Toto, These look like Alsa driver messages saying they cannot find a sound card. I'm guessing that there may be some default messages in /etc/modules.conf. If you're not using sound then you can just comment them out. If they truly cause a machine to hang at boot time then it seems as if there is a bug that needs reporting, either to the Alsa developers or to someone else.

Those messages are quite typical and aren't fatal. They surely shouldn't cause the system to die. You should also check /var/log/dmesg for any messages pertaining to the problem. To be honest, this sort of thing is typically caused one of two things: 1. Intermittent connections on PCI cards, RAM sticks or CPUs. Shut the machine down and reseat all of the PCI and RAM cards. If you can, try reseating the CPUs, too (not always so easy). If you moved the machine physically, this is the most likely problem. 2. Flakey RAM. Just because the machine will run Windows is no indication that RAM is reliable. If you can, download and run memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.com) to check it (or boot a Fedora Core CD and enter "memtest86" at the "boot:" prompt). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Okay, who put a "stop payment" on my reality check? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Fri Oct 1 17:15:52 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Fri, 01 Oct 2004 10:15:52 -0700 Subject: X windows In-Reply-To: <20041001050100.77950.qmail@web90002.mail.scd.yahoo.com> References: <20041001050100.77950.qmail@web90002.mail.scd.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <415D90C8.60904@vitalstream.com> Celine Neo wrote: > Hello. > > I am trying to configure X windows.

Can you access the machine at all over the network? We also need to know SPECIFICALLY what's not working. What error messages are you getting? What does /var/log/messages on the Linux machine say? What does /var/log/XFree86.0.log (RH or FC1) or /var/log/Xorg.0.log (FC2) say? Remember, gang, if you want help, please be specific. Just saying "it doesn't work" is no help. That's like saying "my car is broken" to your mechanic. It may be true, but it's singularly ineffective in helping to isolate the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "How does that damned three seashell thing work?" - - - Sylvester Stallone, "Demolition Man" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From silverrod at comcast.net Sun Oct 3 18:16:29 2004 From: silverrod at comcast.net (Silverrod) Date: Sun, 3 Oct 2004 11:16:29 -0700 Subject: (no subject) Message-ID: <000101c4a975$1ded3850$6501a8c0@darthd99btwbj0> I am trying to setup my computer to dual boot Windows 2000 (W 2K) with Red Hat Enterprise Workstation v3 (RHEW).

I'm likely to not be that much help. I use System Commander to kick off my boot process so dual booting is a bit different for me. That said, maybe some of this will help: 1) A Linux installation is really sort of 2 pieces - Linux itself (possibly spread over multiple partitions and disk drives) and a boot loader.

Per instructions in RHEW installation guide I created a 100 Megabyte partition at the very beginning of the new drive. During the installation Disk Druid ask where you want the boot file to go. I pointed to the above drive and partition. I can not confirm if it got there or not because W2K explorer will not acknowledge that that partition exists after it is formatted for Linux. I can't open it to see what's in there if anything. 3) Windows is the same in terms of the OS and a boot loader. However Windows boot loader must reside on the first hard drive seen by BIOS. As understand things it cannot work itit was to be in the seond drive. The SATA drive is the first one seen by the BIOS and I have not placed any Linux stuff there except the pointer in the boot.ini.

However, the 'tricky' part here is the LILO installation which I don't know much about. Part of the problemcould be that LILO possibly has to be on the first drive Like windows does. Not sure. I'm assumming that Linux really is on the second drive or else Windows would be gone.

OK, so a very good solution for you would be to download a copy of Knoppix and burn that to a CD. With Knoppix you can boot to Knoppix Linux from the CD and run without installing anything on any of your hard drives. It will allow you to look at your hard drives, see the partitions and make sure everything looks correct. > > 3) Windows is the same in terms of the OS and a boot loader.

I may have > a problem here! I am thinking that a limitation of LILO may be that it won't run on a second drive as you are trying to do. This is just a guess. You need to Google before taking ANY actions based on what I'm saying. You may need to install grub, which both Otto and I are more comfortable with, to get this configuration to work. I just don't know. Another problem could be the way LILO is configured. It's possible that LILO saw your 'second' drive as the only drive during the installation in which case it would not have set it up correctly. You could fix this by installinggrub and being very astute about how you configure it. this is not a 'basic' install and we'd want to be careful about what you did. As a short term check, you could try unplugging the SATA drive. When it isn't found then presumably the system would find the second drive and boot from it. It would be a fairly simple test I think. > > 4) No matter what you have on your system, the only boot loaders > youhave a chance of using are ones that can be seen by BIOS, so this > changes a bit from system to system, but usually it's jsut the first > hard drive. > > Otto has said essentially the same thing.

It won't work in the archives. I am trying to setup my computer to dual boot Windows 2000 (W 2K) with Red Hat Enterprise Workstation v3 (RHEW). I attempted to load RHEW on my SATA hard drive but it didn't work because the hard drive controller card's manufacture doesn't have a software driver for RHEW yet. I tried to use a driver for a different version of Red Hat that they offered but it didn't work either. I am now trying a different approach. I have installed a second, IDE hard drive, that I am sure RHEW will recognize. I partitioned the new hard drive per the instructions in the RHEW installation guide with Norton Partition Magic. I have loaded RHEW on that second hard drive with Disk Druid and it seemed to go well. I then modified the boot.ini file with the line "L:\Linux.bin="linux"". "L:" is the primary partition on the new hard drive that I chose as the boot partition for RHEW. I then rebooted the computer during which during which a screen offered me the choice of booting W2K or Linux. I selected Linux and received the following error message. Windows 2000 could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the Windows 2000 documentation about hardware and disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information. I can't get into RHEW but W2K works well after a reboot and a different selection at the OS option screen. What have I done wrong? What other methods might work? Thank in advance for your help! Rod I have never done RHEW, but I have used RH9 etc. with dual boot, I always used GRUB or LILO. GRUB is now the preferred boot loader, my suggestion is that you boot the rescue disk into RHEW and do a grub-install and install GRUB in the MBR. The idea of a boot disk, rescue disk or install disk is new to me. I did make an installation disk (also called a boot disk by RHEW installation guide) after the installation by copying files from the RHEW disk one per instruction in the guide. I don't know if I can get to GRUB that way but I will try it shortly. If I can, how do I get GRUB to modify the MBR? Remember that Linux can not find my SATA hard drive with W2K on it. Thank you for your help Rod 1. Windows boot loaders are not very good in loading OS's that don't have a partition on the 1st drive. So, to succeed using the windows boot loader you will have to put a linux partition on the boot disk. I think this is correct but it has been a long time since I have booted a linux system using the windows boot loader and that was the setup that I used. 2. Second GRUB uses the bios to locate the boot disk and all. The MBR is always located the same place on all disk, the boot disk, the 1st track. 3. If you use GRUB it will figure out whatever you need and chain to the WIN2k. 4. The Rescue disk or boot disk is the 1st disk of the linux installation kit. 5. Make sure that win2k is on the primary drive and not the secondary drive. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Most likely will. > What will I be prompted to do what on reboot? When Kudzu does his thing, he will likely discover old devices that are not there and offer to "unconfigure" them. Just hit Enter and he will do that. Then he will find new devices and offer to "configure" them. In the same way, just hit Enter and he will do that. > Can someone let me know what I am getting myself into and be prepared > for what? It already knows about your video card and network and CD devices, so I'd say it should be pretty painless. With more memory, you should now have a swap partition of about 1GB (about 2x RAM). If you don't have that much, and it's too much trouble to change your partitioning, you can create a swap file to make up the difference.

Those messages are quite typical and aren't fatal. They surely shouldn't cause the system to die. You should also check /var/log/dmesg for any messages pertaining to the problem. To be honest, this sort of thing is typically caused one of two things: 1. Intermittent connections on PCI cards, RAM sticks or CPUs. Shut the machine down and reseat all of the PCI and RAM cards. If you can, try reseating the CPUs, too (not always so easy). If you moved the machine physically, this is the most likely problem. 2. Flakey RAM. Just because the machine will run Windows is no indication that RAM is reliable. If you can, download and run memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.com) to check it (or boot a Fedora Core CD and enter "memtest86" at the "boot:" prompt). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Okay, who put a "stop payment" on my reality check? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Works great. Trick ... The boot loader in the master boot record on the first disk must know about both Windows and Linux. Many Linux folks seem to prefer installing LILO or GRUB into the MBR ... the Linux install process (at least with Red Hat and GRUB) sees the Windows OS and makes 2 entries in GRUB, one for Windows and one for Linux. Alternately, you can use the existing Windows boot loader in the MBR, since it already knows how to boot Windows. Just need to tell it how to boot Linux. Since, Rod, your initial post mentioned the boot.ini file, it seems this method is what you are trying to do. Steps ... 1. Boot Linux on the second disk (might need to use a boot floppy). 2. Understand where the Linux boot loader was installed ... in a separate /boot partition, or in the / partition. Assuming /boot was installed in its own partition, say, partition 2. Copy the boot loader into a file ... dd if=/dev/hdb2 bs=512 count=1 of=linboot.bin 3. Copy this newly created image onto a DOS floppy ... mkfs -t msdoc /dev/fd0 mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy cp linboot.bin /mnt/floppy umount /mnt/floppy 4. Now move the Linux boot image to your Windows system on the first disk, so the Windows loader can see it ... boot into Windows copy linboot.bin to C:\ edit C:\boot.ini to contain a line, something like ... C:\LINBOOT.BIN="Red Hat EL WS" 5. Reboot ... you should see 2 choices in the Windows boot loader display. r, Corey Fong Skyline College, San Mateo Community College District, CA P.S. I found this in the book ... Linux+, by Jason Eckert and John Schitka. BTW, a great book. P.P.S. Rod, sounds like you tried to jump directly to L:\LINBOOT.BIN.

The fact you're showing a "$" as your prompt indicates that you are NOT logged in as root (you'd have a "#" prompt in that case). Remember that the root user in Unix/Linux is equivalent to the "Administrator" user under Windows. To verify that the device driver is loaded, you need to "lsmod" as the root user and see if the correct driver is loaded. The odds are that the device you want is ppp0, not eth0. ethx is reserved for ethernet devices, pppX is used for serial- or USB- connected devices. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - 500: Internal Fortune Cookie Error - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From admin at tootai.net Tue Oct 5 07:37:24 2004 From: admin at tootai.net (administrator tootai) Date: Tue, 05 Oct 2004 09:37:24 +0200 Subject: configuiring an ADSL connexion In-Reply-To: <001101c4aa56$56c8b500$7631c051@pc> References: <001101c4aa56$56c8b500$7631c051@pc> Message-ID: <41624F34.8020904@tootai.net> othman El Moulat a ?crit : >Hi Guys; > I'm using redhat linux 9 and facing troubles to configure an ADSL >internet connexion. > Here is the situation: > I have a Modem: Sagem Fast800 for adsl connexion 128K...this one is >working fine with my Windows partition Box... > I want to switch to the Magnificent world of RedHat... > I tried to Install the driver for this Modem by following the >installing instructions : http://www.sagem.fr/en/index.html > > You should better use the driver from here http://www.eagle-usb.org/ -- Daniel From markknecht at gmail.com Tue Oct 5 17:45:10 2004 From: markknecht at gmail.com (Mark Knecht) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 10:45:10 -0700 Subject: OT - Protecting kids who use Linux Message-ID: <5bdc1c8b0410051045225db5f@mail.gmail.com> Hi, My son was 10 when he got his first PC.

First, did you replace the card or simply remove it? Remember that most wireless cards don't use the "ethX" device name, but rather use "wlanX", so make sure your "DEVICE=" line reads "DEVICE=wlan0". If you use "BOOTPROT=dhcp", then only things that MUST be in that file are: DEVICE=wlan0 BOOTPROT=dhcp ONBOOT=yes Optional things that should work: HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (MAC address of the card) DOMAIN=whatever TYPE=wireless or TYPE=ethernet Optional things, depending on your type of wireless network: MODE=managed or MODE=adhoc ESSID=your-ESS-ID CHANNEL=your-wireless-channel-number KEY=s:your-ASCII-WEP-key or KEY=xxxxxxxxxxx (your key in hex) RATE=11Mb/s (or whatever your network does) You should probably delete the following or clear the bits after the "=": IPADDR=whatever NETMASK=whatever GATEWAY=whatever (if present) You may wish to delete the "GATEWAY=" in /etc/sysconfig/network if the DHCP server gives you a gateway to use. Basically, what I'm saying is that the device is probably now "wlan0" rather than "eth0" and try not to specify things you want the DHCP server to give you as setting those values may override what dhclient gets. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "More hay, Trigger?"

Amount of computer time, etc. and he's pretty good about seeing that our house runs our way. None the less, right now he jsut doesn't like that we want to know who he's chatting with. Feels invaded I think. don't blame him, but we're not going away. We are moderately careful about where he goes. If he goes more than twice, and assuming we meet and are comfortable with the parents, we actually ask if they have an guns in the house. We were uncomfortable doing it the first time. Turns out no one has ever answered yes, and everyone has been happy that we don't either.

You then have to do some magic: cd /etc mv pam.conf pam.conf.backup (don't worry if pam.conf is missing) mv pam.d pam.d.backup mkdir pam.d cd pam.d echo "auth required pam_unix.so" >other echo "account required pam_unix.so" >>other echo "password required pam_unix.so" >>other echo "session required pam_unix.so" >>other Yes, the first "echo" uses a single ">" the other three use two (">>"). You should be able to exit from single user mode and reboot and get logged in. Fix your stuff, then: cd /etc rm -rf pam.d mv pam.d.backup pam.d mv pam.conf.backup pam.conf to restore the previous PAM setup.

Yep. How's about blowing it away? Then the blasted static IP (which lived there) *finally* exited stage left. I think this might be some detritus left by redhat-config-network... Thanks be to Bob. Oh, and- Rick Stevens said: >You may wish to delete the "GATEWAY=" in /etc/sysconfig/network if the >DHCP server gives you a gateway to use. Indeed. It was a problem. Had to config this, then forgot to throw it away. >Optional things that should work: > HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (MAC address of the card) > TYPE=wireless or TYPE=ethernet Not sure how optional these params really are, when you have three interfaces! I used both TYPE and HWADDR (which seems to use nameif) and many ruffled feathers were soothed. Thanks to Rick for the syntax and the pointer. >Basically, what I'm saying is that the device is probably now "wlan0" Well, no, not this time. But you can't read minds, Rick, so chill! FYI, I have a Cisco Aironet PCI-352 in this box, which DOES use eth0. The drivers "airo" and "airo_cs" depend upon the "acu" utility that gets dumped into /opt/cisco/bin, which lets you config all the wonderful wireless params that are normally handled with wireless kernel extensions and iwconfig in the user land. Note that this is prettier, but requires X. AND you must get (*exactly*) libgtkmm 1.2.10 AND libsigc 1.0.4! Anyhow, this is what you must do to make the "genuine" Cisco 2.1 driver and utility set work. Praise be, to problems solved, and let me not forget- Bob and Rick, who know their stuff. Cheers.

Yes, HWADDR is useful, but if you don't have it you just have to figure out which card is which (hint: their names are based on the PCI probe sequence--so take a good look at dmesg). > >Basically, what I'm saying is that the device is probably now "wlan0" > > Well, no, not this time. But you can't read minds, Rick, so chill! Okey doke. Back in the 2.2 and early 2.4 kernel days, wireless devices were still "ethX", but starting about kernel 2.4.15 or so, "wlanX" was adopted. Still, many drivers still use "ethX" (despite the kernel authors' admonitions to the contrary). Many people who were hardwired and are now going wireless do forget the "wlanX" name, which is why I brought it up. > FYI, I have a Cisco Aironet PCI-352 in this box, which DOES use eth0. > The drivers "airo" and "airo_cs" depend upon the "acu" utility that > gets dumped into /opt/cisco/bin, which lets you config all the > wonderful wireless params that are normally handled with wireless > kernel extensions and iwconfig in the user land.

"yum update kernel-source" should work, but only if you have the kernel source installed in the first place. Remember that "update" only updates packages you have installed. If you must install it first, try "yum install kernel-source". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Consciousness: that annoying time between naps. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From tbw at geo.hunter.cuny.edu Wed Oct 6 18:03:54 2004 From: tbw at geo.hunter.cuny.edu (Thomas Walter) Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2004 14:03:54 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Mozilla/application/x-java-vm problem - More Info In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Thank you very much to Kiryl Hakhovich, Scott and Iban Nieto Castillero for their quick responses.

The link must point at the *-gcc32 version of the plugin for it to work. I'm using jre1.4.2 on my FC1 and FC2 boxes, installed in /usr/local/jre1.4.2.

The actual name is set via the "domainname" command, and /etc/rc.d/init.d/ypbind contains: . /etc/sysconfig/network (and "NISDOMAIN=whatever" should be in it) - - - DOMAINNAME=`domainname` if [ "$DOMAINNAME" = "(none)" -o "$DOMAINNAME" = "" ]; then if [ -n "$NISDOMAIN" ]; then action $"Setting NIS domain name $NISDOMAIN: " \ domainname $NISDOMAIN else exit 1 fi fi > > I also found that the only way ypserv was going to build properly, was > to set the nisdomain in the network file. Is there another way? Nope. That's it. Actually, older Solaris systems and such used to have an "/etc/domain" file that contained the NIS domain name. One of their startup scripts did a "domainname `cat /etc/domain`" command to set it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - You know the old saying--any technology sufficiently advanced is - - indistinguishable from a Perl script - - --Programming Perl, 2nd Edition - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Wed Oct 6 20:43:59 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 06 Oct 2004 13:43:59 -0700 Subject: Another YP question In-Reply-To: <1A2959DFF019034BBA2F06532A8DFEDB02D2BA06@xch-nw-01.nw.nos.boeing.com> References: <1A2959DFF019034BBA2F06532A8DFEDB02D2BA06@xch-nw-01.nw.nos.boeing.com> Message-ID: <4164590F.1070204@vitalstream.com> Waldher, Travis R wrote: > "At this point, make sure that /etc/passwd and /etc/group have > been edited so that when the NIS is activated, the data bases you > have just created will be used, instead of the /etc ASCII files." > > What do I need to do to guarantee this.

Well, the last line of /etc/passwd should be: +:*:0:0::: ("plus-colon-splat-colon-zero-colon-zero-colon-colon-colon"). A similar line should be at the end of /etc/shadow and /etc/group.

Ok.. I'll go deeper. We are currently testing AS3.0 for using it as a NIS Master among other things. It would greatly decomplicate our lives, scripts, etc. if we could use the /etc/passwd, etc. files instead of having to use a /etc/passwd.mydomain. One advantage is, would be to can some of our home grown tools and use the built in GUI's. The problem is, we want to control access to the NIS Master, but since everyone would be in /etc/passwd, they would be able to login to it. I was wondering if we parked the +:*:0:0::: in the middle of the passwd file would the OS stop reading it at that point and go to NIS. I would assume it would work (I don't know if NIS would like it), and if it doesn't, then how do I know that flag is even working in the first place? (am I making sense?) The other option I've considered is change the order to "nis files", so that netgroups would handle the permissions, and "hopefully" if NIS died, the system would look at the local files for authentication. Or do you see other ways around this?

If you use the standard "getpw*()" system calls, the NIS stuff supplements what's in the local /etc/passwd (/etc/group, etc.) files. You should be able to use anything on the system. > The problem is, we want to control access to the NIS Master, but since > everyone would be in /etc/passwd, they would be able to login to it. And? If you set the permissions correctly, they couldn't do any damage even if they should log into the NIS server. I'd also suggest you base your NIS maps on files SEPARATE from the /etc tree. If you then make sure the NIS server's /etc/nsswitch.conf file does NOT contain "nis" or "nis+" entries, only people in the server's /etc/passwd file can log in to the server itself. > I was wondering if we parked the +:*:0:0::: in the middle of the passwd > file would the OS stop reading it at that point and go to NIS.

That line may not have an effect on the logins as logins are really handled by PAM, and PAM knows to go search the NIS maps if "nis[+]" is specified in /etc/nsswitch.conf and the username isn't found locally. > The other option I've considered is change the order to "nis files", so > that netgroups would handle the permissions, and "hopefully" if NIS > died, the system would look at the local files for authentication. Yes, going to "nis files" would cause the lookup to go to the local files if NIS doesn't answer. Those are short forms of the file using default actions. Any given search of a map (local file, NIS, whatever) can result in one of four results: SUCCESS NOTFOUND UNAVAIL TRYAGAIN Each of those has a choice of actions: "continue" or "return". The default action of "SUCCESS" is "RETURN" (don't bother checking any further). The default action of the other three status items is "CONTINE" (try the next entry in the line). > Or do you see other ways around this? As I said, if you DON'T use the pure /etc files as the basis of your NIS server's NIS maps and instead use copies (see "man ypserv.conf"), you can separate the NIS logins from local logins on the NIS server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - I won't rise to the occasion, but I'll slide over to it. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From Travis.R.Waldher at boeing.com Wed Oct 6 21:40:24 2004 From: Travis.R.Waldher at boeing.com (Waldher, Travis R) Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2004 14:40:24 -0700 Subject: Another YP question Message-ID: <1A2959DFF019034BBA2F06532A8DFEDB02D2BA0A@xch-nw-01.nw.nos.boeing.com> > -----Original Message----- > From: Rick Stevens [mailto:rstevens at vitalstream.com] > Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 2:33 PM > To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > Subject: Re: Another YP question > > As I said, if you DON'T use the pure /etc files as the basis > of your NIS server's NIS maps and instead use copies (see > "man ypserv.conf"), you can separate the NIS logins from > local logins on the NIS server. Which is doable, except that we would like to be able to use COTS user and group management tools. So the question becomes, can redhat's user manager be easily altered to support, say a /nisusers/passwd, group, and shadow? The GUI is nice, because it requires less training to create accounts. Otherwise, I see us having to rewrite or continue using in house built tools, which costs more in the long run than the COTS stuff. Thanks, Travis.

Well, make sure you read up on consolehelper, userhelper and pam. Do your testing on a machine you're not worried about breaking and you should be able to make it go.

First, are you certain that the driver loaded? D-Link uses TI chips a lot. TI won't release the API so an open-source driver can't be written. In that case, you have to use something like ndiswrapper and the Windows ".inf" file. Ditto for the Broadcom chip. I have a Broadcom BCM94306 chip in my laptop under FC1 and FC2. I use ndiswrapper and the Windows XP ".inf" file for it and it works fine. I also use it for my D-Link DWL-650+ card PCMCIA card (TI chipset). ndiswrapper is available at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net. Appropriate ".inf" files should be on the CD or floppy that came with your card. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Huked on foniks reely wurked for me! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From nicola.meenan at bioch.ox.ac.uk Thu Oct 7 09:40:13 2004 From: nicola.meenan at bioch.ox.ac.uk (Nicola Meenan) Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 10:40:13 +0100 (BST) Subject: GNOME terminals disappear Message-ID: Hi, I'm a relative newcomer to Linux and have just installed RHEL WS 3 on a Dell Precision 670 dual processor workstation.

Old commonsense rule I have - When an appliance completely stops working with no warning, always check the wall plug before calling the repair service..... (Unless there is smoke coming out of it.. :-) ) Along those thought lines, can I ask what you do to minimize the terminal, specifically, there are three icons in the upper right corner of the terminal, which one are you clicking to minimize the terminal?

I used 'yum install kernel-source' and got the response 'kernel-source already installed and the latest version' or words to that effect. I know that the 2.6.8-1.521 source was not installed when I upgraded the kernel because of the short time upgrading to that version. I googled for the source and downloaded kernel-2.6.8-1.521.src.rpm and 'installed' it (rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.8-1.521.src.rpm). It installed in the blink of an eye and I cannot find where it is. 'find / -name linux-2.6.8-1.521' comes up with nothing. The reason I wanted to install the source is to try and get alsa working. Upgrading to the above kernel clobbered my sound so I thought that moving to alsa would be the go. Perhaps you can steer me in the right direction. As far as I understand the alsa drivers are part of the 2.6 kernels. FC2 has alsa-utils-1.0.3 and alsa-libs-1.0.3 installed. How the heck do I get alsa working. My sound is onboard 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller. modprobe.conf has sndintel8x0 as the driver, which is correct but I can't get sound working. Do I need to install alsa-driver-1.0.3? (I tried but it won't compile) or is there some config file I need to set up? This is driving me nuts!

Rick, My Compaq laptop sounds like a duplicate of yours. Would you be willing to help me out a bit on this? 1) I have FC2 installed and dual booting with Win XP Pro. I'm in FC2 right now. 2) I have the same Broadcom 94306 chip 3) I can start downloading and building ndiswrapper, as well a collecting from the XP side the Windows .inf file. Assuming things go reasonably well, how you you load ndiswrapper? As I said, I tried doing this with the DLink and had trouble. I also tried the Broadcom under Gentoo and go nowhere.

I've found two .inf files on my XP partition that seem to be relasted to this: [root at flash root]# ls -l ~mark/Broadcom/ total 304 -rwxr--r-- 1 mark mark 21905 Oct 8 10:14 bcmwl5a.inf -rwxr--r-- 1 mark mark 279318 Oct 8 10:14 bcmwl5.inf [root at flash root]# I sort of remember that when I tried this earlier, on the Gentoo side they said they were having better luck with the l5a version, so following the INSTALL file instructions: [root at flash root]# ndiswrapper -i /home/mark/Broadcom/bcmwl5a.inf ls: /etc/ndiswrapper: No such file or directory Installing bcmwl5a Warning: Cannot locate BCMWL5.SYS Warning: Cannot locate BCMWL5.SYS Warning: Cannot locate BCMWL5.SYS Warning: Cannot locate BCMWL5.SYS Warning: Cannot locate BCMWL5.SYS [root at flash root]# which doesn't look so good. However I see that /etc/ndiswrapepr got created: [root at flash root]# ls -al /etc/ndiswrapper/ total 20 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 8 10:24 . drwxr-xr-x 68 root root 12288 Oct 8 10:24 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 8 10:24 bcmwl5a [root at flash root]# with interesting stuff in it: [root at flash root]# ls -al /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5a/ total 52 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 8 10:24 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 8 10:24 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 462 Oct 8 10:24 14E4:4301.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 462 Oct 8 10:24 14E4:4307.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 508 Oct 8 10:24 14E4:4320.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 449 Oct 8 10:24 14E4:4321.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 538 Oct 8 10:24 14E4:4324.conf -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 21905 Oct 8 10:24 bcmwl5a.inf so I'm apparently closer.

This is all turning out to be a bit too much stream of consciousness... OK, so it took a bit more than 20 minutes, but I've made more headway than in my last go-around with this stuff. I grabbed the .sys file, placed it (for lack of any instructions) in /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5, and then gave the next instruction a try: [root at flash root]# ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: bcmwl5a driver present, hardware present [root at flash root]# That all looks quite nice.

Here is the deal. I have a 7.3 machine running samba 3.001 and I had it configured as a regular workgroup server. I need to configure it as a domain member and I need it to authenticate users using LDAP, I need it to where I don't need to add users locally. I have read the SAMBA how tos and some of the Openldap how tos, but it seems the more I read the less I understand.

There was a glitch in the FC2 name tree and the kernel source RPM for that release didn't make it into the right spot--it got put in the "noarch" tree. A "yum install kernel-source*" may grab it (note the "*" at the end) Installing via RPM should have put the source in /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.521 > The reason I wanted to install the source is to try and get alsa > working.

If the drivers are loaded, have you tried opening up the volume control to see if all of the sliders are up? Right-click on the speaker icon on the menubar or select "RedHatIcon->Sound & Video->Volume Control". If the drivers aren't loaded, try "system-config-soundcard" and see if the system spots your card. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Fri Oct 8 21:38:24 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Fri, 08 Oct 2004 14:38:24 -0700 Subject: Temp mail host (rh8 to rh9) In-Reply-To: <30117.198.60.114.90.1097217531.squirrel@198.60.114.90> References: <1097040140.6139.4.camel@barney.localdomain> <416432A8.7070706@vitalstream.com> <1097212900.4283.18.camel@barney.localdomain> <30117.198.60.114.90.1097217531.squirrel@198.60.114.90> Message-ID: <416708D0.7010906@vitalstream.com> karlp at ourldsfamily.com wrote: Hijacking threads, are we Karl?

If the MX record points at the new server, yes. Put the domain names in /etc/mail/relay-domains.

Can you help? Let me see if I have this straight. You want your Linux box to authenticate users using the Windows DC via Samba so you won't have to have local Linux-only users. Is that correct? If so, then you just need to bugger Samba to have the box join the domain. I'm not sure SWAT can do that, but essentially: 1. You must create a machine password for the Windows domain. Let's say your Windows domain is "MYWINDOMAIN" and the domain controller is called "windc.mydomain.com". Enter this command as the root user to create the machine password: smbpasswd -j MYWINDOMAIN -r windc.mydomain.com 2. Add these entries (or modify existing ones) to the "[global]" section of your /etc/samba/smb.conf file: security = domain domain logins = yes workgroup = MYWINDOMAIN password server = windc.mydomain.com 3. Stop and restart the Samba daemons: /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba restart I heartily suggest you get the O'Reilly "Hornbill" book, "Using Samba". This is all covered in one of the chapters in there. By the way, we prefer bottom posting here, Francisco. I took the liberty of reformatting your message to match that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - A day for firm decisions!!!

Yes, the soundcard is detected and I could play the test sound BEFORE I tried to compile alsa-drivers-1.0.3 (which failed). Since then it detects the sound card but I cannot play the test sound and it exits, after I reply 'no, didn't hear the sound', with a message that says to the effect, 'Sorry, nothing I can do.' I cannot get any answers from the alsa mailing list on how to get sound working or on how to go back to OSS. I was hoping that installing the kernel source would supply the needed (if they are indeed needed) headers etc. so the alsa drivers would work. But even the kernel source rpm hasn't installed, not to my HD anyway, although rpm -qi linux-2.6.8-1.521 says it is installed. Sound has always been a pain in Linux right from RH 6.1 (where I started) and nothing seems to have improved. Still black magic and good luck :-) If you have any more things to try I sure would like to hear what you reckon I should do, Uh., politely please :-) Regards, Graeme. ps. I'm on XP and OE at the moment because of this sound problem. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - > - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - > - - > - Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. - > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-install-list mailing list > Redhat-install-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list > To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: > redhat-install-list-request at redhat.com > Subject: unsubscribe > From gnichols at tpg.com.au Sat Oct 9 06:58:09 2004 From: gnichols at tpg.com.au (Graeme Nichols) Date: Sat, 09 Oct 2004 16:58:09 +1000 Subject: Updating kernel source with yum, How?

Hello Rick, an update on my first reply to this post: The snd-intel8x0 is no longer listed in the output of lsmod.

I recently made an enquiry about setting up a printer on red hat 8 and e#was informed it would be advisable to upgrade to a later version, since redhat 8 had been deprecated. I decided to upgrade to fedora core 2 and started downloading the disks. I was a bit shocked to discover each disk (about 640M) is taking about 60 hours to download. By my calculations a 56k link should take about 26 or 27 hours. I'm supposed to have a 300k link - which should (again by my calculations) take about 5 hours. I guess something is a bit wrong with my connection and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could go to get information about why it is so slow ? I'm running redhat 8 and have set up internet sharing on a small Man, so I guess this set up is causing it to go so slowly. Or are my estimates of expected download times simply way out ?

Please respond with step by step instructions. I am a novice, as I said. I have a small network at home, and am using Epson External Ethernet Print Server. I have had no success using redhat-config-printer. Maybe I am not putting the right information into the boxes on the Queue Type tab. With CUPS web interface, I am able to print, but not in color. CUPS Admin goes like this: Modify Printer EpsonC80 Description: Created by redhat-config-printer 0.6.x (continue) Device for EpsonC80 Internet Printing Protocol (http) (continue) Device URI for EpsonC80 http://192.168.1.1:631/EPSON_IPP_Printer (continue) Model/Driver for EpsonC80 Make: EPSON (continue) Model/Driver for EpsonC80 Model: Epson Stylus Color Series CUPS v1.1(en) (continue) Printer EpsonC80 has been modified successfully With this configuration, I can print, but not in color. Suspect that is because of not being able to select the specific model of printer, at least partly. I have visited http://www/linuxprinting.org and learned that the Epson C80 works with the gimp-print driver, which is the recommended driver in the redhat-config-printer application. In that application, I am able to select the specific C80 printer Model. If I could get this configured properly, I could probably print in color and maybe also get the correct number of lines per page so that I wouldn't have lines at the bottom of my pages that only print the tops of the letters on the last line and lines at the top of my pages that only print the bottoms of the letters on the first line. The printer works perfectly from my Windows 2000 Professional box. I am just having trouble printing from my Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS box.

Man, that's weird. A "make" shouldn't wipe out the currently installed stuff unless you did a "make install" and the Makefile's dependencies were screwed up. If it wiped your stuff out with a "make install" and the initial make was unsuccessful, then I'd shoot a strongly worded note to the ALSA people telling them their Makefile is buggered. > I have tried a few times to install the > kernel-2.6.8-1.521.src.rpm using 'i' or 'U' but while it appears to > install OK I cannot find it anywhere even though rpm -qi says it is > installed. > > Does any of the above info help? As to the source, it should be in /usr/src/linux-kernelversion. For that version, /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.521. A "yum -qil packagename" should tell you what files were installed where.

First, you neglected to say which kind of connection you have, DSL, broadband, fractional T1, etc., so suggestions on speed up won't really help. You should try this URL to see what your actual speed is, and to see if your ISP is fibbing to you: http://www.bandwidthplace.com Your calculations are correct. If you indeed have a 300Kbps link, each disk should take 4.8 hours or there abouts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Oct 11 17:11:06 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 10:11:06 -0700 Subject: I'm Happy In-Reply-To: <1B2047299D24EF4BA0457A57818EE9BC01385B92@EXCLU2.menara.local> References: <1B2047299D24EF4BA0457A57818EE9BC01385B92@EXCLU2.menara.local> Message-ID: <416ABEAA.4060007@vitalstream.com> moulatm - wrote: > thanks guys for your help... > cheking the /etc/resolv.conf here is what i found: > > nameserver 212.217.0.12 That is dns2.iam.net.ma, which smells like a valid DNS server to me > nameserver 212.217.1.1 And that one is dns3.iam.net.ma, which also smells like a valid DNS server. > what can we deduce from this? how can i set the parameters based on these info?

If it's from the Gimp, then click on the "Image/Output Settings" tab and make sure "Color" is selected.

That's typically a calibration thing. Go to this URL: http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html and look at step 6 carefully.

In /etc/modprobe.conf (the replacement for /etc/modules.conf under 2.6 kernels). The modules.dep file shows some dependencies, but not enough to satisfy your needs. However, we can forcefeed the modules you want as follows: 1. Create an "/etc/modules.special" file. In it, put in the following lines: /sbin/modprobe ohci1394 /sbin/modprobe ieee1394 /sbin/modprobe sbp2 (you can optionally stuff a little ">/dev/null 2>&1" at the end of each line if you want any possible "already loaded" messages to go to the bit bucket). Save the file and set as owner and group root, permissions 555: chown root:root /etc/modules.special chmod 555 /etc/modules.special 2. Edit /etc/modprobe.conf and add these lines: install ohci1394 /etc/modules.special install ieee1394 /etc/modules.special install sbp2 /etc/modules.special Now, whenever you try to "modprobe" any one of the three, the other two will also install. Yes, it's butt ugly. A more elegant solution would be to bugger the "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep" file, but that can be a dangerous thing to do if you're not careful. See "man modprobe", "man modprobe.conf", and "man modules.dep" for details on the above magic. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "I'd explain it to you, but your brain might explode." - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From mknecht at controlnet.com Mon Oct 11 22:41:16 2004 From: mknecht at controlnet.com (Mark Knecht) Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 15:41:16 -0700 Subject: Proper permanent setup of 1394 drivers In-Reply-To: <416B0741.8060901@vitalstream.com> References: <416AFE5E.5080404@controlnet.com> <416B0741.8060901@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <416B0C0C.1060003@controlnet.com> Rick Stevens wrote: > Mark Knecht wrote: > >> Hi, >> Under FC2 what is the proper way to tell it to load the 1394 >> drivers at boot time?

Rick, Thanks, but not working right so far: 1) When I booted none of the modules were actually loaded. Smallish problem, but it would still require me to su to root and modprobe one of the drivers, if problem 2 didn't exist... 2) modprobe sbp2 resulted in my console running away on me. The hard drive when into 100% access. (visually anyway) Going to another console and running top shown only top taking up CPU accesses. The only way out, after a minute or two of this, was a power button push. Upon startign again I'm greeted with 'system not shutdown cleanly' and a file system check. Ctrl-D when it was done, a reboot, another file system check, and then it booted. Not a pretty sight! The system is back up. Nothing in dmesg or /var/log/messages of any obvious interest. Nothing in lost+found. (thankfully) I think something is not quite right here.... ;-) - Mark From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Oct 11 23:00:49 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 16:00:49 -0700 Subject: Proper permanent setup of 1394 drivers In-Reply-To: <416B0C0C.1060003@controlnet.com> References: <416AFE5E.5080404@controlnet.com> <416B0741.8060901@vitalstream.com> <416B0C0C.1060003@controlnet.com> Message-ID: <416B10A1.6060400@vitalstream.com> Mark Knecht wrote: > Rick Stevens wrote: > >> Mark Knecht wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> Under FC2 what is the proper way to tell it to load the 1394 >>> drivers at boot time?

The installs aren't triggered until the alias is invoked--usually due to a USB bus scan or a "plug in" event. > 2) modprobe sbp2 resulted in my console running away on me. The hard > drive when into 100% access. (visually anyway) Going to another console > and running top shown only top taking up CPU accesses. Really? That's odd. When you say "running away", you mean that console wouldn't respond? Are you sure the disk activity wasn't caused by, say, an updatedb or prelink run? sbp2 does require the scsi_mod module, but the modprobe should have loaded it because the modules.dep says it's a dependency. Very weird. > The only way out, > after a minute or two of this, was a power button push. Upon startign > again I'm greeted with 'system not shutdown cleanly' and a file system > check.

Well, you could add an "/sbin/modprobe scsi_mod" before the "/sbin/modprobe sbp2" in the modules.special file if you're willing to try again. Or you can delete all that stuff I mentioned and simply add the appropriate modprobe commands to /etc/rc.d/rc.local. That's real simple, except that they'll load every time you boot--even if you don't have a device that uses them. Your call. I don't have any 1394 devices to play with or I'd do some testing for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?"

I have this new Dell D600 laptop which I have installed FC2 on. It has a SXVGA+ (ie, 1400x1050) display. X will display at this resolution (at 24-bit depth) on the LCD display, no problem. However, when I plug the laptop into a docking station which has an Acer 77e 17" monitor attached to it, the Acer displays the 1400x1050 desktop, as viewed through a panning 640x480 window. I know it is possible to have this monitor display 1400x1050x24 -- Windows does it. I've also driven this monitor at 1600x1280x24 when attached to a different linux system. I also know that it is possible to have this Linux display properly at this resolution on an external monitor -- I have a Sony something at the office which does it. What I can't find is an explanation as to why I'm getting this 640x480 on an external monitor which is clearly capable of displaying much more, nor an explanation of how to fix it. All pages on the web I've found suggest that it means that my monitor can't run the video mode I selected (known to be false) or that my video card can't run the video mode I selected (also known to be false). It has to be a configuration problem.

What I did was a ./configure then, as root, make; make install. It bombed out with errors with missing directories on the make. That was why I wanted to install the kernel source, which hasn't installed btw, even though rpm -qi says it has :-( The ALSA people do their best under trying circumstances I guess but I haven't received any meaningful assistance from the alsa-users list apart from 'wind up the volume', which is legit advice of course. Sound worked fine until I upgraded to the 2.6.8 kernel. Sound then mysteriously went awol, it wants to configure my wlan adaptor twice, eth1 & eth2 then on the next boot it complains of eth2 going missing, I remove the config and the next boot it 'finds' the wlan adaptor again and wants to configure it again as eth2. The 2.6 kernel seems to have more bugs in it than a swamp. One gets fixed and another gets created. Debian stable is looking more and more attractive :-) At least one wouldn't have the frenetic cycle of upgrades.

I downloaded the kernel-2.6.8-1.521.src.rpm file but I cannot install it. rpm says it installed, -qi says it is there but it must be pretty ethereal, I cannot find it. It sure isn't in /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.521. That directory doesn't exist!

Rick, I did a rpm -qil kernel-2.6.8-1.521 and the following is a short section of the output: /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/pcmcia /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/pcmcia/pdaudiocf /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/pcmcia/pdaudiocf/snd-pdaudiocf.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/synth /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/synth/emux /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/synth/emux/snd-emux-synth.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/synth/snd-util-mem.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/usb /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/usb/snd-usb-audio.ko As you can see the files didn't go into /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.521 Now note the third last line above and the output of the following command: [root at barney synth]# ls emux [root at barney synth]# ls /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/synth/snd-util-mem.ko ls: /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/synth/snd-util-mem.ko: No such file or directory [root at barney synth]# I cd to the synth directory, did an 'ls' to see if the snd-util-mem.ko file was there, and it wasn't. I then did an 'ls' on the whole path. It still wasn't there (not surprising).

I'm guessing that the X hardware probe detects your Acer monitor and the odds are that you don't have a "Monitor" section in your config file that corresponds to it. Therefore, the system reverts to 640x480. Try adding a "Monitor" section for the Acer. The primary display should be in a "Monitor0" section, the Acer in "Monitor1". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - We look for things.

You definitely have an issue with the 521 kernel. I'd try a reinstall of the binary RPM to restore the kernel environment to some semblance of normalcy. Boot your older kernel and see if you have the new binary kernel RPM in /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages. If you do: # cd /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages # rpm -Uvh --force kernel-2.6.8-1.521.i686.rpm While you're in that directory, see if you have the source RPM in there (to see if yum fetched it). Remember, the CORRECT name for the source RPM is "kernel-sourcecode-2.6.8-1.521.noarch.rpm" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - It is better to have loved and lost.

To the extent 'top' would respond there was no process taking up the CPU cycles. The disk drive was in a 100% used state visually - light on and drive head moving a bunch. To me it looked like a run away write process to a log file, but I saw nothing obvious in /var/log/. messages just seemed to have normal boot messages. > > sbp2 does require the scsi_mod module, but the modprobe should have > loaded it because the modules.dep says it's a dependency.

I have no problem with loading the 1394 drivers every time as I pretty much use 1394 hard drives for all of my audio work. Maybe rc.local is actually a good choice in my case...

As I said, it could have been an updatedb or prelink run. Those can flog the drive. A "ps -ax" and scanning for "prelink" or "updatedb" would have been nice.

It's certainly the easiest place to control. I'll have to look at the hotplug configs to see if there's an easy way to make sure your drivers get loaded. I don't know why I didn't think of that before, since 1394 is a hotplug thing.

Sheesh! Also, this is a FC2 system but I'm running a new kernel - 2.6.9-rc2-mm4-VP-S7. Possibly this is kernel related. I could try droppin gback to the standard FC2 kernel and making sure that works. I'm just worried about creating another fsck situation.

(node is kinda like a hub for all the houses it services) Everyone shares the bandwidth, so the more people you have on your node, the slower it goes. I would expect that if you tried at a "quiet" time, like 3am or something, speeds are faster.

Yes, that's a standard driver. Have you checked HP's site for any special driver disks for your system? >>Is it a SCSI CD or an IDE CD? > > > I'm guessing that it's a SCSI CD.

Can you try the install in text mode ("boot: linux text"), and check the other three consoles to see if there's an issue? Press ALT-F2, ALT-F3 and ALT-F4 to get to the other consoles (ALT-F1 gets you back to the main install console). >>How did the boot floppy know you would have an hda2 partition > > > It didn't (and I don't).

When you "noprobe", lots of things go weird. For some odd reason, your machine tells Linux you have an IDE drive.

Of course, you could keep the phone and go to 802.11a on the network (snicker!). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Hello.

I was under the impression that an rpm with 'src.rpm' in its package name was a source rpm. Not in this case obviously. One lives and learns. This rpm will not install. An rpm -ivh (Uvh) goes through the motions of installing and will, with rpm -qi, say its installed but on the next boot says its not installed. > > > > Now note the third last line above and the output of the following > > command: > > > > [root at barney synth]# ls > > emux > > [root at barney synth]# ls > > /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/synth/snd-util-mem.ko > > ls: /lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/kernel/sound/synth/snd-util-mem.ko: No such > > file or directory > > [root at barney synth]# > > > > I cd to the synth directory, did an 'ls' to see if the snd-util-mem.ko > > file was there, and it wasn't.

Remember, the CORRECT name for the source > RPM is "kernel-sourcecode-2.6.8-1.521.noarch.rpm" The source rpm for 2.6.8-1.521 isn't there but the 2.6.8-1.521 binary is there so I will do as you suggest. All these problems may be as a result of doing an 'upgrade' from RH8. I tried to upgrade my laptop from RH8 to FC2 yesterday and it wouldn't do it. Kept complaining about not being able to read the media when trying to install the kernel, fatal error, bomb out. So, not having a lot on the laptop to lose, and being able to copy it across from the desktop if necessary, I did a new install. Went OK. No probs. However, the whole appearance of the boot is different as are some other minor differences on the desktop etc. Probably too much crap left on the machine after upgrading from RH6.1 through the various releases to FC2. that are interfering with things. Thanks very much for your help and patience. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Well," said Programmer, "the customary procedure in such cases is as follows."

The announcer says that their flight has just departed, wishes them a good flight, though there are no planes on the runway. Airline personnel walk around, apologising profusely to customers in hushed voices, pointing from time to time to the sleek, powerful jets outside the terminal on the field. They tell each passenger how good the real flight will be on these new jets and how much safer it will be than Windows Airlines, but that they will have to wait a little longer for the technicians to finish the flight systems. Maybe until mid-1995. Maybe longer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From gnichols at tpg.com.au Thu Oct 14 07:44:19 2004 From: gnichols at tpg.com.au (Graeme Nichols) Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 17:44:19 +1000 Subject: Updating kernel source with yum, How?

You tried to mound cdrom or floppy without support inside? You can't. If you check my sample, the "magic" word auto is there for cd and only work if cd is inserted (I always have the same CD inserted, so that's ok for me). Floppy is not automatically mounted, so I can leave one in the driver without being bored by a mount stage. If you want to have it automagically mounted when you insert floppy or cd, take a look at autofs/automount. -- Daniel From res73gzq at verizon.net Thu Oct 14 13:21:47 2004 From: res73gzq at verizon.net (res gzq) Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2004 03:21:47 -1000 Subject: Install to USB drive?

I don't have an ADSL connection here but a simple dialup one ( You now the 56 k modem thing ) . Apart from that i have never experienced any such thing before . As far as i know the mount command and it's operation has nothing to do with the modem connection . If while you have the auto keyword in your /etc/fstab , you try to activate the ADSL connection what messages do you get in your /var/log/messages file ? Sorry , but i have never seen that before so i can't really help you with that .

Yes, it's useful--especially when you do an upgrade from RH7.x or 8.x to FC.

I don't know what I am doing wrong. This attempt is from the Hotmail web interface. If this posts to a new thread instead of as a reply to the original thread, sorry. Couldn't make it happen. Rick, This is my first mailing list post, so if you get two of these, sorry. I have done newsgroups before, just not mailing lists. And oh, do I love Microsoft Outlook (not). If this doesn't get to the list, I give up. Looks like I am not going to be able to avoid reading the CUPS documentation, so I printed them from my Windows box and hope to get to them soon. They look a little less intimidating than they did at first glance. Tried printing using the Gimp (one of the .png images I had copied earlier from /usr/share/pixmaps) and I got color! Thanks for that. While I was in there, I looked at those settings you told me about, and Color was selected, obviously. Haven't tried printing any photos or any other image format. The color is not happening from the CUPS "Print Test Page" button in the CUPS web interface, for starters. OUCH! The color is not happening in web pages printed using the Mozilla browser, for seconds. I looked at the Preferences in Mozilla and couldn't find any options for changing printing except File menu, Page Setup, Select or Unselect printing the background. Color not expected, and not happening in printing from Terminal window (pipe commands to lpr, always text). Learned about eog last week for viewing images from Bash. Wouldn't have occurred to me otherwise to even think about doing anything with image files in Terminal window other than listing them with ls or dir. Thanks for the calibration info. The page I printed from Step 6 needs to move a little to the right and down on the paper. I need to find that better ruler I have before I fiddle with those settings. I printed both those files out so I can read them before I run the alignment application again. I will also read some pages I printed from _http://www.linuxprinting.org_ . I am still wondering about that redhat-config-printer application, since I was able to print color using the Gimp and gimp-print is the recommended driver in r-c-p. While running the alignment program, the print queue appeared as "EpsonC80". The documentation shows Path (default, I think) in r-c-p as /printers/queue1, and the Server as servername.example.com. My system is set up as localhost.localdomain, the default configuration. I checked it by looking at /etc/hosts and also by typing "hostname" in the Bash shell. I tried putting _http://192.168.1.1:631/EPSON_IPP_Printer_ in the Server box but the python script (whatever?) that runs r-c-p adds an "ipp" to the Server and doesn't print. When I can't get r-c-p to work, I go back to the CUPS web interface and change it back to what I know works. That's where I saw that the "ipp" had been added to the Server name. The modifications r-c-p has made show up in the CUPS web interface boxes. Thanks for your help.

From which application is the color not happening? If it's from the Gimp, then click on the "Image/Output Settings" tab and make sure "Color" is selected. Ditto if you're printing from another application. (the rest of my original post clipped out here, too) That's typically a calibration thing. Go to this URL: _http://www.linuxprinting.org/cups-doc.html_ and look at step 6 carefully. Make sure you perform those steps to make sure the foomatic drivers use the right clipping and offset regions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. _http://www.vitalstream.com_ - - - - If Windows isn't a virus, then it sure as hell is a carrier! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _________________________________________________________________ Don?t just search.

Most USB and PCI modems are "winmodems", which are far more trouble than they're worth. A serial modem "just works", regardless of OS or driver availability. > How about paging software? I dont think Big Brother comes with it, so > I'll have to fire off an external script? No, BB doesn't have a pager system, but it will use one if you set it up. There are several options. You can set up BB to send email to the pager through the pager company's gateway, or you can get one of the open source pager packages such as QuickPage (http://www.qpage.org). I've used both mechanisms. Before I set up QuickPage, I even set up a version that called a kermit script that talked to the pager company's modem. Mondo ugly, but it worked. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Death is nature's way of dropping carrier - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Oct 18 18:44:54 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 11:44:54 -0700 Subject: Enhancing the performance of My RH system In-Reply-To: <1098117607.4359.12.camel@localhost.localdomain> References: <1098117607.4359.12.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <41740F26.9000501@vitalstream.com> othman El Moulat wrote: > Hi guys; > I'm using RH9 for two weeks ago and i want to fully profit from this > wonderful environment...The most important issue about any operating > system is truly speed (Speed is FUN !)...sometimes i notice that my > system is slow and freezes at some occasions...what i need is an > efficient memory management that could enhance the performance of my > system...I'm wondering if there are some maintenance tools embedded into > RH9 that could serve this aim? are there any softwares dedicated to > Linux system memory enhancements? how can i clean up my system very > often so that it runs efficiently and quickly? > thanks for your help... It should never "slow down and freeze". If it is, there's several possibilities. One is that you don't have enough memory or that you are swapping a lot. Another is that you have some task that runs and sucks up a lot of the system resources. The system will run "updatedb" once a day. This flogs your hard drive a lot while it runs and can make the system slow. If you leave your machine running all the time, the system will automatically run it at about 4 a.m., so you shouldn't notice it. If you shut down your machine when you're done and restart it, updatedb will run about run 65 minutes after you reboot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Whoever said "Money can't buy friends" obviously never brought - - donuts to the office. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From thomas.moersch at sasktel.sk.ca Mon Oct 18 19:25:47 2004 From: thomas.moersch at sasktel.sk.ca (thomas.moersch at sasktel.sk.ca) Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 13:25:47 -0600 Subject: Password protect kickstart server Message-ID: Hi, I am installing servers using the kickstart process.

Hello, sorry for the delay in continuing on with this, I was trying to gather as much info as possible. First of all, I have gone through the FC2 System Settings -> Display applet and have explicitly defined my monitor as an AcerView 77e. I have confirmed in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf that there is an appropriate monitor defined: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Acer 77e" HorizSync 30.0 - 72.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 EndSection The presence and/or absence of this section doesn't appear to change anything. When I boot the laptop at the office, it is connected to a Sony G400 and it does the appropriate thing. At home, it still does not behave with the Acer. In the Xorg.0.log, I've noticed that when connected to the Sony, the log reports: (II) RADEON(0): Displays Detected: Monitor1--Type 2, Monitor2--Type 1 (II) RADEON(0): Monitor2 EDID data --------------------------- (II) RADEON(0): Manufacturer: SNY Model: 290 Serial#: 8011257 (II) RADEON(0): Year: 2000 Week: 25 (II) RADEON(0): EDID Version: 1.2 [...] (II) RADEON(0): End of Monitor2 EDID data -------------------- (II) RADEON(0): (II) RADEON(0): Primary Display == Type 2 (II) RADEON(0): Clone Display == Type 1 ...which tells me that it is detecting the Sony all by itself and making appropriate assumptions. Where as when it is connected ot the Acer, I see: (II) RADEON(0): Displays Detected: Monitor1--Type 2, Monitor2--Type 1 (II) RADEON(0): (II) RADEON(0): Primary Display == Type 2 (II) RADEON(0): Clone Display == Type 1 ...which tells me that either the Acer isn't detected at all, or it is detected improperly. However, I still don't know what to do about it. I'm starting to suspect that the config file is merely there for my amusement and xorg is trying to auto-detect things at startup rather than read the config file. I have heard annecdotally (from a friend running Gentoo) that the 6.7.x release from xorg was known for this kind of problem with lots of monitor types, and that 6.8.x handled it much better. Does anyone know if FC3 will have a better xorg release?

When you say "router", I'm assuming you mean something like a Linksys or D-Link cable or DSL router. Those perform routing AND NAT. You must NAT, as the 192.168.0.0/16 network is not routable over the internet. You must set the router between the internet and your 192.168.9.0/24 network to "port forward" the ports you want to the Linux box.

Both router-1 and router-2 must forward port 22 to the Linux box. For this discussion, let's call the port on each router that connects to 192.168.9.0/24 the "LAN" port and the port that connects to the outside (internet or any other network) the "WAN" port. Having established that much, you must see that both routers must know that port 22 traffic coming in from the WAN port must be "NATted" and directed to the Linux box on the LAN port. That's the only way it'll work if you use NAT. > I suppose, when you buil a tunnel VPN, no port-forwarding is necessary. That's right. You don't because a VPN simply connects two chunks of a private network together using the Internet as a bridge. If you define a 192.168/16 private network and keep 192.168.1/24 in one office and 192.168.9/24 in another office and connect them using a VPN, they're all still part of the /16 with a bridge between them. The VPN does the routing between the two sections. Technically, a true VPN doesn't even IPs on the segments of the private network. It simply picks up traffic on one segment, encrypts it, shoots it over to the other end, decrypts it and spews it onto the other segment. The only reason they do use IPs is to permit you to control the VPN itself. > I wonder!! Wonder no more! ;-) > Maybe its like a woman, you have to work around. Not once you understand what's happening with incoming NAT. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - I won't rise to the occasion, but I'll slide over to it. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From karlp at ourldsfamily.com Wed Oct 20 01:28:45 2004 From: karlp at ourldsfamily.com (karlp at ourldsfamily.com) Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 19:28:45 -0600 (MDT) Subject: Newbie question: modems/paging In-Reply-To: <41740B37.5080800@vitalstream.com> References: <27ae9216041018082952959400@mail.gmail.com> <41740B37.5080800@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <14519.198.60.114.90.1098235725.squirrel@198.60.114.90> > Shane Presley wrote: >> Hello there, >> >> I hope this is the right list, if not, please point me in the right >> direction.

True, Karl, but unless you know that or are absolutely sure, it's still best to stick with a serial modem. There is no doubt with those. >>>How about paging software?

By default, /dev/video is owned by root, group of root and has 600 permissions. This means you must be the root user to open /dev/video0. Try it again as the root user. If you must run that as an unprivileged user, do this: % su - (yes, that's "su dash") Password: (put in the root password to become root) # chmod 666 /dev/video0 # exit % That makes you root, changes the permissions on /dev/video0 and changes you back to the unprivileged user. /dev/video0 should now be available to you. > I don?t really now how to troubleshoot this as I?m still a novice Linux > user.

Just discovered mkbootdisk(8) ... which seems to be the exact script that the older RH install processes invoked. And found an alternative ... create GRUB boot disk ... which can display the boot menu, allowing multiple boots ... and which is much much faster than booting a kernel from floppy. r, corey From roland at cat.be Wed Oct 20 19:26:41 2004 From: roland at cat.be (roland brouwers) Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2004 21:26:41 +0200 Subject: isolation In-Reply-To: <417597BA.80105@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <000701c4b6da$ba4fbc50$860ff80a@pccat02> > roland brouwers wrote: > >>Hello, >> >>I have an installation of a Linux server Redhat 9.0 in a network >>192.168.9.0/24, containing 2 routers.

Both router-1 and router-2 must forward port 22 to the Linux box. For this discussion, let's call the port on each router that connects to 192.168.9.0/24 the "LAN" port and the port that connects to the outside (internet or any other network) the "WAN" port. Having established that much, you must see that both routers must know that port 22 traffic coming in from the WAN port must be "NATted" and directed to the Linux box on the LAN port. That's the only way it'll work if you use NAT. > I suppose, when you buil a tunnel VPN, no port-forwarding is necessary. That's right. You don't because a VPN simply connects two chunks of a private network together using the Internet as a bridge. If you define a 192.168/16 private network and keep 192.168.1/24 in one office and 192.168.9/24 in another office and connect them using a VPN, they're all still part of the /16 with a bridge between them. The VPN does the routing between the two sections. Technically, a true VPN doesn't even IPs on the segments of the private network. It simply picks up traffic on one segment, encrypts it, shoots it over to the other end, decrypts it and spews it onto the other segment. The only reason they do use IPs is to permit you to control the VPN itself. > I wonder!! Wonder no more! ;-) > Maybe its like a woman, you have to work around. Okt,20 I have a little question: I changed the routing on the LinuxBox and added: Route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.9.97 (this is the router to the other network) >From then on I could reach the Linux Box, coming from 192.168.0/24 network Why is this necessary?

You've now forced a route so all traffic for the 192.168.0.0 network goes through the router on the other network. In fact, that shouln't work since they're different networks. As I recall, you have one network, 192.168.9.x/255.255.255.0 (or /24) which contains your Linux box AND a router that talks to the internet via NAT. You also have a second network, 192.168.1.x/255.255.255.0 (or /24) that also has a router, with its LAN port on this 192.168.1.x network and its WAN port on the other 192.168.9.x network. You should configure the Linux box as follows: route add default gw 192.168.9.address-of-internet-router That sets the default route to go out over the internet route add net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.9.address-of-bridge-router's-WAN-port And that sets up the route to the second network via the second router. > Now that I have you on line, a little other question: > How can I change the Timezone for the server and for the user?

I don't have an EL machine here, but I just checked an ES machine and you're right! None of the media drivers have been built! Weird! Well, if you want to build them, as root: # cd /usr/src/linux-2.4 # make distclean # cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config (yes, that's "dot-config") # make xconfig This will bring up your kernel configurator. Click on the "Multimedia" button and make sure the "M" radio button is colored in at the top (this says that stuff will be built as modules). If that's set, click on "Main Menu", then "Save and exit". Next, edit the "Makefile" file and change the "EXTRAVERSION=" value to match what your kernel is. In your case, you probably just need to remove the "custom" bit. It will probably initially look like: EXTRAVERSION = -20-ELcustom You probably want it to read: EXTRAVERSION = -20-EL Finally, do these commands: # make dep # make bzImage # make modules The second and third commands will take quite a while to complete.

Great machine for me since last February. You need to get at least FC2 for good performance. The chipset from ATI wasn't supported until 2.6.3 I think. Sound is supported in Alsa 1.06. I don't remember if I had to patch the kernel for Alsa to get a good mix, but basically I've been rolling my own kernels for this machine since I got it. That said, the newest stable kernel (2.6.9) has pretty much everything you'll need. Cannot help with the modem. I've never used one under Linux.

After you've transferred everything and moved the new disk to the (presumably) master location, boot with the distribution CD to rescue mode (at the boot: prompt, put "linux rescue"), let it mount your system on /mnt/sysimage, then pop out the CD and chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/hda exit exit Yeah, exit once out of the chroot shell, and again to reboot.

I have been running my HD so configured and not had any problems that "seem" to be so related. However, that may not be true. I have not had boot problems (which is what I would expect).

Several things. First, the "ln -s" command is: ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so (you must specify the libjavaplugin_oji.so bit in the symlink. If your command was accepted, you've clobbered your /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory now. Also verify that /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so actually exists.

Yowmmf! Gnaw! Gnash! Raw meat! Yum! Cable select is dangerous in several respects. First, it depends on the electronics on the drive to handle the tri-state nature of the select lines. Second, all drives must handle cable select in EXACTLY the same manner. This includes the electrical environment, backoff timing, waveform shape and the arbitration between the devices and was a problem between different drive makers (e.g. Maxtor and WD wouldn't do cable select nicely between them). Third, the electrical environment can affect the reliability of cable select. If there's lots of stray signals in your machine (as is common with older mobos), these can screw up the selection. In general, NEVER rely on cable select. IMHO, it was a stupid idea from the get-go. If you can't figure out that one drive should be jumpered as master and the other one as slave, then you really shouldn't be poking around inside your system in the first place. SCSI never supported cable select, and now you know why. It's unreliable at best. >>However, that may not be true. I have not had boot >>problems (which is what I would expect). >> >>Maybe I should pull out my drives and jumper them? > > > Nah. If it ain't broke ...

Make sure your mobo has the latest BIOS in it. The rest of the solution Bob covered pretty well in his first missive. You'll need to boot in recovery mode off the first CD and do a grub-install from the chroot environment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Try to look unimportant.

You can create all that stuff if you wish, but that's tedious, and unless you have the proper scripts, error prone to do. The easier method is to download the entire directory from the FTP site (headers and all) and burn that to your CD. This can be done using "mget *" on the FTP client or by using the "-R" option to ncftpget (recommended method).

There is a system-level timezone (see /etc/sysconfig/clock) that sets the time for the whole system. Each user can set an individual "TZ" environment variable in their profile (.bash_profie or .bashrc or whatever) should they wish to. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Hello.

Before you can install Fedora alongside Windows you will need to find or create some free (unpartitioned) space on your hard disk for it to use. You will probably need to use a third-party partitioning tool (e.g. Partition Magic, Ranish Partition Manager, or something similar) to shrink your existing Windows partition to make space for Fedora. Personally I would wait for a week or so to install Fedora Core 3 (officially due out on November 8th) but if you can't wait for it, FC2 is very stable and reliable.

You MUST back up your system fully AND make sure you can recover from the backup media before you use any of the tools. You have been warned! ;-) Personally, I back up to CD/DVD _and_ DAT tape. I also make sure the machine is plugged into a good UPS with at least 90 minutes of run time so if power poops out, I don't corrupt the system. I sometimes also sacrifice an old 3.5" floppy over a hot soldering iron to placate Murphy. You can't be too safe! Stuart's advice still holds. Regardless of what Fedora release you use, you will still need to make space on your hard drive for Fedora to live in. You must use a partition manager such as the ones he mentions to shrink down your NTFS partition to create "unused" space on your hard drive. There are other, free partition managers around, a Google search will find them (e.g. qtparted, gparted, RIP, UltimateBootCD, etc.) Whether you want FC2 or want to wait a couple of weeks for FC3 is up to you. If you're a newbie, I'd recommend FC2. FC3 will be a new release and will undoubtedly have some teething problems at first. FC2 is stable and relatively bug free. Just install it and make sure you run "yum -u update" as soon as you can to make sure it's fully updated. > Stuart Sears wrote: > >>On Tuesday 26 Oct 2004 21:54, Weston Monroe wrote: >> >> >>>I am considering installing Fedora on my IBM ThinkPad T42p.

There is a hidden recovery partition at the end of the original hard drive, some 3.5 - 5 Gigz. You can verify its existence with a "live" Linux implementation (I used an evaluation copy of Sun Microsystems' Java Desktop --a current version of Knopix might do the job also --I did not test it). The most straight forward manner is the "cfdisk" command to show all the existing partitions in your system once your live Linux has booted into its ephemeral existence. If your WinXPP is relatively untouched (i.e., you just bought your machine), you will have an easier time reformatting your hard drive rather than attempting to resize the huge NTFS partition. The reformat operation has to be done FROM WITHIN the "PreDesktop" utility (accessible by pressing the "Access IBM" button when your computer boots up) so as to avoid erasing the (already verified) hidden recovery partition at the end of your hard drive. I used my LVM based OS/2 Boot Manager to create a small 7 - 10 Gigs partition at the beginning of my 40 Gig hard drive but I assume that Partition Magic 5 and up may also be used. Please note that I attempted to resize, initially, the original 35 Gigs NTFS partition with Partition Magic 5 and it did not work; it complained of an error in the partition. Nevertheless, IBM offsets the beginning of their huge T series hard drives in order to make them available to the BIOS --and there the reason, apparently, that older (but cheap :) partitioning utilities can not resize those huge drives. Continuing where I left off, you can go to the "PreDesktop" utility and then select the recovery of your WinXPP option. It will only take the initial partition (whatever size you decided to leave for the M$ system but it should be at least 7 Gigz for the base system + the huge pagefile that is created within); the rest of the free space is left for you to do whatever you wish (with care). It should take about 1.5 - 2 hours for the whole WinXPP recovery process to finish. Since you are planning to dual boot, you may use your recovered M$ os to make a Linux partition as well. Please be aware that the partitioning scheme by Linux is quite different from the one used by M$. In order to avoid corruption between so different partitioning implementations, you may want to add a small unformatted "padding" of, say 3- 5 Megs, between your M$ partitions and your Linux ones. That way, you will decrease the chance of corrupting your partitions by either os trespassing the other's boundaries. Another "thing" that you should keep in mind when installing Fedora, regardless of how you approach the problem, is to specify the "Force LBA32" option when you are to choose either Lilo or Grub to bootstrap your system. Not doing so may introduce booting problems even for the initial WinXPP partition. Finally, please be forewarned, every situation requires careful analysis of the feedback returned by the machine. Before claiming success I corrupted a Fat32 partition that I had, reinstalled WinXPP and Fedora on several occasions as well as my OS/2 Boot Manager. Unless you are planning to install Fedora at the beginning of your drive, remember to specify the "Force LBA32" option when you are to choose your bootstrap program. The general suggestion described above worked for me when I decided to add Fedora to my OS collection in my T40. I manage the 4 operating systems residing in there with Wseb's LVM Boot Manager, located after my 7 Gigz WinXPP partition. Regards.

He needs _native_ ext2/ext3 support under XP, which he won't find. Alternately, he can run RH9 on FAT partitions, but it's horribly inefficient. Or he can mount a FAT partition under RH9 and write to that. XP will be able to see that. If he wants to mount and use NTFS, he'll need the NTFS filesystem modules that Red Hat doesn't supply. I have some on the RHIL website, but I've been very, very lax about keeping it updated. I suppose I will have to get on it again.

Have posted before and post was changed to question about "cable select", meant to get back before this but have been trying different things and as PC is a gateway to Internet have not been able to post. Anyway thanks for replies previously. Have got myself into some problems, probably self-inflicted but suppose that's how you learn! Bob, Tried installing grub like was mentioned in reply ie get into "linux rescue" and "chroot" then do a "grub-install". Did not work when I tried previously but I didn't do it exactly the way you mentioned. Installed both disks and new one was on /dev/hdb, done a "grub-install /dev/hdb" but this didn't seem to fix problem. Mentioned to a friend who suggested that if problem was in copying records I might be able to do a "dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb" - tried this but assumed that I should copy "dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1" (location of /boot directory). At this stage things took a turn for the worst, don't know if it was related but couldn't then boot the original disk. Wondered about this and think may just be a coincidence and maybe disk became corrupted with constant handling? Anyway now have to try and get original disk back. Can mount both disks with "linux rescue" and tried to copy files over but getting an error on new disk saying "Duplicate LABEL=/" and new disk not booting. Decided to find out if new disk was faulty and installed RH8.0 with disks which I have and this went ok. Mounted new and old and tried to copy from old disk to new disk but think I had problems with /etc/fstab as install on new disk was allocating partitions differently (getting "kernel panic cannot find init"). Have 2 questions. 1. Am going to proceed with install and copy all from the old disk to the new disk into a new directory (original is 40G and new is 120G). Will then install into /var /home /usr immediately but will install selectively into /etc (not /etc/fstab). Is this a good strategy and if so any tips on what files are important for /etc (eg lot of network info I need to transfer). Use Apache, vsftp, Samba and ssh amongst other things. 2. Above strategy (if it works) doesn't answer the question of why I couldn't transfer to the new disk, would love to know for future reference!! I am suspicious of something which is done by the new install every time but have no idea how I could have emulated this, anyone any answers... On new install from RH8.0 disks it installs 6 partitions something like following /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 /dev/hda2 /usr ext3 /dev/hda3 /home ext3 /dev/hda4 Extended partition type=f "DOS 95 Extended" <<<< /dev/hda5 /dev/shm ext3 /dev/hda6 /var ext3 /dev/hda7 swap In /etc/fstab there are the normal entries and an entry for /dev/shm which is allocated as tmpfs. Does this have something to do with why I couldn't mount new disk. Was able to allocate as a type f partition by using t command in fdisk but would this be enough as I never formatted extended partition and only done this after I had allocated as an extended?? Bit wordy but have tried to give enough info (have left out the more colorful language which I have used over the past days)!!

See, when you copy all the stuff over, the drive still is not in bootable condition. That's why you boot with the distro disk into rescue mode. Then you can render the new disk bootable. But you can't do that with it in its /dev/hdb position. > Mentioned to a friend who suggested that if problem was in copying > records I might be able to do a "dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb" - tried > this but assumed that I should copy "dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1" > (location of /boot directory).

That doesn't work unless both drives are exactly the same geometry (cylinders, heads, sectors per track), and neither has any bad blocks that must be blocked out. By definition, drives with different sizes can't be done that way. Even if you could dd the partitions, you still need to do the grub-install the way I instructed. > Anyway now have to try and get original disk back. > Can mount both disks with "linux rescue" and tried to copy files > over but getting an error on new disk saying "Duplicate LABEL=/" and > new disk not booting.

As much as you can, get away from the use of filesystem labels. They may be good in some situations, but can lead to confusion if two drives in the same machine have partitions labeled "/". The mount system doesn't know which "/" to mount on /. If you are starting over, take your original disk, and run "df". Then edit /etc/fstab replacing "LABEL=/foobar" with "/dev/hda7". Then copy things over to the new drive. Then move the new drive into its final position, boot to linux rescue with the distro CD, chroot, grub-install, etc. Trust me.

You don't format an extended partition. An extended partition is nothing more than a home for logical partitions. The standard (physical) partition table (which lives on the Master Boot Record, usually the first sector of the disk) can hold only four entries. If you need more than four, the first three are "primary" partitions and refer to real, usable disk space. The fourth one allocates (usually) the rest of the drive to an extended partition table that is placed elsewhere on the disk. That extended partition is then subdivided into logical partitions, which can be formatted and used.

That is correct. Red Hat does not ship NTFS modules in its kernel RPMs. You must build them, which means rebuilding the kernel from source and enabling either NTFS read-only or NTFS read-write. This doesn't mean you need to _install_ the new kernel. You must build it, then build the modules, then you can copy the NTFS modules to the appropriate run-time directory (/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.o). > SuSE comes out of the box with Read only capabilities for NTFS volumes. > Works fine. Yes, it does. Red Hat kernels don't, Fedora kernels don't, Slackware kernels don't, and I don't think Mandrake kernels have it either. By the way, we prefer bottom posting here.

Then set up port forwarding from the WAN's port 22 to port 22 on your private IP address. If you do that and you know your cable modem's IP, your son can ssh to your box for text-based sessions and he can sftp the files securely. If he wants a desktop enviroment, log in as him locally, then run "Xvnc" to set up a second desktop. Then, remotely, he can: vncviewer -via cable-modem-address cable-modem-address:1 to run VNC to display his desktop via the secured ssh tunnel. That's what I have set up.

Red Hat end-of-lifed it in April. It is now only being supported through the Fedora Legacy project. Red Hat actually only supports the Enterprise-series (Advanced Server, Enhanced Server, Enterprise Desktop and Workstation). I'd recommend you update to Fedora Core 1 or 2 (FC3 will be out in two or three weeks). Stick with FC2 if this is a production machine, as FC3 will likely have some glitches in it (as all new releases do). > When i go to install, I get an error message from make, b/c i did not > install the kernel source (Makefile:65 Linux Kernel Source not found: > stop).

Yes, get the latest source and binary RPMs from one of the Fedora Legacy mirror sites. A list of the mirrors is at http://fedoralegacy.org/download/fedoralegacy-mirrors.php You will need to fetch your update RPMs from there from now on. I'd suggest you download and install yum and set up the yum.conf file to make updates easier.

Zend Studio is great, but it is not free. They have a 30 eval, after the eval is over some features are disabled, but the basic functions still work. You lose features like FTP and Debugger. It only cost around $200 US for it is not bad, plus they have a small business plan you should look at if you plan to do a lot of PHP. You get a lot of software at a very low price if you are a small business making less then $250,000 per year. Mark.

But folks here seem to think RH9 is more stable then FC2, so i'm doing what they want. Especially since we're supporting it 100%. Got any good arguments for me to change their mind? I'm using FC2 at home, and have had great luck, except with bind, FC2 kept killing named, i changed it to my oldman RH8 box and its been rock solid. > > I'd recommend you update to Fedora Core 1 or 2 (FC3 will be out in two > or three weeks).

RH9 isn't any more stable than FC2.

Is there a reason you changed the (hd0,0) to (hd0,2) in your edited version? Which partition is /boot on? I have to ask, because the "root=" refers to grub's root, NOT the OS's root! Grub has to find its stuff somewhere, and you've now got it set to look at the third primary partition on the first drive. By the way, we prefer bottom-posting here. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Rick Stevens" > To: "Getting started with Red Hat Linux" > Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 2:44 PM > Subject: Re: RHEL 3 doesn't boot after successful install on HP Vectra 6/150 > > > >>Krzysztof wrote: >> >>>Installation works like a charm every time. >>>I have two hard drives, 8GB and 2GB that I partition manually using Disk >>>Druid. >>>I create /boot, /, /var, /usr, and swap partition as prescribed.

Someone have give me suggestion for this problem is used KDE, after install KDE, make sound card daul-work option open, it sound card is working alright. But,question is: 1. KDE is slow in this computer. is it reasonable? how can i do for that? or remove KDE will not make sound card silence again. 2. KDE have some windows will jump out, it is will fixed when we shut of the server service llim.But maybe other service is still unusable, it is still working in this machine, how can i turn off no used service make the computer speed up. 3.the FC2 workstation install will make printiner service installed, but i have no printer. and will used printer in linux. how can i remove this printing server? RPM have not provide this alone. wish some kindly man can give me some suggestion. steven _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? 150??MP3???????????? http://cn.rd.yahoo.com/mail_cn/tag/yisou/music/*http://music.yisou.com/ ??????????????????? http://cn.rd.yahoo.com/mail_cn/tag/yisou/image/*http://image.yisou.com 1G??1000??????????? http://cn.rd.yahoo.com/mail_cn/tag/1g/*http://cn.mail.yahoo.com/event/mail_1g/ From moulatm at menara.ma Sat Oct 30 21:47:41 2004 From: moulatm at menara.ma (othma El Moulat) Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2004 21:47:41 +0000 Subject: strange Problem with Monitor on RH 9 Message-ID: <200410302147.41773.moulatm@menara.ma> Hi guys; I'm facing a realy strange problem wih my PC's monitor when running RH 9...the screen monitor looks fuzzy unstable and keeps waving ...I don't know from where this problem came! but what is strange about it is that this problem disappeare when i boot on the windows partition box on the same machine!

Still having problems. I managed to get old disk back on and changed settings in /etc/fstab from LABEL to /dev/hda. Copied files to new disk using cp and looked ok. Created new proc directory and next step was to put disk in final position and boot to cd and try installing Grub via "linux rescue". Problems started here... First configuration was new disk only and the "linux rescue"could not find an image on the new disk. Couldn't find Grub to install on the disk. Tried just booting but prints "Verifying DMI..." then "GRUB " and halts there. Put the new disk in as master and the old disk in as slave and tried again. This time with "linux rescue" it reports that both images were available but when I try to mount either of them I get an error saying they may be only partially mounted. Can't chroot into them and can't use Grub. When I put the old disk in as master and the new as the slave I can find images on both disks using the rescue disk and can mount either of them. Did not want to use Grub here as I think I have already tried this, new disk is /dev/hdb. Think I have already had problems with this but cannot remember so would be grateful for any help. Thought about trying couple of things. 1. Use rescue with old=master and new=slave and install with grub. Is it best to chroot to the old or new disk? 2. Did not use fsck on new disk will check now. 3. Any difference if I use a boot disk? Thanks for any help, I dream one day of having this installed.

Electro magnetic interference from anything in the environment. Is there a fan, another monitor, or other elecrical devices nearby? If so, remove them and retest. Could be a simple fix. (not to insult you if you already know this - I don't know your knowledge level) 2. Ok, so you can run windows on it so that means the hardware is most likely just fine. 3. Are there any power save features happening in the bios? A box of mine does 'sleep' power save by default, you have to go into the bios and make sure your monitor isn't getting a bit too narcoleptic. :) 4. Reboot the machine and try to get to a command prompt where you should be able to log in normally. If it doesn't take you to a desktop, then you have a problem with the X Window configuration. 5. man Xf86Config will give you a lot of information. Read that thorougly. 6. If you can get a command prompt, try to do the command 'startx'. See what happens and let us know and we can go from there. 7. How long was this working prior to stopping working? If you recently installed it, you may have chosen the wrong horizontal and/or vertical refresh display settings for the monitor. How old is the monitor? We need more information. 8. Examine /etc/X11/XF86Config closely. This is very similar to the RHEL3 version of the same file. Look for a section headed 'Monitor'. You can then use vi or another editor to change the values to something LESS than what you find. For example, it might say: Horizsynch 35.0 - 40.0 # (change this to 30-35, for example) VertiRefresh 40.0 - 50.0 Alternatively you can run the command redhat-config-xfree86; it will edit the files behind the scenes based on the choices you select. If you can't find your exact model listed, my recommendation is not to probe unless you know what you are doing. Try your generic options first; they will often fix this sort of thing. Hopefully that will give you a start. Cheers, -- Marc Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think.

I'm guessing his signal will come to the Modem which will forward everything to the Linksys switch. The switch will see something coming in on Port 22 and forward it to the computer also running SSH (or PUTTY) which will handle the login and then do nothing. Then he runs RealVNC to see the remote screen on his local computer and he can do as he wants from there. I suspect some of the things he will want to do are: check remote email pull up old reports he written for other classes (this remote machine was his school computer prior to his new notebook this year) Print these reports - will he be able to print locally or only remote at my house? Down load files from home to school. Based on the VPN conncetion I have from home to work I don't think he will be able to do the last two (at least I can't with my work computer). If he can't how does he do that?

I will proceed by elimination through the steps you specified in your reply... 1.i's not a matter of electromagnetic interference...i don't have any electronic device near my Machine... 2.Yes my windoz box is running fine i don't have this problem if i boot into my windoz box... 3.what are the parameters that i should verify in the bios ? 6.here is what i got when i run startx: Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. Please report problems to xfree86 at xfree86.org. 7. my system was working fine when i first installed it...this problem started only when my Machine shut down strangely without any body touches it !
