Linux Anybody?


Recommended Posts

guys, info naman about bunzip2? kasi im trying to bunzip yung na-download ko then yung ending niya is .tar.bz2.tar, if im using bunzip2 filename.tar.bz2 is cannot open daw yung file or directory is empty. same as if i use bunzip2 filaname.tar.bz2.tar, ganun din. im using rh9, hindi kasi ako maka-connect sa internet and im using lucent 20A usb modem.

 

 

 

Try to check the real file type first. Run "file filaname.tar.bz2.tar"

 

If tar then try muna "tar -xvf filaname.tar.bz2.tar"

 

if bzip2 file then rename it to "filaname.tar.bz2" then run "bunzip2 filaname.tar.bz2"

I really just need assistance Ü

 

So I finally decided to reinstall FC4 test 3 (not my first time; i've done RH7, 9, FC 1, 2 before with no issues), going with the defaults; everything finished:

 

[1] On previous releases, I would edit /etc/X11/XF86Config to specify my monitor's exact horizontal/vertical refresh rate constraints. This file does not seem to exist in FC4 (or probably FC3 as well, but I've never gotten my hands on it). I am now left with a measly 800/600 resolution, which is not very nice on a 17-inch screen

 

[2] I made sure i installed the boot loader in the 1st sector of the boot partition, but still i get this 3-sec. pre-boot loader screen before the GRUB/MSFT boot loader comes up. i'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug.

 

Test bed machine: 1.6 GHz P4 n.wood, 256MB-DDR, Radeon 7000, multi-boot with 2000/XP MCE

 

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and regards all.

 

1. You might be using xorg instead XFree86.. look for /etc/X11/xorg.conf... it uses the same syntax as XF86Config

 

2. Some newer BIOSes have a delay before booting hard disks or cdroms

 

Good luck with Linux

[1] I have no idea... just replying to number [2]...

 

[2] Maybe the loader screen was installed on the Master Boot Record while the GRUB/MSFT loader is in the active partition's boot record. If so, you'll need to overwrite the MBR with something depending on your needs. You could use the fdisk/mbr option if you have a bootable diskette or try the recovery console of Windows XP CDROM to replace the MBR. That should clear up the pre-loader screen and go straight to the loader you installed on the active partition. *

Guest k....
pahabol na questions..

naka dual boot ba yun box mo? and...

what does the pre boot loader screen look like?

baka kasi new feature lang pala ng grub yun.

thanks! <code>/etc/X11/xorg.conf</code> nga heheh got it to 1024x768 now

 

So there's the BIOS, tapos "Starting GRUB2", then a screen would say something like "Starting Other in 3 secs, press any key to show the menu" (I made 'Other' as opposed to 'Fedora Core' the default boot option during the install process) I'm more than certain I chose not to install GRUB on the MBR, but it still insists on doing so. Haay. Looks like the only way out here is fixmbr, but that would screw up GRUB. AMAP I stick with the Microsoft boot loader as I do a lot of Windows tweaking/repairs. This new GRUB was not a problem with olsdwer versions of FC though. Oh well.

 

BTW, it's official that Macs will be running on Intel starting mid-2006! 'Nother reason to start saving up for that Mac mini heheh

I do have one installed in me another pc. it works fine. For those who are somehow green about it, it just needs a bit of navigation.

And for my other pc, i have windows multiple boots. No problems also maybe a few but fixable...

No offense just want to clarify "Microsoft A+ Certified" Is there a such cerification in Microsoft? Maybe you're pertaining to MCP Microsoft Certified Professional OR CompTIA A+ Certification. B)

Hello geeks! Need your help. Anyone here knows hardware overlay for ATI video cards? Just starting out tinkering with direct access to video card memory for faster graphics rendering in linux. HALP!

 

i also use an ati video card. i compiled into the kernel ati radeon display support and used the driver as detected by x. can't really tell if i'm pulling maximum performance out of my video card, not a gamer.
