved it doesn't work and I got no answer from the devs
<2> RadSurfer: it is nautilus
<6> I have to learn about these <paths>: thingies.
<8> Hi
<2> RadSurfer: nah, just click your way around, no point in learning the path: thingies
<6> can I get a list somewhere?
<6> Wants to get deeper :)
<4> you want to hack on it?
<1> Anyone know why Rsync possibly hangs when i try to do large directory syncs... it just stops and doesn't do anything else after it is finished gathering the info
<0> Harms, that website actually worked
<0> thanks
<0> now almost everything works :)
<2> RadSurfer: what's the point of an advanced GUI like gnome if everyone seeks out the underlying complexity anyway?
<0> just the wifi and hibernation is left
<0> but i can live without them
<0> good
<1> Spaceknarf, what kinda wifi card you have?
<0> lol
<0> atheros
<5> JohnRobert: ipw2200 are mostly internal?
<1> Spaceknarf, I got my wifi card to run just fine... you try ndiswrapper?
<2> my wifi card has a driver in the mainline kernel, i need to do -nothing- to get it to work :-D
<0> user bubu1uk told me that he had the exact same problem as i had
<0> iwconfig tells me that the card is on ath0
<0> while ifconfig tells me it is on wifi0
<0> there's the problem
<6> Yippee! learning all sorts of things
<0> in fc4 it worked
<0> so i'll wait for updates for fc5 i guess
<1> I did about 4 hours of research on getting ndiswrapper to work correctly but after that i can get it to work just fine on almost any comp lol
<0> overshard, do you think ndiswrapper would really solve my problem?
<4> RadSurfer, well done for getting a book! you'll find people are far more willing to help you as you've helped yourself a bit
<1> Spaceknarf, ya it probably would... i could tell you how to install it a step at a time cause it can be a pain if not done correctly
<0> RadSurfer, why not try LinuxFromScratch ;)
<9> Spaceknarf, what wireless card
<0> atheros
<6> Finding your way around is the important thing.
<6> and I like purging the web cache occasionally, manually.
<0> it uses the madwifi drivers
<9> but which one
<9> lets take this from stating point
<9> i know you downloaded madwifi from livna
<1> Spaceknarf, download ndiswrapper... put your drivers in with the inf file... go to /etc/sysconfig/ copy ifcfg-eth0 and turn it into ifcfg-wlan0
<9> what have you done since
<0> RadSurfer: see www.linuxfromscratch.org
<0> that will really teach you how linux works
<6> Okie
<9> Spaceknarf, that all was for you
<1> Spaceknarf, then go into gui... System > Administration > Network
<1> Spaceknarf, and set up the wlan0 from there
<0> Southern_Gentlem, i know
<0> i'm trying to follow it
<9> RadSurfer, that is one of the best things for you to read
<10> Spaceknarf: this for madwifi http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/installing-madwifi-using-yum-and-livna/
<6> 'k
<0> Sonar_Guy, i have madwifi setup i guess
<10> Spaceknarf: this for ndiswrapper http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/installing-ndiswrapper
<4> RadSurfer, linuxfromscratch is something you should think long and hard about before doing.
<10> Those tutorials walk you throught most of it.
<6> can I find a PDF of this !! I hope I hope
<4> as it's a long process to get a running system working, and when you do, updating it could be difficult.
<6> never mind :)
<0> hehe
<4> up to you of course
<0> RadSurfer, or just slackware
<4> most wouldn't recommend it
<2> only people with a couple of years of linux experience should use linuxfromscratch
<4> or slackware
<2> absolutely no one should use slackware
<0> overshard, you're going too fast
<4> fedora core 5 is a fine place to start using linux
<11> how do I force logrotate to check everything
<9> hello SG
<4> and you can easily learn many aspects of linux using it
<10> hola SG!!
<1> Spaceknarf, well tell me when you have your drivers for windows for you card and when you have ndiswrapper and we will go from there ;)
<5> that's not exactly true... I tried LFS when I had only months of using Linux
<5> RadSurfer: LFS is great if what you want is to learn
<0> eh
<6> There is not PDF file anymore... got rerouted to a News page
<0> i have installed madwifi and ndiswrapper packages
<0> now what do i do
<1> I've used most distros of linux and find Fedora to be most well rounded... it seems to be good for just about everything
<1> Spaceknarf, Ok now that you go that you install ndiswrapper yet?
<9> Spaceknarf, did you do what Sonar_Guy just pointed you to
<12> Hello - Has anyone else had the --startxonboot flag kill their kickstart installs?
<0> Southern_Gentlem, no i haven't
<9> Spaceknarf, do that
<10> lol
<0> can't follow two guides at a time...
<9> you may not need the ndiswrapper
<1> Spaceknarf, minus well do his first lol
<0> hm
<0> ok :)
<9> so follow the madwifi one first
<0> ok
<0> i will
<1> ya ndiswrapper is a last resort kinda thing... i have never had ndiswrapper fail me yet though lol
<0> is it a problem to leave ndiswrapper installed?
<9> glad all my wireless cards are ipw220
<9> glad all my wireless cards are ipw2200
<12> Southern_Gentlem: I figured out the problem with my kickstart. It's the xconfig statement - when the initial setup attempts to probe the video card the installer fails.
<2> SG, are those drivers in the mainline kernel?
<1> Spaceknarf, na no problem at all but it is hard to configure at times if you don't know what the **** you are doing
<5> Southern_Gentlem: does ipw2200 has good linux support?
<9> Harms ipw2200 fireware is in livna
<0> ok
<2> SG, i was referring to drivers ... good to know which wifi chipsets have drivers in the stock kernel, and which don't.
<0> well i need to reboot
<1> windows is stupid... it can't even use rsync properly lol
<0> brb
<7> good news, the CD burned perfectly, every track works
<2> DieMonkeys: serpentine?
<7> gnomebaker
<2> ok
<10> Harms: bcw43xx shold be supported in the next kernel release.
<9> Harms the driver is in the kernel just have to update the firmware
<7> the problem was that I couldn't burn CDs unless I was root, and by becoming root in the terminal and launching gnomebaker directly from there I was able to use the burner
<2> okay, but why isn't the atheros drivers in mainline?
<2> aren't they stable?
