Remote logoff
by Mark Haney 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Is it possible to remotely log someone off? Cleanly? I have never tried, but what I'd like to have is the ability to log off of GNOME a user at my house via SSH. -------------------------------------- Mark Haney Network Administrator InterAct Public Safety Systems mhaney(a)interactsys.com Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) Kernel: 2.6.8-1.521 GNU/Linux 16:03:51 up 7:58, 3 users, load average: 1.39, 1.67, 1.75

Dual Boot XP/FC2 Install Problem
by Richard Heldmann 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

I am trying to install FC2 on a Dell Dimension 8300, with a Seagate Model ST3120026AS SATA 120Gb hard drive. The controller is an Intel 82801ED Ultra ATA Storage Controller. I have repartioned the drive with Partition Magic and formatted the last 20Gb as ext2. There are no errors on either partition and the machine boots into XP normally. Upon starting the installation with the known geometry, boot: linux hda=14589,255,63 I get the following error message: hda: IRQ probe failed hda: no response hda:non-IDE drive, CHS=14589,255,63 ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hda Invalid Geometry: 255 Physical heads? ide-default: hda: Failed to register the driver with ide.c Kernel panic: ide: default attach failed. The machine is of course locked up. Help appreciated.

ATI drivers for Laptop
by Martijn Bronkhorst 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Hello, I'm not sure if i am saying this right, but i'm trying to configure a ATI 128 mobility video card while using fedora core 2. The drivers for linux that ati offers did not do the trick. I really need to get this working, because I need an external monitor now first before I ever see the display right. And on a laptop, this isn't very nice. If you can help me out, please do. Thanx in Advance Martijn Bronkhorst

network
by Nina Pham 01 Sep '04

I just installed FC2 and configured network. However, I can not ping anything except localhost, nor rlogin to the system from my pc. How do I check if my FC2 system actually is able to access to the internet?

network install
by Simon Tierney 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Thanks for replying about my installation problem on the mashita dvd multi drive. I have broadband but I have never successfully installed over a network connection. It makes sense to me that the installation of Fedora2 is stalling due to lack of a driver because this is a new laptop. Can someone give me a URL and some instructions how to do a network install after booting to the CDROM? Thanks for any help.

Installing/storing on a USB external drive
by Ken Wolman 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Problem: I had been able to install "standard" Red Hat on a somewhat aging Celeron with a 10GB hard drive to which I added a Maxtor 40GB USB 2.0 external drive. Partition Magic "liked" the external, too. It seems that whatever I'm doing wrong, Fedora 2 will not recognize that there is a USB 2.0 disk. I'd cleared about 125 MB on the original disk for /boot storage with the intention of loaded the other material on the USB disk. No such luck if Fedora can't seem to find the drive. What am I not doing that I should be doing? Many thanks. Ken

Question about developing programs...
by Andrew Konosky 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

I have been writing a small program in C++ with KDevelop to calculate vectors for physics class, and I have compiled and installed it so that it runs when I type the command in the console, which is really cool! If I want to cross-compile it to make a windows version to give to some of my friends, how would I do that? I'm guessing it would just be a DOS file, since there is no gui?

Hello, I want to use iiimf but as for installation... 1) there is only a core1 dir for yum 2) the testing guide give vague instructions like download the files and use the standard rpm -ivh.... but 3) there are 15+ rpms under http://www.apac.redhat.com/iiimftest/files/fc2/ Do I really need them all? -- Shawn <javajunkie(a)koyuru.com>

Re: Red Hat Network Up2Date problem

Hi, I'm not sure but I think you should have a registeration on rhn or simply you can update packages you need directly (via web) from redhat ----- Original Message ----- From: <neil.derraugh(a)sympatico.ca> Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2004 9:58:45 -0400 To: <fedora-list(a)redhat.com> Subject: Red Hat Network Up2Date problem > Hi, > > The up2date icon on my task bar (system tray?) is telling me there are 6 updates to be had (0 ignored). But when I run the app it, after querying the servers, it tells me that my system is up2date (sorry couldn't resist). This has been going on for several weeks (if not months). > > Any one know why?
