My suspicions were correct, I screwed something up when I tried to use the driver from nVIDIA.com, I'm sure we would have gotten it fixed eventually but a wipe and reinstall was much faster. Anyone else having issues with installing a nVIDIA card/driver, follow the very good HowTo on this site AND DO NOTHING ELSE!!! if it's not in the howto, there's a reason, as I found out. Not that that's to say there's not other...

Hi Actually, I don't have disconnections any more after a reboot of my router ( there was an firmware update) and a few kernel and Network Manager updates from fedora I didn't test the live CD; if disruptions occur again, I would test that solution Thank you for your help BBfuller

Alright. I had to download those 5 files on another computer, but I got the files copied over and entered the first command. After I rebooted, it gives a second option on my boot menu, both for Fedora 11 kernel 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.x86_64. However, both options still produce the same two-line error that I've been experiencing. As for the second command, this is what I get: Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Error: Cannot retrieve repository...

Mirroring Setup for failover

1) Yes 2) I'm not going to map out a step by step, but it's possible and pretty easy through the graphical installer (Anaconda). If you have access to some sort of virtualization solution for testing and so forth, try loading up a VM with two disks and run through a dry-run install first. 3) RAID1 theoretically protects you from hard drive failure but it doesn't protect you from user error, admin error, software bugs, etc. So...

Hello socratien Well, as we discussed, trying your computer against another access point would be a good way to settle that question.

Grub woes after CentOS 5.4 install besides existing Fedora 11
Hi,
this or similar has probably been thousand times asked and answered here,
and for a moderately experienced Linux user like me
this really shouldn't have happened.

You can edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and remove rhgb from the kernel command lines.

I suggest making a new copy of the install DVD and try booting from it or try burning a new copy from a different burner and see what you get.

When I have display issues like that I move xorg.conf to _xorg.conf and restart X (switch to run level 3 and back to 5).
Forces system to create a new xorg.conf.
Probably not the recommended solution but worked for me so far and you can always put the _xorg.conf back.

How are you trying to install it? Why that is a tar file?
Fedora 10 will be end of life soon.
Have you tried?:
Code:
su -
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
I'm using Fedora 11, I get:
Code:
[root@kiriyamablevins ~]# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

Yes, you can install Fedora 10 again like you did before. The presence of the busted Fedora 11 system will not matter. If you like, you can also delete the Fedora 11 partitions in advance using your favorite partition manager. But that's not necessary. If you choose the partition option "Create custom layout", you can use the disk druid in Anaconda to reformat and reuse the Fedora 11 partitions ...

Actually, just define a backup server - it will copy the files from the primary.
If you have all of the software installed:
/usr/lib/yp/ypinit -s master

Did you install the nvidia proprietary drivers? It sounds like X is trying to start but cant find the driver module.
try this: when your system is booting and gets to the grub menu. highlight the kernel you want to boot, hit e, then highlight the kernel line and hit e again. scroll to the end of that line and add a space and a 3. press enter to temporarily save it and press b. Your ...

Hello d8nnii
When you run from the live cd it's almost exactly the same as running from an installed version.
All you would do is get the file you downloaded in post #4 to your computer somehow and then follow through the rest of the steps in that post.
Following up if necessary with the command in post #6.
To get the terminology right, for I might have been a bit casual, you ...

I have exchanged my hard drives in two of my servers (to move the e-mail server to a faster set of hardware). The OSs involved were Centos 5.3 and Fedora 8. In both cases upon the next restart new drivers were automatically installed for the different hardware as applicable, and the machines worked as before.
But maybe I was lucky. I don't use any esoteric hardware, only standard stuff. ...
