I've upgraded 2 of the systems to FC5 and the same processes don't work.

Even a dreaded MS-like reboot did nothing. I've checked permissions and whatever else I could think of with a fuzzy brain.

The USB drive was originally formatted with FAT32 or similar, so it would not handle the large file size of the image. G4L can break the image into multiple files, but I was unable to get that to work. So I reformatted the drive as an ext3 (I think) and just created one large image file. G4L also comes with a script that writes a giant file full of 0x00, using all available drive space, then deletes the file. When compression (I used gz) is enabled on the image creation, the sectors holding 0x00 take very little space in the image. So the backup drive doesn't need to be as large (or larger) than the drive being backed up if the drive being backed up is not full. For off site storage, Amazon's Simple Storage Service (http://aws.amaxon.com/s3) looks interesting, though it appears "objects" are limited to 5GB in size. Anyway, THANKS to listmembers, I now feel a bit more comfortable about my backups! Thanks! Harold -- FCC Rules Updated Daily at http://www.hallikainen.com - Advertising opportunities available!

For example, two systems running the same version of redhat os. One server has apache running on it and has all the packages in /var/www/html/up2date/ via a sym link to /var/spool/up2date. When I try to do rpm -Fvh http://192.168.100.2/up2date/*.rpm I get the following error: "error: File not found by glob: http://192.168.100.2/up2date/*.rpm" When I try this with a specific rpm package name it works fine. When I connect a browser to the http server all the packages are there. I know I could use a nfs mount to accomplish this, but would like to do this via http if possible. We have all the entitlements to cover the various boxes, but due to bandwidth issues at field offices it would be nice to be able to share these updates between like boxes on local lans without having to hit rhn or our HQ rhn proxy.

The most correct thing is to boot in rescue mode off either CD #1, the rescue CD or the DVD. At the "boot:" prompt, enter "rescue" and press ENTER. When the system asks if you want the system disk mounted, select "Yes". When the "#" prompt comes back, the root filesystem of the crashed system will be mounted at /mnt/sysimage. Edit "/mnt/sysimage/etc/fstab" and comment out the lines referring to "/mnt/raid" and "/mnt/raid2" and save the file. At the command prompt, enter "exit" and the system will pop out the CD/DVD and reboot. The original system should come up WITHOUT trying to mount the crashed disk.

You have to remember that globbing on a command is processed by the shell BEFORE the command is executed. The glob won't work on HTTP or FTP operations since the shell doesn't know how to use HTTP or FTP to get filelists. I think rpm itself is smart enough to do what you need, so you might try the command: rpm -Fvh http://192.168.100.2/up2date That way rpm will pick up the filelist. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - You possess a mind not merely twisted, but actually sprained. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From redhat at buglecreek.com Wed Sep 6 20:24:51 2006 From: redhat at buglecreek.com (redhat at buglecreek.com) Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2006 14:24:51 -0600 Subject: RPM installation via http In-Reply-To: <1157567285.5620.119.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> References: <1157564185.32469.270282310@webmail.messagingengine.com> <1157567285.5620.119.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> Message-ID: <1157574291.18122.270297650@webmail.messagingengine.com> On Wed, 06 Sep 2006 11:28:05 -0700, "Rick Stevens" said: > On Wed, 2006-09-06 at 11:36 -0600, redhat at buglecreek.com wrote: > > Is anyone aware of a way to install multiple rpm packages via a http > > server on a local lan.

Any other > suggestions? Well, you can't do a wildcard (glob) thing and a pure http doesn't work with rpm. Hmmmm. I see a couple of possibilities: 1. You could use nrh-up2date (http://nrh-up2date.sourceforge.net/) to create a local up2date server on the HTTP server machine, then use up2date and the nrh-up2date system as the repository. 2. To make globbing work, you could use wget to fetch all of the RPMs to a local directory and use "rpm -Fvh /path/to/RPM/download/*.rpm" to do the update. A USB or firewire external drive is good for this. A 20G USB drive is only US $50 or so now and should be plenty large enough. 3. You could burn a CD or DVD with the RPMs on the server, mount it on the client and run rpm against it ("rpm -Fvh /media/cdrom/*.rpm"). 4. You could convert the http directory to a YUM-style repository, download and install yum on the client machine (Fedora Core comes with it) and update via "yum -y update". The simplest one is number 2--if you have the spare disk space for it. up2date is the standard updater for RHEL, yum is the standard for Fedora Core and several others. Both of them understand globbing and do it internally. rpm has the shell expand globs and obviously the shell can't do it. Sorry I don't have any other answers for you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Overweight: When you step on your dog's tail...and it dies. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From dmhunter at charter.net Thu Sep 7 02:21:17 2006 From: dmhunter at charter.net (Dan Hunter) Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2006 21:21:17 -0500 Subject: Boot lockup References: <000a01c6d16b$47c3adb0$64011811@mutant> <1157566004.5620.110.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> Message-ID: <004a01c6d224$4d200ec0$64011811@mutant> Absolutely excellent!

A full 64-bit system will have most of the utilities (/bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, etc.) built with 64-bit as well as having full 64-bit libraries (/usr/lib64 as well as /usr/lib). Can you run a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit utilities? Sure. Will it buy you much? Not really. For example, I run an Opteron at home with full FC5 64-bit stuff. Real grunt work (compilations, OpenOffice, etc.) are MUCH faster under 64-bit. I do run some 32-bit apps on it, however. Some examples are: 32-bit firefox so I can have Flash (there's no Flash plugin for 64-bit), Skype (no 64-bit version available), and Opera (same thing). They work fine and do seem a bit faster, but that's a purely subjective opinion. I've done no benchmarking on them. Your mileage may vary. It won't hurt to try running a 64-bit kernel and see what you think.

For VoIP, I just installed the latest Gizmo Project, and it > seems to work fine. I kept the 64-bit FireFox. I just downloaded the 32-bit RPM and did an "rpm -ivh --force /path/to/32-bit/rpm/firefox.whatever.rpm". Then I grabbed the Flash player and buggered the OS detection bit of their install script. Look in the installer script for a call to "uname -m". Then add a clause that duplicates the i686 stuff. It'll be around line 252. Here's how I modified it: TEMPARCH=`uname -m` case $TEMPARCH in i[3456]86) ARCH=i386 ;; NEW-> x86_64) NEW-> ARCH=i386 NEW-> ;; Then run the installer as normal. When it asks you where to install the FLASH player, specify "/usr/lib/firefox". Then I added a new icon to the desktop that specifically runs /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin and labeled it "Firefox (32-bit)". Voila! Click on the original icon, you get 64-bit Firefox. Click on the new one and you get 32-bit Firefox with Flash. If you like, delete the old icon. I like having both. Actually, I have four...mozilla (64-bit), firefox (64- and 32-bit), and Opera (32-bit).

Yes. As I said, FTP supports globbing. Most FTP clients enable globbing by default and it must be disabled if you want to use globs literally: ftp> glob on ftp> glob off > I believe that bash is not interfering at all - there will be no logical > local completion for a path like "http://server/*.rpm" (or ftp://...) so > I would guess the * is passed verbatim to rpm - it seems the only > logical explanation to me.

Correct? Well, yes. Or install the 64-bit OS. As I mentioned, 32-bit stuff will run fine (provided you have the appropriate 32-bit libraries installed as well), but the 64-bit specific stuff will go like greased lightning out of hell. Example: Full kernel compile on a 2GHz Opteron (Opteron 3000) takes about 10-12 minutes. Same thing on a 2.8GHz Xeon takes well over 25 minutes. > If so, I was afraid of that... Yup. You didn't think there was a free lunch involved now, did you? :-) Now, note that the 64-bit kernel WILL allow you to run more 32-bit apps faster as it can access more memory directly and its memory management (elevator code) is more efficient when context switching than the 32-bit kernel. It's not a significant difference, but its there. IMHO, if you're going to go 64-bit, go 64-bit all the way. Revert to 32-bit when you must. Most Linux apps are available in 64-bit versions. Some stuff isn't, but that's where the Athlon64/Opteron ability to run both types simulaneously absolutely shines. As I said, I use several 32-bit apps just fine (including Skype). Really, once you go 64-bit, it's REALLY hard to go back. And if you can go 64-bit dual core, well... :-D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Time: Nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From harold at hallikainen.com Sat Sep 9 03:44:14 2006 From: harold at hallikainen.com (Harold Hallikainen) Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2006 20:44:14 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Upgrading from 32 bit to 64 bit In-Reply-To: <1157668202.5620.179.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> References: <1157661993.5620.164.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> <55743.207.177.227.29.1157663487.squirrel@sujan.hallikainen.org> <1157668202.5620.179.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> Message-ID: <33263.192.168.1.1.1157773454.squirrel@sujan.hallikainen.org> > On Thu, 2006-09-07 at 14:11 -0700, Harold Hallikainen wrote: >> > On Thu, 2006-09-07 at 10:32 -0700, Waldher, Travis R wrote: >> >> What is involved for Redhat AS 4.0? >> >> >> >> The system was initially built 32bit, but some users would like it >> >> running in 64. >> >> >> >> Is it as simple as loading a different kernel? :fingerscrossed: >> > >> > Well, yeah, but most of your applications won't be accelerated that >> > much.

I can now see Flash! I put the 32 bit Firefox in /usr/bin32/firefox . The Mozilla site had a gz instead of an rpm, so untarred it in /usr/bin32/firefox. On the Flash installer script, I just commented out the exit in the architecture check, so the script continued on instead of exiting on finding the 64 bit architecture. Thanks!

This brings up a login after you boot and some other stuff. It should look like this: x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon If, however, "startx" didn't bring up X-Windows, you will need to install the X-Window System and at least one desktop environment. You can do this by booting the installation CD and selecting an "Upgrade". Leave everything else they way you initially installed it, except when it comes time to select package groups, Select the "X Windows System" and (most use Gnome) "Gnome Desktop Environment", and any other software you want that's listed. Once it's been upgraded, you'll reboot and get a graphical login. Setup some user accounts and use those to do your work, not the root account. Once you have an X-Windows system to use, you can upgrade packages with the package management tool. [Applications]->[System Settings]->[Add/Remove Applications] or Type at a shell prompt: system-config-packages To upgrade existing packages you should be using "up2date" with Red Hat Network if you have a subscription. --Cal Webster On Mon, 2006-09-11 at 13:09, Steve Rieger wrote: > try startx > > if you get a nice pretty GUI then you have an interface, of not its > still command line. > > > som sahi wrote: > > Hi I am using red hat linux 4 upgarde 2. > > Please let me know whether it is command based only or it has user > > interface also. > > And if it has user interface how to use it or find it > > My support team saying no user interface.it is command based only. > > > > But I have installed websphere on the system(using commands) > > And Now I have to create a new project on that.and writing java codes > > etc etc etc > > Regards > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Get your own web address for just $1.99/1st yr > > <%20http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=43290/*http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains>. > > We'll help.

We don't run "X" on our server consoles for reliability reasons. We've had XWindows up and die on it's own in the past, in the process causing the machine to not boot. (At least I couldn't find any admins to claim that they changed any X related files) The simple response was, after fixing the server, just bring up our servers in runtime level 3. Afterall, who needs a GUI on a server console? Just saying that what they said, while patently false for the operating system, may be accurate for how they configured their environment.

You can use disk|filesystem images (tools like Ghost, Mondo Rescue, Partimage and many others are capable of this) You can also use kickstart files to install multiple machines with exactly the same configurations (this would be my preferred option, unless the configurations you need to do involve an awful lot of third-party software and driver installations) > Is it a recommended installation procedure? Yes, absolutely Kickstart is a supported installation method. on the other hand, disk imaging would reuire you to use software that Red Hat do not ship or support, but other companies may support software that does this. > How do I prepare a clone to install on other servers, what considerations > should I have? network/other system-specific config files will differ on systems that are built from a ghosted image (unless everything is automatically configured using something like DHCP) Disk images usually rely on hard disks being at least the same size in your clone builds > Can I easily modify the File Systems on a server installed with a clone? in what way? size and layout? this is where kickstart might come in useful. If you leave filesystem information out of a kickstart profile you will be prompted for this (and only this). kickstart profiles are also trivial to copy and alter - they are just plain text files, after all. i have about 12 of them on my laptop right now. on the other hand they will usually require a network-based install server for really efficient setups, but this will only need setting up once. Altering a full system image is likely to be more complicated than this, and each image you keep takes up a lot of space, even with compression. > The pros and cons of making a clone installation? Nearly all of the machines I administer are installed in precisely this way - I use a combination of PXE and kickstart profiles to set up many different system profiles. Kickstart does not clone your user data, however, it is a set of installation instructions that can be given to the Red Hat system installer (aka anaconda) If you are only looking at repeating the setup process in identical ways on multiple systems, that are all running RHEL, then /me opines that kickstart is a good choice. in a mixed environment I might be tempted to use system imaging instead, which would work for almost any OS. regards Stuart - -- Stuart Sears RHCA RHCX "Quit worrying about your health.

Depends on your mechanism. If you ghost the drive (either by using Norton Ghost itself or one of the Linux ghost work-alikes), you must meet the ghost requirements (same size drive, etc.). I have ghost images of machines on CDs and USB/Firewire hard drives. Note that these ghost images are made BEFORE a machine has been configured (e.g. before "firstboot" is ever run). > Can I easily modify the File Systems on a server installed with a > clone? It's a clone. The same restrictions you have on the original will be in place on the clone. If you're talking about resizing filesystems and the like via LVM, you must have free partition space available, etc. > The pros and cons of making a clone installation? It's certainly faster than a fresh install. You have to change things such as the hostname of the machine and update the network configuration. You may wish to run "firstboot --configure" as well. Once that's done, if you plan to use up2date, you'll need to purge out the /etc/sysconfig/rhn directory and regenerate the stuff via "up2date --configure" and register it via "up2date --register". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward getting - - medicated for it. -- Jim Evarts (http://www.TopFive.com) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Sep 12 18:18:05 2006 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2006 11:18:05 -0700 Subject: red hat user interface urgent In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1158085085.1267.116.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Tue, 2006-09-12 at 08:01 -0700, Waldher, Travis R wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Rick Stevens [mailto:rstevens at vitalstream.com] > > Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 11:21 AM > > To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > > Subject: Re: red hat user interface urgent > > > > On Mon, 2006-09-11 at 10:05 -0700, som sahi wrote: > > > Hi I am using red hat linux 4 upgarde 2. > > > Please let me know whether it is command based only or it has user > > > interface also. > > > And if it has user interface how to use it or find it > > > My support team saying no user interface.it is command based only. > > > > Your support team had better do some reading.

Yes, I agree, but the way I interpreted what the OP said was that RHEL doesn't have a GUI, and that's wrong. Whether it's installed or not is a different matter.

Other suggestions? There isn't any way to get it to preempt the mount, but you can turn off automounting of blank CDs. Go to "Desktop->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media" and uncheck the "Perform action on blank discs when inserted" option. Or simply kill the Nautilus "burn CD" window when it comes up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the - - reader...who doesn't get it. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From sahi_1000 at yahoo.com Wed Sep 13 01:16:31 2006 From: sahi_1000 at yahoo.com (som sahi) Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2006 18:16:31 -0700 (PDT) Subject: websphere linux Message-ID: <20060913011631.3660.qmail@web52015.mail.yahoo.com> Hi I am trying to deploy application on websphere 6.0 with red hat4.

It's at 4.1.1. > Okay, I admit it. I'm stumped. Ideas anyone???? Did you do a full update? Why just the kernel and libraries? You really should do a full update. The libraries are actually controlled by the /etc/ld.so.conf file, not LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You might try editing that file and commenting out the /usr/nsr/lib path, then running "ldconfig -v" and verifying that it isn't included anymore. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - I haven't lost my mind.

I was not aware of that particular config file (I'm a old SunOS -> Solaris -> IRIX -> and now Linux hack). Obviously learning as I go... but this one really had me stumped, because I missed how the lib path was controlled. Now I need to figure out if removing that path will cause other issues... like with Networker... To answer your questions: I wasn't sure what information would be pertinent. Yes, this is RHEL 4 (nahant). I did a "full" update, and I should have put it that way. You're right, I made it sound like I only updated the kernel and libs - not what I had intended.

Those kinds of errors are usually indicative of a dying drive. You're receiving CRC errors on the DMA transfers and seek incomplete errors. This can also be caused by a dying power supply--particularly the +12VDC side of things, since that's what's used to turn the spindle and move the heads. If you have the technical competence and a multimeter, check the voltages AT THE DRIVE using the meter. You want the +12VDC level at about 12.7 to 13.0 volts. IIRC, the 12V should be between the black (ground) and yellow wires on the drive connector. If they're low, you should think about a new power supply. If the voltages seem OK, then plan on a new drive in the near future. While you're in there, also make sure all the fans are running well (they do wear out). You could also blow dust out using a can of Dust Off. Use care so you don't force dirt down into any of the connectors such as the CPU, memory, PCI bus, etc. It's amazing how much crud accumulates in a case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From mnair at iusb.edu Mon Sep 18 18:22:47 2006 From: mnair at iusb.edu (Nair, Murlidharan T) Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 14:22:47 -0400 Subject: 403 error References: <004001c6ace7$744db3b0$0200a8c0@Hope> <41904.207.173.117.242.1158591250.squirrel@webmail.ourldsfamily.com> Message-ID: I am getting the following error while trying getting a virtualHost up and running.

I have a vacuum with a REALLY small tip (home brewed) that I use a lot along with one of those soft brushes you get at the car wash for your dashboard (or fascia). They work quite well and you really don't risk forcing crud down into nasty places where it causes grief. I also unplug PCI cards, RAM and CPUs (when I can) and shoot their sockets with Freon TF. A quick swipe of a soft artgum eraser on the connector fingers of the PCI cards and RAM sticks helps, too. A clean computer is a happy computer! > Much Thanks.

You need to download the first CD ISO image and mount it. E.g. # mkdir -p /mnt/work # mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/iso/image /mnt/work On it, you'll find an images/diskboot.img file. Copy that to your pen drive using dd. If the pen drive shows up as /dev/sda, then # dd if=/mnt/work/images/diskboot.img of=/dev/sda bs=2K Then boot from the pen drive, assuming your BIOS supports it. If not, and you have a floppy drive, then download SmartBootManager http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4185 and put it on a floppy. Boot from floppy, specify next boot from the pen drive and voila! From there, you can do net, diskimage, http or ftp install (all the standard install stuff is there). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Cuteness can be overcome through sufficient bastardry - - --Mark 'Kamikaze' Hughes - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From johan.lithander at teligent.se Tue Sep 19 07:01:44 2006 From: johan.lithander at teligent.se (Johan Lithander) Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2006 09:01:44 +0200 Subject: 403 error In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <001b01c6dbb9$77a25d80$230115ac@teligent.org> _____ From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Nair, Murlidharan T Sent: den 18 september 2006 21:36 To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux Subject: RE: 403 error _____ From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com on behalf of Johan Lithander Sent: Mon 9/18/2006 1:47 PM To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux Cc: Getting started with Red Hat Linux Subject: Re: 403 error > I am getting the following error while trying getting a virtualHost up and > running. > > Forbidden > > > You don't have permission to access / on this server. > > Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an > ErrorDocument to handle the request. > > My main server is running fine www.bioinformatics.iusb.edu but > splice.bioinformatics.iusb.edu which is a virtual host gives the above > error.

I'm not sure I would agree with the voltage figures. We are powering electronics, not charging a battery. The better the power supply, the closer it can maintain *precisely* 12V with less ripple, over a wider range of loads. A quick google on "pc power supply 12v rail tolerance" turned up an article claiming that the Intel spec for ATX is +/- 5%, or 0.6V on the 12V rail. If you're at 13, you're probably cooking something. I'd look into that a bit more . . . __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

As I browsed the uninitialized drives on the PowerVault, I accidentally/on purpose initialized a disk with a linux boot partition. It's just my tinkering habit. Now my system boots to grub> (that's it). Certainly I hosed my Grub boot. Where i'm at.. I found that there were two bootable partitions on the machine. One on sda1, and one on sdb1. I toggled the boot flag on sdb1 (off) because I only run Linux and sda1 is the logical boot. (Is the above correct thinking). I can always restore the flag. I have booted my machine using the Fedora cd and typee "linux rescue". This found my install and I have chosen to "chroot /mnt/sysimage". I can see all my data. When I tried "grub-install /dev/sda", I get the following. "/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly" What's my next step (maybe I should get into landscaping) ?

Well, gee. My first guess is that you're using a separate /boot partition and it's not mounted, so grub-install can't even find the stage 1 boot code. After the "chmod /mnt/sysimage", try doing a # mount -a That will force all of the other mounts that are normally done in your operating environment, including mounting /boot if it _is_ a separate partition. Once that's done, verify that your /boot/grub/stage1 file is 512 bytes in length. If it is, then try your "grub-install /dev/sda" again and see if it goes OK. If it does, then enter "exit" twice (first to get out of the chroot environment, second to exit the rescue boot), pop out the CD and see if she'll boot up. As for landscaping, I hate raking leaves and mowing lawns (did enough of that when I was a teen 40 years ago). I have a gardener. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If your broker is so damned smart...why is he still working? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Fri Sep 22 19:30:35 2006 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 12:30:35 -0700 Subject: Lexmark printer drivers In-Reply-To: <1158877083.2614.9.camel@localhost.localdomain> References: <1158877083.2614.9.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <1158953435.18867.70.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Thu, 2006-09-21 at 17:18 -0500, Fred Grant wrote: > I see that Lexmark now offers a "roll your own" printer driver > development kit.

Hey, ANY excuse to upgrade is a good thing. FC5 and CentOS 4.4 work quite well, if you want freebies.

If you mean in place of the new drive(s), yes, that's trivial. If you mean in addition to the new drives, yes, it's easy, with a few caveats. > Is this possible? Check your /etc/fstab. If it has entries that look like LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 instead of /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 and the old drives also have mounts by labels in their /etc/fstab, it will have a problem upon booting figuring out which partition with a /boot label to mount on /boot. On your new, operational disks change the labels to real device names (run "df" to find out what they are), then shut down, install the old drive(s), and reboot. When you temporarily mount the old partitions, create a scratch mount point (directory) such as /oldstuff, and use device names, not labels, when you do the mounts.

You do use a separate boot partition, and it looks like the filesystem label for it has been stomped on. If you know what the physical disk name for it was, then do a e2label /dev/devname /boot For example, I know that my boot partition is /dev/sda3, so: e2label /dev/sda3 /boot If you don't know, try "fdisk -l /dev/device-name" and look for the entry with a "*" in the second field. In my case: [root at ss-1a root]# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 36.3 GB, 36364615680 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4421 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 8 64228+ de Dell Utility /dev/sda2 9 335 2626627+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 * 336 360 200812+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 361 4421 32619982+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 361 1634 10233373+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 1635 2908 10233373+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 2909 3169 2096451 83 Linux /dev/sda8 3170 3300 1052226 83 Linux /dev/sda9 3301 3554 2040223+ 82 Linux swap Note the "*" in the second field for /dev/sda3. That's my boot partition. So find yours and make sure it's labeled. Then do the "mount -a" again and make sure /boot gets mounted. Now that you have all of your filesystems mounted (except /dev/shm which is no biggie), you'll want to do your infamous "grub-install /dev/sda" again. Since /boot is now mounted, it should work a treat. > mount: mount point /dev/shm does not exist. > > I believe /dev/shm the drive from the Powervault that I > initialized in the LVM Manager. No, that's the shared memory segment for System V IPC stuff, and I wouldn't worry about it in this case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Where there's a will, I want to be in it. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From bret_stern at machinemanagement.com Mon Sep 25 19:36:14 2006 From: bret_stern at machinemanagement.com (Bret Stern) Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 12:36:14 -0700 Subject: FW: Boot Problem after Playing with Powervault Message-ID: <200609251939.k8PJdei0030928@ns2.netmagic.net> > On Fri, 2006-09-22 at 22:42 -0700, Bret Stern wrote: > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com > > [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Rick > > Stevens > > Sent: Friday, September 22, 2006 12:31 PM > > To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > > Subject: Re: Boot Problem after Playing with Powervault > > > > On Fri, 2006-09-22 at 12:19 -0700, Rick Stevens wrote: > > > On Fri, 2006-09-22 at 10:47 -0700, Bret Stern wrote: > > > > So.. > > > > > > > > Last night I added a recently purchased Dell Powervault > 210s to my > > > > Dell 2450 running Fedora 5. > > > > > > > > As I browsed the uninitialized drives on the PowerVault, I > > > > accidentally/on purpose initialized a disk with a linux > boot partition. > > > > It's just my tinkering habit. > > > > > > > > Now my system boots to grub> (that's it).

It can't be that bad. Currently I can boot from Fedora 5 cd in Linux rescue chroot to /mnt/sysimage start my services and the system runs great. Without the Fedora 5 cd, I just get "GRUB>" Is there no way to rebuild the boot partition on /dev/sda1? Perhaps re-install Fedora 5 as an UPGRADE, and not add any packages?? Worst case, I can back everything up and do a fresh install. Thanks for all your input.

If so, then you should verify that the Outlook clients are indeed running POP3 and that they're not using any special authentication mechanisms.

Well, yes, if you changed IP addresses, it's possible that the clients either cached the old IP address (and if they're Windows machines, they will summarily ignore the TTL on DNS records) or the routers, switches or client ARP tables had invalid data for the server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - grep me no patterns and I'll tell you no lines - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Thu Sep 28 17:20:30 2006 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2006 10:20:30 -0700 Subject: service named failed In-Reply-To: <13074E1DC446D846B6AED445675F73681DEF3E@majil.it-centre.ru> References: <13074E1DC446D846B6AED445675F73681DEF3E@majil.it-centre.ru> Message-ID: <1159464030.18867.188.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Thu, 2006-09-28 at 17:36 +0400, A.Fadyushin at it-centre.ru wrote: > Are there any error messages from named in syslog (or named log file)? > It seems that GUI control for named uses rndc for communicating with > named and, of course, can not connect to non-running named to sent the > command (even a start command).

That would be "/etc/rc.d/init.d/named start". Also note that if you're trying to control a remote named, rndc uses TCP and UDP port 953, so that would have to be open on your firewall. This doesn't hold true if you're trying to manipulate named on localhost.

Have you enabled the cgi boolean for httpd? # setsebool -P httpd_enable_cgi=1 what is the context on /mnt/webservice and its subdirectories? # ls -Zd mnt/webservice/splicecgi-bin # ls -Zd /mnt/webservice/splicehtml does normal http service work for those virtualhosts? > Here is what my httpd.cnf looks like since it is a virtual host. > Thanks ../Murli I have set the http_enable_cgi=1 [root at bioinformatics ~]# ls -Zd /mnt/webservice/splicecgi-bin/ drwxrwxrwx root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t /mnt/webservice/splicecgi-bin/ [root at bioinformatics ~]# ls -Zd /mnt/webservice/splicehtml/ drwxrwxrwx root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t /mnt/webservice/splicehtml/ Here is the last couple of lines from /var/log/messages Sep 29 12:07:50 bioinformatics kernel: audit(1159546070.572:41083): avc: denied { search } for pid=9516 comm="tes t_code.cgi" name="mnt" dev=sda5 ino=98305 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:mnt_t tclass=dir Sep 29 12:09:23 bioinformatics kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: input irq status -84 received Thanks for your help.

I've been interested in this since finding and using (credit card CD) BBC-LNX and DSL for some maintenance issues on some PCs. (I have DSL running on our WillCall PC; cool). I bought a Everex StepNote laptop and installed FC5 on hda2 (WinXP is on hda1). It works great. If I boot with a 512MB thumb drive, it says Operating System Missing. I followed the above prompt, and it just hangs now. I had to dd of=/dev/sda1, however, not just sda because it didn't even recognize the thumb drive on boot and went straight to GRUB. So, any hints? I've tried both distros with no luck on both a 128MB and 512MB thumb drive.
