Nope, its the one that comes with the default them on JDS "Blueprint"

Mines been working since early on rawhide of fc5. I'm at work, close my lid (suspend) go home, open the lid, laptop kicks on and my wireless site ask for the network. /me whispers, rh started nm project :)

<insert fancy blurb here> :unsure:

no problem

How did you install ndiswrapper?

1.) 2080 is good 2.) http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_in...tion_notes.html 3.) http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=101784

Do you have several terminals open?

Also, if you want to test by using update-testing, livna has there testing repo that keeps the kernel stuff in sync http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/testing/5/ So nvidia is not a yum # cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ # vi fedora-updates-testing.repo change the first one to enabled=1 yum update kernel kernel-devel reboot should be 2069 # uname -r 2.6.16-1.2069_FC5 For livna stuff # rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm # vi livna-testing.repo change the first one to enabled=1 # yum install kmod-nvidia-$(uname -r) # /usr/sbin/nvidia-config-display enable # init 3; init 5 or init 6(to reboot) This is only if you want to use "Testing Stuff", however, this is not rawhide(devel) but what will be pushed to regular updates if they are no complaints after a certian mount of time.

Ah, I found it, 69 is now in update-testing http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedo...testing/5/i386/ You could get rid of daves kernels, cause soon they will mix in with some debugging and other stuff and just run a kernel from update-testing. However you have 2074 now, so its harder to go backwards :)

;)

I was even thinking a couple weeks ago in rawhide it was 3k+, alas I can't remember yestedays events so a couple weeks ago is a guess. :huh:

It's more of waiting for them to release an official kernel update because the ones you are using are still testing. THen Livna.repo will have all the ntfs/nvidia/blah modules for the kernel. 2.6.16-1.2088_FC6 <--- I'm running that for example B)

rawhide extras-dev: ################################################## 2102/2102 developmen: ################################################## 4677/4677 freshrpms : ################################################## 145/145 I could have sworn that extras was up to 3k+ awhile back, so not sure whats going on there.

I agree, fedora is the bomb! /me already tracking fc6 on one box.... B) I told my self I would stop running rawhide, but its like crack so I can't.........

Just curious, did you all use md5sum or shasum? You want to use the latter, hope you didn't waste time d/l over the wrong checker :)

On your sums not matching, did you use md5sum *.iso? If you did that wont match, since they use Shasum ;) shasum *.iso

pirut will have that funcionality later, there still working on it. pirut replaced system-config-package which did use cd/dvd's, but they haven't got that funcionallity in there yet. For now like artic said, create a local repo file $ su - # cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ # sed -i s/enabled=1/enabled=0/ *.repo (this will ensure all of your repositorys are set to 0 meaning they would look for them. # vi cd.repo cat cd.repo [local-cd] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Local CD install baseurl=file:///media/disk enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 Now you can use pirut to install stuff (gui) or use yum Now I will install something I know I don't have with yum. # yum install zsh-html Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "changelog" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories local-cd [1/1] local-cd 100% |=========================| 1.3 kB 00:04 Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 746 kB 00:00 local-cd : ################################################## 2414/2414 Added 2414 new packages, deleted 0 old in 10.55 seconds Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Just a big not though, as you saw, you have none of your "internet" repositorys enabled so you will need to re-enable those when you have connectivity. # cd /etc/yum.repos.d #sed -i s/enabled=0/enabled=1/ fedora-core.repo fedora-extras.repo fedora-updates.repo I have the 5cd set so this method works for the 1st cd only ( as the other Cds do not have any repodata). I guess you don't have this problem with DVDs as everythings in one place. Any ideas? Thanks. A. Ah, I missed this part with cd's, You could make a local repo's by cp everything over to a dir off the cd's and use createrepo to make the repodata file.

There are several reasons why you need to go the route of my how-to or verious other ones out there. Not everything is Fedora's Fault. 1.) The original kernel that shipped with FC5 is there fault, whoops, get the next one. 2.) Modular X, default nvidia.com installer need to pass location of modular X. You can either consider this nvidia's fault or xorg fault, or maybe FC for including it, but that would be a strech. 3.) Kernel 2.6.15-git4 and above, nvidia.com's installer needs a patch to build against the kernel. Again, this is either nvidia.com's fault or kernel.org's fault. A real strech to blame Fedora for having the latest kernel. With all that, it is a lot cleaner to use the rpm method from livna since it doesn't muck up the kernel with crap and includes the patches and locations for what needs to be done. and sooner than later livna will have there own package out that will be an "EASY" install. Like "yum install nvidia-something" In the end, if nvidia.com was open source this would all be really really easy and there drivers would be much better, go bang on there door.

If this isn't for a laptop that wont suspend, I'd only use about 512MB for swap and the rest for / if this is a pretty small hd. The installer will also make a suggestion.

FYI... https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=31436 or here: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.ph...5561#post475561 This is about the same run through I do in rawhide, I haven't been able to test these updated packages, and um, I forgot i was booted into xen and nvidia doesn't build against it, so this should work, please test it :)

Oh, edit the nvidia-kmod.spec and take out xen and kerneldump Change 1 to 0 %define buildxen 0 %define buildkdump 0

Just a short how-to/FYI If the new kernel isn't in updates by the time you eager beavers install Just follow this http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.ph...5561#post475561 I had to fix some things and I'm tired of cp/paste from forum to from :) OLD don't use :) to tired to delete...... $ su - # cd /etc/yum.repos.d # vi dave-kernels.repo the file cat /etc/yum.repos.d/dave-kernels.repo [dave-kernels] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Dave's Kernels baseurl=http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5/RPMS.kernel/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 Update the kernel and some other things you need # yum update kernel # yum install kernel-devel fedora-rpmdevtools subversion # reboot As your user $ fedora-buildrpmtree $ cd $HOME/rpmbuild $ mkdir src.rpms && cd src.rpms The nvidia driver: $ wget -c http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/development/SRPMS/xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.8178-7.lvn5.src.rpm $ rpm -ivh xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.8178-7.lvn5.src.rpm $ cd ../SPEC $ rpmbuild -ba xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.spec The kernel module $ cd $HOME/rpmbuild/src.rpms $ svn co svn://svn.livna.org/rlo/packages/nvidia-kmod/ $ cd nvidia-kmod/devel $ cp * $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ $ cp nvidia-kmod.spec $HOME/rpmbuild/SPECS $ cd $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES $ wget -c http://www.leemhuis.info/files/fedorarpms/KMODFILES.lvn/nvidia-glx-kmod-data-1.0.8178.tar.bz2 $ cd $HOME/rpmbuild/SPECS $ rpmbuild -ba nvidia-kmod.spec --target $(uname -m) Finishing up $ su - # cd $USERS_HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS/${ARCH}/ # rpm -ivh kmod-nvidia* xorg-x11-drv-nvidia* # /usr/sbin/nvidia-config-display enable # init 3; init 5 Done, now go play games or setup twinview..... THe same process should work for ati

hehehe If you know how to filter mirrors, you could have grabbed it Friday atleast, cause thats when I did :) Just up front warnings that have already been said, you need to update the kernel for 3d nvidia/ati and use the nvidia/ati rpms from livna 1.) because the vanilla kernel 2.6.15-get4ish broke something nvidia does 2.) modular xorg 3.) its easier :) Have fun and enjoy and start new threads if you have questions.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq Fedora is also working on making it totally painless (as much as one can), but that might not be for a release or two. You must be part of there marketing team

Yes, I agree ricer4 sucks :) I've used it through out different stages, even when they said it went final, I saw a lot of slow downs were I wouldn't expect them and overall thought it was crap. I remember when iph lost his hard drives, I asked if he had ricer4, he said yes, I said I figured :o That's not -v but you get it, ricer4 is not something I would recommend using. rieser3 will not be getting patches/enanchments unless someone out side the ricer4 club, takes it up. ext3 all the way, unless someone can port zfs over
