sudo apt-get install gphoto2

The program doesn't show up in any of the menus and I don't know
were the install put it or how to run it.

Linux Booten mit Hilfe einer Diskette

My German is not up to an answer.

But you have to install linux after windows. If you have to reinstall windows
it overwrites linux grub or lilo and you need to use the diskette.

I have reinstalled Redhat simply telling the install program it was an upgrade
and it restored lilo. There is probably a much better way to do it.

NTSF in Fedora 5

Posted: 12 Apr 2006 05:18 AM PDT

In comp.os.linux.setup Renato <com>: 
 

Is this partition local or remote (smb)?

Why don't you look it up?

grep -i ntfs /boot/config-`uname -r`
# CONFIG_NTFS_FS is not set

yum install kmod-ntfs

Should get you the needed kernel modules. Check
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ for additional tools you might want to
use. Be sure to update your system to the latest patches, using
yum, can save you lots of trouble.

Good luck

compatibilitity between Redhat 9 and Fedora core

Seriously I mean if it depends upon _errors_ in shared libraries that have been
corrected are you sure you want to use it.

But friend to friend that is the best they have and they give you a copy.

Since you have tried it, what is on the screen when you run it and it crashes?
It should be modestly specific as to its problem. If something was renamed you
can get the source for the library and equate the old and new names.

If you can name the library that causes the problem it could be a very well
known change and workaround. If it is something like gnome or kde that is the
problem forget it or bite the bullet for some cheap ass used computer that was a
trade-in at a local dealer and install the old RH release. But even then, if the
developer upgraded the release you still might be up shitcreek.

As a last resort, post what it is supposed to do. If someone wanted to do it
maybe others did and it might be available and up to date.

Soundblaster Live! Platinum stopped working.

Posted: 09 Apr 2006 08:41 PM PDT

I think you are right. I realized last night that sound test for my on
board sound card is driving my SB live, and vice versa. I did it the
stupid way, disabled the sound card in the bios and the SB live started
to work. Not very well though, all the speakers are messed up. The
computer somehow channels all the sounds to the center speaker, so a
lot of noises. This morning, alsactl is gone (it was there last night),
yet everything suddenly started to work for some reason (probably due
to that fact that I deleted the asound.state file). I am not going to
touch that damn thing again. :) Thank you all for the helps.

Ethernet / LAN card bug fixed

Wny would anyone boot from Windows when in so many cases there is a deliberate

As to the ethernet card, an RTC compatible card is the first thing to put in to
diagnos the problem. It works and because it is the grandfather of ethernet
cards everyone should have copied or reverse engineered it by now.

Dmseg should say it has found a compatible with RTCxxxx ethernet card.

Booting the right kernel?

It is quite scary that at some point in time it will be almost
impossible to distinguish a real server from a virtual one.

But according to the hosters (the company is 1and1), they do
offer fully dedicated machines, as opposed to virtual servers.
I guess I can only trust that they indeed do that (well, they
could get in real trouble if they don't, I guess)

Cheers,

APM - Automatic startup

Posted: 06 Apr 2006 08:28 AM PDT

lemna wrote: 

Shutdown is easy, run it from cron. Startup is dependent on your
hardware and BIOS. You may want to setup HD spindown (hdparms) on idle
and use suspend to put the machine in deep hibernate, with wake on clock
or wake on NIC.

Google is your friend, this is still an adventure.

First, please learn to spell and use the "Capital" key correctly. It would
really help make your note more legiblem, as well as leaving out the Fadia
ranting.

Second, RH9 is out of date for a number of reasons. If your hardware
supports a more powerful, modern OS, I strongly suggest you update.

Third, as pointed out elsewhere, the /etc/inittab contains processes started
by your initd. The problem is probably a failure to have a working X
configuration, and being in runlevel 5, where the X user login is normally
done from. You probably need to reconfigure your X setup: did it ever work
for you in the past?

VPN server..

I use openvpn, the man pages were sufficient. NB you have to let the
packets in through the firewall. That was the biggest problem I had.
Also, TCP is slower but may go through a firewall better, you need
forwarding rules in the server, and must have tcp_forwarding on.

openvpn comes with some distributions.

go to www.google.com/linux and google for suspend. On laptops I have had
better luck with suspend2, but it takes some kernel patches. Look for it
in your distribution, the kernels may be severely hacked.

I have never had any problem getting a laptop to suspend, although in
general they don't resume. It's better now, and YMMV.
