Linux Anybody?

[Guest Leviticus]

start by reading some how-to's from http://www.tldp.org

 

more application info from soureforge.net and of course www.linux.org

bro, baka .rpm not .rmp

 

in a pinch you could install it using the command rpm -ivh rpmfilename.rpm

I have been downloading distros the whole week and ang gusto ko install is Fedora Core 4. Problem is every time I burn an ISO panay bad disc pagdating sa test. I have fedora core 1 already but there are some applications (raw) that requires fedora 3 or higher.

 

anyone out there who has a working DVD installer of Fedora core 4?

 

wala ako DVD burner kasi kaya request/buy ako ng copy if anyone has one.

 

thanks...

The softwares installed on the Live CD depends on the maker of the said CD. RTFM so to speak...also, softwares for your Live CD can either be found on-site or compiled from source (again depending on your distro or CD... ). Good luck on Linux!!!

 

Now I have a question regarding Linux or rather ALSA in Linux...I downloaded the latest kernel source 2.6.13.2 and have already compiled and recompiled it a few times...about 8 times in the past 2 days I believe (for a Linux newbie such as myself, that's quite a nice number... :cool: )...now my question is, HOW DO I GET ALSA SUPPORT ON THIS THING?!?!?! I have already enabled the ALSA support as module, and again as built-into the kernel and have enabled and disabled this and that but all I get when I run the test application of Point2Play is that ALSA is either not supported or not configured properly on my BIOS!!! I already compiled version 2.6.12.2 earlier and I remember that I was successful in enabling ALSA support (or at least get it recognized by the P2P app...) but now the solution avoids me...can anyone help?

so far wala ako prob with alsa, my 24/7 linux box at home also serves as my jukebox. you must have forgotten to compile a driver for your sound card. not really sure if this is required, it's just what i normally do -- compile the driver available for every hardware i have.

i usually skip the tests, see if you can install them. i'll be willing to give you a burnt DVD if you can drop by the libis area, pwede din siguro sa parañaque (dun ako nakatira e). i'll be downloading the iso just in case. i don't personally use redhat anymore

Try nero. I was able to burn my FreeBSD, RedHat 9, and Solaris for x86 without any hassle.

My Linux install on my second computer is a SLAX HD Real Install (that means the uncompressed SlackWare Linux variant...) with a few things added or rather updated by myself. (I just love compiling new programs...the lines are more entertaining to watch than the standard Windows installation progress bar...) Anyway, everythings running quite nicely now as I've installed both Wine and Cedega for my Windows apps to work. Never experienced a problem (yet...) although KDE seems to go on a crash with a signal 11 or something everytime I log-off...not that it's a problem since it continues to shut down KDE Desktop after a few moments... :headsetsmiley:

Hi guys.

 

Im just waiting for my copy of Bayanihan installer; to be delivered.

 

iv been scanning the net for other distros and came upon ReactOS (http://www.reactos.org/xhtml/en/index.html).

 

has anyone used this before? medyo tinatamad na kasi ako ng kakainstall ng mga distros, and I would like to stick with fedora muna with my second computer.

Entering my third week in learning and reading about Linux.

 

grabe... why in the world kasi that instructions always center around the terminal console eh meron namang GUI?!?

 

hirap tuloy!

[rpgfan]

Because the GUI in Linux is only secondary. The CLI (Command Line Interface) or terminal is the primary means of interacting with Linux. It's the way to truly know what goes on in your Linux system.

once you get to know the real power of the console, you'll be ready to dish out the gui

 

anyone loved to browse the web with lynx? i hate it

[cruesome]

for starters out there i think you could use some help from the DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO. pdf version is also available fro the linux documentation project site

For me the CLI is the powerful UI for driving the penguin.

Help with regards to Apache web server

 

1. Ive got the web surver running in my linux box already (Apache2; ubuntu). I can access the index.html if I type the aliases or the loopback ip in MY browser.

 

my problem is that I can't access the index.html file in the other computers on my local network.

 

I have looked in the config files already but to no avail. maybe Im missing something?

 

do I need to have SAMBA?

 

2. my internet/network settings were created by automatic DHCP. If I try to do a static IP protocol (where I type in 192.168.0.1 in the field for IP) and the gateway address is typed, why do I loose my internet access?

 

help please :cry:

Hi,

 

For Item 1: You may need to configure a DNS server for your network to properly broadcast the IP adrress-to-machine name mapping of your new apache web server. Another solution would be to edit the /etc/hosts file of your web server and enter the ip-to-machine name of your new web server, but be sure to also update the hosts files of your user PCs.

 

For Item 2: Check the configuration file of your DHCP server, maybe the 192.168.0.1 is allocated for a specific machine bound by its MAC address. You may need to assign a different address if this is the case.
