I would do the second one and see what happends after a long time of use. If all is ok, replace the cable, again wait a certain time aso.

If you have an older version of pine (how old I'm not sure), you may need: smtp-server=IP.Addr or system name inbox-path={IP.Addr or system name}/var/spool/mail/$USER (change $USER to your eaddr) folder-collections={IP...}/home/$USER/mail/[] (or leave blank to store email locally, which I don't advise) These options can be set by editing .pinerc in your home directory. >Pine is an mbox reader...it doesn't do POP or IMAP.

If it's firewalled and port 143 access is closed (WAN vs LAN), then you have to do what Rick says and use fetchmail so the mail is local. If you do that, you don't have to edit .pinerc.

It will use as many swap partitions as you have. It's not limited to one. If it's to late to re-partition, you can make a swap file and it will use that and the swap partition.

First install whatever windows you like ( Windows 2000 and Windows 98 , you have a boot menu don't you ? ) . Then make a clean install of Fedora Core 4 where ever you like it ( even Valhalla is good enough , for as long as you are not using any SCSI or SATA controller but even then things can be worked out. ) . At some point during the installation the installation proccess will ask you about where to place the boot loader . At that point ask it to place it at the MBR of the Primary Master hard disk At that very screen you should see grub providing two options one named Fedora Core 4 and the other one with the bogus name "DOS" . It will also ask you about the default OS to boot . What happens is this . Grub will replace the existing bootstrap loader with it's one code . That code will provide you with 2 options 1. This options will boot with the Fedora Core 4 system 2. DOS . This option will sent you to another menu which will let you choose between Windows 98 and Windows 2000 and you are done . Grub is totally unaware about NTLDR and will do nothing against it . > From what I've read, to do this I need to have /boot on the first disk, > hda. Yes , that's a perfect choise . Although i might be of error that is correct . I'd really rather not mix things up like this. Which mix you mean ? Mixing the place where Fedora Core 4 and Windows boot ?

From the PINE FAQ: 9.3 Can Pine be used with a POP server? Versions of PC-Pine prior to 4.00 cannot be used with a POP (Post Office Protocol) server. With Unix Pine, and with PC-Pine 4.00 and after, you can access a POP server in "online" mode. That is, Pine will start a POP3 session and keep it open until the mailbox is closed. Due to the nature of the POP3 protocol, Pine will not see any new mail which arrives during the POP3 session. Thus new mail only arrives upon starting a session. To access the message INBOX on a POP3 server, use the folder definition syntax: {pop3server/pop3}INBOX or, especially useful if your POP account user-id is different from the one in your Pine configuration: {pop3server/pop3/user=popuserid}INBOX where pop3server is the hostname of the POP3 server, and popuserid is your user-id for your POP account.

It can also only handle a maximum of 8 swap partitions, giving you a maximum of 16GB of swap. If you want 4GB of swap, then you need to set up 2 2GB partitions.

Red Hat 9 does not support SATA drives out of the box.

You're right. I had another machine that I installed FC4 to. I then pulled that disk and replaced the boot disk on my box with that. A clean start and all. By "mixing things up" I meant putting a Linux /boot onto my windows disk. I'm not worried about a bad interaction I just prefer to keep things separate. I do frequent disk upgrades and it's one less thing to deal with. I may end up installing GRUB onto the MBR of hda but for now I've installed it onto a floppy and I boot from that. Call me chicken if you will :-) I rarely boot anyway so it isn't really that big an issue. I'll just have to remember to update the grub.conf whenever I install a new kernel. rob From brad.mugleston at comcast.net Sun Dec 4 05:17:16 2005 From: brad.mugleston at comcast.net (brad.mugleston at comcast.net) Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2005 22:17:16 -0700 (MST) Subject: Wireless Help In-Reply-To: <20051203152352.1d6c330c.erdinc@prosoft.com.tr> References: <20051203152352.1d6c330c.erdinc@prosoft.com.tr> Message-ID: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi, > Type your pcmcia card's MAC address in to your AP webbased console wireless-security section and then.. > > su - > modprobe ndiswrapper > iwconfig wlan0 essid mode managed > ifconfig wlan0 netmask 255.255.255.0 > route add default gw > > If still your not able to connect to your AP check MAC address and security sections. > > - -- > Regards > Ali Erdin?

On boot was "NO" so I changed it to yes and it's now working. Also, I was able to set it up so DHCP works so I'm all set to go.

Assuming i want to burn on a dvd a directory called /home/root/sources then growisofs -R -J -Z /dev/scd0 /home/root/sources will do the work where -R mean the Rockridge extensions -J the Joliet extensions , Windows love these -Z specifies the device Well some can note here that -J ( the Joliet extensions ) are there usually for a DVD that needs to be read under Microsoft Windows , in which case the -R is also specified ( not that they are actually needed ) in order to avoid a warning from mkisofs that the non standard Joliet extensions have been specified whereas the Rockridge extensions haven't . I don't know which is the standard and which it isn't standard all i know though is that burning a DVD/ CD with only the -J option specified doesn't break anything But remember this will burn a DVD with some stable files , some *.tar.gz files not /var/log/messages a file that changes constantly .

You have to boot the CD and ghost it that way. We use this to clone systems all the time. Can you "snapshot" a system and burn it to CD? Sorta. You must keep in mind that you'll only see the stuff that's currently committed to disk at the time the file is read if you have files open for write (e.g. /var/log/messages, etc.)--anything that's still cached in "dirty" disk buffers will not be available. You can create the CD in a number of ways. The classic way is to create a cpio archive using "find", then burning the archive to CD or DVD. The command would appear sorta like: find / -depth -path /proc -prune -o ! -type b ! -type c ! \ -type s -exec cpio -O < {} >>/path/to/cpio/archive Conversely, you can use the output of find to create a list of files to back up and feed mkisofs or growisofs with that list: # find / -depth -path /proc -prune -o \ -path /tmp/flist.lst -prune -o ! -type b ! -type c \ ! -type s -print >>flist.lst # mkisofs -path-list /tmp/flist.lst Or use something like amanda to do backups to tape or another hard drive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Daddy, why doesn't this magnet pick up this floppy disk?" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Dec 5 23:33:00 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 05 Dec 2005 15:33:00 -0800 Subject: Problems with Apache 1.3.34 In-Reply-To: <001b01c5f9eb$7da0ad00$0100a8c0@faria> References: <001b01c5f9eb$7da0ad00$0100a8c0@faria> Message-ID: <1133825580.26927.256.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Mon, 2005-12-05 at 20:30 -0200, Rodrigo Faria Tavares wrote: > Hello, > > I installed the apache 1.3.34, in httpd.conf im make a rewrite rule > for a other machine, when I start apache, and > i open the browser come the message : > > You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Message-ID: Hello list, I want to install a Fedora Core 4 on a machine with Fedora Core 3, while keeping the FC3 and it's partitions on that machine. (There are things which I must be able to run on FC3 and not FC4, for various reasons). I have an empty, free partition for it. (/dev/hda3) I started the Fedora Core 4 installer. I had reached "Partitioning with Disk Druid" and choose the free partition (and defined / as a mounting point). Now, when I pressed OK it continued to the next dialogs. I assume that it will use the existing swap partition as a shared swap partition. But I **did not** defined a /boot partition. What will happen ? is it OK ? Will it destroy my FC3 /boot partition ?

After you have chrooted to /mnt/sysimage, edit /boot/grub/device.map to add the line (hd3) /dev/hdd assuming "hd3" is not mapped to some other device. Note that in grub.conf, numbering starts at 0, not 1. Then do the grub-install thing. If that doesn't work, you may need to tell us more about the drive and partitioning arrangement, and post grub.conf, if you can.

Good call. Ok, here's the problem. If all you've done is specify /dev/hda3 as "/" for FC4, the stuff that lives under / is PURE FC4. HOWEVER, "/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin", and "/var" are generally already defined as other filesystems on other partitions and will be overwritten by FC4's files. The only way you can really run FC4 and FC3 in parallel is to divvy up the space you have as /dev/hda3 in to multiple partitions, name them such (e.g. "/usrfc4" and such) and install to those. Linux isn't like Windows, where everything is in "c:\". What I'm trying to say here is, what you want to do is doable, but not in the way you're trying to do it and you're going to shoot yourself in the foot if you continue. If you can give us details (such as the amount of free space on your hard drive, we can offer some help I'm out on a business trip right now, but I'll be back in more comfortable environs Monday or Tuesday and be in a better position to help.

I added a VideoRam line to xorg.conf, restarted X, and viola!, all of the supported modes appeared.

But as we try to boot off the CD, it hangs with following error. isolinux image checksum error, sorry Boot failed: press a key to retry.

Hmm. I dunno. If you have another machine on your local net, maybe you could start up networking during the rescue startup, then chroot to /mnt/sysimage, and then you could scp (secure cp using SSH) the info to another machine. > I have both put old and new hard drives on the one ribbon, but by my > understanding that doesn't add up with the name /hdd, so I'd like to find > out for sure. That's correct. Here's how the labeling goes: Controller Drive Device Grub map --------- ----- ------ -------- Primary Master /dev/hda (hd0) Primary Slave /dev/hdb (hd1) Secondary Master /dev/hdc (hd2) Secondary Slave /dev/hdd (hd3) I might also mention that, in general, jumpering drives as Cable Select (CS) is evil.

That's odd if you're certain that the new drive is on the cable to the primary controller. I'd be interested in how the BIOS reports the drives during POST (power-on self test, i.e. boot). I also wonder why it lists /dev/hdd5 as unknown. What is your root partition? But if "linux rescue" mounts it without carps, I'd run "mount" or "df" before doing the chroot, to see what is where. > cheers, > grant Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. robertmcclure at earthlink.net http://www.bobcatos.com Peace at any price is inflationary.

I Googled for "grub loading error 21" and it led me to this http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2003-02/msg00078.html Go to the third posting in that thread http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2003-02/msg00082.html for his solution. I don't know how it fixes things or if it's relevant, but he had to turn on auto-detect in his BIOS. One other thing I noticed in his grub.conf was a line like this: title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/1 initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img You probably have "root=LABEL=/" or something like that. That's another evil - partition labeling for dummies. I'd change the "LABEL=" to /dev/hdd5 or whatever it really is. It's the partition that mounts on /. It may work on a first-time installation, but the next time you add a disk drive from another machine, GRUB will become very confused with filesystems from each disk that both have the same label.

That was bad. System wouldn't boot and didn't even let me back into the BIOS. However, some kind of time-out happened and the clouds rolled away. So then I tried to set my second Secondary Drive to auto-detect (it was also set to "OFF") and now error 21 has gone away. I'm getting a GNU GRUB version 0.95 command prompt. I think that it's an improvement.

Just a brief note to say "thanks for all your help!". I have FC4 running now!! I dismantled the PC again today, and found that I had NOT put the new drive on the same ribbon as the existing drive as I claimed yesterday, but on the same ribbon as the CD-drive. I checked my original hard-drive and found it was jumpered for "cable select", so I re-jumpered it as master and put the new drive (as slave) onto the same ribbon. Going through the FC install again, my drives were /hda and /hdb. Yay! After complete re-install, I was back to error 21 again, but some hints you gave yesterday did the trick for me this time around. So now we're all go! Thanks again, Grant PS: I think you were also right about me mistyping "rescue" .

Well, I haven't walked into any walls yet so I guess I'm awake. Semi- somnambulant, at least. > I thought you were illustrating your point. :-) Heheheh! I could have been. I was hitting the wrong keys on the keyboard for a few minutes today. I spent four glorious days in D.C. (Wednesday through Sunday). I flew back Sunday morning, arrived in Long Beach at 10:00 a.m., then had to attend a family function at 12:30 p.m. When I hit the sack last night at 9:00 p.m. PST, I had only had 8 hours of sleep in the previous three days. Then I got woken up by no less than five cell phone calls before 12:00 midnight relating to the project in D.C. and three of them here in L.A., so yeah, I'm pretty wiped out.

Uhm, no. That's a CIDR notation (the basic network, slash, number of consecutive 1 bits in the netmask). For example, if you had a network of 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.0.255, you might write that as "192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0". The CIDR notation would be "192.168.0.0/24" (meaning that there's 24 consecutive 1 bits in the netmask). If you have just two client machines, it'd be better to add each one as a separate line...CIDR notation admits subnets, not individual machines. Using the above network as an example, to admit two client machines, you'd add lines like: -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.0.35 --dport 5500:5540 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.0.36 --dport 5500:5540 -j ACCEPT which would only allow incoming Oracle connections from the .35 and .36 machines (no "/xx" value indicates that you're specifying an entire IP address, not a network). You don't need to include the SERVER in these rules, only the machines that are trying to connect TO the server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - A day for firm decisions!!!

No, you've not done anything wrong, but the "kernel-devel RPM" for FC4 only includes the kernel headers and such...it does NOT include the kernel source code. Here's what you have to do. 1. Go to one of the mirror sites and download the kernel source RPM. For example, for the currently released kernel, you can enter this into your browser: ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/4/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4.src.rpm Save the file somewhere. 2. Install the source rpm: # cd /dir/where/you/saved/the/.src.rpm # rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4.src.rpm 3. Do the preliminary build: # cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS # rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec This does the preliminary build of the kernel source tree and creates what used to be distributed as the "kernel-source RPM". 4. Move the kernel source into the normal build tree: # cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.14 # mv linux-2.6.14 /usr/src/linux-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 # cd /usr/src # rm -f linux;ln -s linux-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 linux # rm -f linux-2.6;ln -s linux-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 linux-2.6 5. You can now configure the kernel normally: # cd /usr/src/linux # make xconfig -OR- # make menuconfig 6.

It's worth seeing if you can get a boot configuration running on it. Boot your first CD to rescue mode (enter "linux rescue" at the boot: prompt). Let it mount your system on /mnt/sysimage, and then chroot /mnt/sysimage cat /boot/grub/grub.conf If it looks like a reasonable config file, then grub-install /dev/hda exit exit # yeah, twice. Pop out the CD and see if it boots properly. This all assumes a pretty ordinary installation. If you are dual booting, or using a different boot drive, you need to clue us in, especially on the the partition table.

Have you checked your temp directories? Also look at /var/log, etc., for stuff over there. If you've been running the server for a while then the log files could be taking up more space than you think.

The cited page seems to be about dialing into an ISP while I'm trying to receive calls. It also seems strange to me that the password is kept in plain text. I read somewhere that there is a way to get it to use the shadow password file. What I'd like is for any user who has a shell account to be able to dial in and set up a PPP connection using the same username and password they do for shell access. Thanks for the comments!

It's worth seeing if you can get a boot configuration running on it. Boot your first CD to rescue mode (enter "linux rescue" at the boot: prompt). Let it mount your system on /mnt/sysimage, and then chroot /mnt/sysimage cat /boot/grub/grub.conf If it looks like a reasonable config file, then grub-install /dev/hda exit exit # yeah, twice. Pop out the CD and see if it boots properly. This all assumes a pretty ordinary installation. If you are dual booting, or using a different boot drive, you need to clue us in, especially on the the partition table.

Remember that reclaimed space may not show up in a "du -h" command until ALL programs using that directory terminate or close their open file handles to that filesystem. The surest way of doing that is to reboot or do use "lsof" or "fuser" to identify processes with open file descriptors on the filesystem in question and shutting down those processes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Batteries not included.

Having / on a fixed size filesystem isn't generally a problem. I might even say /usr is also OK, unless you like to add lots of new software. That being said however, /home on a multiuser system will rapidly fill up and having it on LVM so you can grow it on the fly is a "good thing". Also, depending on what your system is doing and how careful you are about tracking things, /var (as in /var/log) on an LVM volume can also be useful--logs can grow to be huge farking things. Again, it rather depends on what you're planning to have the system do. For the vast majority of home users, LVM is nice but not really necessary. On large multipurpose server systems, LVM is almost mandatory! > Greetings from Holland!!! ;) And greetings to you as well, from La-La-Land (California)! > On Dec 19, 2005 05:33 PM, Mark McCulligh wrote: > > > Hi Group, > > > > I am building a server using Software Raid and plan to setup LVM > > (Logical Volume Manager) on the Raid and have a question.

My grandma always used to knit me socks - every year a little bit bigger - that's Logical Volume Management. Wierd example but it is the best I can com up with at almost 23:30.

Yes, it's an open web server (and meant to be). I guess I need to dig through httpd.conf and related files to see where one turns off mod_proxy... Any hints? By the way, on my other project for this week, I'm STILL having trouble with pap authentication on mgetty+sendfax and pppd. The logs indicate pppd can't find a pap secret for the user logging in. I've TRIED to tell it to use the shadow password file, but haven't gotten it to work yet. None of the tutorials I've found seem to deal with the system as distributed in FC4. THANKS to all!

You have got to start reading the man pages, Rod. For example, the man page for logrotate tells you that if "compress" is in the /etc/logrotate.conf file, then old log files are compressed by gzip by default. If you edit /etc/logrotate.conf, you'll see that "compress" is commented out. Change the line: #compress to compress and the rotated logs will be compressed. If you'd rather compress using something like bzips, then add the line: compresscmd bzip2 after it, e.g. compress compresscmd bzip2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Veni, Vidi, VISA: I came, I saw, I did a little shopping. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From juan at uwtcallback.com Wed Dec 21 19:30:47 2005 From: juan at uwtcallback.com (Juan) Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2005 14:30:47 -0500 Subject: Automated boot Message-ID: <200512211932.jBLJWFM2017906@mx1.redhat.com> I installed a SIP server on a FC4 box.

Unless you have a password set in grub, FC4 will load and run. If you're referring to the GUI login screen, that's a USER login and TOTALLY different than saying FC4 hasn't loaded.

You can give it a bunch of different options to restrict its listing or pipe it to grep and look for things. "fuser" shows which users have a specific file or network socket open (handy for finding backdoor worms and such when you think "ps" has been compromised...most rootkits don't screw with fuser). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - I don't suffer from insanity...I enjoy every minute of it! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From karlp at ourldsfamily.com Thu Dec 22 17:21:16 2005 From: karlp at ourldsfamily.com (karlp at ourldsfamily.com) Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 10:21:16 -0700 (MST) Subject: Trash In-Reply-To: References: <5bdc1c8b0512171545j105e402awd1dc7caf2733f7bb@mail.gmail.com> <5bdc1c8b0512172136h2e32f1f5v5a72a0c23fc31923@mail.gmail.com> <1135015565.27452.255.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> Message-ID: <35593.207.173.117.242.1135272076.squirrel@ourldsfamily.com> On Wed, December 21, 2005 10:37 pm, brad.mugleston at comcast.net said: >> >> Remember that reclaimed space may not show up in a "du -h" command >> until ALL programs using that directory terminate or close their open >> file handles to that filesystem.

Am I > wrong (again, still, some more)? sync flushes "dirty" buffers to disk, thereby making the disk inodes match the in-memory cache and setting the cache buffers to "clean", but it won't necessarily update the disk stats if the directory that was cleaned up is still held open by a process. The process still has a concept of what its filesystem looks like, and since the sync was done outside its process space, it won't be aware of the change until the file or directory is closed and reopened and its inode list is updated. sync will work in some cases (e.g. programs that really understand what multitasking is all about), but the vast majority of programs are not written that way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 bret_stern at machinemanagement.com Thu Dec 22 22:09:09 2005 From: bret_stern at machinemanagement.com (Bret Stern) Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 14:09:09 -0800 Subject: Swap file Message-ID: <000001c60744$55b05d70$2701a8c0@mmbret> Perhaps the wrong place for this post.

Oh, THAT kind of swap file. You can use "vi -r name-of-file" to recover the broken edit, or look for a file named ".name-of-file.swp" in the same directory where you launched "vi" from originally and delete it. Note that you'll need to use "ls -a" to see files that start with a dot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From redhat-install-list at hyperbole-software.com Thu Dec 22 22:36:17 2005 From: redhat-install-list at hyperbole-software.com (Carl Reynolds) Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 17:36:17 -0500 Subject: Swap file In-Reply-To: <000001c60744$55b05d70$2701a8c0@mmbret> References: <000001c60744$55b05d70$2701a8c0@mmbret> Message-ID: <43AB2A61.7090502@hyperbole-software.com> Bret Stern wrote: >How/where do I remove a swap file? > >A network error occurred during a remote login >while vi (editing) a perl script. > > > I assume you mean a .*.swp file as created by vi. The first thing to do is to edit the original file with the -r option vi -r file This will construct a new file with any changes you may have lost in the crash. Save this as file.save and leave vi. Now run diff file file.save to make sure the new file hasn't lost anything information or been corrupted in some way. Either remove the new file or remove the old file and rename the new file. Now you can type rm .file.swp to remove the recovery file that vi created. Carl.

I think I left one small but important part out - the system crashes with as soon as I log in (which may be the cause for the network not showing up). After sleeping on it I think what I need to do is disable ssh for now so I can at least log in and get going - maybe get connected for some updates. I can log in under as slightly disabled login (forget right now what it's called). Can you advise how to shut down ssh for now, if you think that would solve my current problem.

I run Red Hat to push my brain. I don't use it anywhere but here at home and I'm loving it. My son asked why I run Linux on my computer and I told him because it's a challenge - he just looked at me like I was nuts (he's only 14 and doesn't realize that I really am nuts). You have taught me a lot about operating systems which does in a round about way help at work (I'm always the one that ends up dealing with the systems people as I at least understand some of what they say). Everyone have a safe holiday season and a great new year.

I don't think you want to remove that. I think that's the journal for the ext3 / filesystem.

Now down to business - To catch everyone up. Wanted to upgrade my notebook to FC4 from FC2. The upgrade didn't work so I formated and did a fresh install of FC4. As it has a wireless card I needed to install NdisWrapper (or I think I do) to get it running, note I did find a sys file on the Linksys web site for this card and it said it was for FC3 - if this would work without NdisWrapper can someone direct me as to how to install it? Back to NdisWrapper - it needs the source code for the current kernel - in the past I've just downloaded it as an RPM and followed the instructions. This time strangeness happened. The instructions say to link the source to the module directory with the following command ln -s /usr/src/linux- /lib/modules/VERSION/build I did that replacing "linux-" and "VERSION" with the proper (I believe) wording and got the error that the link was already there. Asuming that it was from the source install I tried to go on with the NdisWrapper install and got the error that the link was to the wrong version (which looking at it, it was - how that happened I have no idea). I deleted the link and tried to redo it and get an error - any suggestions on how to procede. I'm thinking the instructions are for an older version of FC.

Message-ID: The /.journal file is created when the _existing_ EXT2 filesystem is converted to EXT3 filesystem. That file contains the filesystem journal used by EXT3. The file is only created during the conversion EXT2->EXT3 because it is impossible to create separate region on the existing EXT2 filesystem for the journal - therefore, the journal is placed in the file /.journal (which is similar to regular files but is unremovable under EXT3). When the EXT3 filesystem is created anew, the journal is placed on disk separately from the space used for files' data, so there is no need to reserve that space via special file entry.

Sorry, I tuned in late on this one. /lib/libcrypto.so.5 is a symlink to /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7f and comes from the openssl-0.9.7f RPM. ssh-agent isn't required to run on your system unless you want to, for example, run X remotely and not go through the initial ssh login. I typically don't run it as my machines' iptables only allow ssh connections in, so I have to "ssh -X" first, THEN run whatever X client I want. You should make sure you have the openssl-0.9.f RPM installed. IIRC, FC4 comes with both the older openssl097a-0.9.7a-3.i386.rpm and two versions of the 0.9.f version--one for 386 and one for 686. It looks like one of the 0.9.f RPMs didn't get installed for some reason. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Millihelen, adj: The amount of beauty required to launch one ship. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Dec 27 18:04:02 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2005 10:04:02 -0800 Subject: What is /.journal?

Perfect answer, Alexey. That is correct. If you convert an ext2 to an ext3 filesystem, the system must put the journal somewhere, so it creates a ".journal" file in the root of the filesystem and puts the journal there. A freshly created ext3 filesystem reserves space OUTSIDE the namespace for the journal, hence it doesn't show up in a directory listing. It is important that you NOT delete the ".journal" file (permissions are set so it's difficult to do anyway), because if you do, you will cease to have an ext3 filesystem and you may even have issues mounting it since the ext3 module wants a journal and won't be able to find it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If Windows isn't a virus, then it sure as hell is a carrier! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue Dec 27 18:47:59 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2005 10:47:59 -0800 Subject: Wireless Help In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1135709279.7188.1.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Mon, 2005-12-26 at 12:11 -0700, brad.mugleston at comcast.net wrote: > Merry Day after Christmas - hope everyone had a good holiday. > > Now down to business - To catch everyone up. > > Wanted to upgrade my notebook to FC4 from FC2.

Hi, Brad. ndiswrapper uses the Windows drivers (the .inf and .sys files), so any reference to a ".sys" file that's appropriate for FC3 is kinda misleading--the .sys file is the Windows driver. Now, as to kernel source code. Make sure you do a "yum install kernel-devel". This will install the kernel headers and such needed to build most drivers. NOTE: This is NOT the kernel source code. For that, you need to do a bit more (details later). Since you just did an FC4 install, I HIGHLY recommend you perform the following actions first: # yum -y update (reboot to the new kernel when that's done) # yum -y install kernel-devel Ok, you should have enough to build ndiswrapper at this point. Go into your ndiswrapper build directory and do "make" and "make install". Go fetch the .inf and .sys files from your Windows CD for the card and put them in a directory somewhere (I typically use /usr/local/WinDrv), then "ndiswrapper -i /path/to/windows/.inf/file" to install the Windows driver. Set up your alias in /etc/modprobe.conf: alias wlan0 ndiswrapper and "modprobe ndiswrapper" to bring it up. ---- CLIP HERE FOR USEFUL INFO ON GETTING THE FULL KERNEL SOURCE ---- Now, regarding kernel source: As I said, FC4 doesn't have anything akin to the old "kernel-source" RPM from the good old kernel 2.4 days. You have to do it manually. Here's what I do: 1. You have to go to a Fedora mirror somewhere and get the "kernel-(version).src.rpm". My favorite mirror would be: ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/4/SRPMS >From there, download the source RPM for the kernel you're interested in and save it somewhere. 2. Go to your download directory and install the source RPM: rpm -ivh kernel-(version).src.rpm 3. Now you get to build the kernel source. Change directory to the "SPECS" directory in the source RPM build tree: # cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS Now you have to choose a direction to go. You now configure the source for your type of CPU and such. Execute one of the following commands: # rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec # rpmbuild -bp --target=x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec (you get the idea...use "--target=your-cpu-of-choice") The system will now go through a bunch of gyrations, unpacking source, doing patches and the like. When it's done, you have what was essentially the old "kernel-source" contents, but it's in a different directory and there's two versions...the "red hat" version and a "vanilla" version. 4. Copy the kernel source to your /usr/src directory: # cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.(majvers) # mv linux-2.6.(majvers) /usr/src/linux-2.6.(majvers.patch) Note that "(majvers)" will only contain the major version number (e.g "2.6.14", whereas "(majvers.patch)" should be the major version and whatever patch level you're working with (e.g. "2.6.14-1.1653_FC4"). 5. You can now "cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.(majvers.patch)" and build away. Ok, examples are always nice, so here's how I did the latest FC4 kernel: # mkdir /usr/xxx # cd /usr/xxx # ftp ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/4/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4.src.rpm # rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4.src.rpm # cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS # rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec # cd ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.14 # mv linux-2.6.14 /usr/src/linux-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 (the next two are optional...) # rm -f linux linux-2.6;ln -s linux-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 linux # ln -s linux-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 linux-2.6 >From there, "cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.14-1.1653_FC4" and "make xconfig" to configure your kernel. Ta dah! Sure hope that helps. ---- END CLIP -- SAVE YOUR COUPONS FOR GREAT DISCOUNTS!

Well i mean all my filesystems > are ext3 ones but a /.journal file is nowhere to be found No. If you create an ext3 filesystem from scratch ("mke2fs -j"), space is reserved for the journal that is NOT part of the filesystem's namespace, so you'll never see the journal. If you CONVERT an ext2 to an ext3 ("tune2fs -j"), there is no uncommitted space to put the journal into, so tune2fs creates a ".journal" file in the root of the filesystem and gives it permissions that make it difficult to delete. This is typically the "i" attribute. See "man chattr" for details on the "i" (immutable) attribute. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Wed Dec 28 01:46:30 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2005 17:46:30 -0800 Subject: What is /.journal?

I know it has something to do > with enabling the filessytem to recover. The journal contains the actions necessary to make the disk image of a filesystem current with what is in memory. For example, if you write a file, the journal will have the raw data and what actions to take. Once the files have been adjusted on disk and the bitmap of the disk is correct, the journal is purged. Why does this work? Manipulating the files on disk takes longer than writing a stream of operations to a linear file. If the system dies before the on-disk images are updated, then the journal can be "replayed" to bring it up to snuff. Think of it like the ".filename.swp" file created by vi. It records your keystrokes and such in that file. If your vi session dies, you can "vi -r filename", vi replays the keystrokes in the .swp file and your edits are magically restored. > Also, sometimes when/if my system with ext3 filesystems crashes when i > restart the system asks if I want to run "fsck". Is it a good idea to > run fsck or can I skip that step on an ext3 filesystem ? The system should say "recovering journal". If it does and the filesystem comes up, you don't need to do an fsck. If the filesystem won't come up (fairly rare, but it does happen), then you have to do an fsck. The odds are that you'll lose some data in that case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Microsoft Windows: Proof that P.T.

Windoze is known to change things while downloading it. For instance, it might have downloaded it in text mode and interpreted some of the bytes as newlines that had to be converted. Or it might have gunzipped it during the download but not changed the filename. The way to see what the file really is, is to file something.tar.gz If it thinks it's really a plain tar file, then just rename it to something.tar and carry on. If it thinks it's a gzipped file then it's probably corrupted. If you download it again with Windoze, make sure you do a binary download, not ascii. Or better yet, if you have the URL, either http://mumble/path/to/something.tar.gz, or ftp://mumble/path/to/something.tar.gz, you can very easily download it in linux: wget ftp://mumble/path/to/something.tar.gz If I missed some other possibilities, let us know.

The wired LAN still works, so I have net access on the machine. How do I go back to a previous version of the kernel? RH8 used to ask me during boot which version I wanted to boot. My installation of FC4 doesn't do this. Is there some file I can edit to tell it to use a previous version (if it's still there) or a way to re-install the previous version? THANKS!

The way that works, when the GRUB screen comes up, it says something about booting kernel- in N seconds. The timeout is five seconds. If you hit any key during that countdown, you will get the normal GRUB menu with the choice of however many kernels you have. > Is there some file I can edit to tell it to use a previous > version (if it's still there) or a way to re-install the previous version? To go back to the usual GRUB menu, change this in /boot/grub/grub.conf: timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu to timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz # hiddenmenu If you want the older kernel by default, change the "default" argument. The kernel stanzas in grub.conf are numbered from 0, so you probably want to change default=0 to default=1 > > THANKS! > > Harold Happy New Year, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. robertmcclure at earthlink.net http://www.bobcatos.com Peace begins not at a Mideast table, but at a Mideast stable
