I also tend to keep the os off the raid volume and then clone using clonezilla or partimage to make a bare-metal recovery 4 - I would probably use RHEL or CentOS for this server rather than have to deal with the churn of many upgrades using Fedora. I like Fedora for Desktop and specialty server types but not a network backbone system.

Re: fedora 9 and an nvidia 7200gs video card
Don Raikes wrote: Hi all, I have fedora 9 installed on my gateway desktop and it was working fine except for the fact that my video card died. I just installed a new nvidia 7200gs card (the nvidia 84000gs card wouldn't fit). Now when I try to run gnome, I get a message saying no devices were found. I am assuming I need to install some drivers, but cannot find any for linux 32-bit. Does anyone know where those pesky drivers are? First login in runtime 3 and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf The line Containing should be changed to Driver vesa (no quotes needed) Now you reboot (or restart X) and login, you will be able to run an X environment, but you will nog have any drm or 3d support For that download your driver at : http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us yum install kernel-devel and then run the file downloaded from nvidia I seem never to have any luck being able to use the standard yum procedure, the above works always for me, but adds more work as you need to do this every time your kernel changes -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Oh well I also discovered that it helps to make sure the card itself is firmly seated in the pci slot. I opened the case up again this morning and made sure it was seated firmly, and reran /sbin/lspci and this time it showed the nvidia geforce 72 card :-) I manually edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf and changed the driver from radeon to vesa and now I can at least get into gnome using startx. As I mentioned earlier you will not be able to run 3D appls (no OpenGL or very slow) and no desktop effects The vesa driver is a generic driver that works for all vesa compliant cards, which means 99.99% of the cards on normal pc's or laptops Wouldn't it be just better to use the rpmfusion packaged ones. And I even remember there have been mentioned on this list that the driver directly from nvidia can break things in your system. snip I have never had problems with rpmfusion drivers except that they usually update for the new kernel day or two later than it's out for fedora, but I have been able to live with that. And as extra benefit you can just uninstall them with yum when there is some problems. As stated by previously, I always run into problems with kmod packages (maybe they do not like me?), they never install properly and end up killing my system Anyway I have never had any problems with this procedure, I do the same for ATI drivers, it is easier for me and leaves me the choice which version I will use, as I download there version and compile it myself I even have had problems with the iwl3945 (at the time it was not in the kernel), but yes it is more convenient to just yum it. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

All the computers on our SOHO network had static addresses in the 192.168.0.1-9 range with netmask of 255.255.255.0 and all worked fine for ages. Now I have a Linksys gateway which has a default address of 192.168.1.1 for configuration. It works fine as a DSL router but I cannot use a browser to access the configuration. All I get is An error occurred while loading http://192.168.1.1: Could not connect to host. Pinging returns Destination Host Unreachable. I changed the netmask for the ethx device to 255.255.0.0 but this made no difference. What have I forgotten? This is pretty normal. Many routers are set to 192.168.1.1. The simple way to deal with it is to change the ip of one of your boxes to 192.168.1.x and use that box to access the router. Then you will be able to change the router address to 192.168.0.1. Reboot. You must then change your box back to 192.168.0.x From then on your router can be configured through your normal browser without problems. Anne maybe easier is to use the builtin dhcp to configure the router then go back to static as explained here above -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
