I will assume that is available as a debian pkg and I'll assume I would get it if I'm running the sid or woody version? I won't know much till I resolve the connection problems with my cable modem and get my Linux box talking to their dhcp server. I might be on track, but won't know till this weekend as I have to sit down and do some fresh installing as my hacking probably has messed up some stuff.<grin> The issue might be that my modem wasn't getting connected to their server, but they claim they can ping it now so will have to wait and see if this does it. If not I'll switch to plan X once I figure out what X will be.<grin> tnx Oh, is theer some document that will explain what I need to read that will get me up to speed on how it works , how to configure stuff etc. perhaps.

* Re: two more questions about gnome? ` Scott Howell @ ` Kenny Hitt ` Gnome for redhat 9 Sina Bahram ` two more questions about gnome? Alex Snow 1 sibling, 1 reply; 32+ messages in thread From: Kenny Hitt @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi. I'm afraid there aren't any "official" Debian packages for Gnome 2.4. Woody ships with Gnome 1.44. There are back ports of Gnome 2.2 for Woody, but I haven't seen any 2.4 packages for Woody. Sid still has Gnome 2.2 until Sarge gets all the Gnome 2.2 packages. Once Gnome 2.2 gets into Sarge, the developers plan to start uploading Gnome 2.4 to Sid. There is an unofficial set of Gnome 2.4 packages for Sid, but I haven't tried them. I don't know of a doc that explains it all in one file. Once you're back up, drop by the reflector and Gene or I can help you get it working.

* RE: Gnome for redhat 9 ` Ryan Mann @ ` Sina Bahram ` White, Matt 0 siblings, 1 reply; 32+ messages in thread From: Sina Bahram @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Ok, I did that, but now I have a few problems. I got apt4rpm. I ran apt-get and upgraded the packages, and installed all the latest stuff it had to offer. However when I type apt-get install gnome I get an error saying that while gnome was found in the database it can not be installed. Now I read another message on here about changing a line in my sources.list file, but this is a little difficult for me to do because of my unfamiliarity with text editers like VI. I tried ftping the file to an ftp I have access too, then downloading it onto my windows box, changing the appropriate line, and then uploading it back; however, as expected the file didn't work when I tried apt-get install gnome It said some error on a line, which I gathered to simply be a difference in line breaks or any other linux/windows incompatibility. So is there anyway I can get this sources.list file, from an ftp, since I can use ftp when I ssh into the box I'm trying to install gnome on. Sorry if this is unclear, and I am extremely fustraited at myself, since if I had to do something like this in windows, it would take me the all of three seconds or less *sigh*. But I'm willing to do whatever, so please let me know.

* RE: Gnome for redhat 9 ` Sina Bahram @ ` White, Matt ` Sina Bahram ` Sina Bahram 0 siblings, 2 replies; 32+ messages in thread From: White, Matt @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup The best fix for this problem is to learn something like vi; here are a few tips. To open a file for editing, type vi /etc/apt/sources.list obviously substituting the appropriate path for this file. Next, press escape so you are in the right mode. You can use your arrow keys to navigate around the vi screen. If you want to insert text where the cursor is, press i and type what you want. Press escape when done so you get out of edit mode. To delete a character at the cursor position, press x. This should give you enough to edit a basic file. Press escape when done and type :wq and press enter to write the file and then quit. The vi man page has a basic overview of commands that are useful several pages down. The commands are a bit odd but once you are used to them, it becomes second nature.

As for your dhcp problem, you should run dhcpcd which you should definitely have if you are running a Redhat box. Sometimes when you are switching from a WINDBLOWS machine to a linux box on comcast you need to unplug your cable modem for about 45 minutes and try again. Then try the following command: dhcpcd -d -n -H Note the uppercase H. That has always worked for me.

Assuming your cd-writer is setup properly (see the cd-writing HOWTO), you can use cdrecord to burn the cd under GNU/Linux. See the cdrecord man page to find out what options are available, and how to specify your burner device.

Alex Snow @ ` Scott Howell 0 siblings, 0 replies; 32+ messages in thread From: Scott Howell @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup The incredible thing is they were actually trying to do their level best to help me out. They even took time thismorning to make sure the dns server I'm accessing can resolve linux-speakup.org correctly. Kirk was kind enough to give me a directory path I could get the base file for my Debian install as the Debian site doesn't seem to have what I need. Couldn't get this working so had Adelphia verify things were ok with their dns server. Well they were a bit slow in getting some issues resolved, but they made an effort and got it going. Actually although they don't directly support LInux, they got folks who know Linux and they dont' get all bent if you mention your using it. Ay I can't be to hard on them as their contractor who did the install made a mess like leaving cable clipings on the floor two feet from the trash can and tracked mud into my house which pistoff the wife for sure. They waved all install fees which is more than I really expected from them and they didn't even argue and were very interested in hearing what I had to say. Now lets see how they continue to perform. Oh yes I was able to get things working with dhcp so now to get the base stuff installed. Scott ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 32+ messages in thread
