Best Linux ... Thing

Try 'su -' instead of just 'su' to get to root, you'll get root's environment then, including /sbin and /usr/sbin in your path (telinit is in /sbin).

well i changed id:5:initdefault:
to id:3:initdefault:

then rebooted and now im in a text based thing and cant get to a graphic interface anymore - and its stressing me out

 

[NaveT]

thats what you want. Install the nvidia drivers now, and then init 5, will get you back to the gfx.

If this is stressing you out. It will get a lot worse before it starts to get better.

 

[Brynn]

cant install the drivers gives me some crap error about the kernel not having some compiler - then it tries to download it from the main site.

Keeps giving me errors.

However i love it, just seems nice, i was getting stressed writing a report so i played tux racing.

 

[NaveT]

it might be helpful if you let us know those errors, or enter them in to google to see how to resolve it.

Azureus TERMINATED.

I'm trying to install azureus and it dosnt seem to work, i'm a linux newb and using Fedora Core 3.. could anyone give me a lil help?

(It worked last time I installed it ! but wont this time )

 

[NaveT]

Tried setting all the enviromental values as per - http://ghaefb.fedorausers.org/howto02.html

or

You need official sun JDK 5 to run azureus from FC3.
Get self extracting packages from
http://192.18.97.147/ECom/EComTicke.../jdk-1.5.0-oth-JPR:3/jdk-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin

Then change file permission to executable.
chmod +x jdk-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin
extract file
./jdk-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin
Files will be extracted to jdk1.5.0 directory

You can move that directory to /opt or any other suitable location for you.
Now edit 4th line in azureus script file with text editor
i.e. JAVA_PROGRAM_DIR="/opt/jdk1.5.0/jre/bin/"
and 23rd line
JAVADIR=/opt/jdk1.5.0/jre/bin/

I use the first link and its working, ty

 

[PLightstar]

Just started using Knoppix which I think runs on the Debian code, its good but most FAQ sites are in German, which is a pain in the Arse.

 

[Clown]

I know this thread is old but it's appropriate. I'm a total noob at Linux but I'm using Debian. It's not meant to be the most user friendly, but I'm only using the Command Line Interface, so I presume most Linuxes will be the same as this. I seem to be managing with the help of some people. Ok. Some people might mean EVERYONE I can ask

 

[Chilly]

at the command line level there are very few differences really, unless your using funky shells or something other than yer basic bash

 

[Teren]

Switched to Ubuntu from Knoppix, basically, the major difference is Gnome instead of KDE, but I quite like it.
Also, have a goal now: full switching from Windoze to Linux.

 

[TdC]

ooh! good luck!

I personally have two computers: one doze box for games, and a unix box (in my case a sun ultra 10 running Solaris9) for everything else. A slight niggle I have is that I installed Thunderbird on the doze box and now read (and keep) my email on it which I consider to be highly unwise. I did just read on sunfreeware.com that thunderbird is available as a package on solaris 8, 9 and 10 so I'll be moving the mail over shortly.

 

[Teren]

Actually, I'm not a newb in Linux, just that I'm lazy and Knoppix didn't offer much of the quickie update stuff etc, like Ubuntu does. Now with Ubuntu Window$ is only for games, the non-OpenGL ones, 'cause Cedega runs almost all OpenGL games without lag at all

 

[Munkey]

Ubuntu is making me cry atm. Having to go through so much shit its unbelievable, had to switch from GRUB to LILO and try and configure my network.

and i've only been using it for an hour *cries*

 

[Sar]

Downloading the AMD 64 version of Ubuntu and Kubuntu, as live CD ISOs to give it a crack.

May as well, plenty of space available on this here rig

 

[Sar]

And following a mighty struggle getting my Speedtouch330 USB ADSL modem to work in Hoary (Ubuntu 5.04), I'm finally online, IN LINUX



Such satisfaction you wouldn't believe.

 

[Panda On Smack]

i just had KNOPIX running on my xbox and im gonna try gentoox now

anyone else used linux on xbox?

 

[Killswitch]

I run Aurora Linux 2.0 which is a port of Fedora Core 3 to SPARC (Sun Microsystems) hardware. It's very stable and easy to use, so I can recommend Fedora to any beginners or hobbyists. For anyone who wants to run a server on x86-style hardware, you can't beat CentOS. It's a port of the RedHat Enterprise Linux software with the proprietary stuff taken out. I have a dozen boxes running this with a combined uptime of nearly 2500 days!!!

hmm...misread the date on the last post...superbump there
