is anyone here a fan of Massively Mulitplayer Online Role Playing Games? blizzard in in beta stages of World of Warcraft, and the server is running linux. they are developing the client for windows and mac (OSX), so it wouldn't be much trouble creating a linux port (expecially since they have been r...

now, i have no problem mounting my 40gb maxtor external harddrive (sometimes /dev/sda1), or my 128mb usb flashdrive (sometimes /dev/sdb1), but i can't mount an SD card reader (i assumed /dev/sdc1, but i have tried changing the device letter and number, in many combinations, and it didn't find such a...

although I don't know how/why sda1 is the correct device. i just read something recently that finaly explained why usb devices are sdx...it has to do with linux recognising scsi devices, and when usb devices were introduced they decided to put it under the same device name vfat would probibly be th...

cool


it even looks like i won't have to manually compile my kernel! doing less work to install drivers seems like a bonus to me

well, as far as using Nvidia drivers on my desktop, which distro would be the easiest to use? i have RH8, RH9, and Slackware 9.0 readily availible. i guess i'll just to a duel boot of FC2 and some other distro. i think i installed drivers a loong time ago in RH8 on the same system i remember there b...

hmm..it worked. i'm sure i could have done something other than reboot the entire system, but restarting X didn't help at all (ctrl-alt-backspace). i'm just dumbfounded that i had to restart to get something working again. that's too much like windows to be linux! delete this thread please, it is us...

i have just got done installing fedora core 2 on my desktop computer athlon 2600 512 ddr pc 2700 ram 160gb hda, 80gb hdb geforce 4 ti 4200 Fedora Core 2, running Gnome 2.6 i always have two panels in gnome, and i have never had any trouble with them. not even on my laptop where i have the exact same...

running FC2 here and after editing /etc/sysctl.conf, nothing changed. ultimately i just want to play a wmv file, http://www.sorethumbz.com/swg/request.php?2, that someone linked to on Neworder, so first i went to apt-get. after it installed it just didn't have the wmv codec, and i instantly realized...

when i installed FC2, i set it up to automount /dev/hda3 to /win. this was when hda3 did not have anything on it, but now i just reinstalled windows and now FC2 won't boot becaue it can't mount hda3 so it drops me into a console. mounting it myself won't do any good because when i drop out of the co...

just a question...do i have to worry about optimizing for athlon if i'm just using the stock kernel (not recompiling) ?

how can i create a shortcut in a gnome panel, for example, to ~/games/nwn/nwn/nwn normally to run Neverwinter Nights i just cd ~/nwn/nwn and do ./nwn, but now as playing the game is becoming more common, i want to just add a launcher in my gnome panel. (don't ask why i have two directories named 'nw...

it's an "ATI M6-C graphics controller" that was coming off of the toshiba spec sheet i linked to. i guess it isn't a raedon. hmm... http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html i'm guessing that if they offered a driver, that it would be under 'mobile', but that just redirects you to the page i mentioned ...
