<0> im a total linux nub, and am tryin to install fedora core 5 on an old machine..... anyone familar with fc5?
<1> not me sorry
<2> I prolly should not say this... No offence intended... Ah the spam capital of the world.
<1> only played with debian
<0> spam? spam and eggs? =)
<2> my77: Debian sorry but you can only try and ask...
<0> well it starts to load, starts the "anaconda system installer"
<0> probes for video card - finds it, probes for monitor - finds it
<0> attempts to starts native X server - it does
<0> X11TransSocketINETConnect () can't get address for local host :6001: Name or service not known
<0> then i get..
<0> (mini-wm:432): Gtk-Warning **: cannot open display: :1
<0> and thats it
<2> Hmmm
<2> Sound like it is trying to run as root user...
<2> You need to run as a user
<0> it never asks
<2> Hmmm
<2> Did the install allow you to make a user to log in from?
<0> nope
<0> i get a splash screen and it asks if i wanna install the GUI or the command only
<0> i pick GUI and it starts anaconda
<2> Hang on I will check the right cmnd
<2> adduser is the cmnd
<0> where do i type that? i dont get any command prompts
<2> or useradd which needs command line options
<2> At the root prompt
<0> i never get a root promt
<2> Hmmm
<0> and it will let me type stuff now after setup halts - but niether of those commands work
<2> Maybe it would be better to try the install again... When I was learning it took many times to get it right
<0> i did it twice, theres really no steps to screw it up before it gets to where it hangs
<0> im dumbfounded
<2> Other than that I really have no answer sorry.
<2> Will it let you install comand only and then run install sofware to install the gui?
<0> i dunno
<0> lemmie try
<0> installing in "text mode" we'll soon see if it hangs
<2> There are others in here that may be able to help who know fc5.
<2> Most in the US are asleep now.
<0> so far it still looks like the same screen - its loading anaconda now
<0> wow, i got a "welcome to fedora core
<1> my77stang: u know nething about reconfiuring xf86?
<2> Ahhh that sound like that will setup the core system...
<1> I have a bad screen resolution

<10> I was wondering, has anyone had any issues with Enigma mod for Thunderbird?
<1> anyone around?
<2> Yep
<11> Hi all - I've recently moved from XFree86 to xorg and I'
<11> whoops...
<11> am unable to switch VT's as a non-root user (the key presses seem to be p***ed to the active window). Where should I look to solve this?
<12> what os?
<5> operating system is, like, just that, a SYSTEM that lets you OPERATE with your machine. It's NOT a kernel. Linux is a kernel. GNU and GNU/Linux are Operating Systems.
<11> JackOfBlades: Linux 2.6.16 (Debian Unstable)
<12> debian o
<12> gnome or kde ?
<11> JackOfBlades: doesn't matter (it happens with everything)
<12> did you get an error ?
<11> Nope - the keypress seems to get p***ed to the active window...
<12> try to update vim
<12> why u use unstable version?
<11> JackOfBlades: because it's relatively up to date
<12> as you say does not seem so it can be vulnerable to escaladation of user privileges in your situation
<12> major issue
<2> X11 config is under /etc/X11 maybe you can find the config for xorg wm
<2> Keyboard mappings for XF86 are in xf86config or similar maybe you can find the config or xorg whatever
<11> rikki: yeah - they're set to US (like they were prior to the upgrade)
<2> Maybe someone will help you in #linux but be carefull as they are not there for help just a chit chat chan
<2> Sorry hang on...
<2> #nzlinux is the chan
<2> I meant
<11> cheers
<13> Hello, I am having a problem with named
<13> http://www.tenament.com/temp/notauth.txt
<13> If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it
<2> I don't like my chances of helping but I will have a look... I don't run any dns.
<14> What's up awpti?
<2> Braden: You are still no further with the prob you had transfering your zone files?
<13> rikki: Yup
<2> Braden: Maybe you need to upgrade the other end if you can.
<13> Both are the same version
<15> rikki, help me with my windows 3.1 problem! :D
<2> Braden: Looks like this auth-nxdomain yes; switch makes the think do the auth... What happens when you turn it of on both ends?
<2> Wishes: You are joking arn't you?
<16> I've found a lot of different suggestions on this...
<16> taking it apart, cleaning it, let it sit
<16> I spilled tea on my thinkpad key and now it doesn't turn on
<16> what's the best strategy to try and resurrect it
<13> rikki: Ive tried that before to no avail
<16> i was reading about wd40 and a hair dryer
<13> I will try again though
<16> saying its not the water after its dried, but the minerals left over
<2> Luma: Hmmm pull it apart and get some circuit board cleaner... I don't like your chances but.
<17> rikki, hehehe
<2> wd40 is no good... It will leave residue.
<17> no! my problem is that i dont have it :D
<17> actually i probably do have it somewhere about on some hdd thats floating on the floor :/
<17> bbl dinner
<2> wishes. I think I can find a copy. You want me to burn a copy and send?
<2> wishes: I am not 100% sure I have it but. I will check and let you know.
<18> sigh
<2> Hi Blacknet...
<17> rikki, nah its cool
<17> i did however throw out a complete c64 computer, monitor, dot matrix printer & papaer etc, joy sticks, floppy drives, tape drives, right down to the dust covers the other day
<2> Bad wishes... Mind you not much good stuff there for my junk collection.
