How do I go about installing tightvnc on my fedora linux box so i can log in to the x server through my windows machine?

Beej: Hi, everybody!

All: Hi, Doctor Beej!

Beej: Actually, I'm NOT REALLY A DOCTOR!

All: Gasp!

Beej: Hehe! Just kidding!

All: Ahahha!

Man 1: Oh, Doctor Beej, you're TOO FUNNY!

 

^^

Beej's shameless plug.

 

So, yea. Hi, ya'll. I live Fedora. I literally LIVE it. It rocks. Just thought I'd throw in my two cents.

Yes, I play teh CS.

I'm sure you've all seen that McDonald's commercial with the doodz on blades playing basketball, right?

WELL, you ain't seen the Xtreme Tennis League!

WOOT! We consist of 2 players to a team, a Smacker (server) and a Front. And it's on rollerblades. We even modified tennis rackets and such. KICKASS!

Hi, I have recently downloaded a program called partimage (A clone of ghost) I am looking for some information on making and image of my linux drive. Also if you know of a different way to create an image that would be great the software doesn't really matter only createing the image does :)

Here's my problem :

I can enable TwinView in multiple ways. That is, cloneview, separate desktops, clone using nvtv ( [/url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/nv-tv-out ) and probably a host of other ways. But, in all other ways than nvtv, X will hang when shutting down.

 

My system is : P4@2GHz, 512mb ddr266, 2xwdc120se hdd's, nVIDIA GeForce Ti4200 128mb 4xAGP

Fedora Core1 linux.

 

TV output will work just fine when enabled. I start into X without problems what so ever. (The quality of the output is actually WAY superior to the output Win XP will do) But, shutting down the comp with on/off button can't be good to my system, so if I cannot get this to work my only option will be to use Win for tv-output.

 

I've installed the closed source drivers from nvidia. I've done this in multiple ways.

I've used the tuned fedora kernels + nvidia libs for these (all found in synaptic under System/Kernel), I've used regular kernels without mod. and the libs for those as well. So far just two different closed source drivers. Planning on running down the drivers all the way back 'till twinview linux support started. I've also installed support for nvidia drivers in X via synaptic.

Dunno if all these support-thingies I've dl'ed in synaptic are included in the drivers, but I've also tried without them - with exactly the same results.

 

What I now need to know are three things:

A. Have these things happened elsewhere as well? (That is, is this on account of faulty equipment?)

B. Is there a way to turn (on)/off tv output realtime within X? (This problem seems to occur only when tv-output is enabled. I can for instance run twinview with two monitors (allthough another monitor is not connected), and X will shut down nicely. NVTV with tvoutput turned on will not hurt X either, but NVTV is in development, and a nice tool; but still not what I need in terms of overall quality and useability.

C. Can X be started in such a way that it will not react to any errors it encounter? In this way f*cking the X part, but allowing linux to perform shutdown tasks, so as to not harm my system.

 

Additional info :

When shutting down X, tv-output will turn off. Monitor res. changes a couple of times - restarting the monitor at a given res. but there will be stripes showing (a dark, dark shade of grey - hardly visible) and the system hangs there. I've tried letting the comp stay on for half an hour after X shutdown - on turning the comp off I will still get a message about the system shutting down uncleanly, so there's nothing going on behind the black screen.

To shut down X I've tried different ways : ctrl-alt-bs , ctrl-alt-del, init 3, reboot(ctrl-alt-del) so on and so forth, all these things will generate the same results.

 

Any suggestions? I've seen from my g00gling that this is a bad habit of Mandrake's as well, allthough the fixes applied there includes cutting off twin view support, plus they'll not be applicable in Fedora as the files that need modifying are different.

 

This one really drives me up the walls.

My XF86Config by the way :

I think my isp(comcast) blocks port 25, this makes setting up my mail server kinda difficult. No-ip offer a service called port reflecting or sumthing to that effect. I don't really wanna pay for that though, it's not expensive , im just poor. Does anyone know of any kind of workaround for this ? I really wanted to have my computer acting as my mail server.

later,

Hey, I'm completely retarded and have no idea what I'm doing. I managed to install Fedora on an older machine I had. After firing it up I realized that I had no idea what was going on, so I reinstalled it with the GUIs. Anyway, I boot up my machine (Fedora, Yarrow, KDE) and eth0 comes up as OK.

 

When eth0 comes up as OK I cannot ping outside websites or IPs. I can ping my XP box which is on a hub with the Fedora box. My XP box can ping the Fedora box. My ISP gives my 2 IPs, so using a hub shouldn't be a problem (I've had successful concurrent connections... XBox, 98box).

 

In the Network Configuration window it shows eth0 as active, but has nothing in DNS or Hosts. It seems to me the DHCP is working in terms of getting an IP, but it doesn't look like the machine is asking for DNS information.

 

I'm sure I just started some stupid service, or didn't start some obvious service. I don't know what information you guys need to help me out. I'm in #Fedora right now on EFnet.

 

Thanks for your suggestions.

I just started playing with html and stuff and wanted to make a link to linuxnoob from my site. But alack no lcool little graphic for my page. time to learn gimp. tada. came out pretty decent, rather simplistic,linux noob logo over some blue an grey cammo effects. look cool on dark backgrounds. hope you guys like it.

have fun
