I have an application that works pretty well in Ubuntu, Windows and the Xandros that come with the Asus EeePC. Now we are moving to the Acer Aspire One but I'm having a lot of trouble making php-gtk to compile under the Fedora-like (Linpus Linux Lite) Linux that come with it. ...

So it appears that Livna isn't releasing any drivers for 2.6.26+.* while they become part of RPMFusion, which is now an issue as I can't seem to get previous versions of the kernel after Fedora changed their signing keys - specifically 2.6.25.14-69 which yum tries to bump me up to: [root@twoodles ~]# yum install kmod-fglrx-2.6.25.6-27* ...

Here is the situation: the customer machine is a Dell Inspiron 6400 running Fedora Core 9 installed from the i686 Live CD (not x86_64 as the T2400 Core Duo did not have 64-bit support). The customer wireless adapter is a ENCORE ENUWI-N USB 2.0 802.11n Wireless Adapter. My question is, how do I make this USB-wireless work with this lapt...
I've just performed a new installation of the very latest (Fall, 2008) version of Fedora 9 Linux and am perplexed that it never set the default route properly and that even traveling the labyrinthine ways of this OS, there's no obvious way. Of course, it's clear that one can do it on a one-off basis like this: route add default gw g...
I am currently in a course that is using OpenGL and I have been using C for all the programs so far. I have Python installed on Fedora as well as OpenGL however the minute I call an OpenGL command in my Python code I get a segmentation fault. I have no idea why this is.

I have just installed VMWare Server 2.0 on a fresh Fedora Core 8 install. The ports for the web access console of VMWare are 8222 and 8333 (like the defaults). When I try a remote http access to myserver:8222 it fails. But when I run /sbin/service iptables stop access becomes possibles (although not very satisfactory). Thus, I have u...
Hello all, I have this command that I run everyday via cron: find /home/get/public_html/videos -daystart -maxdepth 0 -mtime +1 -type f -name "*.flv" |xargs rm -f The problem is that it doesn't delete the .flv files in a directory that are 1 or more days old.

I have Fedora 9 installed on my PC. I used to have problems hooking on to the broadband (over ethernet). In a forum someone had suggested that I could disable NetworkManager and have a ifup eth0 entry in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local script. After I did that things have been ok to browse from the browsers. However, when I tried to run a yum upda...

I have an Amazon EC2 instance using the Amazon-supplied Fedora 8 64-bit AMI, which I would like to upgrade to Fedora 10.

This seemed to work fine and I see that I now have the fc10 kernel installed, and all of my installed packages have also been updated...

When I...

I've created a custom Amazon AMI (Fedora) runs a few scripts and then shuts down. The problem with AMI's is that if my code changes there has to be a way for the AMI instance to get the latest scripts before it executes them. I wrote a shell script & put it in /etc/init.d/nt_startup To keep the code up to date, I execute a "git pull...

Hello, I am running a wiki server for my group at work and recently moved it to a Fedora 8 OS.
