| DSL Gateway: ping test problem Posted: 17 Mar 2006 02:16 AM PST The Natural Philosopher wrote: That's what drives me crazy! 8-| Maybe, is it necessary to launch a specific command in order to update the system state after a network configuration (I say, after ifconfig-ing and route-ing)? Another stupid question (forgive me, please!): I noticed that rebooting the system loses my network configuration: how can I avoid this volatile behavior (I imagine there's some tweak to be made in /etc ...)? I expressly disabled DHCP (see below). Here it is: Ethernet interface: Description. . . . . . . . . . . . . . : NIC Fast Ethernet PCI Realtek RTL8139 Family Physical address . . . . . . . . . . . : 00-11-2F-CD-9B-14 DHCP enabled . . . . . . . . . . . . . : No IP address . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.2 Subnet mask. . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DNS Servers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 193.70.152.15 193.70.152.25 Yes, I was.

| Sl-o-o-o-o-o-w Performance of Nautilus Graphical File Manager in FC2 Posted: 16 Mar 2006 10:40 AM PST Richard Vaughn wrote: Yes. Disable nautilus: it's a notorious CPU pig and system resource waster. Unfortunately, a bunch of other tools rely on its libraries, so it's safer to move the binary aside to "nautilus.disabled" than simply to remove the RPM. Secondly, have you done all the system updates for FC2? And why in the name of all goodness are you still running FC2, which is now deprecated? You can still get updates from www.fedoralegacy.org for FC2 if you need them, but I'd definitely update. Thirdly, if you have a bunch of NFS/SMB/etc. network drives mounted, and any of them is currently unavailable, lots of programs have problems accessing such drives, especially when they're mounted as "/whatever" and certain operations do a stat operation on the root of your file system, and have to wait for the attempt to access that mountpoint to fail. I'm not sure if any of these will help you, but they're a starting point. |

| ISC DHCPd version 3.0.1 stopped responding. Posted: 14 Mar 2006 11:25 PM PST HI, have you checked the range of IP addresses defined in the /etc/dhcpd.conf file.. if you are using linux machine at client side , use "dhclient" command to reconfigure it. Log messages will be created in the /var/log/messages.and /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases at server side..and for client it will be dhclient.leases.Also Check with the switch it may also blocking the request from client.. please revert : com |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2006 09:38 PM PST hi , I tried to install ekiga 2.0.0 . OPel step completes successfully. During step i run ekiga i got some installation problem. No package 'gnom-doc-utils' found configure eror:Package requirement (gnom-doc-utils'>0.3.2) were not found. Consider adjusting PKG_CONFIG_PATH enviroement variable if you instaled software in a non standard prefix. Alternatively you may set the enviroemtn variable GDU_MODULE_CHECK_CFLAGS and GDU_MODULE_VERSION_CHECK_LIBS to aviod the need to call pkg-config PLZZ HELP how to solve this problem Regards Zandu.. |
| USB Storage device initializes FOUR TIMES!!! Posted: 14 Mar 2006 09:03 PM PST Thanks guys. I had more problems (sd* letters kept increasing), but perhaps not with the new fc4 kernel.

Part of your disk space may be unusable, not because of the 1024 cylinder limit, but because you have four primary partitions, and the unused space is not adjacent to the extended partition. As a quick fix you might back up any important data, delete your extended partition, and make a new extended partition of the unallocated space. -- The most important design issue... is the fact that Linux is supposed to be fun... -- Linus Torvalds at the First Dutch International Symposium on Linux |

| Installing Linux from within Linux?

Alternatively, (no image), you could try putting the install kernel + initrd onto the system boot from that and do a network installation.

| boxes for letters: finding a font Posted: 10 Mar 2006 09:41 PM PST I was hoping that determining font dependencies would be as standard as ldd for library dep. Here's the os stuff: Zipslack (current ver i think) Linux version 2.4.31 according to /proc/version ,June 5 2005. (I dnld this in Jan 2006, direct from the Slackware webpage) http://www.slackware.com/zipslack/ $LANG=en_US Opera 8.52 Weird thing is, I can go to the font section of preferences (ctrl-f12) and select various fonts for dialogs and such, and select the same fonts for the menu, and the menu font size and shape will change, but stays boxes, while all else in opera has viewable fonts. -- Buzzard |
