I've configured it by hand and it worked fine. Then all of a sudden any attachments were limited and I was thinking maybe there was a limit to the attachment size in fetchmail (which there is). I'd used fetchmailconf before and it lets you configure just about everything you could want but when I run it the display is wider and taller then the screen. I can pull it left and right but not up and down (well I can pull it down but that doesn't help). If you've ever seen the config it's just boxes with words in it and you check things on and off or put in a response. These boxes are now so large they take up the whole screen. I fixed my download problem - well not fixed it as my ISP (comcast.net) limits downloaded email to 80K so I need to talk with them. But I would still like to fix this size problem. It may have all started when I got my 19" monitor (HP M900) and once I configured things for it I've had different display problems (like the login screen is so big I have to type blind). I don't think I've got a Nortons control pannel anywhere on this system - I'm the one that did the Ximan Evolution upgrade and Ximan took over the computer, I'm about ready to blow everything away and reinstall RH 9 but then I'd be without all the upgrades. Anyway any suggestions would be great and remember I'm a novice user and I need straight forward directions. Thanks, -- Brad Mugleston, KI0OT There are 10 types of people in this world.

The first thing is to check your RAM as an oops this early in the boot is usually indicative of bad RAM. Don't assume that the memory is good just because the system will run Windows. Linux flogs RAM much harder than Windows and marginal memory WILL fail. I've seen it far too many times. If you're using Fedora Core 1 or 2 (and possibly Red Hat 9, I can't remember), boot from the first CD and at the "boot:" prompt, try entering "memtest86". If you don't have memtest86 on the CD, try downloading it from http://www.memtest86.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Microsoft is a cross between The Borg and the Ferengi. - - Unfortunately they use Borg to do their marketing and Ferengi to - - do their programming." -- Simon Slavin - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From jreyn at us.ibm.com Mon Aug 2 21:03:04 2004 From: jreyn at us.ibm.com (John Reynolds) Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 14:03:04 -0700 Subject: /dev is zapped In-Reply-To: Message-ID: I have a Dell runing RedHat 7.1.

(At the boot prompt, put "linux rescue".) Let it mount your installation. I don't recall if your CD is mounted at that point. I think not, but run mount to see if it is. If it isn't, you may need to create a mount point, say, /mnt/cdrom, then mount it: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom Then rpm -ivh --force -root /mnt/sysimage /mnt/cdrom/Red*/RPMS/dev-*.rpm That will install the devices from the RPM. When done, exit and pop out the CD and it should boot normally. Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. robertmcclure at earthlink.net http://www.bobcatos.com Grace happens.

Try booting in rescue mode if possible, then reinstall the dev RPM from your CDs. I probably still have a copy of it somewhere if you can't find yours. By the way, 7.1 has been dead for well over two years and as far as I know, there is no active support for it. You really should upgrade to Fedora Core 1 or 2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Try to look unimportant.

If you have your install CDs... boot from disc 1 (if you can, if not then from a boot floppy) and type linux rescue at the 'boot:' prompt then in the rescue environment you can force install the dev....rpm package if you like ie rpm -ivh --force --root /mnt/sysimage \ /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/dev-thingy-wotsit.rpm (if you are booting from CD the CD is automatically mounted under /mnt/source using NFS) you will get some error messages about updating the rpm database, but you can ignore these... > HTH Stuart -- Stuart Sears RHCE, RHCX From mgalgoci at redhat.com Mon Aug 2 21:18:53 2004 From: mgalgoci at redhat.com (Matthew Galgoci) Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 17:18:53 -0400 (EDT) Subject: /dev is zapped In-Reply-To: Message-ID: On Mon, 2 Aug 2004, John Reynolds wrote: > Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 14:03:04 -0700 > From: John Reynolds > Reply-To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > > To: redhat-install-list at redhat.com > Subject: /dev is zapped > > I have a Dell runing RedHat 7.1.

Re-install the dev rpm. use --force and --upgrade flags at the same time, which will ensure that you have exactly one copy of the dev rpm installed. Getting a tarball of /dev from another similar machine and untarring it is also an option if you for some reason cannot use rpm or rpm2cpio. More than likely you had some disk corruption and most of the stuff in the /dev directory got e2fscked away into /lost+found. This means of course that your disk will likely fail again if this is in fact the case. -- Matthew Galgoci System Administrator and Sr. Manager of Ruminants Red Hat, Inc 919.754.3700 x44155 From jreyn at us.ibm.com Mon Aug 2 21:36:21 2004 From: jreyn at us.ibm.com (John Reynolds) Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 14:36:21 -0700 Subject: /dev is zapped In-Reply-To: <20040802211751.GA20958@bobcat.cumbytel.com> Message-ID: Bob McClure was first to suggest : >On Mon, Aug 02, 2004 at 02:03:04PM -0700, John Reynolds wrote: >> I have a Dell runing RedHat 7.1.

Message-ID: <410EC630.5000600@noos.fr> Hello, I'm just getting started with Linux so please excuse me if the explanations aren't clear enough. I have encountered some problems while installing Fedora Core 2 on my computer. All information concerning eth0 is lost after installation, I can't have any network connection whatsoever. Here is a summary of what I've done so far: - I've put Fedora core 2 with minimal configuration on a computer that used to be running with windows. This first time, it worked just fine. I could update the rpms to the latest version available with up2date. This is where I screwed up: - I then tried to install ALL the rpms from the CD, starting from scratch, and as I rebooted the computer, the connection to internet was lost as if my 3com card wasn't there anymore - I tried to put back the minimal configuration, even get back down to Fedora Core 1, but always with the same result. - I tried to install from a hard drive => didn't work either So I figured my card was dead. I tried to put windows on a partition and Fedora on an other. When I boot with windows, there is no problem with the network connection. But as soon as I try to start using the fedora partition, well, I let you guess... nothing! The % ifconfig is nearly "empty". It just gives the "lo" details. The % ifup eth0 gives "configuration for eth0 not found". How could I restore my connection? Has anybody encountered such problems? Can you tell me what to do?

When you did the second install, the system probably asked you if you wanted to migrate your network settings. If you answered "No", then the old config is erased. Log in as the root user. At the "#" prompt under Fedora Core 1, enter: redhat-config-network If you're using Fedora Core 2, use: system-config-network Fill in the forms as you need them. That should reconfigure your network settings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Give me ambiguity or give me something else! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From aubreys_key at yahoo.com Tue Aug 3 04:24:02 2004 From: aubreys_key at yahoo.com (Aubrey Barnard) Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 21:24:02 -0700 (PDT) Subject: DHCP client assigns an invalid hostname (RH9) Message-ID: <20040803042402.55734.qmail@web41901.mail.yahoo.com> To whomever may be kind enough to answer: My problem is that I have been assigned an invalid hostname on my RH9 system. I started getting cable internet service from Charter earlier this summer. My previous ISP and network administration was my college. Since starting with Charter, I have not been assigned a proper host name. I contacted Charter, but they didn't think there was anything wrong, so I am trying here to see if it is possibly a client-side issue. No issue existed when on my college network. When I boot my computer, I am assigned a hostname such as 'dhcp-521-7' (it varies). The problem is that I cannot (and certain programs cannot) resolve this to an IP address. Essentially, the hostname I am assigned does not match what the DNS servers say that my hostname should be. For example, 'hostname -i' fails, and so does the library call 'gethostbyname'. To illustrate, I give the following outputs. Running ifconfig produces the following: # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:B3:B6:A8:C1 inet addr:68.190.160.235 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.240.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1507398 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:75664 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:115176823 (109.8 Mb) TX bytes:6818394 (6.5 Mb) Interrupt:5 Base address:0xd000 Memory:d5000000-d5000038 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:203 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:203 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:134774 (131.6 Kb) TX bytes:134774 (131.6 Kb) These are my leases: # more /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases lease { interface "eth0"; fixed-address 68.190.160.235; option subnet-mask 255.255.240.0; option time-offset -21600; option dhcp-lease-time 25982; option routers 68.190.160.1; option dhcp-message-type 5; option dhcp-server-identifier 68.115.71.9; option domain-name-servers 68.115.71.53,24.159.193.40,24.159.222.40; option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255; option host-name "dhcp-521-7"; option domain-name "eau.wi.charter.com"; renew 1 2004/7/26 07:50:21; rebind 1 2004/7/26 11:01:34; expire 1 2004/7/26 11:55:42; } lease { interface "eth0"; fixed-address 68.190.160.235; option subnet-mask 255.255.240.0; option time-offset -21600; option routers 68.190.160.1; option dhcp-lease-time 25640; option dhcp-message-type 5; option domain-name-servers 68.115.71.53,24.159.193.40,24.159.222.40; option dhcp-server-identifier 68.115.71.9; option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255; option host-name "dhcp-521-7"; option domain-name "eau.wi.charter.com"; renew 1 2004/7/26 08:05:02; rebind 1 2004/7/26 11:02:17; expire 1 2004/7/26 11:55:42; } The conflict begins when host (or dig) reports a hostname different from above: # host -v 68.190.160.235 Trying "235.160.190.68.in-addr.arpa" ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 29783 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;235.160.190.68.in-addr.arpa.

So, I tried it using OUTLOOK on my sons computer and it downloaded a 300K file with no problems so it does seem to be with fetchmail or something else on my system. i'm runnim fetchmail (in a cron file) as fetchmail -v -d 900 --fetchsizelimit 0 I just added the filesizelimit but it doesn't seem to help (zero is suppose to mean no limit). Didn't have any other time to play. Any suggestions?

I'll try. I'm not familiar with the FASt600 arrays, but generally you must split up the drives in your array as different RAID clusters and the SAN unit assigns each RAID with a LUN. Those LUNs should appear as separate SCSI devices (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc.) under the kernel, which then must be partitioned (and formatted if they're to be used as filesystems) just like any other block-addressable storage device (disk, FLASH, etc.). We are doing something similar using qla2300 HBAs connected to an EMC FC4700 SAN and that's the way we see them. Try "dmesg" to see if you see anything like this: scsi2 : QLogic QLA2300 PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter: bus 19 device 1 irq 29 Firmware version: 3.01.18, Driver version 6.05.00 scsi3 : QLogic QLA2300 PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter: bus 24 device 1 irq 27 Firmware version: 3.01.18, Driver version 6.05.00 blk: queue efa85e18, I/O limit 4294967295Mb (mask 0xffffffffffffffff) Vendor: DGC Model: RAID 5 Rev: 0849 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 04 blk: queue efa85c18, I/O limit 4294967295Mb (mask 0xffffffffffffffff) Vendor: DGC Model: RAID 1 Rev: 0849 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 04 blk: queue efa85a18, I/O limit 4294967295Mb (mask 0xffffffffffffffff) Vendor: DGC Model: RAID 1 Rev: 0849 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 04 blk: queue efa85818, I/O limit 4294967295Mb (mask 0xffffffffffffffff) Vendor: DGC Model: RAID 5 Rev: 0849 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 04 blk: queue efa85618, I/O limit 4294967295Mb (mask 0xffffffffffffffff) scsi(2:0:0:0): Enabled tagged queuing, queue depth 32. scsi(2:0:0:1): Enabled tagged queuing, queue depth 32. scsi(2:0:0:2): Enabled tagged queuing, queue depth 32. scsi(2:0:0:3): Enabled tagged queuing, queue depth 32.

Also note that one shelf is "owned" by one HBA, while the second shelf is "owned" by the other HBA. This is the way EMC does things (there's two redundant processors in the FC4700 and you must assign the LUNs to a "primary" processor while the other is used as a failover, and each processor is connected to the host via a separate HBA). In the last seven lines you'll see how the LUNs been set up by the kernel. In particular, note the "lun n" bit at the end of each line. If we look at how they're mounted: [root at db1 root]# mount (irrelevant data removed) /dev/sdf1 on /vol1 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sdc1 on /vol2 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sdd1 on /vol3 type ext3 (rw) you can see that each LUN has been set up with a single partition and we've mounted them as /vol1, /vol2 and /vol3, with /vol1 on the second shelf and /vol2 and /vol3 on the first shelf. The other LUNs aren't mounted per se as they are used for an Oracle database and Oracle uses the raw partitions (Oracle prefers doing its own "filesystem" stuff).

Here's a random suggesion -- is your provider using an exchange server as your mail server? Older versions of exchange used to lie to pop and imap clients about the sizes of messages (exchange would report the compressed size in its information store, not the number of bytes to be transfered) -- and naturally Outlook can deal with this brokenness. Fetchmail used to have a switch to tell it that it was dealing with a broken exchange server but I don't see it quickly looking. The other thing you can do is try another POP/IMAP client on your linux system (Mozilla, KMail, Evolution -- take your pick) against ComCast's server to see if there's something wrong with the networking settings (MTU or something). -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | Public Key: dave at xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com/dave/gpg.html $ gpg --recv-keys --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net 4C032504 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I don't have an RH9 system handy, but the file could be named any number of things. It could be named "dhclient.conf" or "dhclient-eth0.conf" or some other permutation and it may not be in /etc, but rather in /etc/dhclient, as in "/etc/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.conf". So, first: cd /etc Then: ls -ld dh* If you get back a "dhclient" directory, then "cd /etc/dhclient" and look in there for the file. Once you find the file, it should contain something like: interface "eth0" { request subnet-mask, broadcast_address, routers; request domain-name-servers, host-name; require subnet-mask, routers; } That means that your machine will request an IP address, subnet mask, broadcast address, router, DNS servers AND the host name, and that for DHCP to work, the DHCP server MUST give you the IP, subnet mask and router. Note that your X stuff may not work, since it was set up with one host name and you'll be getting a new one. Ideally, you should remove the "host-name" request above and simply set the host name to "localhost" in /etc/sysconfig/network. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Blech!

If so, do an "lsmod" and verify that you have a driver loaded for it. If not, you'll need to load it and possibly add an "alias scsi_hostadapter (drivername)" in your /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf (kernel 2.6.x). If you do have have a driver loaded, verify that the termination is correct on the drive and verify what the SCSI ID is on the thing. We can help more once we know these things. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - I don't suffer from insanity...I enjoy every minute of it! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Thu Aug 5 00:25:34 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 04 Aug 2004 17:25:34 -0700 Subject: Installed RedHat 3.0 AS...get to GRUB In-Reply-To: <20040804003904.40081.qmail@web12304.mail.yahoo.com> References: <20040804003904.40081.qmail@web12304.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <41117E7E.80008@vitalstream.com> Michael Ault wrote: > I have installed RedHAt 3.0 AS and everything seems to > go fine.

Try booting off the first CD in rescue mode (enter "linux rescue" at the "boot:" prompt). Let the system mount your AS3 stuff at /mnt/sysimage. Then: chroot /mnt/sysimage cd /boot/grub and verify you have a grub.conf file in there and that it is correct. If it is, try: grub-install /dev/hda exit exit (yes, two "exit"s. The first gets you out of the chroot, the second starts the reboot). Pop the CD out and see if the system will boot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Hello.

I > created .xinitrc and tried various things there, too. First, verify that your /etc/inittab file has a line like: x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon in it. If so, then check to see if you have an /etc/sysconfig/desktop file. If you don't, create one and put the line: DISPLAYMANGER=GNOME in it. That should default the display manager to Gnome. You can also specify the display manager from the login screen. As far as the slow shutdown is concerned, it depends on what programs are running. You may have something that's checkpointing to the disk when it receives the session termination signal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - UNIX is actually quite user friendly.

It just poped an unhandled error telling me to report it. Thing is, I didn't write it down so I can't do it anymore. I had to change my card to a PCI card . Once I had removed kudzu which seems to inhibit all connections to the outside # chkconfig --del kudzu and done a correct # ifconfig eth0 ... netmask ... with my parameters and a # ifup eth0 well, it all worked fine.

I have no idea why. It's entirely possible that you had an IRQ conflict between the ISA card and something else--especially if you had Plug-n-Play enabled in your BIOS.

The delay is after everything is closed down, the screen goes black just before X restarts, but it doesn't. Also, when doing CTRL-ALT, F[1-6] from the login screen, I get a text login quickly, but pressing ALT, F7 to return to X takes another 30 seconds, however it's different. The background screen comes up imediately, but the login window, though present, shows no text, border or anything else, just a gray square with a white-ish bar which becomes the input field for login name and password. No focus and no response either. Waiting for 30 seconds results in a login screen again. If I do CTRL-ALT, BKSPC, the server closes down like when logging off and then after 30 seconds comes back.

Nope, DSL. I've been using this thing for a while. In the beginning this happened. I messed with it for a while using KDE (second choice behind gnome; please no religious fire-bombs), then one day logged back in using gnome and it worked just fine. I changed a couple display settings and it blew up, but reversing them doesn't fix it... screen resolution. Wouldn't KDE also have a problem working if it was DNS?

The only way I've gotten > symlinks to work was by using sftp. A chrooted user can follow symlinks as long as the _destination_ is below their chrooted root directory (typically their home directory). I need to allow them to go to a totally different filesystem.

Apparently comcast is using a windows server and it's POP3 is not standard so about 80K though an email download using POP3 it sends an expected end of file. To get around this you need to add the fetchall commnad and now I get my full file downloaded. One last question and I'll stop. I've been running my fetchmail command as a cron job because for some reason it doesn't want to keep running using the daemon command. Reading what others posted about fetchmail I though I would change my setup and run in rc.local using the command "fetchmail -v -v -l0 -d900" but it doesn't seem to want to start there. Where do you put your fetchmail command to get it running on boot?

Don't you need to run fetchmail as the user you want it to fetch mail for? Running it from the /etc/rc.d stuff will try to run it as the root user and you probably don't have a "~root/.fetchmailrc" file. > Reading what others posted about fetchmail I though I would > change my setup and run in rc.local using the command "fetchmail > -v -v -l0 -d900" but it doesn't seem to want to start there.

This gives you the capability of running any and all fetches from one location and one daemon with one timer. /root/.fetchmailrc needs to be configured and look something like: # Configuration created Sat Jan 19 by KLP set logfile "/var/log/fetchmail" set postmaster "postmaster" set bouncemail set properties "" set daemon 120 poll remote_mail_server.com and options no dns user 'your_remote_user_name' there with password 'remote_pw' is 'local_user' here options fetchall smtphost your_mail_server_domain.com > >> Reading what others posted about fetchmail I though I would >> change my setup and run in rc.local using the command "fetchmail >> -v -v -l0 -d900" but it doesn't seem to want to start there. > > Don't use "-v"s when running as a daemon--daemons don't have a stdout. > >> Where do you put your fetchmail command to get it running on >> boot? > > You could put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local but you'd need to prefix it > as > > su -c "fetchmail -d 900" normalusername I just put the line: /usr/bin/fetchmail in /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it comes up on boot and with the /root/.fetchmailrc file (permissiona: 710) as above (with other fetch sites removed for brevity), it's very nice and hasn't fallen down for several years.

Thanks for your reply, I did some test and searched related information, just to make sure that I give you correct information about my system. On my machine (HP DL 380 G3 ) only installed one integrated Smart Array 5i. It is a LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI Array controller. I plug in the Tape drive to the VHDCI ( Very High Density connector Interface) on the rear of the server ( on-board). The VHDCI is port 2 of the Smart Array 5i. HP's support guy said that the controller does support single, standalone LVD devices. My tape drive is being seen by the hardware but is not being seen by LINUX. The following is content of /etc/modules.conf : alias eth0 tg3 alias eth1 tg3 alias scsi_hostadapter cciss alias usb-controller usb-ohci 'Scsi_hostadapter cciss' is the driver for the Smart Array 5i ( cmiiw). If I have to load again the controller driver, what is the driver name of my SCSI controller? On the DLT VS80 documentation it says that " Red Hat Linux provides native drive recognition. Drive files are located in /dev directory. Supplemental drivers are not required. The operating systems default to a generic SCSI device and to the default setting of the tape drive". And no driver provided on the CD for LINUX. I have checked all termination and cable. Everything should be Ok since the hardware ( machine) can detect the tape drive on the POST stage. Thanks a lot, Rusdi ------------- Do you have a SCSI controller in your machine? If so, do an "lsmod" and verify that you have a driver loaded for it. If not, you'll need to load it and possibly add an "alias scsi_hostadapter (drivername)" in your /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf (kernel 2.6.x). If you do have have a driver loaded, verify that the termination is correct on the drive and verify what the SCSI ID is on the thing.

You mean that you let kudzu figure out what is going on ? That's a nasty idea because kudzu will probably mess things up since he will not be able to detect what is going on with your modem . It is uncertain what happens this way .

If there is an IRQ conflict as you say , things might work out if you resolve the conflict . #lspci -v -v should give you enough information in order to verify if there is an IRQ Conflict or not . Then since you don't have the modem drivers installed try to move your video card out of the way so the modem can pick up the IRQ . > I have disabled both com ports in bios.

Message-ID: <1091941321.2310.40.camel@barney.localdomain> Hello Rick, I thought I would update you on my progress with my USB problems. The work-around I outlined in my last post seemed reliable enough during my testing but ultimately I couldn't get the HD to be recognised at all while the Zip was recognised every time. Very disappointing! After spending a lot of time googling around the archives I came across lots of posts about the problem and only one answer that has worked reliably for several days now, remove the ehci_hcd module before turning on/plugging in the USB device. What I am now doing is:- 1. Leave the Zip drive plugged in, no disk loaded, at boot. 2. Leave the HD plugged in, no power on at boot. 3. Leave the scanner plugged in, no power on at boot. 4. /sbin/rmmod ehci_hcd before turning on the HD. 5. This results in the Zip drive being recognised first (sda4) and the HD being recognised second (sdb1). The important thing is it is consistent so I know what device I am mounting. The output of /sbin/lsmod after removing the ehci_hcd module is as follows:- [graeme at barney graeme]$ /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by nls_utf8 1536 0 nls_cp437 5376 0 vfat 9984 0 fat 33600 1 vfat usb_storage 53576 0 sd_mod 16384 0 snd_mixer_oss 13824 1 snd_ens1371 17380 1 snd_rawmidi 17444 1 snd_ens1371 snd_seq_device 6152 1 snd_rawmidi snd_pcm 69256 1 snd_ens1371 snd_page_alloc 8072 1 snd_pcm snd_timer 17284 1 snd_pcm snd_ac97_codec 54788 1 snd_ens1371 gameport 3328 1 snd_ens1371 snd 39396 7 snd_mixer_oss,snd_ens1371,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_ac97_codec soundcore 6112 2 snd ipv6 184672 10 parport_pc 19392 1 lp 8236 0 parport 29640 2 parport_pc,lp autofs4 12932 0 sunrpc 109924 1 8139too 17920 0 mii 3584 1 8139too ipt_REJECT 4736 1 ipt_state 1536 2 ip_conntrack 24968 1 ipt_state iptable_filter 2176 1 ip_tables 13568 3 ipt_REJECT,ipt_state,iptable_filter floppy 47440 0 sg 27680 0 scsi_mod 91984 3 usb_storage,sd_mod,sg dm_mod 32800 0 uhci_hcd 24472 0 ext3 103656 2 jbd 40728 1 ext3 [graeme at barney graeme]$ The output of cat /etc/modprobe.conf is as follows:- [graeme at barney graeme]$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf # Note: for use under 2.4, changes must also be made to modules.conf! alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371 alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd alias usb-controller2 ehci-hcd install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; } remove sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove sound-slot-0 alias eth0 8139too [graeme at barney graeme]$ The output of modules.conf is as follows:- [graeme at barney graeme]$ cat /etc/modules.conf alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias usb-controller usb-ohci alias sound-slot-0 es1371 post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci alias usb-controller2 ehci-hcd alias eth0 8139too options 8139too irq=5 # Note: for use under 2.6, changes must also be made to modprobe.conf!

There has never been a problem with the scanner, not being a block device I guess. If any others are having problems with the 2.6 kernels and USB perhaps the above is the answer for them as well. BTW I posted a query regarding 2.6 kernels and USB problems on the linux-usb-devel list and got the following reply:- > Is this problem fixed yet in the 2.6 kernels? None of us is likely to know that answer. Either ask RedHat, or just try 2.6.8-rc3 yourself. Will have to query RedHat I guess. In the meantime the above procedure works well for me at the moment and is painless enough. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A priest asked: What is Fate, Master?

The current version owes much to Elliot�s Linux enhancements, but was substantially reorganized and partially rewritten by Ted Lemon so as to use the same networking framework that the Internet Software Consortium DHCP server uses. Much system-specific configuration code was moved into a shell script so that as support for more operating systems is added, it will not be necessary to port and maintain system-specific configuration code to these operating systems - instead, the shell script can invoke the native tools to accomplish the same purpose. dhclient(8) So, you can see that on my system that dhclient expects the config to be in /etc/, the file I said before that doesn't exist (and as you can see above, no config exists). I created a config file (as I had tried before), with the contents exactly as you specified, and restarted my network with '# /etc/init.d/network restart'. This resulted in no change in the dhcp leases. I tried the same thing with 'host-name' under 'required' in the config, again restarting the network. There were no changes. Now the questions: Would I have to do more that restart the network to have the changes take effect? I have a feeling this is an issue with the Charter network setup, but I would like somebody to back up this opinion before I contact Charter. That is, I would like some evidence that they are in error. Maybe what I have is good enough, but I am not sure. What advantage would I have to always having my hostname be 'localhost' as you suggested? Also, I said before that this hostname thing caused no significant problems. I have now found that 'sendmail' does not work, and that counts as a significant problem for me. I apologize for not responding sooner.

Boot with your RH install disk 1 to "rescue mode" (at the boot prompt, put "linux rescue". It will look for your linux installation and mount it on /mnt/sysimage, if you let it. Once at the shell prompt, do this: chroot /mnt/sysimage lilo That should work without complaints. Then exit exit Yep, twice. Once to get out of the chroot shell, and once to reboot. Pop out the CD.

NONE of these should be available outside your network except the ones you really want others to access. The most dangerous ones are kdm, sysstat, netstat, tcpmux, all of the RPC ones, uucp, ingreslock, callbook, IRC (oh man! shut that one down NOW!) NetBus, and Elite.

Hi Rick, thanks. re-installed all the xorg-X11* rpms on the 4 FC2 CDs. This had an impact in that 'startx' tries to do things now but eventually bombs out on the 'unix/7100' (or something) font path and then 'cannot load 'fixed' fonts' I've googled around but cannot find any answers yet. Have you any further ideas on what may be happening now and how I can work out just where this font path refers to? -- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols.

It'll be another nine hours before Rick comes on-line, so I'll take a shot at this. (Don't ask why I'm up this late.) Your symptoms indicate your X font server is not running. As root, run service xfs status You should get something like xfs (pid 1032) is running... If not, run service xfs start That gets it starting right now. If that comes up ok, run chkconfig --list xfs You should get something like xfs 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off If not, run chkconfig xfs on That makes it come on next time you boot. If it won't come up and stay up, look in /var/log/messages for clues. Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. robertmcclure at earthlink.net http://www.bobcatos.com Grace happens.

On a RH EL 3 Update 2 system A, I have enabled CUPS and configured some print queues. They work okay. On another RH EL3 Update 2 system B, I tried to enable this system as a print client and print using the print queues set up on Box A. On Box B, lpc status returns an empty list So I invoked the web interface and after entering the root account details, I can see a list of print queues set up on server A. Still lpc status returns an empty list But lpq -Pqueue1 at A does show a response from A and reveals the queue status. (I cannot tell whether the use of the web interface has any bearing to this.) In order to allow a more user-friendly and transparant print queue syntax, I followed the admin manual to modify client.conf to add ServerName A Now both lpq -Pqueue and lpq -Pqueue at A fail with unknown destination So I removed the ServerName A entry in client.conf. Now, lpc status returns a list of print queues, apart from the class queue. So, I would like to know the correct steps to enable remote printing using CUPS. Furthermore, on the client B lpq/lpr -Pclass-queue at A works, but lpq -Pclass-queue fails with cleint-error-not-found whereas non-class queues work okay.

If you have a server, like mail then it must be running, otherwise turn all port servers off that don't need to be running. Second put up a good firewall something like; 1) Set all policies to reject. iptables -P INPUT REJECT iptables -P FORWARD REJECT iptables -P OUTPUT REJECT 2) iptables -I INPUT -i eth0 -m state --state \ ! ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j REJECT 3) iptables -I FORWARD -i eth0 -m state\ --state !

However, you could: for i in `ls /dev/tty`; do something read -t 1 TEST if [ "foo$TEST" = "foo" ]; then nothing was typed in in the last second else something was typed in, but it's in $TEST now, not the buffer fi done The value after the "-t" in the read command sets the timeout in seconds.

Whilst "nmap localhost" or "nmap 127.0.0.1" looks from inside your firewall, "nmap " should look from outside your firewall. As Ted says, if you want to look from even further outside, say from outside a DSL router, then you cannot do it from your computer and you need to either use the website mentioned or a different internet connection (e.g. get a friend to do it). When you used the firewall GUI, you did not check under "trusted devices" the ethernet port going to your modem/router, did you?

The X font server was running I think as I saw it start as the machine booted and it had an OK beside it. I didn't bother to check it any further as I should have I guess. Its running OK today. I finally gave up yesterday and called it quits until today, Wed. 11 Aug. 14:00, when I booted up into runlevel 3, logged on as root and started checking things. First I tried 'startx' and lo and behold, the blasted thing started OK. So I logged out of X, brought up another terminal and logged is as myself and ran 'startx' and it worked just fine again with the exception that Korganizer would not start up complaining of not being able to load shared libraries. [graeme at barney graeme]$ korganizer korganizer: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [graeme at barney graeme]$ This is the same type of error that started all my problems a couple of days ago. Thing is that all the libraries that were complained of as missing before were, as this one is, alive and well, not missing at all. libqt-mt.so.3 is a link to libqt-mt.so.3.3.2 in the same directory, /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 -> libqt-mt.so.3.3.2, and '-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7355176 May 5 09:34 /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.2' Is this a path problem or a config problem or simply just a grunged file somewhere? Its got me flummoxed.

X started up OK today but there is still the original problem similar to this one: 'error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'.

For person to person email top posting is fine, in fact it is often better because the two people involved remain familiar with the issue at hand. However, when posting to an email list you are "conversing" with hundreds of other people who, while they are actively following your thread, they are also actively following many other threads and therefore cannot remain intimately familiar with the issues in your thread. Top posting forces the many to hunt up and down in the email to find the points being referred to so they can follow the flow of the logic in the "conversation". So, your lack of effort is multiplied and transferred to many many other people who really shouldn't have to make up for your lack of effort. Bottom posting and interleaving on email lists are a simple matter of courtesy for your fellow list members. Not doing it shows a distinct lack of regard for their time, effort and value.

Any clues? Doesn't appear to be a permission > problem, but what the problem is I have no idea. Sound familiar :-) It runs OK as root but not as a mortal user? That smacks of permissions problems. The library should be in /usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib (may be a different version, but you get the idea). Make sure that all files in that directory and the directory itself has at least world read/execute permissions: # cd /usr/lib # chmod -R o+rw qt-3.1 If in doubt, try reinstalling the qt RPM. I don't think it's part of the X reinstall as qt isn't required for X, but a number of apps (Gnome and other things) depend on it. > Come live with me and be my love, And we will some new pleasures prove > Of golden sands and crystal brooks With silken lines, and silver hooks. > There's nothing that I wouldn't do If you would be my POSSLQ.

I successfully installed red hat linux 7.3 (still an old version, since it was given to me for free) but I failed to installed a dail up connection to my ISP using a 56K modem from Best Data. I typed in the command as follows: [root at localhost root]# wvdailconf create Scanning your serial port for a modem ttys0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- OK ... ... Port Scan<*1> SR283 SR284 SR285 SR286 SR287 Found a modem on /dev/ttyS0. ttyS0: Speed 115200; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0" [root at localhost root]# I tried to search for the file /etc/wvdial.conf which was supposed to be created by the command, and found out that it didn't even exist at all! Next, I tried out the procedures recommended by a book using the Dialup Configuration window under GNOME, by choosing Program->System->Internet Configuration Wizard from the GNOME menu. A new "Add new Device Type" window appeared, and I chose Modem Connection, before clicking on the Next button. After a while, it came back telling me that "no modem wad detected". It was confusing: First, the system replied informing me that it found a modem on /dev/ttyS0 after I typed in the command "wvdailconf create"; Second, the system came back and told me that "no modem was detected"! I could not figure out what went wrong. Could anyone out there be kind enough to give me a hand? Your help would be deeply appreiciated. Thank you in advance for your help.

The most common culprits I've found are Cisco switches--we've never had an issue with our Extreme Networks stuff (Summit 4, Summit 48, Summit 48e, Black Diamond), but lots of our Cisco gear has issues (even with the latest IOS updates). The best bet is to force both the cards AND the switch ports to some specific setting. Do NOT rely on autonegotion on EITHER end. Start out with 1G full duplex and work your way down. I'll bet everything's happy once you kill autonegotiation. Also, for your NFS mounts, make sure you use TCP rather than the default UDP. The entries in your /etc/fstab should look something like: server:/share /mountpoint nfs nfsvers=3,tcp,other-options 0 0 UDP gets very confused on high speed, high use networks. TCP stops the dropped packet/retry storm that often occurs. Trust me...it fixes a plethora of weird NFS problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - To iterate is human, to recurse, divine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From fruiz at tsitrucks.com Wed Aug 11 21:46:42 2004 From: fruiz at tsitrucks.com (Francisco Ruiz) Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 16:46:42 -0500 Subject: FW: Message-ID: <006f01c47fec$b0bf6840$5c08a8c0@RUIZHP> -----Original Message----- From: Francisco Ruiz [mailto:fruiz at tsitrucks.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 2:51 PM To: Redhat-Install-List-Admin (redhat-install-list-admin at redhat.com) Subject: Which RH Linux can be set up for terminal services.

I don't understand why you'd want a Linux terminal services box to support rdesktop stuff. Just have the "thin clients" run rdesktop and access the Windows boxes directly. You don't need a server for that. If you mean you want the clients to see the desktop on a remote Linux box, the remote system can run a vnc server which the client can access with vncviewer. I recommend you tunnel that through ssh if any part of the connection is exposed to the internet. If you want the clients to be able to run an application on the remote Linux box and have the display appear on the client, all they need to do is log into the remote system and make sure the $DISPLAY environment variable points to the client or through an ssh port-forward. Output will appear on the client. Example: I ssh to a Linux box and check $DISPLAY, which shows "localhost:10.0", meaning that X would be port forwarded through ssh. I run Mozilla on the remote machine. The browser output appears on my local machine, tunneled through ssh so it's encrypted over the internet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From mjstraw at iup.edu Wed Aug 11 22:35:00 2004 From: mjstraw at iup.edu (Mark J Strawcutter) Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 18:35:00 -0400 Subject: Forgotten where to access the Red Hat forums References: <081120041647.17092.411A4DB3000AD35F000042C42200762194CECACE9C0A9F010406@comcast.net><20040811141020.B18848@redline.comcast.net><411A6F31.5060307@vitalstream.com><012101c47fd7$86f70b90$bf805090@adm.iup.edu><411A7EAB.5080204@vitalstream.com> <1092257023.4871.25.camel@amdk63.homemanordata.nodom> Message-ID: <000d01c47ff3$71c171e0$96615090@cc.iup.edu> > > Ah, memories.

I just bought a new laptop (60M HD, 1.6G RAM), and I'm trying to install RedHat 8.0 on it. The installation seems to complete without a hitch, but when I try to boot it up I get the following error: PCI_IDE: unknown IDE controller on PCI bus 00 device f9, VID=8086, DID=24ca PCI: Device 00:1f.1 not available because of resource collisions PCI_IDE: (ide_setup_pci_device:) Could not enable device Does anyone know what this means?

I ran the chmod command above just to make sure. The are several versions of qt on my system, viz. [graeme at barney lib]$ ls qt* qt2: bin doc include lib qt-2.3.1: bin doc include lib qt-3.0.5: bin etc lib plugins qt-3.3: bin etc lib phrasebooks templates doc include mkspecs plugins translations [graeme at barney lib]$ I ran the chmod command on all of them. As you can see, lib-mt.so.3 is a symbolic link to a later version. [graeme at barney lib]$ ls -la libqt-mt.so.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 14 17:06 libqt-mt.so.3 -> libqt-mt.so.3.3.2 [graeme at barney lib]$ The problem appears to be only associated with KDE applications, e.g., quanta, Korganizer, Kmail etc. and always the same library. I have re-installed a heap of RPMs, including all the KDE related RPMs but nothing seems to fix the problem. Do you have any further ideas. I don't really want to re-install FC2 if I can possibly avoid it. Also, can you recommend a simple backup utility that can follow symlinks, hardlinks and make a COMPLETE backup of particular directories. Flexbackup is almost useless, particularly as the man page is in error and restoring files won't work for me. tar fails because it complains of the backup being too large and bombs out. Mirrordir wont follow hard links, although the idea is great. cp is OK except it won't follow hard links either. Pumps out a lot of errors to that effect, particularly in /usr. TIA, ps. sorry about the delay in getting back to you, but I haven't had a lot of time and I've only just got the system back up enough to connect to the internet. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- QOTD: "She's about as smart as bait." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The firewall in the modem/router is set to disallow ALL requests from the internet so I thought I was safe from hackers. I used the graphical tool for setting up the machine's firewall using High security and only allowing ssh acess, so I assumed that all ports except those necessary for email and web browsing were closed. The ip address for my internet connection is dynamically assigned by my ISP so changes each time I power on the machine.

I re-installed the qt RPM using the --force option but to no avail. The problem kept occurring. The problem started about the same time I installed the KDE RPMS using the GUI package manager. It got its knickers in a twist over recognising the CD when it was inserted as requested. I managed to get it to finish OK and never gave it another thought. It was on the next boot that I started getting the 'error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'. error. I re-installed using the --force option as you suggested but the problem remained the same. Anyway, to cut a long story short, the answer was to 'rpm -e --nodeps qt', which, to my surprise worked as a huge amount depended on it. Then rpm -ivh qt*' from the CD and away things went. All OK. This took all of 2-3 minutes after mucking about with the problem for days. Stupidity sure is a time hog! Never mind, I have learned a valuable lesson.

You can always reinstall them if it doesn't work, but if your GUI depends on the old ones, you'll need to run in text mode until you do get them reinstalled. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - This space intentionaly left - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Aug 17 17:36:36 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 10:36:36 -0700 Subject: modem problem in redhat es In-Reply-To: <79130-220048217164059814@M2W027.mail2web.com> References: <79130-220048217164059814@M2W027.mail2web.com> Message-ID: <41224224.3010602@vitalstream.com> hussein4 at link.net wrote: > serial modem > > -----Original Message----- > From: Manuel Arostegui Ramirez [mailto:manuaroste at yahoo.es] > Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 3:07 PM > To: hussein4 at link.net; Getting started with Red Hat Linux > Subject: Re: modem problem in redhat es > > --- "hussein4 at link.net" escribió: > > >>Dear all , >> >>i have installed today redhat linux es but seems it >>can't detect my >>external serial d-link modem which was working in >>redhat 9 >>how can i install it manually or make the o/s >>detect it ? >> >> >>regards >>Hussein >> > > > USB modem or serial one?

My /etc/sysconfig/i18n contained: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" I changed it to export LC_ALL=C export LANG=C However, I'm still having a problem with our webpages (run through apache and resin).

Part of the problem (perhaps all of the problem) is that I can't seem to be able to load the agpgart module. I'm running Red Hat 7.3, with kernel version 2.4.18-3. agpgart is supposed to load automatically when I start up XFree86, but it doesn't. I see the following in the XFree86.0.log file: ...

I was hoping to write a script to submit simulation job from Sun to different Linux box but failed because rsh is disabled in Linux and ssh required password which make the script harder to be used by everyone in the group. I have tried ssh-add, ssh-keygen with no luck. My question is How can I enable rsh so I can run the script? I believe the security shouldn't be an issue since all the systems are behind the firewall. or is there any other way that I can submit remote command without password being asked?

That will allow the submitting machine to ssh as root to the server without passwords. The format of the "~/.ssh/authorized_keys" file is one line per entry. Each line contains the key "ssh-dss", a space, he public key from the other machine, followed by a space and the login used.

However, it could be caused by cables or DMA. Turning off DMA is fairly simple: hdparm -d0 /dev/whatever Turning it back on is also simple: hdparm -d1 /dev/whatever As to cabling, well, you know what's involved there. You might want to download a diagnostic (one may have come with the drive) and do a non-destructive test on the drive. It may be bad timing marks on the servo platter that's causing the issue, since the errors are seek complete errors (I'd ignore the CRC issues until the seeks work reliably--if you can't get to the cylinders, the CRC is irrelevant). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - This message printed using recycled bandwidth - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From j.such at zeto.com.pl Fri Aug 20 09:28:43 2004 From: j.such at zeto.com.pl (Such Janusz) Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2004 11:28:43 +0200 Subject: Installing RHEL AS v.3 on S/390 by tape Message-ID: <082401c48698$165afff0$6f3c010a@JSD2K.PL> Hello, I tried to install RHEL AS v.3 on S/390 by tape.

I couldn't find support for its Aztech card, so I put in a Turtle Beach Daytona I had laying around. I installed Alsa, following the instructions here, http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Turtle+Beach&card=Daytona&chip=SonicVibes+PCI&module=sonicvibes#opt and here, http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA.html Running alsaconfig got me closer, but I still can't get any sound from this setup. I know that I'm close, because the speakers pop from time to time (on startup and shutdown, running gmix, and usually, but not always, when I try to run aplay). I don't really know any good way to test the card--I've been trying to run aplay or Gnome's sound event applet. Any help, or a pointer to some decent troubleshooting would be appreciated. -bc Some hardware info: [bob at vectra bob]$ cat /etc/modules.conf alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 pcnet32 alias usb-controller usb-uhci # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-sonicvibes # module options should go here options isapnp=no # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.6 --- alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias snd-card-0 snd-sonicvibes alias sound-slot-0 snd-sonicvibes # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- [bob at vectra bob]$ [bob at vectra bob]$ ls /usr/src/alsa alsa-driver-1.0.6a alsa-lib-1.0.6.tar alsa-utils-1.0.6.tar alsa-driver-1.0.6a.tar alsa-tools-1.0.6.tar alsa-lib-1.0.6 alsa-utils-1.0.6 [bob at vectra bob]$ [bob at vectra bob]$ aplay -D hw:0,0 espresso.wav Playing WAVE 'espresso.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 11025 Hz, Mono aplay: pcm_write:1115: write error: Input/output error [bob at vectra bob]$ aplay espresso.wav Playing WAVE 'espresso.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 11025 Hz, Mono aplay: pcm_write:1115: write error: Input/output error [bob at vectra bob]$ >From /var/log/messages: Aug 20 14:18:59 vectra exiting on signal 15 Aug 20 14:20:43 vectra syslogd 1.4.1: restart.

It was a triumph on my part to get alsamixer to run. Nothing is muted and the volume is up on every slider. The way my speakers pop, I'm sure when this thing works that I'll get blown away!! -bc _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Express yourself with Y! Messenger! Free.

Does anyone know where i can get the information > or maybe already use type of ethernet card that compatible at RHEL I have experience using the Broadcom BCM57xx cards and the Intel gigabit (E1000) cards. Both work find, although you may have issues with the tg3 driver used with the BCM cards. To fix that, edit the /etc/modules.conf file and change any "alias" lines that specify the tg3 driver to specify the bcm5700 driver.

The PHP manual is not part of any PHP RPM, so it's not installed. I recommend you use the on-line manual at http://www.php.net as it's the most current. They do offer the manual as a downloadable tarball and it's available at: http://www.php.net/download-docs.php There are a number of good printed books on the subject (again, remember that PHP is a very dynamic language and the books can't possibly keep up).

If you're talking about forcing an update of modified NIS maps to slave servers, you want to use "yppush" ("man yppush" for details). If you're referring to updating the RPMs, the RPMs are "ypbind", "yp-tools" and "ypserv", so use whatever method you use to update normal RPMs and specify those. For example, under FC1/FC2: yum -y update ypbind* yp-tools* ypserv* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - grasshopotomaus: A creature that can leap to tremendous heights... - - ...once. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From kgoodwin at datamarktech.com Wed Aug 25 21:17:52 2004 From: kgoodwin at datamarktech.com (Kenneth Goodwin) Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 17:17:52 -0400 Subject: SCSI Tape Drive - LUN Support In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Wished you had joined in this morning Rick while this issue was hot....

I have not seen this on my Compaq scsi linux servers but apparently the HOST notation is referring to physically separate controllers and not to channels on the same controller. I was taking it to be Device Host # is on channel X at ID Y with LUN Z an apparently incorrect assumption.... So if you are correct and I am not saying you are not..... Then as I understand things to be from conversations with Darryl.... Scsi zero is his Dell PCI PercRAID multichannel controller which Darryl added into the server, ID at 0 is the actual Raid controller that front ends the drives and scsi id 7 (which does not appear here, but I got later email from Darryl that it shows up elsewhere, is the ID part of the controller. Unfortunately, Darryl is a novice and does not have enough background to help track this down... Nothing else is on this scsi controller. Darryl will have to confirm that the DLT is not plugged into the PERC card external ports. Scsi one and Two must be "on motherboard" normal scsi controllers They have the cdrom from the factory on scsi one and they are installing the DLT (believe it an external unit) on the outside connector on scsi two. However, with all three devices on separate controllers with separate scsi buses, as you explain above.... this does not explain why: 1) the CDROM is visible and works when the DLT is not attached. 2) The cdrom is visible and works, but the DLT is not when the system boots. 3) The cdrom disappears with an ID conflict error out of the kernel when daryl modprobes the DLT side. The cdrom disappears and the DLT appears. So how is the cdrom conflicting with the DLT if they are on totally separate scsi busses....??? Darryl needs to check the manuals for the dell's built in scsi controllers the possibility now becomes that plugging stuff into either external scsi port on the MB controllers automatically disables the inside connectors that the cdrom is plugged into.

Nothing has been installed except for the Adaptec SCSI card with the DLT attached to the SCSI card. The server is a DeLL PowerEdge 2650. The Adaptec card is simply seated in along with another NIC. Im guessing the card type is PCI. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Kenneth Goodwin Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 4:18 PM To: 'Getting started with Red Hat Linux' Subject: RE: SCSI Tape Drive - LUN Support Wished you had joined in this morning Rick while this issue was hot....

I have not seen this on my Compaq scsi linux servers but apparently the HOST notation is referring to physically separate controllers and not to channels on the same controller. I was taking it to be Device Host # is on channel X at ID Y with LUN Z an apparently incorrect assumption.... So if you are correct and I am not saying you are not..... Then as I understand things to be from conversations with Darryl.... Scsi zero is his Dell PCI PercRAID multichannel controller which Darryl added into the server, ID at 0 is the actual Raid controller that front ends the drives and scsi id 7 (which does not appear here, but I got later email from Darryl that it shows up elsewhere, is the ID part of the controller. Unfortunately, Darryl is a novice and does not have enough background to help track this down... Nothing else is on this scsi controller. Darryl will have to confirm that the DLT is not plugged into the PERC card external ports. Scsi one and Two must be "on motherboard" normal scsi controllers They have the cdrom from the factory on scsi one and they are installing the DLT (believe it an external unit) on the outside connector on scsi two. However, with all three devices on separate controllers with separate scsi buses, as you explain above.... this does not explain why: 1) the CDROM is visible and works when the DLT is not attached. 2) The cdrom is visible and works, but the DLT is not when the system boots. 3) The cdrom disappears with an ID conflict error out of the kernel when daryl modprobes the DLT side. The cdrom disappears and the DLT appears. So how is the cdrom conflicting with the DLT if they are on totally separate scsi busses....??? Darryl needs to check the manuals for the dell's built in scsi controllers the possibility now becomes that plugging stuff into either external scsi port on the MB controllers automatically disables the inside connectors that the cdrom is plugged into.

This is getting harder and harder to follow. Darryl, Reboot the machine. DO NOT do the "insmod aic7xxx" stuff at first. Do an "lsmod" and verify that the aacraid and aic7xxx modules are loaded. If the aic7xxx module ISN'T loaded (and it may not be as the only thing on the controller is the tape), then go ahead and do the "insmod aic7xxx" or "modprobe aic7xxx". Your CD should show up as /dev/scd0. Your tape should show up as /dev/st0. You can verify by putting a CD in and trying to mount it: mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom If it mounts, you're OK. Check the tape by inserting a tape and: mt -f /dev/st0 rewind and see if the tape actually rewinds. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?

Nothing has been installed except for the Adaptec SCSI card with the DLT attached to the SCSI card. The server is a DeLL PowerEdge 2650. The Adaptec card is simply seated in along with another NIC.

I have not seen this on my Compaq scsi linux servers but apparently the HOST notation is referring to physically separate controllers and not to channels on the same controller. I was taking it to be Device Host # is on channel X at ID Y with LUN Z an apparently incorrect assumption.... So if you are correct and I am not saying you are not..... Then as I understand things to be from conversations with Darryl.... Scsi zero is his Dell PCI PercRAID multichannel controller which Darryl added into the server, ID at 0 is the actual Raid controller that front ends the drives and scsi id 7 (which does not appear here, but I got later email from Darryl that it shows up elsewhere, is the ID part of the controller. Unfortunately, Darryl is a novice and does not have enough background to help track this down... Nothing else is on this scsi controller. Darryl will have to confirm that the DLT is not plugged into the PERC card external ports. Scsi one and Two must be "on motherboard" normal scsi controllers They have the cdrom from the factory on scsi one and they are installing the DLT (believe it an external unit) on the outside connector on scsi two. However, with all three devices on separate controllers with separate scsi buses, as you explain above.... this does not explain why: 1) the CDROM is visible and works when the DLT is not attached. 2) The cdrom is visible and works, but the DLT is not when the system boots. 3) The cdrom disappears with an ID conflict error out of the kernel when daryl modprobes the DLT side. The cdrom disappears and the DLT appears. So how is the cdrom conflicting with the DLT if they are on totally separate scsi busses....??? Darryl needs to check the manuals for the dell's built in scsi controllers the possibility now becomes that plugging stuff into either external scsi port on the MB controllers automatically disables the inside connectors that the cdrom is plugged into.

I've had very few issues with NIS that couldn't be solved by hitting them with that book. NIS+ is another matter.

Please bottom-post in the future, Darryl (reply AFTER what you're replying to). modprobing the aic7xxx should NOT disable your CD-ROM, however it may become a different device name (such as /dev/scd1 rather than /dev/scd0). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Do you know how to save five drowning lawyers?

(3com is one brand, there are others) Intel's nic should also work with the e1000 drivers. I normally don't buy them though because they are proud of their product.

He has only one cdrom, it should stay at scd0 and a new specific device name for the tape drive should be created if need be. /dev/rmt.... or whatever they are using for DLT's. I dont have any here. These are all different devices on different scsi controllers in the box. I sent him instructions on how to produce a clean "from a fresh boot" messages file that he can post to the list the answer is in there somewhere. It's something not obvious.

The drivers that are used are different, no big, stuck the 5300 WITH the 3200 so it would boot and kudzu saw it, I told it to install, and all seemed good. The device paths changed, but I think I fixed that. What don't think is happening is the 5300 drivers are loading at boot so the system CAN get to the drivers. Will I need to rebuild a initrd image in order to boot? If so, are there any special steps I need to take?

Edit /etc/modules.conf (or /etc/modprobe.conf on FC2) 4. Change the "alias scsi_hostadapter" line to use the 3200 driver 5. "cd /boot" 6. Make a new initrd image.

I was able to create a new initrd image and have everything come up. Note for others in the future. Kudzu doesn't handle some array controllers being removed physically prior to it being removed logically. So do the rmmod and edit /etc/modules.conf prio to removing the SCSI controller or you might get a system halt during boot when kudzu tries to detect new hardware.

If you want to run it in text (non-GUI) mode, try "up2date -nox -u" and see if that works. 90% of python errors are caused by not running in GUI mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - The Theory of Rapitivity: E=MC Hammer - - -- Glenn Marcus (via TopFive.com) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Aug 30 17:27:07 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 10:27:07 -0700 Subject: Compaq - Redhat is only seeing 1 CPU?

It sure looks like you aren't. "uname -r" will help. Also, take a look at the /boot/config* file that matches your kernel version (from the "uname -r"). The file should contain "CONFIG_SMP=y". If it says "CONFIG_SMP is not set", you've got a uniprocessor kernel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - The Theory of Rapitivity: E=MC Hammer - - -- Glenn Marcus (via TopFive.com) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From Douglas.Chen at Micrel.Com Mon Aug 30 20:04:30 2004 From: Douglas.Chen at Micrel.Com (Chen, Douglas) Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 13:04:30 -0700 Subject: ide2: unexpected interrupt Message-ID: <5E7A0AFAE3074E48872CF3B8A78216FDA69795@EMAIL1.micrel.com> Hi, I managed to install a Redhat 8 (psyche) )kernel version 2.4.18_14) to a Dell precision 470.

If > it says "CONFIG_SMP is not set", you've got a uniprocessor kernel. One ML530 is fixed, and I bet the 1850 will follow suit. The BIOS has a setting for which OS was installed. One was set to "other" and one to Windows. Apparently the motherboard advertises itself a little differently if you tell it, it's running a Linux (or Unixware type) OS.

Most often that sort of error is caused by being on the fringe of a network area where the connection isn't reliable. It would be a big help if you could tell us which PCMCIA card you're using and which driver loaded for it (do an "lsmod"). If you're running Gnome, there is a wireless strength meter applet for the toolbar you can use to see how good your connection is with some cards. Right click on the toolbar, go to "Internet" and select "Wireless Link Monitor". And you really only need to post your question once. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - 500: Internal Fortune Cookie Error - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From fab at s-tunnel.com Tue Aug 31 16:34:33 2004 From: fab at s-tunnel.com (Alexey Fadyushin) Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2004 20:34:33 +0400 Subject: Q: about reformat disk where Linux and Window coexist References: <4133AD84.7030407@rogers.com> <20040831014611.GA20208@bobcat.cumbytel.com> <41340DE0.5080308@rogers.com> Message-ID: <4134A899.6F8D76EF@s-tunnel.com> I think that the easiest way to remove Linux partitions is to use fdisk from Linux.

If part 3 is an extended partition, then to be useful it must contain some logical partitions, and they should be listed in the same display. As another poster suggested, use the Linux fdisk by booting to rescue mode from your Linux install disk 1 (enter "linux rescue" at the boot prompt, and since you are presumably going to be deleting the Linux partition(s), tell it not to mount your existing Linux installation.

I guess my labels are wrong, but that's the best I can make of it. Meanwhile, you've reinstalled Linux. - Does it boot? - Does it work? - Do you still want to punt it or do you want it to work?
