  3. Ethernet, RJ-45 port, crossover cable

    I couldn't see how to change the ip address of ny Windows XP puter so I left it at 192.168.2.253. I then assigned my Linux puter with 192.168.2.1.

    I pinged my Linux puter from my Windows XP puter and recieved the following

  7. Ethernet, RJ-45 port, crossover cable

    in Networking

    Posted

    My old HPPavilian 512 has a plug-in on the back panel that says Ethernet. My new computer I built has a simular plug-in on the back panel that says RJ-45 Port. Are they the same thing? Is this where the crossover cable plugs in to transfur files from one computer to the other. My old computer is a Celeron with Windows XP and my new one is a Sempron with Mandriva 2006. Will that cause a problem? What else do I need to connect the two computers?

    I just bought a NEC ND 3550A DVD burner. I've read about flashing the burner and I am just as confused now as I was before I read the first article. Can someone tell me why I need to flash and which filmware I need to use and how to do it in Newbie language I can understand.

  10. Still trying to install tar files

    in Command Line, Kernel and Programming

    Posted

    I'd be tempted just to use the rpm versions, a lot less hassle, and it will solve the dependencies for you. Just installing the rpm of amule would have it up and running within minutes, and download any dependencies it needs :P

     

    When I first tried to install aMule I couldn't get any servers so I went to the aMule forum and did a search and this is what I found

    http://forum.amule.org/thread.php?threadid=10183&sid= This poor guy was as lost as I am and the only thing (Kry Kry is a male

    Main Developer / Admin / Rude ) said was update to aMule2.1.2. I found a few other searches where they only argued over what the correct answer was so it was certain I was not going to get a straight answer there so I started looking for aMule and the only aMule 2.1.2

    I could find was a tar file. I have never been able to install a tar successively so I thought I would try this one well it looks like I picked the wrong one to try because it has been one problem after another. I tried to use urpmi again and have the same problem when trying to get

    a server list. I updated

     

    Failed to load server.met file '/home/maparus/.aMule/server.met.download', unknown format encountered. & Not connected Kad off

     

    I did learn a few things though I know NOT to compile in root only at the end where I make file. And I may have the tools now to install a tar file that is less complacated than this one was. I would like to install a tar just once to see if I can do it. After 6 months of using Linux it has become a quest. So that's the whole story in a nutshell

    Here's ny latest attempt. Permission is denied unless I'm in root I would think that is because I extracted it in root. I know not to do that now. As you can see I still have some no's showing so what do I need know? WXGth2.6.x doesn't show up on urpmi so I suppose I'll have to get that else where

    Most of my learning of Linux has been trial and error so I've had to reinstall the urpmi sources many times but I never noticed the box on the easy-urpmi site that you can click to get a condensed version of the sources. What normally would take many hours to get all my sources was done in a matter of a couple of hours. So I'm ready for another guestion.

    I ran urpmi --auto-select --unclean and it did exactly what you said it would do. 148 packages at 865mb. WOW! That's a big chunk

    Two questions

    1. For future reference how do I add --resume to the configuration and how do I pause the down loads and how do I get them started again?

    2. The main programs I would want to make copies of are Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp-2.3 ect. So what would I type in the terminal for say Gimp-2.3.6-1.2006.sos in order to download the package with dependaceies and maintain a copy in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms

     

    many thank maparus

  22. How do I keep RPMS from deleting /var/cache/urpmi?

    e.g. is the abbreviation for exempli gratia, a Latin phrase meaning "for example." :)

     

    Now I'm really embarassed. I thought it was a program Do I type urpmi --auto-select --noclean in a terminal. It didn't seem to work. It brought up

    [root@localhost maparus]# urpmi --auto-select --noclean

    Some package requested cannot be installed:

    k3b-0.12.15-1.1.20060.SoS.i586 (due to missing libk3b2-0.12.15-1.1.20060.SoS.i586)

    libk3b2-0.12.15-1.1.20060.SoS.i586 (due to unsatisfied libmpcdec.so.3)

    Continue? (Y/n)

     

    I said no and canceled
