Hp Xw4300 Workstation Linux Version Advice

Hi All,

I am having RHEL 5.4 64-bit OS. When I run the command "rpm --help" I get the following error. Please help:

rpm: /usr/lib64/libpopt.so.0: no version information available (required by rpm)
rpm: /usr/lib64/libpopt.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib64/librpmbuild.so.1)

rpm: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /usr/lib64/liblua-5.1.so)

Thanks in advance.

I bought an old Thinkpad R51 (with Pentium M CPU) and have installed Linux Mint 14 which supports non-PAE CPUs.
The seller said the touchpad did'nt work any more after installing windows 7 (And the OS key was illegal).
I want it to work and found The UltraNav driver which is touchpad driver for the ThinkPad R51 at LenovoDriver.com.

I did not find a version for Linux, though. And I found this comment:
"Your ThinkPad R51′s touchpad might not operate for the reason that the touchpad is incompatible together with the operating technique installed around the laptop. That is ordinarily the case when applying an unsupported version of your Windows OS or an option OS which include Ubuntu".

I downloaded the version for Windows XP and tried to run it in the Terminal. But this is my very first day on Linux Mint (!!!) and I did not get it to work.

Is the touchpad lost forever, or does some solution exist?
Does anyone know?

Hi. I am relatively new to linux systems. I recently jumped on an endeavor to install a vanilla kernel (3.18.5) from the kernel website. Its Documentation/Changes file mentions the minimum version requirements of the packages needed. For udev, it mentioned Code:

udevd --version

to check the version number. But looking around I found for Fedora its Code:

udevadm --version

(I'm using Fedora Workstation 21 64-bit). Is there any fundamental difference between these two utilities? Any explanation would be helpful.

The local provider has given us a fixed IP so we can have a web server for the car club's domain.

I will be using a Dell 2400 desktop computer with a 1.8 GHz Pentium 4 processor, 1 GB RAM, 40 GB hard drive and a DVD drive.

I want to use command line, not GUI and FTP the club's car pictures from my home.

My only Linux experience was sparse use of Red Hat 2.05 which is now 15 years old and not secure.

If the structure and folders are the same, Can I use CentOS 5.11 or 6.6

Thank you,
people call me Cousin

Good evening;
Following instructions on-line I attempted to create a bootable USB drive (32GB Sandsik extreme) with Linux 17.1 installed to enable a trial before attempting a permanent install beside windows 7 on a new computer with Win7 prof. installed.

On the usb I see a 4.0 GB area highlighted in G Parted but not accessible from the Linux file manager. This shows up as a ~1.4 GB sub-directory titled casper. and also as 4.0 GB 'file' named casper-rw. Can anyone explain what is the purpose of this sub-directory? The software I used to create the usb bootable drive and install Linux to is 'Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.9'. This is a windows executable. My intent was to create a bootable usb drive for Linux that also contained my required hardware drivers, etc. This doesn't appear to be working 100%; although Linux 17.1 boots the nvidia hardware drivers do not appear to be available even though I downloaded these and they are on the same usb. On boot-up a message box indicates that hardware acceleration is not enabled and higher than normal processor usage may occur.

Any assistance / direction, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Regards;
Mike

Hi I'm very new here and looking for some very basic help (I think).

I've been trying to install NTFS-3G onto a old media player so I can label 4 HDD's so there always appear in the same place after booting up and viewing the samba output over my network.

I have downloaded NTFS-3g and unpacked it onto a USB stick (there are other file on it that can be removed if required).

The version of Linux is Linux version 2.6.12.6-VENUS (root@138_korsen) (gcc version 3.4.4 mipssde-6.03.01-20051114).
The version of BusyBox is BusyBox v1.1.3 (2010.07.12-08:31+0000) multi-call binary.
(I know both are old).

If I type/run fdisk -l I get the response

Disk /dev/sdb: 8024 MB, 8024752128 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 975 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 976 7836640 7 HPFS/NTFS
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(974, 254, 63) logical=(975, 158, 14)

dev/sdb1 is my usb stick and at present the only usb/hdd connected.

My problem is how on earth do I get into the usb directory and the install the program(command by command please Linux newbie very).

Any help or advice now matter how basic would be very greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

HI,
When I first joined this forum I made a fairly long synopsis of who I am and what I wanted to do with Linux. I thought I posted it but now I can not find it anywhere. No doubt I messed up somehow!

I am developing a Java stand alone application that will require some server side Java Servlets to manage the marking, registration, install and deployment phases. I have a spare Windows 7 PC that I have converted to the Debian Linux system successfully...

I currently use LunarPages as my ISP and host to 3 domains. If I use them to host my Server Side processing they use Resin 3.x for the web server and my contract with them provides me with one 'MySQL' database system...

Next on my own server I will install the Resin version that LunarPages requires along with their required version of the Java EE.

I have 3 ways to eventually deploy my Java stand alone application
1. Use LunarPages to host my Server Side Servlet command...
2. Use the Google AppEngine service...
3. Use my own Linux Server for deployment purposes...

This message is an intro and does not have any specific question yet...
Perhaps someone may offer some suggestions for me or critique my objects...

Regards,

Jim Crowell

Hello All, I am a newbie to Linux I have used computers for years & would say I'm certainly not computer illiterate, however I am completely new to Linux. Hubby & I have a netbook each & I wanted to give linux a go on them. I installed Mint 17.1 Xfce on mine & am loving it, not really having any problems. However this is not the case with hubby's netbook....which has the following spec:

eeepc 904HD
80 GB HDD
Intel Celeron M, 897 mHz (512 cache, 32 bit)
995 mb RAM
VGA - intel 915/GMS/910GML express graphic controller (rev04)

(mine has the atom processor & was shipped with windows 7 starter which I have dual booted with mint

On hubbys we have tried the following distros:
Mint 17.1
Mint 13
Lubuntu
Xubuntu
Zorin 9 lite
Bhodi 3.0.0

The problem we're experiencing with each & every distro is the mouse/touchpad freezes. In the live version all is OK, then once installed still OK...but only last for a couple of shutdowns & then the above problem kicks in. sometimes after the freeze it may work ok again the next time it is booted but not long before the freeze occurs again.....obviously xinput shows the elantech touchpad is not listed
I know it is a low spec netbook but there are many distros which claim to work on a much lower spec than this. I am not sure if this processor supports PAE as it often mentions PAE not supported on celeron M's but I also read that the pc usually needs to be pre 1995 to not support PAE & this netbook was made around 2008
I must say that most of the distros we've tried seem to be running OK until the 'freeze' put top hat on hit...so I am stumped as to what the issue is and hope some of you more experienced guys can point me in the right direction....i.e. a suitable distro for use on this eeepc netbook. My hubby does nothing fancy on the pc, he's just really browsing, skyping would be nice....OH & he is very computer illiterate....so something simple to use, fast & lightweight is all that is required.
The next distro I was going to try was leeenux linux, which is supposed to be perfect for the eeepc, but the only 2 free versions I could find is version 5.1 extended & v6 lxde SSD 2g
Many thanks in advance !!

Hi,
I work in a company where job security isnt too great at the moment, so I'd like to learn new things, the main one being Linux.

Talking to a tech guy at work he says the best bet to replicate an office environment would be Red Hat, so I would like to install Red Hat Linux Enterprise V7 but am finding it difficult to find an open source website offering a free download for it.
Does anyone have a particular website they get their Linux from at all please?

Also, excuse this very ignorant question, but I'd like to set up a server within my Vmware Workstation 10 environment, plus 3 desktops - would that need Linux Red Hat server plus Linus Red Hat desktop software?

If the above has already been answered then I will happily follow a thread that you could point me too please instead?

Thanks in anticipation,
Clank

Hi,

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, wasn't sure which was most appropriate...

I've built a Redhat 7 VM from an ISO and I've carried out various configuration on it and for some reason when I now run ip commands (for examnple 'ip addr show') I no longer get any output on screen.

Example...
[root@rhel-7-xx2 ~]# ip addr show
[root@rhel-7-xx2 ~]#

Version I'm using is:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 (Maipo)

I built another server and had the same problem and managed to fix it by yum updating all packages so it looks like a package needs to be updated but not sure which one.

If I pipe the output to a text file I can see the output okay in the file.

I have a ticket open with Redhat but it's taking a while to troubleshoot with them so thought I'd see if anyone else had seen this in the meantime...

Thanks
James
