It had options of Dell 1390 wifi card or Intel 3945. I took Intel card as I had heard about problems with dell wifi card . Also it has Nvidia 8400 graphics card. I installed fedora 7 on it. The graphical install did not work, nor did the installer recognise my dvd drive. So I performed a text based install from USB HDD which had images for Fedora 7 DVD. After installing , it booted to runlevel 3 . where I set xorg driver to vesa and got GUI. Then I installed nvidia drivers from livna.org . All worked fine except the dvd drive and intel wifi card. So I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.22_41 and dvd drive is now working. I have also got wireless working with dkms-ipw3945 drivers from Freshrpms. So I have pretty much all setup on this lappy including the sound and integrated webcam, if anyone wants any more notes , or if anyone's planning to buy these dell laptops I would say its really safe to get these coz pretty much everything works. -- The Future is Open...The Future is LINUX Linux aniket.myftp.org 2.6.22-41.fc7 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Fedora 7

Linux Compatible Laptop
by Rony Bill 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Dear All, Today at a client's place I had set up a wireless router and tried Ubuntu 7.04 live CD on his Dell XPS M1210 lappy. It not only gave the usual laptop grade Desktop with sound but I clicked on a network icon with a cross on the task bar and it showed the surrounding wireless network. On clicking it I got the interface to enter the 128 bit key and my net was up and running. Bang out of the box. Thanks to the preloaded Vista, the customer will himself download the CD iso from Ubuntu. The wireless network card in the lappy is some Intel one. Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Want ideas for reducing your carbon footprint? Visit Yahoo!

funny characters on cli login
by Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi, I'm using Kubuntu feisty. For some reason, I cannot login to the gui because, /dev/null is created w/ 600 perms. And yes the relevant line in /etc/udev.d/rules does mention /dev/null having 666 perms. Supposedly this is a problem w/ udev. My workaround at the moment is to hit ctrl-alt-f2, login, chmod /dev/null, ctrl-alt-f7 and then I can login to the gui. This needs to be done at every boot. I have 'cn' aliased to sudo chmod 666 /dev/null. Saves some typing :). Now to come to my problem. I inadvertantly hit ctrl-n at the prompt and now the login prompt at the cli is displayed in weird characters. It's like when you type something in wordprocessor and then change to font to wingdings or something. How do I get my normal login prompt back ? many thanks, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri.

Sudoers confusion
by Nachiketa Sadhu नचिकेता सा धु 21 Aug '07

21 Aug '07

Hi, I have put in the /etc/sudoers file the following line: sadhu ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/yumex I was expecting that when logged in as user "sadhu" I will be rum yumex without authentication, but it still asks for root authentication when I try to run yumex. Can you please refer me to the correct sudoers syntax or to a how-to. Thanks and regards. sadhu

No issue with version 0.5.0-6, since Debian consider last - (dash) as Debian revision number. Cheers, Kartik

Well, as a sidenote, please note that upstream always avoid '-' (dash) in version scheme :) This will make me difficult to create Debian/Ubuntu packages :( Cheers, -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Kartik Mistry || GPG: 0xD1028C8D || IRC: kart_ kartikmistry.org/blog || kartikm.wordpress.com -----------------------------------------------------------
