I'd suggest the Female Android Modelling, that one is very fun. Poly/Subd the whole way through

yes I can concur the female android was a very good tutorial and I completed it,along with the strange hdr skybox they used for backdrop..
the model itself turned out well for me and I did I believe posted it for crit on the forums the tutorial came from..
great learning that one..

Ok. Arch is giving me more and more problems, no ideea how to solve them, and the guys over their forums arent much help either, so i'm back to Ubuntu for now but

yeah, quite bland.

So i was thinking of giving Fedora another try, its not SELinux, its the constant HDD activity that bothers me.
I just remember the file name, it was updatedb so i got some questions 
Is this some file indexing process?
Does it never stop ?
Cant i turn it off ?
Did God of Linux bugged this process for me only, or its just how Fedora14 behaves for everyone in terms of never-ending HDD activity?

updatedb is a file indexer, it makes it so that you can run locate "filename" and it usually only runs when you actually run it unless it has a crontab set up. It is probably located in /etc/cron.daily, or just in the normal crontab.
From what I see, Fedora does set it up to run automatically, once you turn that off, should notice a much lower CPU usage, etc..

I doubt it, I'll defrag now and then but over defragging can likely cause more harm than good. It's a fairly debatable topic but I don't handle it too often. UpdateDB really shouldn't be taking that long however unless it was still doing its first run and trying to get a list of all of the files to work as a baseline. I'd suggest trying the solution on the Ubuntu forums of either moving the crontab files, changing the permissions on updatedb, or just moving updatedb. UpdateDB is something you will want to run now and then though, as it is fantastic for finding files on the fly.
Edit: Something else I just thought of, is if you have some really large datadrives on separate partitions that it is trying to index could take a good while. Fedora will automount these I believe and you could update the crontab command to include -e /mnt/sda2 or whatever the mount points are for the large drives. ( -e for Exclude)

I cant fucking stand Fedora.
Try Debian Sid, or atleast thats what I usually settle on
Although at the moment I am giving Linux Mint 10 a whirl because I was bored today

I was really starting to dislike Fedora, but the new release is so much better than alot of the previous ones. The installer is sexy ass clean, and it seems to run alot lighter, I usually use Fedora KDE though instead of the normal Gnome.

I will have to have a look at Fedora 14 at some point then when I have time.
Linux Mint does a debian build as well as an ubuntu one, but as I said if you use Debian (IMO) its best to go with Sid (Testing) stable although it is stable is too outdated.
For a server though it rocks, my box runs Debian stable and its solid
I dont think I could use it all the time, but I did actually quite like KDE4.4 when I last tried it. It still feels way to bloated compared to gnome, but if you do just a terminal install on any debian based linux and do "apt-get install kde-minimal" its pretty tidy.
I still like gnome3 more though.
Ubuntu is switching to unity with 11.04, so thats another thing to look at if you ever jump back to Ubuntu (or one of its forks like Mint)

All of my linux servers run CentOS, which is definitely preferred IMO, but i'll have to poke around Mint, never really heard of it .
I agree KDE can have a wierd bloated feeling to it, and even in the newer Fedora release you have to spend some time to tweak things down a bit. But the general Fedora release alone feels like it minimizes alot of stuff that it used to fire up on startup. Not sure if that's correct I would have to burn a copy of old Fedora to check the chkconfig and see what is set in the runlevels on boot for each one. The only problem i've had with the new version of Fedora is SELinux, and that was just my fault in the end.

I have CentOS on my dedicated box, its my personal one at home I have Debian stable on, just because I know it better than CentOS (although I admit thats a lazyness thing) but the home one only has to handle sharing video's and backup stuff etc... for my media centre so its all good

Well its not too late
Here are my 2 problems
 Spoiler: | | graysky wrote: | It gets to grub just fine, but hangs up with an error message I haven't seen before:

done.

ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/sda2'. |
Then I get dropped to a recovery shell. I search and found a similar threads where the solution has been to regenerate the initramfs images which I have tried several times over. Same problem. Love to understand what I'm doing incorrectly here! |
| kvn wrote: | | remove "autodetect" from hooks, save, then regenerate the image by mkinitcpio -p kernel2. reboot |

Root device doesnt exist
ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/sda3'.
But it doesnt happened all the time! Sometimes i can boot just fine, other times i get this error, so i just restart my system until it boots smile
I tried removing "autodetect" from hooks (HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata filesystems") and regenerating the image but nothing changed. What can i do?
Here's my fstab
| Code: |
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda4 swap swap defaults 0 0
# sda = sata
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g gid=users,umask=0000 0 0
/dev/sda2 /media/sda2 ntfs-3g gid=users,umask=0000 0 0
# sdb = ide
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ntfs-3g gid=users,umask=0000 0 0
/dev/sdb5 /media/sdb2 ntfs-3g gid=users,umask=0000 0 0
|
sda is sata and sdb is ide. Question: What if i rebuild the image with HOOKS="base udev autodetect sata filesystems" ? Without pata and scsi? Why are they even there, maybe those are the culprit ?
|
|
EDIT : FIXED by disconnecting the drive from the intel sata controller and connecting it to the jmicron one. YEY !

Like libjpeg62 is also required by Maya but i still get the same error with it.
Mudbox has a similar problem. It says "png read error".
What libraries am i missing ?" |

I have little doubt its because I am use to debian based systems, but I find fedora just fucking shit.
Every time I want to do something it seems to be more hassle than debian.
and what the fuck kind of distro does not have nano or wget installed as default.
the first distro I ever used was Red hat 5, and that was shit, and it seems to have improved very little, although on redhat 5 I had to build X from scratch for some reason so thats got better.
I honestly cant put my finger on what is wrong with it, but I just find it a complete pile of shite.
Starts debian testing download

as I said I am sure its because I am used to apt, it took me a while to get used to apt when I first started using debian so its all personal taste.
One of the joys of linux I suppose, something for everyone (apart from openSUSE )

Fedora has made some nice improvements for graphic cards and getting them installed quickly, especially using some 3rd party repositories.
All of this information comes from my favorite site at getting fedora up and running at :
http://www.fedorafaq.org
First add the 3rd party repository (needed for Mp3 support / etc anyway)
1. Open a Terminal.
2. Become root:
3. Run the following command:
| Code: | yum --nogpgcheck install http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
|
Now to add the Driver proper:
2. Open a Terminal.
3. Become root:
4. Install the driver:
| Code: |
yum install kmod-nvidia |
5. Rebuild your kernel configuration (otherwise it may try to load a conflicting driver during boot):
| Code: | | new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --dracut --update $(rpm -q --queryformat="%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" kernel | tail -n 1) |
6. Reboot your machine:
And now you should have working 3D with your nVidia card!
Note that if you have an older card, you may need to install kmod-nvidia-173xx or kmod-nvidia-96xx. There is a list on the nVidia site that says which cards are supported by which driver.
If you need support for the nVidia drivers, check out the nV News "NVIDIA Linux Forum". (Thanks to Exile in Paradise for this tip.)

Glad to hear it mate, I had a feeling it was an external or some HDD issue throwing Fedora through a loop. Visit that page I linked at the top of that post and browse though some of the things, that pages solves alot of problems preemptively that you think you may run into.

arch is a nice distro
pacman -S xorg xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-joystick xf86-input-vmmouse xf86-video-vmware nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils kde-meta zsh sudo vlc libdvdcss vdpau-video kde-l10n-doublecharactercountrycode
nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite --twinview "twinview is for dualscreen"
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev~tabcompletion
fix "Option" "XkbLayout" "doublecharactercountrycode" for keyboard layout in device is keyboard
nano /etc/rc.conf
add nvidia to modules
hal udev dbus alsa kdm to daemons
do pacman -S cdemu-client - if you want daemon tools for Linux
then add vhba to modules in rc.conf and cdemud to daemons
fix alsa sound device in /etc/conf.d/cdemud and set amount of virtual devices
then later on install kde-cdemu-manager through aur for gui interface
useradd -m -g users -G lp,optical,storage,video,audio,games,wheel -s /bin/zsh "or bash" username
passwd username
reboot and you have graphical environment ready to go, with an avg download speed of 5mb/s you have the system up and running inside of 15 minutes -if you've memorised the commands.

The kickout sounds like something related to tweaking the XFCE setting but it is hard to be sure. No need to panic if the new kernel didn't boot, just boot the old one and you will be good to go, it is likely that since you logged out it may of had some issue downloading the new kernel, can set the old one up to go in grub and it will load it automatically instead.
