  1. I fixed it, but thanks for offer iph. Some weird issues with iwconfig and gui. Neither were actually configuring my options and ndiswraper -m wasn't correctly configuring an alias in modprobe. For any others who may experience this problem, here is how I was able to resolve the issue (I was able to piece the solution together, thanks to numerous post on fedoraforum.org) Install ndiswrapper. Once installed: /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -i /your/wireless/driver/location /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l (to find out if file was loaded) modprobe ndiswrapper dmesg (see if there are any errors with your setup) Edit /etc/modprobe.conf and add these lines alias eth1 ndiswrapper options ndiswrapper if_name=eth1 (or whatever you want your connection to be called. ((eth5, wlan1, etc.)) Create the file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and add these lines IPV6INIT=no ONBOOT=yes USERCTL=yes PEERDNS=yes GATEWAY= TYPE=wireless DEVICE=eth1 HWADDR= BOOTPROTO=dhcp NETMASK= DHCP_HOSTNAME= IPADDR= DOMAIN= ESSID=(your essid) CHANNEL=6 MODE=Managed NETWORK_TYPE=g #RATE=54Mb/s RATE=Auto (of course, change any of this to match your network setup) Create the file: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-eth1 and add this line (if your network has no password security, leave password blank) KEY=(your key) Then: ifup eth1
  2. Ok, the FC fanatics got me excited about FC5, so I downloaded and installed it this weekend on my laptop. Installed without a hitch, and runs well. I have decided to make this my laptop os, that is, if I can get ndiswrapper running and my wireless working. I've had the wireless working on this laptop with Ubuntu, Mepis and PCLOS using ndiswrapper, so I know everything (ndiswrapper, bcmwl5 drivers, etc.) works. Here's where I am: Ndiswrapper installed, driver installed and recognized, wlan0/ndiswrapper added as a device in network options. Now the problem: Attempting to activate both with gui and cl (ifup) results in this error: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device wlan0; Invalid argument. Determining IP information for wlan0... failed; no link present. Check cable? output of iwconfig: [root@fedora ~]# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. sit0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any Nickname:"fedora.box.linux.com" Mode:Auto Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=2346 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 output of ifconfig: [root@fedora ~]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:25:08:6D:F2 inet addr:10.100.1.101 Bcast:10.100.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::203:25ff:fe08:6df2/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:38380 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4142 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:23 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:17775709 (16.9 MiB) TX bytes:717826 (701.0 KiB) Interrupt:11 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:2339 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2339 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:3010283 (2.8 MiB) TX bytes:3010283 (2.8 MiB) Relevant bits of dmesg output: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready ndiswrapper version 1.10 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no) ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5 (Broadcom,06/13/2003, 3.20.23.0) loaded ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0c.0[A] -> Link [LNK2] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready ndiswrapper version 1.10 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no) ndiswrapper: driver bcmwl5 (Broadcom,06/13/2003, 3.20.23.0) loaded ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0c.0[A] -> Link [LNK2] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 ndiswrapper: using irq 10 wlan0: vendor: '' wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:90:96:59:b3:86 using driver bcmwl5, 14E4:4320.5.conf wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA; AES/CCMP with WPA ndiswrapper (iw_set_encr:892): removing encryption key 0 failed (C0010015) ndiswrapper: using irq 10 wlan0: vendor: '' wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:90:96:59:b3:86 using driver bcmwl5, 14E4:4320.5.conf wlan0: encryption modes supported: WEP; TKIP with WPA; AES/CCMP with WPA ndiswrapper (iw_set_encr:892): removing encryption key 0 failed (C0010015) Been following some guides/posts at fedoraforum.org with no luck. I'd like to keep FC5 on this laptop. Any help would be appreciated.
  3. PCLOS & Mepis PCLOS, because it runs well on my laptop, and the live cd that I use to introduce people to linux runs flawlessly. Mepis, because every computer that I own connects to my network wirelessly, and Mepis has never failed to recognize my cards (5 diffrent systems, and 2 laptops) and have the network running at first boot.
  4. cybrjackle, you're awesome. That page that you coppied had the solution. I had to uninstall the libmp4v2 and the faac (along with about 20 other apps that depended upon them) and replace them with the mpeg4ip. I was then able to compile gtkpod with support for the m4v video files. Now I just need to go back and reinstall mplayer, k3b and ffmpeg, and everything will be good. Thanks again cybr.
  5. I uninstalled and reinstalled anything aac/faad related, with no progress. The link provided resulted in a blank page and the index page of the site had no link to the same.
  6. rpm -ql and rpm -qf don't seem to do anything. whereis returned this: [kevin@localhost ~]$ whereis pkgconfig pkgconfig: /usr/lib/pkgconfig /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig [kevin@localhost ~]$ whereis pkg-config pkg-config: /usr/bin/pkg-config /usr/share/man/man1/pkg-config.1.bz2 And AC_SEARCH_LIBS=/usr/include/ ./configure --prefix=/home/kevin/tar/gtkpod-0.99.4 returns with the same configuration (still missing libmp4v2).
  7. [kevin@localhost ~]$ whereis mp4.h mp4: /usr/include/mp4.h Yeah, It's there also. Still stuck.
  8. Unfortunately for me, all those files are already installed. I even tried this tidbit from gtkpod.org But had no luck with it. Maybe PCLOS just hates me :D . I just can't figure out why it doesn't recognize the files.
  9. I can't find anything that I'm missing. I did notice that when I uninstall libmp4v2, the configure hits that point and immediately marks "no", but when I have it installed, and it hits the same point, it pauses for a few seconds, like it knows it's there somewhere but can't find it. checking for id3_frame_field in -lid3tag... yes checking for library containing MP4FileInfo... no checking for library containing bind... none required GTK2 version .........: 2.8.9 GLib2/GThread version : 2.8.4 id3tag lib ...........: yes mp4v2 ................: *** no -- will build without aac support NLS/gettext ..........: yes Now type 'make' to build gtkpod 0.99.4, and then 'make install' for installation. Can I direct the configure process to look in a specific place for the mp4v2 lib? [root@localhost gtkpod-0.99.4]# whereis libmp4v2 libmp4v2: /usr/lib/libmp4v2.a /usr/lib/libmp4v2.la /usr/lib/libmp4v2.so
  10. Ok, some computer wierdness. Went back and ran ./configure to get that info and just for "fun" did another make..... and it completed without errors, as did make install. Only problem now is that after looking at the final configure info, it compiled without mp4v2 lib. What happened? The first time I configured it refused to procede, untill I loaded mp4v2 lib, now, even though it's there, gtkpod compiles without. What did I do and what can I do? BTW cybrjackle, my configure ends almost identical to yours, minus the mp4v part.
  11. Yeah, amarok is all good and well for the music, but the mv4 (video) is where I'm stuck. As far as I can tell gtkpod is the only one supporting that right now.
  12. Here's the prob. My wife bought me an Ipod Video for Christmas. At the time, there was really no support for the video functions in any of the Linux Itunes equivalents. To install video on my Ipod, I was forced to create an XP partition, just to run Itunes. Now I see that gtkpod supports mv4. The only problem is, I can't just synaptic the gtkpod package, because it has to be compiled with the mv4 lib. I've installed the mv4 lib, downloaded gtkpod-0.99.4 and ./configured it. No errors present for the configure, but when I go to make the app., I get this: [root@localhost gtkpod-0.99.4]# make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/kevin/tar/gtkpod-0.99.4' Making all in src make[2]: Entering directory `/home/kevin/tar/gtkpod-0.99.4/src' make all-am make[3]: Entering directory `/home/kevin/tar/gtkpod-0.99.4/src' if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -pthread -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/libpng12 -I/usr/include/libglade-2.0 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/gpod-1.0 -DMOUNT_BIN=\""/bin/mount\"" -DUMOUNT_BIN=\""/bin/umount\"" -DEJECT_BIN=\""@EJECT@\"" -DPACKAGE_DATA_DIR=\""/usr/local/share"\" -DPACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR=\""/usr/local//locale"\" -pthread -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/libpng12 -I/usr/include/libglade-2.0 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/gpod-1.0 -g -O2 -Wall -MT charset.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/charset.Tpo" \ -c -o charset.o `test -f 'charset.c' || echo './'`charset.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/charset.Tpo" ".deps/charset.Po"; \ else rm -f ".deps/charset.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi In file included from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkcairo.h:25, from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdk.h:30, from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h:31, from charset.c:35: /usr/include/pango-1.0/pango/pangocairo.h:66: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `cairo_font_options_t' /usr/include/pango-1.0/pango/pangocairo.h:66: error: syntax error before '*' token /usr/include/pango-1.0/pango/pangocairo.h:67: error: syntax error before '*' token /usr/include/pango-1.0/pango/pangocairo.h:67: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `pango_cairo_context_get_font_options' /usr/include/pango-1.0/pango/pangocairo.h:67: warning: data definition has no type or storage class In file included from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdk.h:50, from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h:31, from charset.c:35: /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkscreen.h:51: error: syntax error before "cairo_font_options_t" /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkscreen.h:51: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkscreen.h:53: error: syntax error before '}' token /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkscreen.h:106: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `cairo_font_options_t' /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkscreen.h:106: error: syntax error before '*' token /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkscreen.h:107: error: syntax error before '*' token /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkscreen.h:107: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `gdk_screen_get_font_options_libgtk_only' /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkscreen.h:107: warning: data definition has no type or storage class make[3]: *** [charset.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/kevin/tar/gtkpod-0.99.4/src' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/kevin/tar/gtkpod-0.99.4/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kevin/tar/gtkpod-0.99.4' make: *** [all] Error 2 Now, I rarely compile anything, and when I do, I tend to just find another app if it doesn't compile correctly, but gtkpod seems to be my best bet in getting rid of that XP partition again. If anyone has any advice that would help resolve this, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Imation USB pen Drive

    Just bought a Sony thumb drive and had a similar problem the first time I plugged it in. Just reformatted to fat 16 and problem was fixed.
  14. Storage Media is listed under KDE/System on my computer
  15. Can't think of any other suggestions at the momemt. For now, I'd find out what ports UT '99 uses and try opening them up on the router. Or if you want to rule out the router altogether, connect the computer directly to the modem and try your game out.
  16. Is there a particular game you're trying to play, or does this happen with all online games?
  17. Do you have a direct connection to the internet, or are you playing from behind a router? For example, I had to open the standard Enemy Territory server ports on my router, to get a decent connection.

    enemy territory

    They should come in your install. Where did you download the game from, and in what format (.rpm, .run, source)?
  19. Decided to do a clean install of Hoary - everything fixed now.
  20. Ok, all installed. No luck. X still broken unless I specify "nv" as the driver, but then I have no gfx acc. Don't know what else to do.
  21. Ok, I'm back at my Ubuntu computer. This may sound like a stupid question, but how exactly do I uninstall the official drivers? They were originaly installed as a run file. Second question. Since I'm doing all this from the command line, what is the Ubuntu Nvidia package name? Apt-get install nvidia is not coming back with anything.
  22. I'll try that, but I had to do the exact oposite the first time I set it up.
