DVD+RW (but not DVD+R nor any DVD-dash) is a true random write access media and therefore is suitable for housing of an arbitrary file system, e.g. udf, vfat, ext2, etc. This, and this...

I just got a DVD burner on newegg (one day sale $40 with blank DVDs, get em while they are hot!) and it came with 25 free DVD-Rs. The burner itself can read and write both +/-, but does linux have a...

Im a newb, so when i do the FC5 upgrade you guys are saying it can be done with rpm files instead of a fresh install?

Im a student worker for a University IT department (Christopher Newport Univeristy) and we use Campus Manager, and I find it to be quite annoying. The program may be useful, but it has a habit of...

After a long attempt to install Nvidia drivers in FC4, I figured it out!

1. Download the drivers.

2. Update your Kernel and Kernel-dev, and make sure you install all the Gcc related RPMs on...

EUREKA!!!

I yummed the GCC 4 libs off of the FC4 disk one, then export gcc=40 and then ran it and it made me the kernel interface!!

Thanks a lot for the help, you guys have been a lot more...

Did that, still getting install errors. Its saying that:

/usr/src/nv/conftest.sh cc command not found

and that gcc packages which I have set up arent there. Yum is working ok because I have...

Also, Ive looked around about changing gcc settings and it hasnt really worked. Google informs me that this is not a rare problem by any means (seems like NVIDIA did a terrible job with their linux...

So i googled my error because fedorafaqs instructions stopped working for me, and there is a funky line of code in a config file i had to edit. So i extract it and fix it, but now i need to know how...

When you try to install the drivers, you get a message asking to check nvidias FTP for one, then it cant find one, then it tries to compile one and asks for gcc, which is where i am at now, and ive...

Tried your code again, got this

I just yum installed gcc and stuff, which is what it asked for, and its still not installing the driver. Any other suggestions?

Did that successfully. Ive read all the stuff on a million websites and none of them are working at all. So far everything everyone has suggested has worked well but I havent been able to install...

What did it do? Have you edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use the nvidia module instead of nv?
We need lots more information aside from "I did some stuff and it didn't work"

Alright, I got that sorted out and now the driver install fails because I dont have the right compilers. Ive installed all sorts of gcc and stuff and it wont friggin install the driver!

Anyway,...

Ctrl Alt Backspace just brings me to the login screen again. Ctrl Alt F1 got me to a proper terminal but the driver im trying to install said x cannot be running while it is installing.

Ill try...

Perhaps you are using a different distro?

I need to leave X windows so I can install an Nvidia driver, but nothing Ive read up on works or it just takes me back to the login screen. Ive done the init 3 command but that just seems to leave x...

Another little thing. Ive got an nvidia driver I want to install which requires me to leave x windows and do so manually in a terminal. However, when I run the init 3 command it exits gnome and i...

The problem wasn't the instructions from the site, it was that the URL for the update was giving me an error. I ran their instructions again so I could paste the code in and show you exactly what...

Looks like I didnt see your last post before I put my last one up.

So it seems as if the error I was getting trying to wget yum as a result of no host being found has magically dissapeared.

The directions on here were the ones I was using to try and learn to install software.

Im using fedora core 4 and I am a total linux newb. I was following some instructions on fedorafaq.com and deleted yum, and their version did not load like it was supposed to. I need to know how to...
