Linux Books

Of course the Internet along with the help of Google is a great source of information. You can answer almost any question you have about Linux and find many tutorials, guides and help. However many people prefer reading this information on a printed book accesssible even when they are not online or don't have a computer in front of them. I've received many e-mails asking me to propose them a few good books regarding Linux commands, administration and for specific distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora etc. So, I've search for a few good books. Here they are. Happy reading!

26. Plymouth 图形启动

Plymouth 替代之前的 RHGB 成为 Fedora 10 最新的图形启动系统。它需要内核模式设定(KMS)才能正常运行,内核模式设置KMS支持大多数 ATI Radeon 芯片组和 Radeon 9500 及其最新显卡。 英特尔的内核模式设置支持正在开发中,但是还不被支持。 其他显卡使用文本插件,如果你在启动 Fedora 的时候只看到一个滚动条,你可以尝试强制硬件以图形模式启动,不带内核模式设置 KMS 支持。要启动不带内核模式设置的图形启动模式,请阅读下面的图形启动问题。当然,你首先可以尝试通过改变主题而不修改 grub.conf 文件。

* Plymouth 主题

默认只安装了 Solar 和文字模式的主题,要安装附加 Plymouth 主题,请输入:

su -
yum install plymouth-plugin-{fade-throbber,label,space-flares,throbgress,two-step}
yum install plymouth-theme-{charge,fade-in,solar,spinfinity}
yum install plymout-utils
现在你可以试用上面安装的任一主题了。替换下面命令中的 themename 为 solar, fade-in, pulser, spinfinity, text 中的任何一个就可以了。
 
su -
plymouth-set-default-theme themename
/usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd
完成之后重启电脑。
 

* 图形启动问题

在 Fedora 11 启动的时候,你也许看到一个蓝色的滚动条加载的画面,而不是 grub 的图形启动屏幕,之所以出现这样的问题,是因为 Fedora 11 所使用的内核的模式设定选项的原因。为了能看到图形化的启动界面,你必须编辑 grub.conf 文件,并添加一个 vga 分辨率上去,下面教你怎么做:

su -
gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf
这里你必须在内核文件的最后一行添加你自己的帧缓冲分辨率,像这样子:
 
title Fedora (****)
root (hd0,9)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-**** ro root=UUID=**** rhgb quiet vga=792
initrd /boot/initrd-****
vga=792 代表 1024x768 分辨率,24 位色深。你可以从下面的表格中查找你喜欢的分辨率。

Colours   640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200
--------+---------------------------------------------
256     |   769     771      773      775       796
32,768  |   784     787      790      793       797
65,536  |   785     788      791      794       798
16.8M   |   786     789      792      795       799
如果你想要的分辨率没有在上面的表格中,打开终端成为 root 后输入 vbetest 。你会看到下面的列表:

[352] 1280x800 (256 color palette)
[353] 1280x800 (8:8:8)
在你看到的反括号中的数字上加上 512 。 例如,如果你使用 24 位色深 1280x800 分辨率的宽频显示器,添加 vga=865 (512+353)。

27. 缺少 xorg.conf

很多 Fedora 用户抱怨 Fedora 11 缺少 xorg.conf 。在 /etc/X11/xorg.conf (通常在这个目录下)目录中找不到这个文件并进行修改,这不是 bug ,这是 Fedora 11 的新特性。我教你如何创建一个 xorg.conf 文件如果你确实需要的话。以 root 管理权限打开终端并输入:

Xorg -configure :1

将会创建一个默认的 xorg.conf 文件在 /root/xorg.conf.new 目录下,你可以拷贝到 /etc/X11/xorg.conf 目录下。

如果你使用 RPM Fusion 软件仓库中的 Radeon 或者 Nvidia 显卡驱动。请选择性的输入命令:

su -
yum install system-config-display
system-config-display
这个脚本将自动创建一个 xorg.conf 在它正确的目录下。

28. 图形化 root 登陆

Fedora 11 默认并不允许在 GDM 中以 root 登陆,而必须使用正常用户登陆后在终端中成为 root 权限。然后很多用户仍然想以 root 登陆。虽然我不赞成但还是说一下怎么做。请不要忘记一旦你使用 root 登陆后会毁坏你的系统,所以请不要输入下面的命令,除非你知道你在做什么。

打开终端输入:

su -c 'gedit /etc/pam.d/gdm'
su -c 'gedit /etc/pam.d/gdm-password'
找到下面这行:

auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet
将这一行备注掉:
#auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet
保存这个文件后登出,然后你就可以以 root 登陆了。

I'm sorry but I don't understand Chinesse. I used google translate anf if I understood correctly your answer the problem is because of the ATi driver and the kernel version used by Fedora 11. Try to uninstall it and use the default driver.

forgive my poor english!
when i use the command su -c 'gedit /etc/pam.d/gdm',then i need input a password,but i can't input any key but 'enter'.

Hi, your English are fine! smilies/smiley.gif

After typing this command when you see the Password prompt just type your root password. You won't see it on screen but it's there. Then hit enter to confirm.

Hi
While I try to using the Command “vbetest” to find out the screen resolution , it returns "Segment error",my Graphic Card is ATI HD3650! The highest screen resolution of my laptop is "1280x800".

Thank you !

Hi xiaoxi,

Hi axel,

Thanks for your reply
I have tried this before ,but it did not work for me,I remember the error code is that it is can't find the number of which i give . Then it show me a table of screen resoulutions for me to choice one.

It has something to do with the video driver you are using. ATi drivers for Linux are a bit of a trouble. I don't know exactly what is going on e.g. which driver is better to use. :/
axel , October 14, 2009

smilies/sad.gif , I have tried to fix this problem for a couple of days , but still has no resolution . I can use 3D desktop , but can not fix this problem ! The driver for ATI Cards are always problem for The Linux .

I've read a few good comments from people with ATi video cards that tried the upcoming Fedora 12. They say most problems are gone. Fedora 12 will be released in about a month from now. You'll have to wait till then.. smilies/sad.gif

Thank you for you regards
I will try to use it then
