Copied files to new disk using cp and looked ok. I'm curious what cp command line you used. I prefer using find and cpio, but cp may work depending on what options you use. My method requires you to create a directory called, say, /newpart, and then to copy a partition, you (say, for /home) mount /dev/hdbx /newpart # where hdbx is the partition for /home cd /home find . -mount -depth | cpio -pdm /newpart umount /dev/hdbx and repeat for each partition.

As you say I am in unfamiliar territory and am using the "Hard Disk Upgrade Mini How-To" from the Linux Documentation Project at www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto (direct link to the page is www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Hard-Disk-Upgrade.htmlCopy) command is in section 7 and I am using the safe option of.. "cp -a /bin /boot ......... /tmp /usr /var /new-disk". Before going to this I am preparing the partitions completely and I go into single user mode. Have run the command "find / -path /pro........-disk{} \; a couple of times to compare disks and see some differences but these have been in the /home or /export directory where the original file is corrupt and cannot be read Have never seen a file which I would consider critical although have not sat and watched all the way through. Tried to do a "| tee file" so that I could see the differences but could not get it to work, my experience with Linux commands isn't as good as it should be!

I've downloaded the packages from RHN and many of them are giving me the same dependency. Here is an example: error: Failed dependencies: eclipse-ui = 3.0.0-22 is needed by eclipse-jdt-3.0.0-22 I resolved the other dependencies by downloading the appropriate packages, but cannot find this package. A) What is the best way to find this package? B) Is there a package management system that circumvents the rather cumbersome method of manually downloading individual packages and manually resolving dependencies, in the way that apt-get does for Debian, for instance? I'm using the x86 version of Redhat Enterprise Linux WS. I believe it's version 3.1 Regards, Dave __________________________________________________________________ KEYMILE LTD Tate House, 1-3, Watermark Way, Hertford, SG 13 7TZ, England.

I think it was G. RH9 should support G, I wouldn't go back any earlier, it probably wouldn't save you any/much $$ anyway. All the G's should be backwards-compatible to whatever is available anyway.

If the machine died the first time, you may indeed have a lock file that will prevent X from running. Boot the machine as normal. If X doesn't start up, hold down the ALT and CTRL keys and hit F12. Then hit "ALT-F1". You should get a console prompt. Log in as the root user and enter these commands: telinit 3 rm -f /tmp/.X0-lock Then reboot the system. X should come back up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "I was remembering the immortal words of Socrates when he said, - - 'I drank what?'" -- Val Kilmer in "Real Genius" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Nov 1 22:09:28 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 01 Nov 2004 14:09:28 -0800 Subject: Port Forwarding In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4186B418.3000409@vitalstream.com> brad.mugleston at comcast.net wrote: > Gentlemen, > > I read the page on SSH (http://rhil.net/docs/ssh_setup.html) and > want to clarify some things > > I have three IP's I'm using/seeing > > the IP of the Modem (24.X.X.X) > the IP of the Linksys switch (196.X.X.X) > the IP of the computer (196.X.X.X) Uh, you mean the Linksys and computer are on 192.168.x.x.

Yup. Let's say that the computer is 192.168.1.10 and the switch/router is 192.168.1.1. You want to get onto the router and tell it that "WAN (public) access to port 22 is to be forwarded to port 22 on 192.168.1.10". This is also why you want to set up your local machine to have a fixed address and not get one via DHCP--if your machine gets a different IP, the forwarding won't work. > I'm guessing his signal will come to the Modem which will forward > everything to the Linksys switch.

Actually, the router will NAT incoming port 22 traffic, changing the destination IP to 192.168.1.10. Conversely, the source IP of outgoing traffic from 192.168.1.10 will be NATted to 24.x.x.x. > Then he runs RealVNC to see the remote screen on his local > computer and he can do as he wants from there.

What he can do is SSH to your Linux box, and then SSH from there to any other machine on the internal network. I use a cast-off machine running Linux as my firewall, so I have it pick up all SSH. I SSH to my firewall, then SSH to any other machine on the network from there. That means that file copies are two-stage operations, which is inconvenient, but doable. Perhaps you could set up a tunnel with the first machine, and then tunnel through the tunnel to get to the other machines. I've not tried anything that complex because I haven't needed it. Rick can doubtless elucidate further. Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. robertmcclure at earthlink.net http://www.bobcatos.com Grace happens.

Now the question is how to do it ? Has anyone here on the list done something like tht before ? Thanks a lot!

If you use VNC tunneling (at the remote end, you do "vncviewer -via"), you can think of it as the console for that machine has magically been transported to the remote user. He's on your machine as if he were in the house sitting in front of the main console. Now, also note that if you did: # su son's-username # Xvnc or # vncserver you've actually created a second X server instance that's simply waiting for some hardware to display on. The "vncviewer -via host host:1" specifies connecting to this second X display (that's what the ":1" bit is). You can, under RH9, FC1 and FC2, share the MAIN console (or ":0"). This is done by editing the XFree86.conf or xorg.conf file and adding these lines to the appropriate spots in the config file: In the 'Section "Module"' part: Load "vnc" In the 'Section "Screen"' part: Option "passwordFile" "/path/to/vnc/passwd/file" The "/path/to/vnc/passwd/file" should point at a file that contains an encrypted VNC password. This can be created by use of the vncpasswd program: vncpasswd /path/to/vnc/passwd/file Normally, the password file is "$HOME/.vnc/passwd", but if you're sharing the primary display, it's best to use a centralized one that's not dependent on a given user's home directory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - You know the old saying--any technology sufficiently advanced is - - indistinguishable from a Perl script - - --Programming Perl, 2nd Edition - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Nov 2 18:04:22 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 02 Nov 2004 10:04:22 -0800 Subject: Wireless Linux Notebook - HOWTO needed In-Reply-To: <1099326135.24984.2.camel@r2d3> References: <1088776367.2525.4.camel@heart> <200409161620.26500.sg@pobox.com> <4149BE02.7070002@vitalstream.com> <200409181632.36163.sg@pobox.com> <20040918215342.GA5342@bobcat.cumbytel.com> <1099326135.24984.2.camel@r2d3> Message-ID: <4187CC26.5050407@vitalstream.com> chuck slate wrote: > Hi All, > > I'm very interested in getting my RH 9 notebook up and running on my > internal wireless network. > > Can anybody point me to a good howto to get the process started? You first need to know what kind of wireless chip your machine has in it. Generally, Linux will find it if it knows what chip it is. Use the command: lspci and scan its output for information on your built-in chips. If you're using a PCMCIA card, check the docs to see if it has Linux support or check this website: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ to see if there are drivers for your card. There is support for several cards (orinoco, prism, intersil, others) in the system, or you can use "ndiswrapper" (http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net), which will allow you to use a Windows 98/XP/NT/2K driver in Linux. I use that for my Broadcom 802.11g chip in my Fujitsu laptop under FC1. > Can anybody recommend a good combination of NIC and Router? Routers are routers. The primary thing to recommend one over the other is ease of configuration and whether it has dual radios (see below). For single radio units, I find D-Link and Linksys more or less equal from an ease-of-configuration view. I don't have a lot of experience with SMCs, although people I trust swear by them. The most important (and difficult) thing is the wireless card or built-in chip in your laptop. Get that working and the thing should work on all wireless networks. > Can anybody confirm which versions of 802.11 are currently supported? That's a function of the chipset, not the driver. If you have an 802.11a chip, you'll work on 802.11a networks. 802.11b and g are compatible, meaning that b or g chips will work on b or g networks. Keep in mind, however, that MOST 802.11g networks will only run at 54Mbps if ALL nodes are "g"s. A single "b" node will bring those networks down to 11Mbps on the wireless side. This is due to the fact that signals are broadcast and the "b" node won't be able to understand the 54Mbps signal and will miss the traffic. Some routers have dual transceivers, however, and will handle "g" traffic with one radio and "b" traffic with another, so the network won't slow down with "b" nodes involved. If you're going to buy a wireless router and you can afford it, try to get one with dual radios. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - A day for firm decisions!!!

The 2.6 kernel actually has a Cyrix MIII optimization flag, but none for the MII. My guess is that something in the BIOS is freaking it out.

Depending on your nfs servers/clients combination, you may want to beware stock RedHats doing V3 -- we have had extremely bad experiences involving RedHat v7.2 and v7.3 when talking to Network Appliance filers. The RedHat clients assume an absurdly high data window, which has the effect of DOS'ing the NetApp as far as the rest of the network is concerned.

I'm assuming (probably a bad idea) that the Actiontec is the 701wg and that it's your DSL modem or router. If that's the case, and people on the LAN side can't see web pages hosted on a server that's also on the LAN side, then you've got a routing issue. Either the default route being given to your DHCP clients is wrong or you've got the wrong netmask that makes your webserver look like it's on a different subnet than the DHCP clients. That would force the traffic out to your modem or router. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 jdunn at sefas.com Fri Nov 5 09:33:45 2004 From: jdunn at sefas.com (John Dunn) Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2004 09:33:45 -0000 Subject: guest authentication Message-ID: <000101c4c31a$8ca6e390$3e04050a@johnman> How do I enable guest authentication on redhat linux?

We install, dual-boot, Fedora Core 2 and Enterprise ES 3. We installed in that order. (Fedora has / on hda2 with /boot separate on hda1; ES has / on hda4.) We ask the anaconda installer, while installing ES, to make the machine dual-boot. It creates its own grub.conf and overwrites the MBR, displacing the grub.conf and MBR code from the earlier Fedora installation. Problem is, for booting the Fedora image, it writes the grub.conf stanza as if it regards Fedora to be a non-linux OS-- by using the "chainloader" etc appropriate for windows. We have to manually fix it by importing the stanza that worked from the old copy of grub.conf in Fedora's partition into the new grub.conf in ES's partition (with kernel= etc).

I think it assumes when you're setting up a dual-boot, that the other OS is Windows (since that's what 90% of the dual boot environments are set up to do). So it blithely buggers the grub.conf file as if it were Windows out there. Could you reverse the process (install ES first, then FC) to see if the Fedora version of anaconda is smarter and recognizes ES as a Linux implementation? If the FC anaconda handles it properly, then I'd file a bugzilla report with Red Hat so that they use the Fedora anaconda in the next release of ES/AS/EL/WS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - God is real...........unless declared integer or long - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From fruiz at tsitrucks.com Fri Nov 5 22:34:31 2004 From: fruiz at tsitrucks.com (Francisco Ruiz) Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2004 16:34:31 -0600 Subject: 7.3 and ldap In-Reply-To: <418BF999.2000305@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <000001c4c387$9e9df5d0$5c08a8c0@RUIZHP> -----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, November 05, 2004 4:07 PM To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux Subject: Re: 7.3 and ldap Francisco Ruiz 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, November 05, 2004 1:15 PM > To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > Subject: Re: 7.3 and ldap > > > Francisco Ruiz wrote: > >>Trying to join domain I get "Cannot find KDC for requested realm".

(at least not in my experience) My laptop currently dual boots ES and FC2 - installed in that order. The easiest way for me to handle this (especially as FC3 or poss RHEL4 beta will replace FC2 shortly) was to install the FC2 bootloader to FCs / fs and use a chainloader line in the ES grub.conf file. so it now looks a bit like this: title Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.4.21-20.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-20.EL ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi vga=791 initrd /initrd-2.4.21-20.EL.img title Fedora Core (bootloader) root (hd0,6) chainloader +1 but then my FC2 install is all on one / filesystem... > > If the FC anaconda handles it properly, then I'd file a bugzilla report > with Red Hat so that they use the Fedora anaconda in the next release of > ES/AS/EL/WS. may be worth doing - there are alot of bugs relating to anaconda in bugzilla atm, but none that seem to refer to this issue.

It followed by another error message in /var/log/messages i.e. "modprobe: FATAL: Error running install command for sound_slot_1" I am using Fedora 2 with a updated kernel by yum. There was no problem updating the kernel or after updates. Via google I found that, there is some problem of compatibility sourced by the kernel. There is no proper solution I found to get rid of this error mesgs. Any help from experts will be appreciated.

I would strongly suggest upgrading to Alsa-1.0.6a if possible. That said the results are fairly strange. It seems that most or all of the drivers are loaded. Can you please try (as root) /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound stop /etc/rc.d/init.d alsasound start and send back the results. It might let us see what driver is not modprobing correctly.

You want to set up RAID1 (disk mirroring). If your SCSI controller supports hardware RAID1, set that up, THEN install Linux. Hardware RAID is generally better than software RAID. If you must use software RAID1, that's a little different. I suggest you go read the software RAID howto from the Linux Documentation Project. If you go to http://www.tldp.org and go to the index part of the HOWTO section, you will find it. You may even find a copy of it in your native language, as there are a number of translations in there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Real Time, adj.: Here and now, as opposed to fake time, which only - - occurs there and then - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Nov 9 00:01:02 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 08 Nov 2004 16:01:02 -0800 Subject: HP Pavilion N3320 Laptop and Fedora?

Chris, please don't hijack threads. If you want to start a new subject, don't reply to a message and simply change the subject. If you do, you screw up threaded news readers. You should post an entirely new message to redhat-install-list at redhat.com. As to your issue, I haven't heard of any problems with that laptop. You should probably check http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/hp.html. I just did and don't see an specific entry for the N3320.

The problem is that you have to rebuild the initrd image in /boot. This is because you're using an ext3 filesystem for / and ext3 is not built into your kernel. First, note which version of kernel you intend to run when this hard disk boots. Then boot off the CD in rescue mode and let the system mount the system under /mnt/sysimage. Next: # chroot /mnt/sysimage # cd /boot # mkinitrd -f -v initrd-kernelversion.img kernelversion # exit # exit Replace "kernelversion" with the kernel you want to boot. E.g., for the latest FC1 kernel: # mkinitrd -f -v initrd-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl Pop out the CD and try to boot the hard disk. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't TOUCH anything!" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Nov 9 00:13:39 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 08 Nov 2004 16:13:39 -0800 Subject: Disk problems - continuing saga In-Reply-To: <41900ABE.7050401@vitalstream.com> References: <30c723311249.31124930c723@email.bigpond.com> <20041028044635.GB25152@bobcat.bobcatos.com> <1099182958.1268.22.camel@hoose> <20041101022346.GD28981@bobcat.bobcatos.com> <1099285462.1330.19.camel@hoose> <1099911117.1275.21.camel@hoose> <41900ABE.7050401@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <41900BB3.4060701@vitalstream.com> Rick Stevens wrote: [SNIP} > Replace "kernelversion" with the kernel you want to boot.

Okay, I've been on the phone with Actiontec and Qwest and have found that Actiontec has known about the routing issue and have done nothing about it. Since I'm an IT director and have installed 3 of these in client sites for connectivity to our site (so I don't have to mess with their internal firewall politics) AND since Qwest is Actiontec's largest customer, I called Qwest to see if they would go to bat for me. They are pressing Actiontec to fix this issue post-haste. I will be getting a call from a Qwest manager tomorrow to verify this issue has been escalated. I spoke to 3 support folks at Actiontec, including a front-liner, his manager and then a back-line advanced technical support engineer. The manager assured me this would be available in the next flash upgrade. Right. The 3rd guy finally admitted they've known for 2 years and nothing has been done. That's when I called Qwest. I'm on a wait-and-see and don't-hold-your-breath mode... Just thought you might like a follow-up. I'll send more if and when I hear. I let them know that if I don't hear in a week, I'll be dropping them as a vendor for our DSL needs.

I have a dual boot (xp for the remainder of the semester then it's history) along with White Box Enterprise Linux 3. I am only using about 40 G of my 80G drive; however, for the life of me I could not get FC1 to install the other day. You get to the install screen and it wants to partition, but will not autopartition either. I saw no way to do it manually, short of getting a super-duper fdisk from another distro perhaps, going ahead and creating additional partition schemes, THEN attempting the install. Maybe the way to do it is to create a kickstart boot disk, copy the installation files to a directory on another networked machine, and do the install that way. I have done this and it seemed to give you a little more choice as far as 'target' directory location and that is what we want. The error was something to do with not being able to mark a new paritition as active. Theoretically, only the partitions (minimum of / and /boot) that you are using, are 'alive'. So it shouldn't matter what else is on the drive. And generally that IS the case with other partitons - IOW, Linux's fdisk sees fat/vfat/ntfs etc and knows to leave them alone. But if there are pre-existing Linux partitions, fdisk couldn't 'see' them as 'seperate' and go ahead with its business. And can you have two active partitions? Does anyone know if another distro has a better fdisk? Maybe KNoppix or Debian's would be good to look at, I haven't used those so I can't comment.

You do, however, need to set up LVM (logical volume management), which allows you to individual partitions (even on other disks) together to make it look like one big partition.

If you don't use labels (as in "root=LABEL=/"), you must specify the device name (like "root=/dev/hdb5") in grub.conf.

My experience upgrading (overwriting if you like) from RH8 to FC2 was reasonably pain free, but there are some gotcha's. FC2 is much bigger, requires more disk space, particularly in the /boot directory. The version of X is different and will require re-configuring but it should boot to a GUI within reason. You can boot to a command line and then run the X config utility. 1 spare Gig of disk space 'should' be OK. More is much safer. You will have to do some fine tuning after upgrading. The biggest headache I have experienced is with the 2.6 kernel. Its bug-ridden! Just some of the problems I have had with the 2.6 kernel are: USB problems, sound problems, wlan problems and after moving up to the 2.6.8 kernel from 2.6.6 my installation of StarOffice 5.2 would no longer load. Moving back to the 2.6.6 kernel fixed that but my wlan adaptor no longer is detected. However I don't use that at the moment. Altogether though I am happy with my FC2 install upgrade. I did an 'upgrade' on my laptop by doing an 'install' rather than an upgrade and it resulted in a much easier and better end result. If you can backup all your user data to somewhere you can be sure you can restore it from then a fresh install is the way to go, but an 'upgrade' will work, at least it did on my RH8 --> FC2. Give it a go, but BACKUP your stuff first!! You have been warned. Murphy does not discriminate! Good luck.

It will be interesting to see what happens with my OpenOffice 1.1.0. I beleive that version 1.1.1 will be installed by default with FC2. I'm not too worried because I think I can always go clear off both of them and then reinstall the newer 1.1.1 if there are any problems. But there have been many other tarballs I've installed since I started with RH7.3, and I bet many of those will require re-installation. thanks again, Jason -- Dr. Jason Pinkney Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy Ohio Northern University 419-772-2740 http://www2.onu.edu/~j-pinkney From rhil at manordata.uklinux.net Thu Nov 11 20:19:56 2004 From: rhil at manordata.uklinux.net (Chris Hewitt) Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2004 20:19:56 +0000 Subject: check for partial ftp uploads In-Reply-To: <4193849A.8020106@azimapower.com> References: <4193849A.8020106@azimapower.com> Message-ID: <1100204395.19357.1.camel@amdk63.homemanordata.nodom> On Thu, 2004-11-11 at 15:26, jdyke wrote: > This seems like an easy quesiton, but couldn't find a good google solution.

Does this fit you need? Thanks Chris. No but, I should have explained better. Clients FTP files and we have code that processes those files, and the end goal here is to check if there is a partial file being uploaded by a client that already exists in the FTP folder, so we do not try to process/move it. we process the files with PHP, but I was thinking there would be a filesystem command i could exec().

Well, there are several mozilla rpms.

My experience upgrading (overwriting if you like) from RH8 to FC2 was reasonably pain free, but there are some gotcha's. FC2 is much bigger, requires more disk space, particularly in the /boot directory. The version of X is different and will require re-configuring but it should boot to a GUI within reason. You can boot to a command line and then run the X config utility. 1 spare Gig of disk space 'should' be OK. More is much safer. You will have to do some fine tuning after upgrading. The biggest headache I have experienced is with the 2.6 kernel. Its bug-ridden! Just some of the problems I have had with the 2.6 kernel are: USB problems, sound problems, wlan problems and after moving up to the 2.6.8 kernel from 2.6.6 my installation of StarOffice 5.2 would no longer load. Moving back to the 2.6.6 kernel fixed that but my wlan adaptor no longer is detected. However I don't use that at the moment. > > > > Altogether though I am happy with my FC2 install upgrade. I did an 'upgrade' on my laptop by doing an 'install' rather than an upgrade and it resulted in a much easier and better end result. If you can backup all your user data to somewhere you can be sure you can restore it from then a fresh install is the way to go, but an 'upgrade' will work, at least it did on my RH8 --> FC2. > > > > Give it a go, but BACKUP your stuff first!!

I don't actually use it preferring instead StarOffice 5.2 but that is just my idiosyncrasy. If the other tarballs you have installed are part of the FC2 distribution then they should be upgraded as well. However there have been many apps dropped and others added in each successive distribution so you may end up with a mixed bag but it shouldn't cause you any problems, or at least none you cannot easily fix. Good luck. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, the philosophy is to attack the availability problem from two complementary directions: to reduce the number of software errors through rigorous testing of running systems, and to reduce the effect of the remaining errors by providing for recovery from them. An interesting footnote to this design is that now a system failure can usually be considered to be the result of two program errors: the first, in the program that started the problem; the second, in the recovery routine that could not protect the system. -- A.L.

After calling Qwest, I now have a Cisco 678 DSL (DMT capable) router/modem which Qwest sent UPS Next Day Air. And, it's FREE. Okay, the price of the ActionTec ($60). It's refurbished. Funny thing. After my phone call from Qwest with this solution, I got another call from Qwest; different state senior support. This guy told me how I could use the ActionTec anyway, with the use of the DMZ feature. Of course, if you visit the setup page, it warns about doing that because of major security risks. I have multiple ports open on my server, which is safely behind my hardware firewall and has been safe for about 9 years that way. But, the 678 is doing fine and setup was a breeze because hey, I know Cisco.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. Actiontec should be heavily chastised for not fixing a known bug in 2 years.

RPMs only install with a specific config? You can change where they install by using the "--relocate" option in rpm, but that only works with "relocatable" RPMs. See the man page for rpm for details. Yes, the binary RPM only installs binaries. Many, many people don't want (or need) the source code, and source takes up a lot of disk space. That's why there's a binary and a source RPM. If you aren't going to tinker with the source, don't install the source RPM. Simple. > So I'm totally clear, the php-4.2.2-17.2.src.rpm will just install the > source correct. Then if I run a config and make on it it should behave > properly with the already installed php-4.2.2-17.2.i386.rpm? Well, sorta. If you install a ".src.rpm", you don't end up with source that you do the normal "./configure;make;make install" operations. The source ends up in "/usr/src/redhat", with files distributed among the various directories in there. To make a batch of files that you can do the "./configure;make;make install", you have to go to the "/usr/src/redhat/SPECS" directory and run: rpmbuild -bp name-of-spec-file This will unpack the source and apply any patches that RedHat has made. The resulting source will be in a directory in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES. That directory can be copied to whereever you wish via # cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES # cp -a directory-name destination-directory THEN you can do the "./configure;make;make install". If you want to create an installable source RPM and the binary, you can bypass all of that guano and # rpmbuild --rebuild name-of-src.rpm The binary and a source RPM will be created in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS, but the source RPM will be similar to the one you downloaded. Make sure you READ AND UNDERSTAND the man pages for "rpmbuild" and "rpm" or get the "Maximum RPM" book (available online--do a Google search for it) before you do any of this. It'll save you a lot of confusion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Dyslexics of the world: UNTIE! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From owenewo58 at hotmail.com Fri Nov 12 21:59:15 2004 From: owenewo58 at hotmail.com (wang) Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 13:59:15 -0800 Subject: error message Message-ID: When I install Red Hat 9.0, I got an error message as following. ============error message from Red Hat=============== The partition table on /dev/sda is inconsistent.

If the RAID 10 (RAID is in all capitals as it's an acronym) is done in BIOS or hardware, make sure you set up the BIOS to use LBA mode. I wouldn't worry about this message--especially if some form of Windows is already installed. Windows will do odd things to the partition tables on occasion.

Check routing by running (on flash) netstat -rn If that looks ok, then 192.168.10.101 is either off (if it's on, run ifconfig to assure that the ethernet port is up on that IP) or there is a bad cable between it and flash. > I've started sshd and looked at /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd_config.

No, it doesnt seem to be so simple as a bad cable. Wish it was. I'm suspecting maybe iptables is doing something? Anyway, more info: 1) I have 4 Linux machines here at home. Two are Gentoo, two are FC2: Shadow - Gentoo - 192.168.10.26 Flash - Gentoo - 192.168.10.29 Godzilla - FC2 - 192.168.10.101 Wizard - FC2 - 192.168.10.5 All 4 machines have access to the Internet. (No bad cables, and in fact I'm sending this email from Godzilla.) Both Gentoo machines are accepting ssh connections from all other machines. (Gentoo or FC2) Neither FC2 machine is accepting ssh connections from any other machine. Here on Godzilla netstat -rn looks like: [root at Godzilla root]# netstat -rn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.10.3 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 [root at Godzilla root]# The second entry seems a bit bogus.

What's going on there? That's Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address space of 169.254.0.0/16. I think Windoze uses it if it can't get a DHCP lease. That's all I know about it, and that's probably wrong. :-) You can ignore it. > I can ssh to flash (gentoo) from Godzilla (FC2) and get netstat info. > It looks better: > > flash root # netstat -rn > Kernel IP routing table > Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface > 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 > 127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo > 0.0.0.0 192.168.10.3 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 > flash root # > > However, I cannot ssh from flash to Godzilla.

If you suspect IPTables, try this as root on Godzilla: service iptables status If it reports it's on with a giant laundry list, turn it off with service iptables stop Turn it off permanently with chkconfig iptables off To verify that sshd on Godzilla is listening, do this (again on Godzilla) netstat -lpn | fgrep :22 You should get something that looks like tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 732/sshd Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. robertmcclure at earthlink.net http://www.bobcatos.com Grace happens.

Well, if your hardware firewall is properly set up, that's a belt-and-suspenders approach. But if you must, either use the provided "firewall-config" for a simple interface, download one of the third-party packages like Smoothwall or Shoreline, or go to http://www.linuxguruz.com/iptables/ and get down and dirty. > Thanks much for helping me get to the bottom of this.

But i have a question to you > regarding RAID. Let say that we can do with LVM, so > what is the different betwin RAID & LVM ?. RAID is "Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks". It is a mechanism where data is spread across multiple disks to accomplish several tasks. One is speed of data access because parts of files are spread over the disks so you can read a file faster (you don't have to wait for one disk to deliver the data). The second (and more common) use is to spread and duplicate the data across several drives so that the failure of a single (or multiple) drives doesn't cause the data to fail. LVM (Logical Volume Management) allows you to string together multiple devices (e.g. RAID systems) to make up a logical drive. For example, say you use LVM and put your "/usr" filesystem on an LVM device. Now, if /usr fills up you can put in an additional drive, add it to the volume on the fly and grow the /usr filesystem. Note that you can do this WITHOUT repartitioning and reformatting. LVM can also be used to stripe data across multiple devices to enhance performance, sort of like what some RAID configurations do. However, LVM is pure software, while RAID is _generally_ done by a dedicated hardware controller. There is software RAID also, but I am not as comfortable using it as I am hardware RAID, since it is possible that a rogue process can corrupt the RAID software and cause lots of problems. It rather depends on what your acceptable level of risk is. In our platforms, our tolerance of risk is pretty low, so we generally use hardware RAID (typically RAID 5) in our systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - When in doubt, mumble. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Nov 15 17:17:26 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2004 09:17:26 -0800 Subject: error message In-Reply-To: References: <41953D4A.1080309@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <4198E4A6.6070200@vitalstream.com> wang wrote: > Rick, > Thank you very much for your advise. > I will take care to write correct letters from now.

Again, I don't think it's a critical thing. grub and lilo can both handle the "odd" disks. The most common problem with "inconsistent" partition tables is that Windows doesn't enforce track boundries on partitions, whereas Linux does. Linux can deal with odd tables, but you won't be able to create partitions that don't start or end on track boundries and will lose some (not a lot) of your usable drive space (the space between where a Windows partition ends and the end of the track).

"ifconfig" should never hang the system unless it's actually running something that's sucking down the CPU. Before you do "ifconfig" try "ps -ax" or "top" and see how busy the CPU is. > So > rebooting the system due to those problem hangs up the system at > "shutting down loopback interfaces" or at "iptables". The loopback interface is "lo" and is a purely software construct. There is no hardware involved in that at all.

I use that kernel all the time with no issues at all. As near as I can tell, you have several possible issues: 1. A runaway process 2. Your machine has been hacked and is doing evil things 3. Faulty hardware or memory The "ps -ax" and "top" commands will show you what's running on your machine (unless you've been had a rootkit hack), so that's the first thing to check. You should also try to run "chkrootkit" (do a google search for it, then download and run it) to check for a rootkit hack. You can test your memory by booting off FC2's first CD and entering "memcheck86" at the "boot:" prompt. If it shows bad memory, shut the machine down, open it up and reseat ALL of your cards (memory, PCI cards, and the CPU if possible). You'd be amazed at how many "cranky" machines get fixed just by reseating the cards. Run the memtest86 again and see if the problem has gone away. If so, voila! If not, then you probably do have bad RAM. And remember, Linux flogs your RAM a lot harder than Windows does. I've seen many systems with bad RAM run Windows but not Linux. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Memory is the second thing to go, but I can't remember the first! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From markknecht at gmail.com Mon Nov 15 18:29:20 2004 From: markknecht at gmail.com (Mark Knecht) Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2004 10:29:20 -0800 Subject: New FC2 not allowing ssh connections In-Reply-To: <4198E581.20704@vitalstream.com> References: <5bdc1c8b041113111847f6d341@mail.gmail.com> <4198E581.20704@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <5bdc1c8b0411151029319192bf@mail.gmail.com> On Mon, 15 Nov 2004 09:21:05 -0800, Rick Stevens wrote: > Mark Knecht wrote: > > > > Hi, > > I built a new FC2 machine from scratch recently.

Gentoo -> Gentoo - worked Gentoo - FC2 - failed FC2 -> Gentoo - worked FC2 -> FC2 - failed Gentoo -> FC2 (with iptables disabled at target) - worked FC2 -> FC2 (with iptables disabled at target) - worked Why is this a routing issue on the Gentoo box? Certainly I could have a routing issue on ALL machines I suppose. I set all machines up the same way, or as close as I could with scripts all being a bit different, and some boxes are fixed IP and one box was DHCP from the router. But why should disabling iptables on an FC2 box have 'fixed' a routing issue on a Gentoo box? Thanks!

(It also doesn't automatically enable any input ports by default either, so telnet, etc. don't work unless you turn it on.) I'd be happy to post any info that would help folks understand the setup better. To my mind FC2 seemed to be acting like it just didn't want to accept connections. sshd didn't run by default so I turned that on and could see the sshd process running, but I couldn't connect. I did get a couple of messages in the security logs about something failing to bind to port 22 since the port was in use. I was unclear from the messages what this was - my external machines ssh'ing in, or me trying to start sshd and failing, or something else entirely. For clarity I did not edit any service files or scripts.

If you set a high security firewall on install, virtually nothing gets through. If you selected medium, only incoming DNS gets through. You should be able to just dump /etc/sysconfig/iptables to see what it's doing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 sarangi at bpost.kek.jp Tue Nov 16 12:36:27 2004 From: sarangi at bpost.kek.jp (Tapas Ranjan) Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2004 21:36:27 +0900 (JST) Subject: Hangs up during reboot/shutdown In-Reply-To: <20041115170020.2EEA172F60@hormel.redhat.com> Message-ID: >Tapas Ranjan wrote: > >>Hi : >> Sometimes the pc hangs up during reboot.

What I meant here is, after network freezes, typing "ifconfig" doesn't respond at all. Nothing ( service pcmcia, network ) works to restart the network that time and when I reboot/shutdown the system to solve the network issue it hangs up at various points like shutting down "iptables" or "lo".

What is contained in the spec file? Is this done without first installing the .src.rpm? Or when I install the .src.rpm will I get a spec file? I looked at a spec file that was there, and that helped some, but I am not clear on where the PHP spec file will come from. The rpmbuild man pages did not help in this. Yes, you "rpm -ivh name-of-source-rpm.rpm". rpm then distributes the various files and such around the "/usr/src/redhat" directory. Once that's done, you can go to "/usr/src/redhat/SPECS". In there, you should find one or more "*.spec" files. The ".spec" files control the "rpmbuild" command. To have rpmbuild create a batch of files similar to what you'd get in a tarball, you'd "rpmbuild -bp name-of-spec-file.spec" which makes rpmbuild perform the "%prep" part of the .spec file. That's usually roughly equivalant of unpacking the source files and performing any patches that may need to be done. At that point, in the "/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES" directory should have a directory named after what you're trying to build, e.g. "kernel-2.6.9". You can then either move that directory somewhere convenient or leave it where it is. You can then enter the directory and typically do the normal "./configure;make;make install" as you would from a tarball. In a nutshell, once you have the .spec files, rpmbuild can do a lot of the work for you. Here are the rough equivalences between rpmbuild and the tarball method: rpmbuild tarball option equivalent --------- ---------------------------------------------- -bp tar xzf file.tgz (extraction) -bc tar;cd /newdir;./configure;make -bi tar;cd /newdir;./configure;make;make install The best way to learn is to play with it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - A squeegee, by any other name, wouldn't sound as funny. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From jaybee at bendcable.com Tue Nov 16 21:38:02 2004 From: jaybee at bendcable.com (Jared L.

My home network (hardwired) consists of an XP laptop (jblaptop) an old win98 machine (pavillion), my wife's Dell Dimension (dimension) and a workstation running RH8.0. All machines are networked except the linux box. I want the linux box connected so the analysis work I do on it can be easily sent to the laptop where I do all my report writing, printing and emailing (my transfer method now is by USB Thumbdrive). My internet setup has a cable modem connecting to a netgear 4 port router, which connects to each machine. I installed samba (3.0.8) and it seems to be working, but the names and addresses are out of whack. I can see the localhost on each windows machine but can't connect to it. I don't know the command for connecting to the windows machines from the linux box. I can access the netgear router with a web browser with the either the URL netgear or http://192.168.0.1. A guy tried to set up the network, but couldn't finish it. One thing he did was set the lmhosts file to: 127.0.0.1 localhost Also he set the hosts file to: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.1 netgear 192.168.0.2 laptop 192.168.0.4 pavillion hp The two comment lines have me spooked; I don't know why he did that. I added 2 lines which are 192.168.0.3 server 192.168.0.5 dimension The Samba-Guide says the hosts file should have the line 192.168.1.1 server I didn't put it in because it seemed that the netgear router already had an address similar to that (192.168.0.1).

The primary problem you have is that the PHP development RPM contains virtually all of the things PHP can do (essentially, the "./configure" part of the build has everything turned on), hence the need for all of the "-devel" RPMs. The "-devel" RPMs generally contain the headers and some libraries that third-party software need to be able to build. You can reduce your needs by modifying the spec file so that the stuff you don't need isn't part of the "./configure" portion of the rpmbuild. For example, if you're not going to use LDAP, make sure the spec file doesn't have "--enable-ldap" specified for the configure step. Of course, this makes your PHP build less than fully capable, but that's a call you have to make. The other option you have is to fetch the various PHP-related RPMs and install them. I'm not clear as to why you're doing a source install unless you need to tweak PHP in some manner. For most folk, the normal binary RPMs are adequate. Red Hat/Fedora/whoever are kind enough to build binary RPMs containing various various capabilities of PHP in bite-sized chunks so you don't have to install the whole lot. The same is true of the Perl RPMs and several others. As for me, I build PHP from php.net's source tarball myself, and only enable the stuff I need. RPMs are usually a version or three behind the source tarball from the vendors and I generally prefer the "latest and greatest". Since I manually control the "./configure" bit, I can build only what I need (similar to editing the configure portion of the spec file). I'm fairly experienced about building stuff and can thrash my way through the builds. A lot of people aren't, can't or are afraid to try, and pre-built RPMs are the way to go for them. That's why they were created in the first place. What's cool about open source? Lots of choices. What's painful open source? Lots of choices! ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Never test for an error condition you don't know how to handle. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From roger at audiblefaith.com Wed Nov 17 18:32:12 2004 From: roger at audiblefaith.com (Roger Harrell) Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2004 10:32:12 -0800 Subject: RPMBuild error Message-ID: <419B992C.4010402@audiblefaith.com> I have installed everything that were listed as dependancies (after chasing a few dependancy chains).

The simplest of the kiddie scripts makes only nine tries. The more recent ones make 107 tries. A new one makes over 900. In the case of the two latter ones, I do a whois on the address to find out who the contact point is, usually abuse at domain.tld. Then I send a nastygram to them with the relevant log exerpts and info about timezone, attacked server's IP, and such. I have gotten several compromised servers and abusive users taken off-line that way. Usually, some lax sysadmin discovers his machine has been cracked, perhaps by something as simple as one of those guessing scripts. One of the most educational things about those kiddie scripts is that you don't want to create an account "test" with password ... yeah, "test". A new sysadmin learned that the hard way. Some may say that complaining is like p***ing in the ocean, but I think it's worthwhile. And it's gratifying when you get back a reply that says the offending machine or client has been quarantined.

I am now trying to install an nvidia NVS800 graphics card using the Linux drivers nvidia offers on their download page. I have updated my XF86Config file with driver nvidia and have verified the appropriate modules are being loaded. However, X hangs when I try to start by initing to Level 5. Does anybody know what's going on? This is my first Linux distro after being on the business side of things. The last time I administered a UNIX box was over 10 years ago. I would appreciate any help you could offer. I started looking at the Xconfig file and log. The Xconfig file is loading 'fbdevhw'. Is that the same as rivafb, which I'm told should not be loaded when the nvidia driver is used. The Xconfig log said there was a failure reading EDID parameters for display device CRT-0. Is that a problem? Regards, Michael -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thank you, kind sir. It's nice to be appreciated. However, I'm just paying back the help I've received over the years from both this list and many, many others. That's what makes Linux so strong--lots of strangers willing to help each other. If you learn stuff, pass the knowledge along.

Oh, one final thing, Harold...generally we prefer bottom-posting on this list (actually, most Linux lists prefer bottom-posting). By that we mean you should add your comments AFTER what you're commenting on. This is the opposite of the default that Outlook (ugh!) uses. Bottom- posting helps to make the chronological flavor of the thread easier to follow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From roger at audiblefaith.com Thu Nov 18 18:35:45 2004 From: roger at audiblefaith.com (roger at audiblefaith.com) Date: 18 Nov 2004 18:35:45 -0000 Subject: PHP Source files Message-ID: <20041118183545.25178.qmail@mail.audiblefaith.com> >The primary problem you have is that the PHP development RPM contains >virtually all of the things PHP can do (essentially, the "./configure" >part of the build has everything turned on), hence the need for all of >the "-devel" RPMs. I actually did go through and modify the ./configure section of the .spec file and removed things I don't need such as Postgres, but it still required the postgres devel RPM.

It's fairly generic. I don't think it conflicts with the nvidia driver. Understand that anything I suggest is also generic as I generally use ATI cards myself (although _this_ machine has an old Nvidia RIVA TNT2 in it). > The Xconfig log said there was a failure reading EDID parameters for > display device CRT-0. Is that a problem? It could be. If the message is prefixed by "(EE)", yes it's an error and could be fatal. If it has "(WW)", it's a warning and shouldn't be fatal. The meaning of these flags is in the top of the log file, prefixed by the word "Markers:". If you look through the log file, can you see the spot where it says that the "nvidia" driver is loaded? Just after that, you should see something to the effect: "(--) Chipset (name-of-your-chipset) found" This simply verifies that your video card was indeed found. I'm just trying to make sure that the driver you have is compatible with your board (sometimes they aren't). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - ...Had this been an actual emergency, we would have fled in terror - - and you'd be on your own, pal! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From jaybee at bendcable.com Thu Nov 18 17:39:34 2004 From: jaybee at bendcable.com (Jared L.

No, we weren't ignoring you, Jared. I've been a bit busy and haven't been watching the list too closely. I seem to recall your smb.conf was a bit sketchy. If I recall, you intended to use share security. Did you create the appropriate users in Linux to match what's going on in Windows and did you create the smbpasswd file? The easiest way to administer samba is to use swat. Run "service swat start", then point your web browser to "http://localhost:901". Once you log in as the root user with the root user's password, you'll be given a GUI that you can manage the whole thing. The on-line help is good and can explain a lot of stuff. When you're done, disable swat by running "service swat stop" (you don't want outsiders to get at your swat config) or you can set up iptables to block outside incoming access to port 901 and leave swat running. It's up to you (I tend to stop swat when not using it). I also recommend you get a copy of the O'Reilly book "Using Samba" by Eckstein, Collier-Brown and Kelly. I consider it essential for Samba users--especially when you start using domain security or a Windows PDC for authentication. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Consciousness: that annoying time between naps. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Thu Nov 18 18:13:22 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2004 10:13:22 -0800 Subject: PHP Source files In-Reply-To: <20041118183545.25178.qmail@mail.audiblefaith.com> References: <20041118183545.25178.qmail@mail.audiblefaith.com> Message-ID: <419CE642.50309@vitalstream.com> roger at audiblefaith.com wrote: >>The primary problem you have is that the PHP development RPM contains >>virtually all of the things PHP can do (essentially, the "./configure" >>part of the build has everything turned on), hence the need for all of >>the "-devel" RPMs. > > > I actually did go through and modify the ./configure section of the .spec file and removed things I don't need such as Postgres, but it still required the postgres devel RPM. Odd... Did you also delete the ODBC stuff? That may require the postgres stuff, as it'd build an ODBC driver for it. Was it looking for libraries or headers when it barfed?

Really I should have installed PHP from source initially rather than the RPM route and will for future builds, but I'm proceeding using this as a learning experience for me with the whole RPM system. Ah. Which functions do you need? Would one of the add-on PHP RPMs do the job? There are at least 9 PHP-related RPMs. Unfortunately, you chose one of the more elaborate source RPMs to play with (the X, Gnome, KDE, kernel and Perl ones are more complex). I've never subscribed to the notion that the best way to learn to swim is to jump into the deep end.

Do I need an updated libgcc? Recommendations? Gee, hmmm. I was looking at an FC1 system. Lessee...no, libgcc is the RPM that supplies it on RH7.3 so I guess it's the same for you. Try ls /lib/libgcc_s* and see if that library actually exists on your system. If not, you may need to install a different RPM, but which one it would be I don't know. If it does exist, you may need to do an "ldconfig -v" and watch the output to see if the library gets processed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 roger at audiblefaith.com Fri Nov 19 00:10:31 2004 From: roger at audiblefaith.com (roger at audiblefaith.com) Date: 19 Nov 2004 00:10:31 -0000 Subject: PHP Source files Message-ID: <20041119001031.6551.qmail@mail.audiblefaith.com> >BTW, Roger, we prefer 72-character lines if possible.

It looks like it picked up five different cards. For a normal installation and a single card, you should have two ".conf" files, one with a four part name (xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx.conf) and one with a two-part name (xxxx:xxxx.conf) which should be a symlink to the long name. For the stuff below, I'm looking at a Broadcom chip in my laptop, so the hard numbers below will be different for you...I'm only using them as a template. Do a "lspci" and note which slot the card is in. Then do a "lspci -vn" and take note of the ID number (the "wwww:xxxx" bit below): 00:12.0 Class 0280: wwww:xxxx and the subsystem number for the card: Subsystem: yyyy:zzzz The config file you want should be named: wwww:xxxx:yyyy:zzzz.conf The symlink pointing to that should be wwww:xxxx.conf -> wwww:xxxx:yyyy:zzzz.conf Clean that bit up and try to modprobe it again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Squawk!

I tried all that. It didn't work. I got rid of the EDID warnings by putting an option to ignore. I do properly load "glx" and not "dri" nor"GLcore" as in the docs. I've added the details in the config file for my monitor. The keyboard errors do occur when VESA is used and X starts properly. The logfile looks good. I even tried it with the verbose option of startx. The graphics card is found. There is a line specifying the card type NVS 280. There is no error associated with the Nvidia card whatsoever. The only thing I found was a: NVIDIA: failed to set MTRR 0xC0000000, 256M (write-combining). sent to standard OUTPUT (not log file) while in verbose mode. I'll have to do some research on this. At this point, I've tried everything I have found in the nvidia doc and in internet forums. I'll look some more. If I don't find anything, I'll have to contact nvidia. Who knows? Maybe if I correct the keyboard issues, X will work (even though the VESA driver has no problem with the errors being there).

I don't think the keyboard is a problem. I do have a question...if you fire up in run-level 3 and run "xinit", does it come up? If not (if you just get a blank screen), try hoding down CTRL and ALT, then hit F12. That should kick you out of the X display. Then "ALT-F1" should get you a console login screen. Log in and see if there's anything weird in the X log at that point. It may be simply that it's freaking out your monitor. In that case, try changing the line: Modes "800x600" "640x480" to Modes "640x480" in your config file (in other words, force VGA mode) and try again. If that works, you've got problems in your monitor description. It's just a guess. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 markknecht at gmail.com Thu Nov 18 23:43:41 2004 From: markknecht at gmail.com (Mark Knecht) Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2004 15:43:41 -0800 Subject: In trouble with Wireless installation - Dlink DWL-G510 In-Reply-To: <419D2A55.7000604@vitalstream.com> References: <5bdc1c8b0411181251399bc229@mail.gmail.com> <5bdc1c8b041118130443654ea9@mail.gmail.com> <419D2A55.7000604@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <5bdc1c8b041118154356d42c5e@mail.gmail.com> On Thu, 18 Nov 2004 15:03:49 -0800, Rick Stevens wrote: > Mark Knecht wrote: > > > > On Thu, 18 Nov 2004 12:51:50 -0800, Mark Knecht wrote: > > FYI - looking in /etc/ndiswrapper/neta3ab it looks like it installed > > the Win XP version.

However, Fedora kernels disable this option altogether and use 4K stack size, which is not enough for some windows drivers. Consequently, if you use Fedora 2.6 kernel, ndiswrapper will most likely crash. If you want to use Fedora kernel, get 16K stack kernel or patch from Linuxant http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc2-kernel-i686.php for i686 or http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc2-kernel-i586.php for i586. Alternately, you can compile a vanilla kernel (from http://www.kernel.org) and disable 4K stack size (CONFIG_4KSTACKS).

I don't think the keyboard is a problem. I do have a question...if you fire up in run-level 3 and run "xinit", does it come up? If not (if you just get a blank screen), try hoding down CTRL and ALT, then hit F12. That should kick you out of the X display. Then "ALT-F1" should get you a console login screen. Log in and see if there's anything weird in the X log at that point. It may be simply that it's freaking out your monitor. In that case, try changing the line: Modes "800x600" "640x480" to Modes "640x480" in your config file (in other words, force VGA mode) and try again. If that works, you've got problems in your monitor description. It's just a guess. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-install-list mailing list Redhat-install-list at redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: redhat-install-list-request at redhat.com Subject: unsubscribe From MLandman at face2interface.com Fri Nov 19 16:07:05 2004 From: MLandman at face2interface.com (Marty Landman) Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2004 11:07:05 -0500 Subject: windows emulator and X setup?

This is the tricky part. There are 4 flavors of windows emulators. a. With vmware and win4lin you actually install Windows and run it as a virtual machine. As long as the games don't use DirectX they should work. This supports most Windows applications (except things like audio recorders, etc). Your CPU may not be beefy enough to run these very well, I'd check to see if there is a minimum recommended CPU. b. wine. This is a general-purpose program that replaces Windows calls with native X/Linux calls. It can run some things perfectly, many things not bad and is a mixed bag for most. c. Crossover. This is good for business applications such as MS Office but browser plugins such as QuickTime also work. And they've just added basic iTunes support. This is a fork of wine that submits most if not all of its changes back to wine. d. Cedega. This is geared towards games. Some DirectX games will work. This is also a fork of wine but they only submit a fraction of changes back. If you don't have a GeForce series nVidia card I wouldn't bother. The ATi drivers don't work well and DRI is very slow with Cedega. For kids educational games this might not be a problem I suppose. With b - d you need to do a lot of research to see whether your app or game will work. There is no reason (other than cost perhaps) you can't have all 3 installed at once. c & d cost money while b is free. > > 4. re. #3, what kind of effort, heartache, & misery am I looking at?

Multi-user games may be handled differently in wine than in Windows which could be frustrating for your kids.

You will be able to tell if the SCSI is recognized, etc. I like to test with Morphix-Gnome (morphix.org) or Knoppix (knoppix.org for download and knoppix.net for documentation). Also I'd jump past RH9 and try Fedora Core 2 for a full install.

I think I mentioned that I mostly use ATI. One reason is that ATI releases data to the open source community--which nVidia doesn't. I've almost never had an issue with ATI, while I've heard lots of horror stories with nVidia. I also tend to support hardware companies that embrace open source. Granted, sometimes the nVidia stuff is faster than ATI, but I don't play games or do huge 3D rendering jobs. I'm primarily a software developer and engineer. If it runs X reasonably well and my GUI development stuff (source navigator/insight, etc.) work, I'm happy. My ATI 85xx/87xx/89xx and Radeon Mobile stuff on my laptop is plenty fast for me. I guess I'm a "power user", but not as far as graphics go. This is just my opinion. I'm sure there are people that will swear _by_ nVidia as much as I swear _at_ it. You use what feels comfortable to you. With my job, I have enough problems without having to shoehorn proprietary drivers into an open source platform (right now, I'm trying to graft GFS onto a non-NPTL 2.4 kernel a'la RH7.3...ugh!) > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com > [mailto:redhat-install-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Rick Stevens > Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2004 6:34 PM > To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > Subject: Re: Installing nVidia for AMD64/EM64T cards > > Michael Velez wrote: > >>Rick, >> >>I have checked the nvidia README file, which gave me leads on AGP and >>searches for different monitors (which is the stuff I put in my last >>e-mail, at the bottom).

The odds are, yes. It rather depends on the video card and how you have the hard drive partitioned. For a RH9 installation (with X), I'd recommend at least 8 GB--more if you plan to do any development work. > 2. will RH likely have a suitable driver for my SCSI? The vast majority of SCSI controllers are supported. It's the controller that matters--not the drive. > 3. is it possible for me to get this machine running RH9 and able to run > windoz apps, especially games? Ugh! Well, yes, but it rather depends on which windows apps you're speaking of. Wine will run most business apps but not a lot of games. The problem is that games take advantage of several "hooks" in Windows. You can run things such as Win4Lin (where you actually run a copy of Windows as a task under Linux), but it won't work with games that use DirectX or any direct hardware access. VMware is another option, but there are also limits as to what games will work with it. Note that both VMWare and Win4Lin are commercial products. My recommendation is that you set up the machine as dual-boot. When you want to run Linux, you boot it in Linux. When you run games, you boot it in Windows. You just can't do both at the same time. If you plan to dual-boot, you may want to get a bigger hard drive. > 4. re. #3, what kind of effort, heartache, & misery am I looking at? If you set up dual-boot it's not hard...you just have to reserve some of the hard drive for Linux. You could: 1. Shrink your existing Windows partitions using something like PartitionMagic or gparted 2. Replace the drive with a bigger one and ghost over the existing Windows partitions. 3. Install a second hard drive for Linux only. If you want to have the system run Linux and Windows simultaneously, I think you'd better look at VMWare. It ain't cheap, though, and I won't guarantee it'll run all your games. > FWIW I don't mind spending a day or two on this and then finding out > it's not going to work. My kids have gotten used to the inconvenience by > now. :) I'd also like to say that you would be happier installing Fedora Core 2 rather than RH9. RH9 is essentially dead, although the Fedora Legacy project is still doing updates for it. For non-techies, FC2 is the latest "stable" release. FC3 is very new, and I don't necessarily recommend it for the average user just yet as there are still some teething issues involved. I suggest that average users wait until December to use FC3 to let some of us get a better handle on the more common problems that people will run into. I mean, hey! We're just now getting good at FC2! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Life: That which happens while you search for the remote control. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Fri Nov 19 19:06:52 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2004 11:06:52 -0800 Subject: RPMBuild error In-Reply-To: <419E312C.90603@audiblefaith.com> References: <20041119163521.B01F7735A2@hormel.redhat.com> <419E312C.90603@audiblefaith.com> Message-ID: <419E444C.3090808@vitalstream.com> Roger Harrell wrote: >> Gee, hmmm.

RH9 uses a 2.4 kernel while FC2 uses a 2.6 kernel. RH9 uses XFree86, FC2 uses Xorg's X. There are lots of other differences.

Has FC2 taken care of their UPGRADE option? Again - which is it better (1) To UPGRADE or (2) Do a start fresh Install? Always the most difficult question and least work is always convenient.

Well, when skipping that many revs I'd go for the fresh install. Remember that you're going from a 2.4 to a 2.6 kernel and from XFree86 to Xorg. That being said, I think I did go from a RH9 to an FC2 via upgrade and didn't really have any issues. My memory of that is a bit fuzzy, though. I may have gone RH9->FC1->FC2. Can't recall.

No, but the proper mechanism is an update, e.g "rpm -uvh --force". You may also need new Gnome RPMs and stuff. Before you go any further, leave it in run level 3 and try "yum -y update" to make sure the system is updated with the latest stuff. You may find this fixes the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - We look for things.

It's possible. I've heard a number of things about 64T installs that make me nervous about anything other than a CD installation. The fact that it puts you in interactive, CD mode indicates to me that something in the network code isn't there. Have you checked the other virtual consoles (ALT-F2, etc.)? Have you tried it by specifying the IP address of the server rather than the FQDN? Maybe the DNS doesn't resolve. Kickstart is a bit, uhm, terse when it comes to useful error messages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Duct Tape + Magic Marker = Label Maker! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From gnichols at tpg.com.au Fri Nov 19 23:51:08 2004 From: gnichols at tpg.com.au (Graeme Nichols) Date: Sat, 20 Nov 2004 10:51:08 +1100 Subject: Will Nvu work in RedHat 9 In-Reply-To: <1100887892.5589.7.camel@redhat90> References: <1100887892.5589.7.camel@redhat90> Message-ID: <1100908268.3682.5.camel@barney.localdomain> On Sat, 2004-11-20 at 05:11, Chris A Czerwinski wrote: > I inherited a Web Site that uses Dreamweaver, which I use on my XP and I > am searching for something similar to use in Linux RedHat9 and someone > suggested Nvu.

Nathan, in my humble opinion a fresh install is always better if you are upgrading from a version several releases old AND you are able to backup your data to a location you are absolutely sure you can restore it from. That being said I 'upgraded' from RH8 to FC2 without much difficulty. The only thing to remember is that FC2 uses xorg's X. Also you could run into problems with the 2.6 kernel. I struck several. But I am very happy with my FC2 install all things considered. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards, Graeme Nichols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, we will be going to OSI, Mars, and Pluto, but not necessarily in that order. -- Jeffrey Honig ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Sat Nov 20 00:01:50 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2004 16:01:50 -0800 Subject: Will Nvu work in RedHat 9 In-Reply-To: <1100908268.3682.5.camel@barney.localdomain> References: <1100887892.5589.7.camel@redhat90> <1100908268.3682.5.camel@barney.localdomain> Message-ID: <419E896E.3000504@vitalstream.com> Graeme Nichols wrote: > On Sat, 2004-11-20 at 05:11, Chris A Czerwinski wrote: > >>I inherited a Web Site that uses Dreamweaver, which I use on my XP and I >>am searching for something similar to use in Linux RedHat9 and someone >>suggested Nvu.

The mechanical engineer spoke up: "Gotta be a fuel problem. Pop the hood and I'll have a look." The electrical engineer said, "No, no. It smells like the ignition system. Let me have at it." The Microsoft engineer said, "I have an idea. Let's close all the windows, get out of the car, get back in and open the windows again. Maybe it'll work." The other two engineers looked at each other, turned back to the MS guy and said, "The car's computer doesn't run CE, dude. Besides, those are clutch, brake and gas pedals, not CTRL, ALT and DEL." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 dennett at rochester.rr.com Sat Nov 20 00:34:23 2004 From: dennett at rochester.rr.com (Charles R.

I take that back. When I got home I checked what I had in my download area. I did not have the source. I had two tarfiles. One was for fedora2. The other was named nvu-0.40-pc-linux-gnu.tar. It's this latter one I had untarred into the place I usually install stuff. (I typically install in either /usr or /usr/local and then put a link in /usr/local/bin pointing to the executable. Keeps the path short) So, it looks like I downloaded the tarball that was built on Linspire (Debian k2.4) and it worked on my RH9 system. So, give the Debian tarball a shot. It just might work.

I usually download to /usr/download, move tarballs, etc. to > /usr/xxx and build from there. This is morphing into a different thread, but here's what I do. In a past life I was a sys admin for a bunch of Sun systems but got downsized. We'd install the OS on a single partition, but maybe put /var on its own partition depending on what the system was for. /usr/local would either be its own partition or be an NFS mount from a server. I implemented that method when I put together my own Linux server at home, except that /usr/local is not a separate partition. I download other software such as RPMs and tarballs or whatever to a separate partition called /space1/Software. Software that does not automatically install itself in /usr/local or /usr I will usually install in /usr/XXX or /usr/local/XXX For example, nvu is installed in /usr/nvu.40. Then I have a link at /usr/local/bin/nvu that points to /usr/nvu.40/nvu. I do something similar with firefox and thunderbird. They are in /usr/firefox and /usr/thunderbird. The use of links in /usr/local/bin means I don't have to keep adding lots of other directories to my path. /usr/local/bin is already there. I can install a new version is a different directory, flip the link, and test out the new stuff without losing the old. Hmm. This machine is dual boot but I can't remember the last time I used windows. Have no more use for it. I should reuse the old 10 gig windows partition for /usr/local to keep my software separate from the rest of RH9.

I'll do a little more reading up in Fedora and set up some time next week for this exercise before I decide ... 1. A fresh Install and copy the files from backup or 2. Copy source and build or 3. Maybe I'll even resurrect my old 40GB HD and install Fedora Core 2 and attach my present HD as a slave and use it so I don't have to copy or restore from backup - just clean up the second HD. Option 3 looks a little less work, but I never had the luxury of a second HD what should I be careful of. Any insights.

I have a Seagate STT8000A on /dev/hdd and I call it /dev/nht0. Check this: cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdd/name It may say something like "ht0". Normally, the non-rewinding version is used, /dev/nht0. If it doesn't respond to that try modprobe ide-tape then try again. Here's an interesting thing about my tape. After a reboot, an attempt to back up to it results in a failure like "device busy" or some such, but the next and all following work fine. When I upgraded to FC2, I think that problem went away. I don't recall. I don't reboot that much. :-) Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. robertmcclure at earthlink.net http://www.bobcatos.com Grace happens.

No, but the proper mechanism is an update, e.g "rpm -uvh --force". You may also need new Gnome RPMs and stuff. Before you go any further, leave it in run level 3 and try "yum -y update" to make sure the system is updated with the latest stuff. You may find this fixes the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - We look for things. Things that make us go! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Rick, the "yum" suggestion was a good one (I hadn't used yum before). I used "yum install [programname]" on gnome-session, gtk2, pango, and xorg - all of the programs that I thought were related to my problem. But, amazingly, I get the same error message when I run startx. Other possible clues: 1. this was an upgrade not an install so it seems clear that some remnant of the old OS is interfering. 2. When I do "X -xf86config /etc/X11/xorg.new.conf" I get an X-cursor that I can control with the mouse, but the background is completely black. Isn't this supposed to be a TWM manager with at least one xterm window up? 3. The error message: /etc/security/selinux/file_contexts: No such file or directory appeared many times during the execution of yum. Any other suggestions to fix my gnome-session problem? thanks much for the help!

We're all just friends. The first step is to know what's in your system. Please post the output of lspci and we'll look at the sound card or chip in your system. I.e.: 0000:00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP150 AC'97 Audio Controller You can also just try the program alsaconf (as root) and see if it discovers the sound chip.

In my Valhalla days ( when i was using Redhat 7.3 ) i remember there was a programm called sndconfig . Back then i had a Mad 16 pro soundcard . I recall that in order to be able to use it under linux i had to boot to windows pick up the settings ( I/O port , DMA Channel , ..one more thing that i can't recall ) supply them to sndconfig under linux and there it was . Do you think that something similar could work for Vijaykumar ?

I've not heard of it for Alsa. Presuming that he wants to use Alsa, then alsaconf is the right place to start. However I have not heard of his sound chip before. I do not know if it's supported by Alsa so he'll just have to experiment a bit. Possibly it just uses the normal Intel driver. Not sure. If he's interested in audio on Redhat/FC then he should check out the PlanetCCRMA site. It's far and away the easiest way to get sound working well on these distros. http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ On Mon, 22 Nov 2004 02:16:54 +0200, Kostas Sfakiotakis wrote: > Greetings Mark , > > > > Mark Knecht wrote: > > > Vijaykumar, > > Hi.

Jeff, Since you have confirmed that the scripts in question are linked properly, in the correct directory for run level 3, executable and working... this is my best guess: the system is not getting to run level 3. The other services you list above also start in other run levels. Have you checked the output of "who -r" or the "runlevel" command? Perhaps check the initdefault level in /etc/inittab. -- Nix > > Thanks in advance for any info. > Jeff > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-install-list mailing list > Redhat-install-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list > To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: > redhat-install-list-request at redhat.com > Subject: unsubscribe > From jaybee at bendcable.com Mon Nov 22 16:13:07 2004 From: jaybee at bendcable.com (Jared L.

The default run level was set to 5, which makes sense. I had been accustomed to setting them in rc3.d on my RH8 box and old job(all Solaris), as none of those servers had X installed.

SCSI tapes are "/dev/stx" and "/dev/nstx". Bob, you might try "mt -i /dev/ht0 rewoffl" first (rewind and eject). Sometimes that initializes the drive adequately to prevent such issues. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 Mon Nov 22 17:58:56 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 09:58:56 -0800 Subject: RPMBuild error In-Reply-To: <419F8A20.40302@audiblefaith.com> References: <20041120170050.4FD5D73D94@hormel.redhat.com> <419F8A20.40302@audiblefaith.com> Message-ID: <41A228E0.70507@vitalstream.com> Roger Harrell wrote: >> Gee, hmmm.

I can understand "cannot find libgcc_s.so", but not one with the "-l" in front. Uh, check the Makefile. It looks like somewhere in there it's doing an "-l -lgcc_s". It may be from a macro, so check those, too. Check for "EXTRALIBS" or something like that and make sure it just has "gcc_s" in it, not preceeded by "-l". A quick check would be by going to the top level directory of the source and: grep -r "-lgcc" * If you find such a beast, make sure you squawk it via bugzilla. > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > make[1]: *** [php] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/php-4.2.2/build-cgi' > make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.47783 (%build) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 Mon Nov 22 18:01:35 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 10:01:35 -0800 Subject: GTK problems with FC2 In-Reply-To: <854905.1100996644214.JavaMail.j-pinkney@onu.edu> References: <854905.1100996644214.JavaMail.j-pinkney@onu.edu> Message-ID: <41A2297F.4040207@vitalstream.com> Jason Charles Pinkney wrote: >>Dear Redhatters, >> >>I upgraded my RH 7.3 to > > FC2 today. > >>I think I have Xorg working because I >>can get a black screen with an "X" after >>I do an "Xorg " command.

An upgrade! Yes, go to /etc/X11 and rename or delete the old XFree86 config file. There are options in it that will interfere with the Xorg stuff. Try to run with a pure Xorg file. You could even delete both the XFree86 and Xorg configs and run "system-config-display" to rebuild an Xorg file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Nov 22 18:11:47 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 10:11:47 -0800 Subject: Camera Help In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <41A22BE3.7080108@vitalstream.com> brad.mugleston at comcast.net wrote: > My daughter has a Canon digital Rebel which I borrowed.

There's another option you could do. 99% of all digital cameras just use a FAT filesystem on their memory. If you have the camera attached to the computer, try doing an "fdisk -l /dev/sda" and see if you get a listing of partitions. If you do, try: mount /dev/sdax /mnt/cdrom (where the "x" is the partition number). You should then be able to walk down the camera's file system which now appears at /mnt/cdrom: ls /mnt/cdrom For example, with my Canon camera connected, "fdisk /dev/sda" shows a single partiton, 1. If I: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cdrom Then I see the entire filesystem at: /mnt/cdrom/dcim/olymp200/img00001.jpg etc. > > Thanks, > -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Never put off 'til tommorrow what you can forget altogether! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From roger at audiblefaith.com Mon Nov 22 19:28:48 2004 From: roger at audiblefaith.com (roger at audiblefaith.com) Date: 22 Nov 2004 19:28:48 -0000 Subject: RPMBuild Message-ID: <20041122192848.21860.qmail@mail.audiblefaith.com> >Well, sorta.

If you want to >create an installable source RPM and the binary, you can bypass all of >that guano and > > # rpmbuild --rebuild name-of-src.rpm Going back to an earlier post on this subject. I've made some progress and was able to get rpmbuild -bp php.spec to run. So now I have a patched php-4.2.2 under /usr/src/redhat/BUILD. So I can do a configure/make/make install. Now my concern before proceeding is how this is going to impact with the RPM install of PHP. Since this was built from the .src.rpm of the same version should it update the existing PHP? What do I need to do/worry about here? Background: I have php-4.2.2-17.2.i386.rpm installed I just installed php-4.2.2-17.2.src.rpm modified the php.spec (not that it matters because I modified the configure portion) and ran rpmbuild -bp php.spec. I want to run configure/make/make install on my new php-4.2.2 but am concerned about the impact on the installed RPM version.

Any insights. 3 is probably the easiest, but also the most clunky. A backup of your current files to RELIABLE media, a fresh install and a restoration is the cleanest method but also the most work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Heisenberg _may_ have slept here - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From robertmcclure at earthlink.net Mon Nov 22 20:41:28 2004 From: robertmcclure at earthlink.net (Bob McClure Jr) Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 14:41:28 -0600 Subject: Seagate STT3401A on FC2 In-Reply-To: <41A227B7.1090707@vitalstream.com> References: <1100971251.8622.12.camel@flclxserver> <20041120232139.GB24052@bobcat.bobcatos.com> <41A227B7.1090707@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <20041122204128.GA13984@bobcat.bobcatos.com> On Mon, Nov 22, 2004 at 09:53:59AM -0800, Rick Stevens wrote: > Bob McClure Jr wrote: > > > > > >Here's an interesting thing about my tape.

Basically, two partitions are unusable. Both of these partitions are RAID 1 devices which share the same two IDE hard disks (/dev/hda and /dev/hdc are two 250 GB drives, and /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 are two RAID 1 devices which take 70 and 180 GB from each drive, respectively). Any hints? I looked into fsck, but I am not sure what is the right thing to do.

Using the command line I was able to download the 100 photos I took of my son at the city wrestling match (he took second). I installed GTKAM and now have a nice front end for gphoto. It even detected my camera. Now I'm really playing - I've got some old serial digital cameras (the less then $20 ones) and one is even listed in the supported cameras. Now I just need to get something to work with it (I always had a problem with it even using the software that came with it). Thanks everyone.

I can see how the error might be caused by that if $LIBS is empty. I suspect the ld line in Makefile is something like: ld -o something -l $LIBS object1.o object2.o... If $LIBS was empty at the configure, the line would end up something like: ld -o something -l -lgcc object1.o object2.o... And the "-l -lgcc" would cause an error. But again, the line you cite above is "-lgcc" and not "-lgcc_s". Hmmmmm. > The rpmbuild gets through the build stage, but can't configure. I'm not sure exactly how you mean. Usually the configure step is before the build. I think you mean it gets past the "prep" stage (untarring and patching source). In a nutshell, an rpmbuild goes like this: %prep untar patch %build configure make %install make install ... Can you clue me in again on which source RPM this is again? I'll probably need to try to do it myself to see what's going on.

I looked into fsck, but I am not sure what is the right thing to > do. Ben, fsck is a tool that will (hopefully) fix filesystem inconsistencies. You should boot up in single user mode and run fsck against the two filesystems that have issues. Note that you may lose some data when you do that. Data that can't be reattached to their files will end up in the "lost+found" directory of the filesystem being fsck'd and given filenames that refer to their inode number. You may be able to rebuild the file by looking at those files, but it's a tedious, error-fraught process. Since you set up RAID 1, you should first split the RAIDs into two disks and see if either disk has clean versions of the data. If so, you may be able to purge the bad drive and recreate the RAID. The most important thing to figure out is why you started getting I/O errors in the first place. Is one of the drives dying? Did you have a power glitch? Did a RAM stick start acting weird? You must fix the underlying issue or you're just going to get a repeat of this event. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Brain: The organ with which we think that we think. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From fruiz at tsitrucks.com Tue Nov 23 20:46:42 2004 From: fruiz at tsitrucks.com (Francisco Ruiz) Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 14:46:42 -0600 Subject: Samba setup on RH8.0 In-Reply-To: <41A37B42.10205@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <002c01c4d19d$8a05e7d0$5c08a8c0@tsidomain.com> Nope nothing.

I know that XP home cannot connect to a DOMAIN while XP Pro Can. What I am not sure about is where and how Samba/Linux fits into that picture. 1) Does Samba become the DOMAIN controller (I think yes) 2) Can the XP Home and PRO stations connect to SAMBA equivalently? 3) If answer to 2 is No,what must I do? 4) Lastly can Samba be part of a standard Windows workgroup? The Samba stuff I have been looking at doesn't clearly differentiate between connections to XP Home vs Pro systems (or possibly I have Early-Onset Turkey-Induced Concentration Disorder). :) Thanks in advance for your help.

I can see how the error might be caused by that if $LIBS is empty. I suspect the ld line in Makefile is something like: ld -o something -l $LIBS object1.o object2.o... If $LIBS was empty at the configure, the line would end up something like: ld -o something -l -lgcc object1.o object2.o... And the "-l -lgcc" would cause an error. But again, the line you cite above is "-lgcc" and not "-lgcc_s". Hmmmmm. > The rpmbuild gets through the build stage, but can't configure. I'm not sure exactly how you mean.

I looked into fsck, but I am not sure what is the right thing to > do. Ben, fsck is a tool that will (hopefully) fix filesystem inconsistencies. You should boot up in single user mode and run fsck against the two filesystems that have issues. Note that you may lose some data when you do that. Data that can't be reattached to their files will end up in the "lost+found" directory of the filesystem being fsck'd and given filenames that refer to their inode number. You may be able to rebuild the file by looking at those files, but it's a tedious, error-fraught process. Since you set up RAID 1, you should first split the RAIDs into two disks and see if either disk has clean versions of the data. If so, you may be able to purge the bad drive and recreate the RAID. The most important thing to figure out is why you started getting I/O errors in the first place. Is one of the drives dying? Did you have a power glitch? Did a RAM stick start acting weird? You must fix the underlying issue or you're just going to get a repeat of this event. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Brain: The organ with which we think that we think. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Message: 12 Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 14:46:42 -0600 From: "Francisco Ruiz" Subject: RE: Samba setup on RH8.0 To: "'Getting started with Red Hat Linux'" Message-ID: <002c01c4d19d$8a05e7d0$5c08a8c0 at tsidomain.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Nope nothing.

I know that XP home cannot connect to a DOMAIN while XP Pro Can. What I am not sure about is where and how Samba/Linux fits into that picture. 1) Does Samba become the DOMAIN controller (I think yes) 2) Can the XP Home and PRO stations connect to SAMBA equivalently? 3) If answer to 2 is No,what must I do? 4) Lastly can Samba be part of a standard Windows workgroup? The Samba stuff I have been looking at doesn't clearly differentiate between connections to XP Home vs Pro systems (or possibly I have Early-Onset Turkey-Induced Concentration Disorder). :) Thanks in advance for your help.

The machine is connected to a UPS, so no power glitch. How can I check my RAM? What is the best way to check the hard drives (besides fsck -c)? Following the Software RAID How-to, I did the following: # cat /var/log/messages | grep hda [tons of blocks like:] kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, ... kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector ... kernel: raid1: hda1: rescheduling block ... kernel: raid1: hda1: unrecoverable I/O read error for block ... # cat /var/log/message | grep hdc ... kernel: md: kicking non-fresh hdc2 from array! ... kernel: md: kicking non-fresh hdc2 from array! ... kernel: md: md1 already running, cannot run hdc2 ... kernel: md: md0 already running, cannot run hdc1 # more /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] read_ahead 1024 sectors Event: 2 md1: active raid1 hda2[0] 173429632 blocks [2/1] [U_] md0: active raid1 hda1[0] 71581920 blocks [2/1] [U_] unused devices: # lsraid -a /dev/md0 [dev 9, 0] /dev/md0 (...cryptic numbers...) online [dev 3, 1] /dev/hda1 (... cryptic numbers...) good [dev ?, ?] (unknown) (zeroes) missing same for /dev/md1 # mdadm --detail /dev/md0 ...

So if I pop in a replacement drive for /dev/hdc and do raidhotadd (is that the way to go?), you think the RAID device might be reconstructed completely? But why did I get ioerrors in the first place then -- isn't RAID supposed to avoid that? I mean, I thought even if one disk fails, the RAID array should still work ok, and I just have to replace the broken drive?? Thanks for any input. Is there more online documentation for software RAID? Can anybody recommend a system administration book which is good for the part-time research group admin?

If they're directories, they don't have any parents anymore and their "back link" will probably take you back to / or your home directory. You'd need to "ls" them to see which files are contained in them--you may then sort out where they belong. As far as the regular files are concerned, you need to look at their contents to see if maybe you can concatenate them together to reconstruct the original file. As I said before, it's tedious and very error-prone. >> Since you set up RAID 1, you should first split the RAIDs into two disks >> and see if either disk has clean versions of the data.

If you did the fsck on md0 and md1 before splitting the RAID1, yes, it's very possible. >> The most important thing to figure out is why you started getting I/O >> errors in the first place.

How can I check my RAM? You can run memtest86 on it. If you are running Fedora Core, boot the first CD and at the "boot:" prompt, enter "memtest86". If not, you can download a floppy image of it from "http://www.memtest86.com", put it on a floppy and boot that. You can also get a couple of CDs that I keep handy: The Ultimate Boot CD http://www.ultimatebootcd.com RIP (Recovery Is Possible) http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/ They're both bootable and have lots of diagnostics and such on them. I keep current copies in my laptop case at all times--just in case I have to bail out a buddy. > What is the best way to check the hard drives (besides fsck -c)? > Following the > Software RAID How-to, I did the following: > > # cat /var/log/messages | grep hda > [tons of blocks like:] > kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } > kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, ... > kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector ... > kernel: raid1: hda1: rescheduling block ... > kernel: raid1: hda1: unrecoverable I/O read error for block ... > > # cat /var/log/message | grep hdc > ... > kernel: md: kicking non-fresh hdc2 from array! > ... > kernel: md: kicking non-fresh hdc2 from array! > ... > kernel: md: md1 already running, cannot run hdc2 > ... > kernel: md: md0 already running, cannot run hdc1 > > # more /proc/mdstat > Personalities : [raid1] > read_ahead 1024 sectors > Event: 2 > md1: active raid1 hda2[0] > 173429632 blocks [2/1] [U_] > > md0: active raid1 hda1[0] > 71581920 blocks [2/1] [U_] > > unused devices: > > # lsraid -a /dev/md0 > [dev 9, 0] /dev/md0 (...cryptic numbers...) online > [dev 3, 1] /dev/hda1 (... cryptic numbers...) good > [dev ?, ?] (unknown) (zeroes) missing > > same for /dev/md1 > > # mdadm --detail /dev/md0 > ... > Raid Devices: 2 > Total Devices: 1 > ... > State: dirty, no-errors > Active devices: 1 > Working devices: 1 > Failed devices: 0 > Spare devices: 0 > > Number Major Minor RaidDevice State > 0 3 1 0 active sync /dev/hda1 > 1 0 0 1 faulty removed > ... > > > same for /dev/md1 > > > I don't really understand what's going on.

Had you run the fsck on the drives as individuals, you may have had a chance. Once you ran it on the RAID volumes, all bets are off. This is the inherent danger in using software RAID--you're depending on the computer to be healthy to keep the RAID going. If the computer is healthy and one of the drives fails, the system will keep running. If, however, the computer gets sick (and this seems to be what happened), the RAID is compromised. Who knows what evil things it did? This is why I NEVER recommend software RAID. If you must have redundancy or high-availability, spend the extra $200 or so and use hardware RAID. It really is cheap insurance (as you have unfortunately found out). > Thanks for any input. Is there more online documentation for software RAID? > Can anybody recommend a system administration book which is good for the > part-time research group admin? The software RAID HOWTO is the best for Linux software RAID. As far as system administration, the O'Reilly "Unix System Administration", "Linux System Administration" and "Essential System Administration" books are all pretty good. So is SAMS' "Linux Unleashed" and the Cybex book by a similar name. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Okay, who put a "stop payment" on my reality check? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From bho at gmx.net Wed Nov 24 22:01:20 2004 From: bho at gmx.net (Benjamin Hornberger) Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2004 17:01:20 -0500 Subject: input/output errors In-Reply-To: <41A50012.6020205@vitalstream.com> References: <32383.1101180618@www71.gmx.net> <41A39155.5020407@vitalstream.com> <6.1.2.0.2.20041124101528.027db208@pop.gmx.net> <41A50012.6020205@vitalstream.com> Message-ID: <6.1.2.0.2.20041124164730.027b5e90@pop.gmx.net> At 01:41 PM 11/24/2004 -0800, you wrote: >Benjamin Hornberger wrote: >>Thanks for your help so far!

Had a power outage Thursday morning and shut everything down. Then booted up when power came back. Yesterday, I did the suggested "mt -f /dev/ht0 rewoffl", which ran without complaint. This morning's backup report was: backup started at Sun Nov 28 04:25:38 CST 2004 afio: "/dev/nht0" [offset 5m+880k+0]: Fatal error: afio: "/dev/nht0": Input/output error backup finished at Sun Nov 28 04:26:47 CST 2004 I re-ran it in the background (with an "at" command) and it worked fine, as it will every subsequent time until it's rebooted again. It's not a problem anymore on my other machine that I've upgraded to FC2. Gotta get that done on this one Real Soon Now. Hope you had a happy turkey (day).

You may still have other issues. Most common of those are dirty PCI slot connectors, a loose CPU or a flakey power supply. The first two are easy to fix up-- simply unplug and replug all of your PCI cards and CPUs. The power supply is harder to diagnose without a recording DVM. fsck will report the i-node number of the questionable block and what it thinks the problem is. If you don't use the "-a" or "-y" options, you can interactively control what gets fixed and what doesn't. You can also write down what fsck is telling you. No, fsck doesn't leave a log. You can't trust the filesystems to hold a log or you wouldn't be running fsck in the first place! ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Nov 29 18:25:39 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2004 10:25:39 -0800 Subject: Wireless Help In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <41AB69A3.4050307@vitalstream.com> brad.mugleston at comcast.net wrote: > Hit the after Thanksgiving sales this morning - got a Motorola > wireless hub and card for my notebook so I can get away from > being so wired all the time. > >>From what I've read I need to install ndiswrapper to get Linux > (Red Hat 9) to recognize the card.

The vast majority of newer (< 5 years old) computers are based on the i686. This includes the Pentium-III, Pentium-IV, Celeron and Xeon. Others are based on the Athlon (Athlon, AthlonXP, Atheros). 64-bit machines are typically based on the Athlon-64 (Opteron) or the x86-64 platform. "uname -m" will give you the baseline processor you're using. You still must determine if you're running SMP (multiple processors). For that, you can "cat /proc/cpuinfo". That lists all of the details of the processors the kernel saw when it came up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If this is the first day of the rest of my life... - - I'm in BIG trouble! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Nov 29 18:29:32 2004 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2004 10:29:32 -0800 Subject: Seagate STT3401A on FC2 In-Reply-To: <20041128202559.GA9844@bobcat.bobcatos.com> References: <1100971251.8622.12.camel@flclxserver> <20041120232139.GB24052@bobcat.bobcatos.com> <41A227B7.1090707@vitalstream.com> <20041122204128.GA13984@bobcat.bobcatos.com> <20041128202559.GA9844@bobcat.bobcatos.com> Message-ID: <41AB6A8C.1040303@vitalstream.com> Bob McClure Jr wrote: > On Mon, Nov 22, 2004 at 02:41:28PM -0600, Bob McClure Jr wrote: > >>On Mon, Nov 22, 2004 at 09:53:59AM -0800, Rick Stevens wrote: >> >>>Bob McClure Jr wrote: >>> >>>> >>>> >>>>Here's an interesting thing about my tape.

Gotta get that done on this one Real Soon Now. Interesting. Sounds like there's a glitch in the driver for the kernel you're running. Must leave a weird status flag set or something. BTW, running FC3 on ye ol' laptop now as a guinea pig. We'll see how it goes. Also running FC3 on a couple of servers with GFS. Seems to work pretty well so far. > Hope you had a happy turkey (day).

If you're running vsftpd, you can control the download speeds via the "anon_max_rate" and "local_max_rate" options in the /etc/vsftpd.conf file. By default, the values are set to 0 (unlimited), but you may have them set differently. Also check the FTP log file to see if anything untoward is going on. Also check your routing tables on the server ("netstat -rn") and verify that they're correct (especially the default gateway). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 bho at gmx.net Mon Nov 29 21:27:22 2004 From: bho at gmx.net (Benjamin Hornberger) Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2004 16:27:22 -0500 Subject: redhat-config-packages problem Message-ID: <6.1.2.0.2.20041129155148.027eb970@pop.gmx.net> Hi all, if I run redhat-config-packages on RHEL AS 3, it won't recognize my CDs. It will ask for a certain CD to install the packages from, but if I insert that CD, it doesn't like it (the CD is perfectly healthy). If I just insert CD 1 into the drive and accept to run the autorun script, a window will pop up which lets me install additional packages, and everything works fine. I looked at the autorun script, and it starts redhat-cdinstall-helper rather than redhat-config-packages. Any hints why redhat-config-packages doesn't work?

You change configurations in the samba server. The easiest way to do it is to use the "swat" GUI tool. > Question 2: > What will i configure/enable for my RH Linux 9.0 to play video CD like > WIndows Media Player? Yes and no. Windows media files requires Windows codecs. You can either fetch them off a Windows CD or google search for them. There are some free versions. > Question 3: > How do I make use of my CDRW on my Linux machine? Once you configure your CDRW into the kernel, whenever you pop a blank CD into the drive, a window will open that allows you to drop files onto it. Or you can master a CD and burn it. RH9 comes with two GUI CD mastering programs, xcdroast and gtoaster. You can also use those or a command-line program (cdrecord) to burn existing ISO images to CD or erase a CDRW. > Question 4: > I have configured SAMBA in workgroup settings and i've noticed that > when a Windows client access a shared folder in the linux machine, it > takes about 45 seconds to 1 minute for the "network Neighborhodd" to > display shared items in the Linux server. That's a normal Windows thing. Even pure Windows networks often take time to notice a new client or server on the network. > WHat will i do to improve the network shared resources browsing speed? Not much. The DC is responsible for setting up the browsing on the network. Once the server is up and noticed by the DC, browsing should be quite quick. It is the peering nature of Windows that causes this behaviour. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Memory is the second thing to go, but I can't remember the first! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From tonymoey at linuxmail.org Tue Nov 30 18:33:58 2004 From: tonymoey at linuxmail.org (moey tony) Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2004 02:33:58 +0800 Subject: Thanks Message-ID: <20041130183358.CFC2123EF6B@ws5-4.us4.outblaze.com> MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
