  1. Internet, Freezing, Drivers, Looking At Other Partitions?

    in Linux & Unix

    Posted

    Let's get the basics out of the way. Open a terminal window and enter ifconfig. You should get a list of network interfaces. Your NIC should be named 'eth0' or some such. If it's missing or misconfigured that's your problem :) If it looks fine... someone will think of something.

    Hmm k *Writes it down*

    What kind of video card?

    Radeon

    What kind of, um, distro? NTFS is supported read-only but not every distro includes the module (driver). If the module is available, you can

     $ sudo mount -t ntfs -o ro $DEVICE $MOUNT_POINT

    where $DEVICE is the partition you want to mount (e.g. /dev/hda1) and $MOUNT_POINT is the directory you want to the partition mounted on (e.g. /media/hda1). (The -t and -o options probably aren't required, but I threw them in on the off chance.)

    Im using ubuntu, hope that works.

    Ha, im back with more stupid questions,

    First, hmm my connection doesn't seem to work 0_o,

    Second about 45mins in i was just messing around seeing what i could do and it froze -_-, i waited 15mins and in the end i had to shut off power my computer (Not cool)

    Third, Video Card Drives? When, Where, How?

    And last, can i look at my NTFS partitions and read files from them?

    Connection: Im using DSL ISP: SBC-Yahoo

    Freezing: Yeah it froze out of nowhere, i wasn't doing anythi....wait on second thought i was trying to open my DVD-Drive (which never opened btw -_-) befor it completly froze it was freezing for a few seconds, and come back for afew mins...then it'd only come back for a few seconds, and then completly.

    Drivers for video card: Um...ill google this so you can prolly ignore it, but help is always welcome =P

    NTFS: This is importent because i dont really want to have 2copies of my music...documents and vidoes.

    I was just messing around with it, and i got it to boot to the GUI, i just looked in my settings in windows and found my video card in PCI:1:10:0 and loaded up the liveCD waited for it to error, got to a termenial and typed...

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and changed the PCI from PCI:0:1:0

    to PCI:1:10:0, and then startx, um...well obivously this isn't gonna work with the LiveCD causing doing that everytime is stupid, but once i get my new HDD (Hopfuly tomm) and install Unbuntu once i change it, it should stay changed yeah?

    Thanks for the help ^^ and as im (Hopfully) going to be diving into Linux soon ill prolly annoy you again soon >_<

    Lol, ok so about 6months ago i was like, YEAH! ima dual boot linux! w00tness, and i gave up because i had some weird problems and noone could help me on the Ubuntu forums (Cause thats the distro i wanna use) but so now, im really tired of windows, for everyday task and i really wanna move over, to linux, well Dual boot it, anyways so i tried the live CD and i got some weird X-server Error(Graphical Interface), i posted onthe Ubuntu forums and some tried to help me, what i was told to do didn't work and i got an Vesa Drive Error, and Safe mode doesn't work and then i was told that

    "it seems that your xorg.conf is not pointing to the right PCI Bay

    go to the bios and try to find out in which bay is the card ,

    for example mine is in PCI:3:0:0 instead of PCI:1:0:0"

    i have no idea what that means so i asked how'd i'd do it and i got this response

    "try to get a console

    then as su edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf

    look for a line that says (in the Section "Device")

    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

    and comment it,then

    #startx"

    And im still pretty lost 0-o on what exactly im suppos to do, any help would be great,

    Link to the thread i had over there is here.
