Hello all, Firstly, I would like to thank the people responsible for such a great distro. I strongly believe that now I finally may be able to make the switch from Windows and enter the Linux domain…
Well, I’m writing here because after installing puredyne yesterday, I couldn’t make it connect to the internet. Though I’m a newbie on Linux, I’ve had tried some other distros: Ubuntu Studio 9.04, vanilla Ubuntu 9.04 and Fedora 12 with Planet CCRMA (a good one, by the way). On these distros, I could connect to the net quite easily. Although utilizing the same parameters on the aforementioned distributions, I simply cannot connect puredyne on the internet. I’ve a DSL connection and I utilize the D-Link DSL 500B, a very common model in Brazil. Linux has the advantage (and the reputation) of being quite straightforward to make computers “see” networks and the like. On Fedora, all I had to do was: create a DSL entry, inform my login and password and check the “connect automatically” box. ‘Voilà’: I am online. I’ve obviously tried the same approach on puredyne, but no luck here. After many attempts, I tried the « pppoeconf » command and now I’m not able to edit or add new connections within “the icon besides the clock” – sorry, I’m not in my machine now and I don’t remember the correct terminology, I should have written this yesterday, but it was late at night. Another issue: I have another hard drive (NFTS partition, with Windows XP), how do I mount it? On the aforementioned distros, it was just a matter of selecting it from a drop down menu (alongside the ‘home’ folder, etc) and entering my password. I know that puredyne recognizes it, because I can see it through « gparted ». Sorry for the long post, guys. It won’t be only one; I still have to make wineasio and VSTs work… J Thanks for your time and thanks for puredyne. Regards, Rodrigo Chamusca
