JN4oldschool, try adding this to your kernel cmdline in grub or lilo

psmouse.proto=imps

I had identical issues w/ KVM switch and a corded mouse, fixed it no worries in FC4 and FC5. I presume coz ur runnning KVM its a PS2 mouse or at least converted to PS2 (I dunno any USB input KVM switches)

[JN4OldSchool]

yeah, it's PS/2. Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go!

Actually, I got a USB one recently, Bureau En Gros. Speakers, mic, USB keybd, USB mouse, and Analog screen in one KVM.

As for the hotkeys, it's long and annoying, but I've gotten my keys to work using the 'setkeycodes' - If I remember correctly, just googleing 'setkeycodes howto' came up with some good howtos that helped my solve my problem.

Good news guys, everything is working. The ATi drivers are all set, installed, and working, Flash is working, the resolution stays...basically the opposite of what I experienced before.

Anyways, I'm trying to install gcc here, and I yum install it. However, I cannot turn it into an executable because it keeps saying: "No such file or directory," and "gcc: no input files."

Any suggestions? Thanks for all your help before guys, and I'll post back if I have any other problems. Thanks again!

[Firewing1]

It's annoying, but you manually have to tell GCC input / output files:

[ make your .c file]
gcc your_C_file.c -o output_program

It will now turn your C code 'your_c_file.c' into the output binary 'output_program'. Of course, you can make those relevant, like if you're compiling 'program.c', just make it your command 'gcc program.c -o program' so that your binary matches the c filename...

Still not working, dude. I can't compile .cpp files (which are C++ files). An error message will display everytime I do (following the above format). For .c files, nothing displays on the screen. The terminal just moves to the next line and doesn't display anything at all. I used the simple text editor that comes with Fedora Core 5 to make some quick .cpp and .c files to test it out, but the above format does not seem to work. Am I missing something or is something else wrong? Thanks.

That's normal - Simply running GCC makes the output file(s) and then gives you a new prompt. Try typing:

ls

and see if you see a file by the name you chose before in the -o output_file. To run it, type:

./output_file

(yes, that's a dot, a forward slash, then the filename all in one word...)
As for a GUI editor, then you'll have to open you C files in gedit first:

gedit filename

save your file as a .c file, then you can use GCC and the ./filename to make the binary and run it.

By looking at your repos, it seems you're using a non-standard setup - Extras isn't enabled. You'll need to enable Fedora Extras (aliased 'extras' in yum) to get wine. As for clamAV, run:

clamscan files

to scan for files or folders, and

freshclam

to update your virus definitions database. You can type either with "--help" after it for more options.

Ok, .c files compile and display.

Except I can't compile my C++ programs (.cpp).

Does gcc follow a different file format (like .cc or .cxx)? Thanks.

[Firewing1]

You'll need to install gcc-c++:

yum install gcc-c++

Now try again using the same 'gcc file -o outputfile' process.

[John_Z]

Nope, none of my C++ files are compiling. All of them work (I've even tried compiling them on Dev-C++ in Windows XP and they compile perfectly fine). I'm getting about 9 errors that don't make any sense and say there's things wrong with my code. I have the gcc-c++ installed too. The C files compile and display fine, but that's it. Any other avaliable suggestions? Thanks.

[Firewing1]

What happens when you type:

rpm -q gcc-c++ -l | grep bin

Firewing1

[John_Z]

This displays on the screen:

/usr/bin/c++
/usr/bin/g++
/usr/bin/i386-redhat-linux-c++
/usr/bin/i386-redhat-linux-g++

[Firewing1]

There we go - Try replacing gcc with g++:

g++ file -o out_file

Firewing1

[John_Z]

Ahhhh...it works now.

Thanks man, but I have one last question. It's a very small problem and not really a big deal, but is there anyway to include the setenforce 0 command during boottime? I keep having to do it manually everytime I go to http://pandora.com. Flash works and it's installed, it's just that setenforce 0 command. Thanks again man.
