Does not your modem support ethernet? Then it should be as simple as plug in and assign IP/or use DHCP.inflater wrote:LOL I've successfully managed to run my ADSL modem inside Kubuntu !!!

My modem supports ethernet , but... it was a miracle it worked through libatm and eagle-usb packages... 
This modem, like another modems, isn't oficially supported for Linux though. (Based on Conexant chipset)
Yeah I am using mtdark2 theme too (kinda like BSOD-ish though), but when I was taking that screen, I was not logged in.

Linux working perfectly, just upgraded the new version of the kernel This unfortunately erased the WinXP from the GRUB boot menu, but it was only a two minute task to recover it back up.
I have heard of such program called Automatix, a program capable of downloading software, http://www.getautomatix.com/ , heard positive and also negative comments. The negative are, on www.ubuntu.sk the post-installation process is informing that Automatix will clobber your Linux system... I preinstalled Linux like three times wondering why
, ...
Any ideas about this program? Can it really damage the kernel?

You should always use the Ethernet (RJ-45) connector on modems, As it's far more reliable then using the USB interface & associated drivers..inflater wrote:My modem supports ethernet
You might even receive a performance increase by using your OS's native PPPoE client.. (Assuming that's the protocol your ISP uses..)

So, I remembered trying for compiling the Tempest for Eliza or 3D Filesystem Browser in cygwin ... so I downloaded SDL source, and ran the configure script:
When trying to apt-get install binutils, it says the latest version is already installed on my system... Kinda noob questions, but what should I do next? I have taken the config.log in the attachment.
In the log, it complains about crt1.o:

Binutils is only the assembler and linker etc. From your config.log, it seems that gcc is installed, but not its startup files...perhaps you should try
Code: Select all
apt-get install gccPosted: Sat Sep 08, 2007 8:28 pm
Code: Select all
apt-get install build-essential

Got it working by installing libc6-dev package . Through Synaptic. I then downloaded some binaries, and tested - for example, compiz-fusion. It was like Windows Vista , but I do not need overactive system with amazingly smooth 3D desktop , I am fully satisfied with GNOME itself (or KDE style or WinXP style, or Win98 style, etc etc.)
But... I tried to download SDL and compile it; any SDL program would output this:
First I disabled the proprietary NVIDIA driver, restarted system, didnt work. Enabled it back again, of course it wouldnt work. So I fired up Synaptic, removed SDL and reinstalled it back again as binaries, nothing except this message. So I set the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable to "x11", nothing. I tried another program based on SDL, zugga. Also I tried to "xhost + localhost" or running the program under root privileges, still nothing... I googled and found these troubleshootings above, but they didnt solved my problem...
Anybody knows what I am doing wrong? You see, I tried almost everything. Should I google more, or ask in ubuntu forums?

Oh, never mind, I have downloaded every library that has the "x11-dev" name in it, and recompiled SDL from source. . It would be a shame if I would not post some of the screenshots... 
So,
One thing I discovered is, that DosBox runs better on Linux than Win32!
Screen of TDFSB: 3D Filesystem Browser:
Actually I was on my NTFS partition listening to my favorite MP3's using this program.
I also compiled successfully Tempest for Eliza and its MP3 support, but I do not have much time to plug in my old dusty CRT monitor to check it out

@inflater, you are now a linux geek, you will be doing a full kernel recompile or your own distro soon .

Or should I use Tux like piranha or Alboin are having? //EDIT: I tried today to build my own gramaphone using my homemade "air conditioner" ... a CPU fan in a box.
, also, with two screwdrivers, one big screw thing, chemical glue and superglue, and a frisbee along with an ordinary (damaged), school drawing compass. My attempt to build an chassis capable of spinning 33 1/3 RPM or any other speed, failed. The big screw hit me in the face when plugging the CPU fan (as a motor) to the mains, and it was only 3 volts! Well... time to find a strong motor with the long and thin rotor thing where I could attach the frisbee to (for spinning ). At least the needle+speaker thing is done I wonder how would these vinyl records sound, with my unique recordplayer Regards

Didn't read through this entire thing, but:
In fact, if your just starting with linux, try one of the versions you can install right onto your windows partition, and that use a special boot floppy to expand the image and load from there. 100% working system with no data loss.
All linux distros ( That I'm aware of ) have issues of one kind or another with NTFS. Reading is usually fine, but writting can have some issues, especially with 2.4 kernels using the older NTFS libs.
Not true. Several smaller linux distros install just fine onto a fat32 partition, some as expanding images, others as tree based permissions ( which do slow down HD access by a couple of ticks ).I don't think you can install Linux or any Unix-like system on a FAT32 file system.. It will lack file permissions amongst other things.
