  1. LFS 5.0 Released!

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted · Edited by sud_crow

    Finally! LFS 5.0 has been released today!

     

    Here is the official announcement:

     

    Gerard Beekmans - 2003/11/05

     

    The Linux From Scratch community is pleased to announce the release of LFS-5.0. This major milestone features a new method with strong emphasis on building a correct compilation environment and base libraries independent from the host system. Release 5.0 features the Linux kernel version 2.4.22, the GNU C Library (glibc) 2.3.2, the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) 3.3.1 and a bootloader change from LILO to GRUB, amongst other package upgrades. The book's explanatory texts have also been enhanced, providing an even richer learning experience while you build your own customised, hand-crafted Linux installation.

     

     

    wooohoooo!, now i only need some pkg management for it! :cheesy:

    If i had two monitors and a spare video card, i might be real usufull... but as i dont:

     

     

     

    I dont think you will be able to make applications to maximize to one entire desktop (in one monitor) while having them in the "simulate-one-huge-monitor" function (the panel sharing the two screens). At least in virtual mode, i cant make maximization to the virtual display.

     

     

    Just to recomfort you; i envy you. :evilmod:

    [crow@archcrow crow]$ sensors

Could not locate or open config file!

     

    tryed root just in case:

     

    [root@archcrow crow]# sensors

Could not locate or open config file!

     

     

    looked for it:

    [root@archcrow crow]# locate sensors.conf

/usr/etc/lm_sensors/sensors.conf

/usr/etc/lm_sensors/sensors.conf.pacsave

/usr/man/man5/sensors.conf.5.gz

     

    then run:

     

     

    [root@archcrow crow]# modprobe i2c-proc

[root@archcrow crow]#  sensors -c /usr/etc/lm_sensors/sensors.conf

No sensors found!

  12. What is this: Mandrake92-updated-CD1.iso ??

    in Everything Linux

    Posted

    since I don't speak whatever language that is there i couldn't get a clue...

     

     

    Its Czech.

     

    http://www.czech.cz/index.php?section=1&menu=8

     

    do someone knows if theses iso include the club rpms ?

     

    I dont know, but i dont think that would be quite right...

     

     

    Now that I got my system back in order, I was thinking of tackling something like this myself. BUT, I think I will wait some more. Yesterday there were like 248 megs of updates, today there is over 300, and who knows what will be there tomorrow.

     

    Crap! whats this a 9.1 replay? this version is full of bugs too?? again??

     

    mmmmm.... :evil:

  17. BIOS Setup to default and modem probs

    in Hardware

    Posted

    Ok, problem solved. Anyway i will detail just to help future .....whatever.

     

     

     

    Here i go:

     

    I have a Wisecom Accelerator Pro 56k

    Its a ISA modem, and its quite good.

     

    In windows, it says COM 3, and IRQ 11, dont know the DMA (if it uses one)

    And worked without any problems, no resource conflicts or any other issues.

     

    But in Linux works in COM1 (ttyS0), what i did to make it work?

    When i booted to Linux, the modem couldnt be found by the dialer, this means it didnt found it in any port from com1 to com3 (com4 for some reason is disabled)

    So i knew it had something to do with IRQs or COMs, then i started looking at the BIOS and seted the IRQ 11 exclusively for ISA (there is the option), this didnt work, and i tryed other IRQs and added DMAs, wouldnt work either.... then chequing i found that the serial ports where using COM1 and COM2 but it didnt sayd it anywhere, i just realised, it just showed a default address and IRQ, then as i dont have actually any serial device i just switched them off. I still have to try if i change the address what happens.

     

    I have a CUV4X motherboard by the way.

     

    Note: just did this in case someone runs the same problem, as leaving the thread empty wouldnt help.

     

    thanks for the hand Ixthusdan.

  18. BIOS Setup to default and modem probs

    in Hardware

    Posted

    Short story:

     

    I was setting up Win98 for my brother, installed the Sygate Firewall Pro 5, and i was configuring it when it froze, this was a win98se fresh install...

    is this normal ? ;) hehehehe.

     

    Anyway, the problem is that when i touched the reboot button in the Case,

    the PC should have (?) rebooted, but it didnt, the monitor LED was blinking while the CPU and HD lights where "doing something".

     

    So i went again with the case button. This time booted, but the BIOS Setup was set back to all default values.

     

    So i lost the personal configuration, where i seted up the Modem IRQ, DMA and other stuff....

    When i go to windows, it says COM 3, but it isnt working in thatone, and before was on COM 1 (in Linux, dont remember in windows) but its not working either, it says modem not found.

     

    im using wvdial. dont have KPPP.

     

    any suggestions???

    Mozilla 1.5 Final Released!!

     

    Thats it, they did it today!

     

    Here is the Whats New.

     

    http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.5...README.html#new

     

    For all Contents on Mozilla 1.5:

     

    http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.5/

     

    This is the stuff i liked best (about the whats new)

     

    1) Mozilla now includes a spellchecker for MailNews and Composer.

     

    2) Improvements to tabbed browsing including:

     

    * Tabs are now replaced when a bookmark group is loaded. This can be changed to the old "append" behavior in the Tabbed browsing preferences.

    * Back and Forward navigation for tabbed browsing and bookmark groups has been improved. Users can now use the back button after loading a bookmark group to restore the previous set of tabs.

    * Closing a window with multiple tabs now prompts the user with a confirmation dialog (which can be disabled for future close operations.)

     

    3) Mozilla has improved performance, stability, standards support and web compatibility.

     

     

    Im going to get it right now... or maybe ill wait until Arch has the pkgs.

    HI,

     

    first you should locate where pygtk 2.0 is installed wich i assume you do coz youd dindt ask. so here we go for the variable:

     

    in command line:

    $ export PYTHONPATH="the/location/to/pygtk2"

     

    thats a temp way, so if you log out it will be lost, to have it at start time, copy that line to your ~/.bashrc file.

     

    just in case, you could use "locate pygtk" to find where it is, also, as root run updatedb before doing this, just in case!

     

     

    good luck

  24. How to integrate Thunderbird with Mandrake?

    in Software

    Posted

    Hey,

    i had more-or-less the same thing with KNewsTicler, its pretty stupid answer but wont hurt to try :lol: just launch MCC and re-register web files with Mozilla...

     

    For some reason it just fixed it with the KNewTicler, i was getting Konqueror Open instead of Mozilla.

     

    Whats better in Thunderbird than in Mozillas Mail app?? apart from lightweight so i can think in switching...

  25. installing non-rpm programs

    in Software

    Posted

    I used menudrake and it was very easy, mystified showed me how, and it can all be done with a gui

     

    Today almost everything can be done from GUI, for bad or good.

    But its always good to know what the GUI does, and thats what william just told you.

    The MCC just edits that file, remember it, i used fluxbox until a week ago, when i switched to XFce4, i found editing $HOME/.fluxbox/menu was the easiest way of changing something in the right click menu, you dont have to wait until MCC loads neither go through all the clicking.

    anyway, its the fast but not-so-easy way of doing it! hope you find it usufull soon.

     

    note:

    $HOME = /home/youruser/

    is a defined variable in all systems (unless you change it)
