xen error

Hi Folks,

I’ve searched throught this board and noticed a few folks have had this problem…Mine
started after installing an ethernet card….Screen came up blue…..”Registry file
failure. The registry cannot load the hive file System Root\System32\Config\Software

I found this apparent fix when booting from the Windows XP cd….
Quote:
Do you have a XP CD? If so, boot into the recovery console from it and type the following:

cd system32
cd config
ren software software.bak
ren system system.bak
cd ..
cd ..
cd repair
copy software c:\windows\system32\config
copy system c:\windows\system32\config

This restores XP to brand new. You have all data, but a fresh registry. Whatever
you do, DON’T REBOOT UNTIL YOU’RE DONE WHATEVER YOU’RE DOING!!! It will probably
die again.

End of Quote

The problem is that I’m not that great with computers and I followed the wording
EXACTLY…After the first entries I come to
“ren software software.bak” which after I have changed to the Config directory says
“the system cannot find the file or directory specified…I think I’m missing something
here…I just typed “cd..” like it said etc..and it said the same thing..Can someone
clarify EXACTly how this should be typed in in the recovery part of the cd? I also
note it says copy software c:\windows\system32\config
….I have Xp on a d drive (the recovery mode notes the file as D:WinXP
So I assume I should type “d:\winxp\system32 etc….instead?

I have 2 hard drives..the first being a tiny 540k which runs Win95 in emergencies
like this but is pretty useless otherwise…Can someone sort this out for me or suggest
other fixes for this dreaded registry problem…Very depressing..

Thank you for your time.

Kevin

nvu and fedora 6

mkdir ~/nvu

cd nvu

wget ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/freshrpms/fedora/linux/testing/4/nvu/nvu-1.0-0.1.i386.rpm

sudo rpm -ivh –nosignature nvu-1.0-0.1.i386.rpm

Install Microsoft Truetype Fonts

http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/

You have to make the RPM using the obove site. For convenience I have created the RPM (please do not link directly to this file):
msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm

[mirandam@charon ~]$ sudo rpm -ivh msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm
[mirandam@charon ~]$ sudo /etc/init.d/xfs restart

Restarting xfs may not be necessary. Many programs need only to be restarted. Some older applications, may require you to log out of Gnome or KDE and log back in (reboot NOT required).

Mini Fedora 6 Manual How To

Dual Screen Fedora Core

I got fglrx driver working at last. Steps:

  • Installed kmod-fglrx and xorg-x11-drv-fglrx from Livna repository:
    Code:
    yum install kmod-fglrx xorg-x11-drv-fglrx
  • Added these lines to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
    Code:
    Section “Extensions” Option “Composite” “Disable” EndSection
  • Ran the command
    Code:
    ati-fglrx-config-display enable
    xorg.confxorg.confxorg.confxorg.confxorg.conf

The only problems are that if to use Alt-Tab to switch between windows then the content of windows are not shown - the whole window is black; and if to minimize a window then it shows black boxes when the window “moves to the taskbar”. Also upper window corners with default Clearlooks theme are not rounded - it shows corners too.

Ejemplo click aqui xorg.conf

Tengo 2 tarjetas de sonido, la VIA Realtek que trae la motherboard y una sblive

para que en ALSA la configuración de sonido sea por default con sblive hay que hacer un cambio
vi /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 via-rhine
alias eth1 tulip

alias snd-card-1 snd-via82xx
options snd-card-1 index=1
options snd-via82xx index=1
remove snd-via82xx { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 1 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r –ignore-remove snd-via82xx

alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r –ignore-remove snd-emu10k1

FreeNX client and fedora

Free NX is the solution that MANY of us all needed:

I’m on a windows or linux box, and need to remote control another linux box… securely… over ssh only… SSL secure… oh, and with GUI too!

Enter NX…

Server Setup:

On your linux box (nx server)

Open terminal, and su to root

CODE
yum install freenx

guess what - that’s it! The yum install does ALL the config for you!

You should only need to copy the client.id_dsa.key from /etc/nxserver to your client,
then properly import the key into the client setup

Client Setup:

Windows Box

Download the Windows client from www.nomachine.com
Install - take defaults all the way through.

Linux (Fedora core 5, 6)

download linux client from www.nomachine.com
remember where you saved the file - I saved mine here: /home/dan/nxclient/

open terminal and su to root:

CODE
yum localinstall nxclient*.rpm

You have to do it this way, because of dependency issues - it took me forever to figure this one out - you can’t install just by rpm -ivh …

that’s it, now config the clients…

Client Configuration (Win & Nix):

The Session wizard:

CODE

Session name: what ever you want to call it…
Host: IP address or DNS name of your server
Port: 22
Internet connection - slide to your speed
Next>


CODE

Drop down boxes:
Right one is Unix
Left one - depends on you desktop environment - choose KDE or Gnome
Size of your remote desktop: select your resolution
**** Check the box for Enable SSL encryption of all traffic ****
Next>


CODE

Check the box for Advanced Configuration dialog
Finish>

Advanced Configuration dialog:

CODE

Click the “Key” button, then Import.
Browse to the client.id_dsa.key file you got from your server setup.
Save>
Save>

fedora core 6

Fedora Core 6 fue liberada después de varias demoras. Ayer lo instalé en mi laptop y hoy terminé de configurar un par de cosas que quedaban pendientes. A continuación un resumen de mi experiencia, con algunos consejos.

Configuración de sudo

El programa sudo nos permite ejecutar comandos administrativos sin necesidad de haber ingresado como root. Para configurarlo es necesario hacer lo siguiente:

su -
nano /etc/sudoers

Busca la línea:

“root ALL=(ALL) ALL”

Debajo de esa línea debes agregar otra igual, pero cambiando “root” por tu nombre de usuario. Luego grabas (Ctrl+O y luego enter) y sales del programa (Ctrl+X). Finalmente cerramos la sesión de root con el comando “exit”.

Ahora, cada vez que quieras ejecutar un comando que requiera privilegios de root, simplemente escribe “sudo” antes del comando y el sistema te pedirá la clave de tu usuario (NO la del root).

Configuración de repositorios

Fedora Core 6 ya viene con los repositorios Base, Updates y Extras preconfigurados. Es decir, tenemos acceso inmediato a más de 4.000 paquetes RPM con todo tipo de software. Sin embargo, algunos programas no pueden ser incluidos en los repositorios oficiales por problemas de licencias. Por ello es recomendable agregar un repositorio no-oficial llamado Livna. La forma de hacerlo es:

sudo rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/6/i386/livna-release-6-1.noarch.rpm

Otro repositorio no-oficial muy útil es KDE-RedHat, que provee paquetes RPMs mejorados del escritorio KDE y varios programas adicionales. Si quieres instalar KDE 3.5.5, es indispensable que configures este repositorio (en los repositorios oficiales sólo está KDE 3.5.4). La forma de hacerlo es:

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
sudo wget http://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/fedora/kde.repo

Tarjeta inalámbrica Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG

El kernel de Fedora Core 6 ya incluye el driver necesario para hacer funcionar esta tarjeta inalámbrica. Sin embargo, el firmware no puede ser distribuido por problemas de licencia. Afortunadamente, es posible descargar el firmware fácilmente desde el repositorio Livna, de esta forma:

sudo yum install ipw2200-firmware
