Common FAQ's for Linux:

How do I get "x" hardware working?

Most mainstream hardware is supported under linux the big exceptions are currently some USB devices as well as "win-modems", all hardware support is provided by the "linux kernel www.kernel.org"

For supported USB devices check out www.linux-usb.org

For Win-modem support check out
www.linmodems.org

Why are my graphics so slow? I'm using a new Nvidia Card!!!11!!!

go to www.nvidia.com and download the linux driver, currently all distributions ship with a driver supplied by the X Windows project www.xfree86.org which is a generic driver that only supports 2D graphics and no acceleration.

How do I play windows based games under linux?

Free windows emulators available at www.winehq.org

Paid software geared specifically for gaming and better support for some newer games www.transgaming.com

Where can I find good software for linux?

www.freshmeat.net : www.sourceforge.net :
www.rpmfind.net :

I need software that supports Microsoft Office formats!!!!!?!?!?!

www.openoffice.org <- Free
http://wwws.sun.com/software/star/staroffice/6.0/ <- costs money

www.hancom.com <- 50.00 flat rate for a full featured and fast office suite.

What are dependencies?

A dependency speaking in terms of linux is to understand the open nature of open source.

People and companies develop libraries and frameworks that allow other developers to create software without having to write additional code, but in order to install X program it may "require" or depend on "X" library or framework in order to function.

Why does it need that? Nothing in windows is like that!

Windows doesn't use the concept of "shared libraries", atleast to the extent that Linux does. Shared libraries and software are such that when you "compile" or "build" a program from its source code that it can find the library and use it without having to build the additional library code into the program itself which allows the program to run faster with less overhead as it dynamically loads the libraries when they are needed, a good reference for windows users is the "dll" its essrnetially the same concept but on a much larger scale amongst alot of programs and libraries.

I'm confused whats the difference between i386 and i686? Whats IA32 and IA64? How do I know which software to download!!!

The "i" in i<insert number> stands for Intel and means "intel x86 based hardware" this includes AMD chips as well as Intel and Cyrix processors. The number is based on the specific type of processor and its features.

For instance i386 is built to run on a 386DX processor and higher

686 runs on P4's, and Athlon XP processors.

IA32 and IA64 are references to Intel again and its mean Intel Architecture, the numbers 32 and 64 stand for "bit" so either 32 bit (which include all Athlon and Pentium processors). 64 bit processors are AMD's Operton and Intel's Itanic processor.

So why does all this matter?

Software can be optimized to run better on specific platforms and architectures so running a program built for i386 will run on an i686 processor but may lack some speed improvement versus if it were a native i686 compiled program.

Think of it as being given all the things necessary to make a hamburger and you get to arrange all the toppings and sauces just the way you want :) Instead of just being handed a ore-made hamburger.

**gotissues68** · 09-14-2003, 07:34 AM

Why would I pay for Linux or software for Linux? I thought it was free!!!

Linux and software that runs on it is generally covered under the GNU GPL license www.gnu.org/copyleft.html

Software may be sold for a price as long as the source code for that application is made available for free to the community.

Think free as in speech and not free as in beer.

"Free Linux" is an intangible idea rather then a tangible thing you can touch, feel or smell, you have the right to look at and modify the source code as you wish as long as your modifications are released to the community at no cost. However the software itself may be sold for profit.

How Do I Read What Is On My CD-ROM, ThumbDrive Or Floppy?

you, in linux, need to mount a storage device. this can be done very easily as long as you know the device names.

to mount you do ...

mount <device driver> <folder to link to the device> //Now this is the easy mount, but if linux doesn't know what type of file format it is, you have to specify it manually, like so...

mount -t<format> <dev. driver> <folder to link>

I.E. mount -t vfat /dev/hda /mnt/harddrive

There is a dir(folder) that you should use to linux, it's called either the /mnt or new linux versions have it as /media, in there you should create a folder that you will link to the device, I.E. /mnt/harddrive. This Will Be the folder to which you go into to look at the folders on the device.

in linux, there is a Dir(Folder) that contains most of the device drivers you would need. it's called /dev and under it is about 200 device files. so, the question is, which is for your device?

Floppy Disks Are FD and they add a number at the end if you have more then 1, sometimes it starts it as a 0, others it will start as a 1, floppies are usually fd0, to mount a floppy it...

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy //regular way
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy //hard way, use if it gives you format type error

CD-ROMS are called hdc usually, but they can range, and again, they sometimes have a number, sometimes not, so mounting a CD-rom is

mount /devb/hdc /mnt/cdrom
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom //hard way

Or

mount /devb/hdc0 /mnt/cdrom
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc0 /mnt/cdrom //hard way

and last but not least, thumbdrives. these are fun to mount, cause linux has a file format made especially for them, but you shold never use this because it is a beta format and it can corrupt the data on your Thumbdrive, linux calls the device sda, and again adds the number...

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb //try to specify the file format on the thumbdrive, to avoid complications....

now, you have your device mounted, when you are finished, and you want to take the device out, such as eject the CDrom, you generally should unmount it, you don't need to, but if you don't, there is a chance that the files are still being accessed and they can be lost.
FYI, linux will unmount al drives when shutting down, so don't worry about that. also, if you have your device in while booting up, linux might mount it already, such ar CDroms or FLoppies, but since thumbdrives are new, then usually aren't auto-mounted. before you mount a device, be sure to check under the /mnt or /media folders, or just type in the
mount
and it will print out the mounted devices and what folder they are mounted to...

I Installed my graphics card driver, but I still can't get the proper screen resolution! What do I need to do?

Sometimes you will need to configure the X Server. It often can't display any larger than 1024 x 768. Here is a quick way to do so. Note: You will need to be logged in as a root user.

Open up a shell terminal session

Type in the following command:

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Enter your password at the prompt. You will notice it won't actually show up on the screen, this is normal.
You will now be shown a GUI. Select your graphics chipset. If you don't know, use Everest and go to Display > GPU. Press enter to continue.
Now select the resolution of your monitor. You can select as many as you need. Use the space bar to put an asterisk next to a resolution.
Once you are back to the terminal, exit out of the session and reboot to restart the X Server. It should now display the correct resolution.

**TheMatt** · 11-20-2006, 02:00 PM

I just downloaded a program in the .tar.gz format. How do I install it?

In Linux, there is no nice GUI wizard that will walk you through installation most of the time. Instead, you will have to do it through the command line:

Open up a shell terminal session and go to the directory where the program is stored. In this example, it is /home/mattmodica/stuff/program.tar.gz. Type in the following commands to unpack and configure it.

Code:

mattmodica@Stargate:~$ cd /home/mattmodica/stuff/
mattmodica@Stargate:~/stuff$ tar xzf program.tar.gz
mattmodica@Stargate:~/stuff$ cd /home/mattmodica/stuff/program/
mattmodica@Stargate:~/stuff/program$ ./configure
mattmodica@Stargate:~/stuff/program$ make
mattmodica@Stargate:~/stuff/program$ su -c 'make install'

Some distros, you should use sudo.

Code:

mattmodica@Stargate:~/stuff/program$ sudo 'make install'

Of course, it probably won't be called 'program', so be sure to substitute that for whatever the name is, as well as 'mattmodica' for whatever your username is if it is in your home folder. For simplicity, put these programs in your home folder. That should do it, to run the program, you should go to run command from the main menu and run the name of the program.

**TheMatt** · 11-20-2006, 03:17 PM

Which Distribution should I choose?

There are so many distributions, if you are not sure, try one of these distribution choosers:

http://www.tuxs.org/chooser/
http://desktoplinuxathome.com/distro.html
http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/index.php
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/...x_distribution

If you are still unsure, you can ask on one of the many Linux forums or even get some opinions from TSF members.

Many distros offer a live CD, which means you can boot off it and preview the distro without actually installing it on your hard drive. This is very useful if you want to preview the GUI of a distro.

Q:
I'm trying to install a Video Card driver in Ubuntu/Kubuntu, and it is telling me that I need to stop X. How do I do that?
A:
Press Ctrl-Alt-F3 simultaneously, and it will take you to a text-only command prompt. Log in, then type: (if you're using GNOME)

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

If you're using KDE, just substitute gdm with kdm. Like this:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop

X should now be stopped. To restart X, simply type:

Code:

startx

I've found that many problems can be resolved by simply doing a little Google search. But lots of times the results can be mixed in with other things, so use this handy link when you want to search for Linux only topics:
