I'm looking at a CD right now and in the ICON view above each file name is a small view of the picture. If I do the same thing with the drive the pictures are saved to I don't see the preview of the picture but an ICON of two mountains or something with the word JPG over the top. I want to change the ICON view to show a preview of what the photo is. Took over 200 photos and without having to open each one I'd like to know what they are as even using a long name discription will not really tell me which picture is which. I just can not figure out what the difference in the setup is between the ICON view of the CD and a drive.

Have you considered what you're looking at? Looking at the icon view of a CD implies that the CD is mounted somewhere (probably via the automounter) and you're looking at a directory via the filesystem. Looking at the icon view of a drive infers you're looking at something in /dev (e.g. a raw device) and that's not the same as a filesystem- aware mountpoint. If you mounted the drive, are you sure you're looking at it's mountpoint and not the device (e.g. "/dev/hdd"). Then again, I may have misunderstood you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Hello.

If you are using nautilus try choosing from the menu Edit->Preferences. Look under the preview tab to check your thumbnail settings. Not knowing what you are using to view the files and not knowing what version of the OS/Desktop you are using makes us do a lot of guessing.

Let it do so. If you have more than one, it will ask which you want. Otherwise it will inform you that the (selected) system has been mounted on /mnt/sysimage and leave you at a shell prompt. Then you (assuming your boot drive is /dev/sda) chroot /mnt/sysimage grub-install /dev/sda exit exit Yes, exit twice - once from the chroot and once from the shell and it will reboot. Pop out the CD and you should get the GRUB screen. Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. robertmcclure at earthlink.net http://www.bobcatos.com Peace at any price is inflationary.

Boot off the FC3 rescue CD in rescue mode. Then: # chroot /mnt/sysimage # cd /boot # grub-install /dev/hda # exit # exit (yes, two "exit"s...the first exits the chroot environment, the second reboots the system).

God, what a mess. I just run at runlevel 3 now, but one would think that a fresh install would actually work. It's idiotic. One other thing (here is where I was an idiot): I installed (not updated) the newer kernel packages hoping that the issue would get fixed. Nope. Separately, I figured out that the whole kernel 2.6.9-22.x series is a piece of junk. Reverting to 2.6.9.11 on all the older servers fixed a whole bunch of problems with responsiveness, higher loads, and load spikes. But since I installed the rpms for the kernel packages, it deleted the old ones, and the old files. And since I'm a paying customer, I'm not allowed access to the older version of the kernel packages. Again, since I pay, I can't make the server work. Alternatively: a free version of Linux would be more easily self supported. I half to wait another day to call and see if they will help. What has happened to quality control lately?

When the machine boots, you should see a message that says: Press for Setup or Press for Setup Whatever it says, press that key when the message appears. You only have a window of a few seconds in which to do that. Once you're in the BIOS, go to your Drives section and make sure that both of your SATA drives are on. Also, in the Drives section, go to the 'SATA Operation' option and choose 'RAID Autodetect/ATA' instead of 'RAID ON'. At least, that was my problem. You may have to play around with this (however, if you do, take note of what the original BIOS settings were). Your BIOS configuration may be different but on the Dell Workstation 370, those are the options you would see. I don't know about the Dell Dimension.

If the destination is NATted, you can't. You have no idea what its real IP is, and you don't have a gateway to that network anyway.

Have you tried installing in text mode and checking the output on the other three consoles (ALT-F2, ALT-F3, ALT-F4) to see if there's something displayed there that might give a clue? You didn't say if the CD was IDE or not (it may well be). If that's the case, you might also try installing with DMA disabled for the IDE bus: boot: linux ide=nodma and see if that helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - 500: Internal Fortune Cookie Error - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From hemzet at gmx.net Wed Nov 9 18:12:01 2005 From: hemzet at gmx.net (Oliver) Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2005 19:12:01 +0100 Subject: RHEL4 and AIC7899 In-Reply-To: <1131555923.22937.55.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> References: <8868.194.127.8.18.1131534177.squirrel@194.127.8.18> <1131553712.22937.35.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> <20169.194.127.8.18.1131554899.squirrel@194.127.8.18> <1131555923.22937.55.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> Message-ID: <632857917.20051109191201@gmx.net> >> >> during the first boot from the install CD of RHEL4AS, die system hangs >> >> while trying the module aic7xxx.

I had started the installation with the option 'text'. The output of console three was s.th. like "4> probing aic7xxx". Will give you the correct data also on saturday.

I'd be typing and some weird selection would happen. It turned out my thumb was forever barely touching the touchpad and the system was reacting to that. The Compaq had a button near the touch pad to disable the pad completely. Once turned off I had no problems. It was a nice feature as every once in awhile I'd find I needed it for something and I could just turn it on. I've had the mouse drifting problem, but only on my Mac Mini and only from the Might Mouse I bought from Apple. I returned it and, sacrilegiously, use my old M$ Optical Mouse on the Mac now. It works great.

I've bought several laptops for sales folks in the company I work for and have noticed that they now have a very annoying 'feature' on the touchpad: the bottom and right edges are used for 'special' functions, like double clicking, click and hold, etc. If you think the strange behavior is happening when using the touch pad in an area other than those 'special' areas, then I don't know. I'm thinking of a problem I had when using a laptop with a touchpad. I found the thing doing strange things and figured out it was a brush with a finger or sleeve while I was typing that caused the problem. Just a couple thoughts.

Uhm, I've seen some interaction between gpm and X on occasion, however I've most often seen that because of a loose connection on the mouse or a dirty mouse ball or rollers.

That's usually caused by having the touchpad's sensitivity set too high (so a thump on the keyboard is misinterpreted as a click on the pad). I'm not sure how to turn that off. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - NEWS FLASH!

Or, use "up2date -k /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS" and do it that way.

Are you sure you have enough disk space for the packages that are downloaded? IIRC, the dependencies are resolved before the download occurs, so you may be out of space. If so, add "--tmpdir=/some/path" where "/some/path" points to a directory on a filesystem with adequate space. These are just ideas...I don't use up2date often. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 aubreys_key at yahoo.com Thu Nov 10 21:47:50 2005 From: aubreys_key at yahoo.com (Aubrey Barnard) Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2005 13:47:50 -0800 (PST) Subject: Eratic Cursor Behavior In-Reply-To: <20051110170110.D6A4B73589@hormel.redhat.com> Message-ID: <20051110214750.85575.qmail@web36506.mail.mud.yahoo.com> > > From: "Harold Hallikainen" > To: "Getting started with Red Hat Linux" > > Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2005 13:30:44 -0800 (PST) > Subject: Re: Eratic Cursor Behavior > > > >> -----Original Message----- > >> From: karlp at ourldsfamily.com [mailto:karlp at ourldsfamily.com] > >> Sent: Wednesday, November 9, 2005 09:15 PM > >> To: redhat-install-list at redhat.com > >> Subject: Eratic Cursor Behavior > >> > >> FC4 > >> KDE > >> > >> Occasionally, and I can't replicate it so know this is a stretch to > >> ask..., when I am using my mouse to raise windows (mouseover mode, > not > >> click), or even when playing a game, any game, the cursor will > disappear > >> from before my eyes and appear in a corner of the screen.

The touchpad generates events that I did not knowingly cause. I have only seen this happen when running Firefox, and Firefox turns it into a request to go back a page. This problem is not specific to any location on the touchpad, and it doesn't just happen when the finger is lifted or applied (which is when mistaken clicks often happen). What I don't understand is how Firefox interprets this as a request to go back a page, when a regular single- or double-click would not result in that behavior. The context menu contains a command to go back a page, but I don't know how the left-click-based touchpad would trigger that command. I am using FC4 on a Dell Inspiron 5000e laptop. It has a Synaptics touchpad which seems to work just fine for everything else. I would guess this is a problem with Firefox, but since the laptop is not my main machine (I set it up for my parents.), I did not pursue it (e.g. bug report, forum/list submission). My solution was to use a USB mouse, which my parents preferred anyway. I hope this thread exhibits the critical mass needed to get this problem investigated. Perhaps restricting the touchpad to cursor movement only (no clicking ability) would prevent this problem. Aubrey Barnard __________________________________ Yahoo!

I can do /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper and get the driver installed I can then run /sbin/wlan0 scan and see networks that are running. I can also run Applications/Internet/kWifiManager and scan for networks. With my old D-Link card, I used Desktop/SystemSettings/Network to enable the card and have it do a dhcp query on startup. The D-Link card was assigned an eth number. The internal card (with ndiswrapper) is getting a wlan nunber, which does not show up in Desktop/SystemSettings/Network. So, what do I do to get the internal card to start working on bootup (getting an IP address, etc.)? Also, can the system be configured to use whatever network it finds, including my WEP encrypted network at home or any other non-encrypted network without my having to tell it which to use? Finally, can it do another DHCP request when it loses one network and finds another? THANKS!!!!

They're all compatible. You didn't configure Horde correctly. Check horde/conf/horde.php and verify you have stuff such as: --------------------- CUT HERE -------------------------------- // Should Horde log errors and other useful information? //$conf['log']['enabled'] = false; $conf['log']['enabled'] = true; // What log driver should we use? Valid values are 'file', 'mcal', // 'sql', and 'syslog'. $conf['log']['type'] = 'file'; // What is the name of the log? For the 'file' driver, this is the // path to a text file; for mcal, it would be the name of a calendar, // and for sql it would be the table name to use. For the 'syslog' // driver it is the facility as a _constant_ (with no quotes), e.g.: // ... = LOG_LOCAL0; $conf['log']['name'] = '/var/log/horde.log'; --------------------- CUT HERE -------------------------------- NOTE: That's for an older Horde version (2.1 I think), but newer ones have stuff similar. I like Horde/IMP/Turba/Kronolith (we use them for our webmail system). However, you could just install squirrelmail on FC4.

Well, not really. You can set up a couple of network profiles and select one to run at any given time. For example, you could create one that specifies wlan0 using an unencrypted wireless connection and DHCP, another one that has wlan0 using WEP-enabled wireless, yet another that uses eth0 instead and so on. You'd activate one of the profiles by using "Main Menu => System Tools => Network Device Control" or by using the command line: system-config-network-cmd --profile --activate Note that the system ALWAYS brings up the profile in "common" at boot time, so put your most commonly used profile in there. See the help menu when you run "Main Menu => System Tools => Network Device Control" for more information. As to getting a new DHCP if the network goes away, take a look at netplugd. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 harold at hallikainen.com Sat Nov 12 04:16:36 2005 From: harold at hallikainen.com (Harold Hallikainen) Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2005 20:16:36 -0800 (PST) Subject: ndiswrapper problem In-Reply-To: <1131746854.22937.248.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> References: <53013.192.168.1.1.1131241176.squirrel@sujan.hallikainen.org> <200511060725.37495.tpotter@techmarin.com> <4336.192.168.1.1.1131317582.squirrel@sujan.hallikainen.org> <64574.207.177.227.29.1131740201.squirrel@sujan.hallikainen.org> <1131746854.22937.248.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> Message-ID: <50742.192.168.1.1.1131768996.squirrel@sujan.hallikainen.org> > On Fri, 2005-11-11 at 12:16 -0800, Harold Hallikainen wrote: >> THANKS to this list, it looks like I've pretty much got ndiswrapper >> working with the built in wireless on my new HP Pavilion zv6000 with >> FC4-64.

It works! The only remaining wlan problem is netplugd. If I try to start it from desktop/systemsettings/serversettings/services, I get an error.

I'll have to see how it behaves with wlans dropping in and out. Another problem... Using "Main Menu => System Tools => Network Device Control", I am able to set up device wlan0. I set this up for home with an encryption key and it worked great. I then created a new device for unencrypted access points. It was assigned to wlan0:1. This would not activate. I'm sitting in a coffee place right now with open wifi and erased the encryption key from device wlan0 and it activated fine. It SEEMS that there's a problem with having multiple "devices" on the ndiswrapper. wlan0 seems to work, but wlan0:1 does not. I'll mess with it some more, but any ideas appreciated! THANKS!

I'm guessing you're running /sbin/netplugd as the root user. If you run it from the GUI, you'd run it as whoever you're logged in as and netplugd needs to run by root to create the netlink socket it needs. It's intended to be run via the /etc/rc.d/rcX.d mechanism. To manually run it, use (as root), "service netplugd start". To have it come up at boot time, try (as root) "chkconfig --level 2345 netplugd on". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Heisenberg _may_ have slept here - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Nov 14 17:22:27 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2005 09:22:27 -0800 Subject: RHEL4 and AIC7899 In-Reply-To: <1977968372.20051112192816@gmx.net> References: <8868.194.127.8.18.1131534177.squirrel@194.127.8.18> <1131553712.22937.35.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> <20169.194.127.8.18.1131554899.squirrel@194.127.8.18> <1131555923.22937.55.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> <1171700691.20051112142115@gmx.net> <1977968372.20051112192816@gmx.net> Message-ID: <1131988947.13345.50.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Sat, 2005-11-12 at 19:28 +0100, Oliver wrote: > >>> >> during the first boot from the install CD of RHEL4AS, die system hangs > >>> >> while trying the module aic7xxx.

Encryption keys and such set up the physical link between your wifi and the access point you're using. wlan0 is the baseline NIC. wlan0:1 relies on wlan0 running to do its thing. Since wlan0 is expecting an ESSID and WEP key to link (and it's not getting it), wlan0:1 won't come up. You need separate configs for each type of link you expect wlan0 to use...one for open networks (no WEP key) and ones for each restricted network you'll be connecting to. That's the nature of the beast. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 Mon Nov 14 17:28:59 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2005 09:28:59 -0800 Subject: Installing Horde and IMP in Fedora In-Reply-To: <001801c5e8ae$4bb2a6c0$0101a8c0@faria> References: <1131740248.22937.212.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> <001801c5e8ae$4bb2a6c0$0101a8c0@faria> Message-ID: <1131989339.13345.58.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Sun, 2005-11-13 at 21:59 -0200, Rodrigo Faria Tavares wrote: > Hello, > > I got to install the IMP, after follow the site horde. > I?m using cyrus-imapd, with saslauth. > > I installed the apache 1.3.34 e Apache 2.0.53. > In apache 2 all is ok, but in apache 1.3.34 come the message after login. > > [client 192.168.1.100] PHP Warning: fopen(/tmp/horde.log): failed to open > stream: Permission denied in /usr/local/lib/php/Log/file.php on line 228, > referer: http://webmail/ > > I recompiled PHP with all modules related in site horde. > > I give permission for /tmp/horde.log, but the message continue. > > I prefer user apache 1.3.34. > > Can to miss any component for apache 1.3.34 ?

Well, it's obvious the driver loaded and recognizes your controller. It's NOT seeing the drives, however, and that's where the problem lies. Stupid question, but are you 100% certain you a) have the SCSI bus terminated correctly, and b) have the drives spinning up? Get into the SCSI BIOS and make sure it starts the drives at power up (disable the "SCSI START/STOP" stuff). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Nov 14 17:33:59 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2005 09:33:59 -0800 Subject: Help!

First off, I can't recall which version of Red Hat you're running (AS3, AS4, FC2, FC3, FC4). Assuming you're running Fedora Core, you can "yum update kdevelop" and it'll do it automatically. If you're using a legitimate Enterprise Linux release, you can use up2date to update it.

(maybe cos of a service pack install? thanks bill) is there a linux tool that i can use to diagnose my booting problem and fix it? b.t.w., my partitions on disk1 are NTFS (holding windowsXP), then a FAT32, then an extended partition that holds linux. thanks for any ideas, grant From gferse_24 at yahoo.co.uk Tue Nov 15 10:20:19 2005 From: gferse_24 at yahoo.co.uk (Guy Ferse) Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2005 10:20:19 +0000 (GMT) Subject: Help!

Boot off the rescue CD of your FC4 set. Let the system find and mount your system disk at /mnt/sysimage.

Go to the directory where it was downloaded and enter these commands: tar xvj kdevelop-3.2.2.tar.bz2 That will extract the files that make up the system. You then have to build it. Go to the directory created by the tar command and look for files named README or INSTALL. Examine those files for instructions. In general, they'll be something like: ./configure --basedir=/usr make make install During the configure step, you may find that you need to upgrade other things on your system before kdevelop can be updated. Red Hat 9 is quite ancient. It's been dead for almost three years.

Rick When I wait for about half an hour I get error messages about not responding drives. He probes all IDs and at everyone an error appears that the reset didn't work... But when I boot with a 2.4 kerner version (I think the Knoppix v3.8 had also the old kernel), the recognization of the drives needs about 10 seconds. The system is terminated as followed Channel A: Host controller and End of SCSI cable Channel B (extern): Only Host controller I can remember have read about the external termination at IBM website. It should be fine if the termination on the backside is only on with external devices on the bus. Is this correct?

Since you don't have DNS set up and haven't set up the node name, then it's asking for localhost (the default name for the machine). You can log in as "root" using the password you set up for root when you installed the system. If you set up any additional users when you installed, you can use those usernames and passwords as well. BTW, Sam, RH8 is TRULY ancient (over four years old), and IMHO one release that Red Hat should NEVER have let out of the box (it's awful). If you want a free Red Hat release, you really have to go to one of the Fedora Core releases. The latest is Fedora Core 4 and it works quite well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - All generalizations are false. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Wed Nov 16 17:55:59 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 09:55:59 -0800 Subject: Eratic Cursor Behavior In-Reply-To: <28290.198.60.114.90.1132124987.squirrel@webmail.ourldsfamily.com> References: <48458.207.173.117.242.1131570928.squirrel@ourldsfamily.com> <1131652804.22937.134.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> <28290.198.60.114.90.1132124987.squirrel@webmail.ourldsfamily.com> Message-ID: <1132163759.13345.132.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Wed, 2005-11-16 at 00:09 -0700, karlp at ourldsfamily.com wrote: > On Thu, November 10, 2005 1:00 pm, Rick Stevens said: > > On Wed, 2005-11-09 at 14:15 -0700, karlp at ourldsfamily.com wrote: > >> FC4 > >> KDE > >> > >> Occasionally, and I can't replicate it so know this is a stretch to > >> ask..., when I am using my mouse to raise windows (mouseover mode, not > >> click), or even when playing a game, any game, the cursor will disappear > >> from before my eyes and appear in a corner of the screen.

What the hell has RH edited in the AS4 > kernel? AS4 also uses the 2.6 kernel, but with Red Hat tweaks. I've heard of some issues with their aic7xxx driver, but nothing this drastic. I did find a similar bug in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=150548 It looks to be very similar to your situation and the fix was a BIOS update to the motherboard. I think you said that it's an IBM machine. Check the IBM site for BIOS updates and apply them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - We look for things.

Probably not in the form you want. See lower for a different way. The probelm is that people do not authentication against NIS servers. Instead, they authenticate against the OS' login facilities; the OS consults NIS to obtain information but doesn't perform anything looking like an authentication when talking to the NIS - the NIS is just a set of network accessable tables. So... I login as "cameron", supplying a password. The login program will call getpwnam("cameron") to obtain the 'cameron" record from the OS; the underlying library will fetch the "cameron" record from the NIS. Now, that has my password hash in it and the login program verifies my supplied password against that hash. But the NIS server doesn't know the purpose of this record fetch. A contrasting example: "ls -l" will list login names, obtained via getpwuid(), which will pull records from the NIS based on user id number. The same info is returned (login, crypt, uid, gid, gecos, homedir, shell, etc) except that this time none of it is used for authentication. You might profitably log fetch-by-login, but plenty of programs do a getpwnam() for non-authentication purposes. Every shell does this when you type: cd ~travis to find out travis' home directory location, mail programs do it to fill in fullnames when you compose email, etc. So a fetch-by-login does not imply authentication. You are probably better off looking at the login programs. Many log to syslog; sshd certainly does, and I imagine the various getty/login programs will in addition to the regular wtmp logging. The syslog service can be configured to copy records to a central syslog server, and you could then track this stuff at the central server. But you'll have to get the logging happening first, and the NIS servers are not what you want to instrument - instrument the login programs.

On the RHN I found an article about kernel options (for AS3 but thats more than nothing ;)). I wondered about the acpi option. I've tried the parameter noacpi more than one times and it didn't work.

Then put the first one in the CD drive of the machine you want to install to and boot from the CD (you may have to change the settings in your BIOS to get it to boot from the CD).

The iso file is an image of the CD which you need to write track by track to your CD to get a data disk. Read the instructions with your CD burner software. You can use your Windows machine to create your CDs using your Windows CD burner software. When you have done this insert the first CD into your CD drive and re-boot your machine and read all the release notes etc. before doing anything else. Once you have read all the release notes and other stuff you can go ahead and either install a second HD to hold Linux (best option, a cheap 40Gb will do nicely) or partition your HD to make room for Linux. You will need at least three partitions, a boot partition, say 500Mb to allow for more than one kernel (I get away with 102K of which only 11K are in use by my 1 kernel), a swap partition (at least equal in size to the amount of RAM you have installed) and a good sized partition to hold everything else (I have 39,000,000K of which 15,000,000K is used by FC4 full install and all my other files, data etc.) You can create other partitions to hold various bits of your file system if you like, but the above three have worked fine for me for several years but mine is essentially a single user system. If you have more than one user you may like to put the home dir on a separate partition. Good luck. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind regards, Graeme. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At the foot of the mountain, thunder: The image of Providing Nourishment.

You apparently have "kernel.sysrq = 1" in your /etc/sysctl.conf file, but you did NOT build the kernel with ALT_SYSRQ enabled. Check the .config file for your kernel build and see if you have CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y set. It's around line 2842 in the file. If you don't have that, then delete the line from the /etc/sysctl.conf file. Unless you intend to debug the kernel, you don't need it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - The moving cursor writes, and having written, blinks on. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Nov 21 17:50:17 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 09:50:17 -0800 Subject: Upgrading to RHEL 4 In-Reply-To: <462170B0EBFCFE4AB1E54ED8C269A5BC03BB0047@PHLVEXCH01.genexservices.com> References: <462170B0EBFCFE4AB1E54ED8C269A5BC03BB0047@PHLVEXCH01.genexservices.com> Message-ID: <1132595417.419.47.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Mon, 2005-11-21 at 12:41 -0500, Smith, Albert 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: Monday, November 21, 2005 12:35 PM > > To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux > > Subject: Re: Upgrading to RHEL 4 > > > > On Sun, 2005-11-20 at 03:07 +0000, jlopes151 at comcast.net wrote: > > > Ok so I have downloaded the *.iso files now what?

Anaconda has a problem upgrading a multipartioned server. Whether it be LVM or not. It only mounts / . If your /boot is on another FS as well as /usr /var it can't find half of the things it needs to do the upgrade and eventually you will run out of space and have a blown upgrade. So the recommended solution is to do an Administrator Guided Install which is a fresh install, patch the system then reinstall your apps. For an Oracle system that's a real pain in the rump but not difficult as long as your oracle binaries are in a sperate FS then /usr. This was the same for 2.1 to 3 and 2.1 to 4. IMHO if you are going from 2.1 to 4 I wouldn't upgrade I would do a fresh install anyway. Albert Smith Sr. Unix Systems Administrator HPCSA, RHCT Genex Services 440 E. Swedesford Rd.

Found the cdrom dev values with -scanbus option. I have two cds drives on this machine one wouldn't mount the other appears to work. The command executes and runs with a number of messages but when I acces the cd nothing is there. Here's the command mkisofs -R -o /vzr/tmp/myhome.cd /home/myhome cdrecord -scanbus (see attached fiel scanbus.txt) cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 -data /var/tmp/myhome.cd Also when I shut down Linux my PC doesn't turn off I have to pull the plug.

Each of those describe a kernel migration, I think. 2.1 was a 2.2 kernel (not sure on that one), 3 is a 2.4 kernel (I'm sure on that) and 4 is a 2.6 kernel (again, I'm sure of that). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Polygon: A dead parrot (With apologies to John Cleese) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Nov 21 19:27:19 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 11:27:19 -0800 Subject: Installing Linux /Storage area network In-Reply-To: <9B1DF4652801764B909C4ADCA6523A24315B1C@iu-mssg-mbx09.exchange.iu.edu> References: <9B1DF4652801764B909C4ADCA6523A24315B1C@iu-mssg-mbx09.exchange.iu.edu> Message-ID: <1132601239.31573.16.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Mon, 2005-11-21 at 13:24 -0500, Nair, Murlidharan T wrote: > I am trying to setup my server from scratch.

Thanks ../Murli So you wish to install the OS on the normal IDE or SCSI (or SATA) drives in the machine and reserve the SAN for database? Ok, that's fine. As far as the SAN is concerned, I always try to configure things with a hot spare if at all possible. If you need the space, then a 4-drive RAID5 is fine. If you can add a hot spare later, then that's even better. Each LUN on the SAN will appear as a SCSI disk (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb, depending on what other stuff you have). Configure your database to use raw devices or set up partitions on those disks as you see fit. Note, however, that multi-LUN setups will have problems as the default kernels from Red Hat only look at the first LUN. Just why they do that is beyond me for an "enterprise" kernel (probing multiple LUNs is pretty innocuous), but that's what they do. To get around that, you need to rebuild the kernel with "CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y" set and boot that kernel. If you can give us details on the system configuration (the number and sizes of IDE, SCSI or SATA drives, SAN host adapter, SAN itself, etc.), we will be able to advise you more completely. Remember, these are just _suggestions_...we aren't Red Hat employees here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If you can't beat your computer at chess...try kickboxing! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon Nov 21 19:32:35 2005 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 11:32:35 -0800 Subject: Upgrading to RHEL 4 In-Reply-To: <112120051920.15143.43821DDF000BDE1F00003B272207003201CECACE9C0A9F010406@comcast.net> References: <112120051920.15143.43821DDF000BDE1F00003B272207003201CECACE9C0A9F010406@comcast.net> Message-ID: <1132601555.31573.21.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Mon, 2005-11-21 at 19:20 +0000, jlopes151 at comcast.net wrote: > > On Sun, 2005-11-20 at 03:07 +0000, jlopes151 at comcast.net wrote: > > > Ok so I have downloaded the *.iso files now what?

The LiteON is a DVD-RW (I have one too). The other device appears to be a simple DVD reader: hdc: attached ide-cdrom driver. hdc: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33) Now, as far as burning the .iso images you downloaded, the command you want to use is: cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 /path/to/iso/file Repeat that for each .iso you downloaded. When you're done, you should be able to take the CD you burned for the first .iso file and boot right off it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - What is a "free" gift?

I made a mistake while trying to dual boot my computer and couldn't find them mailing list for dummies like me. So, I've successfully installed linux on my machine, but I can't boot my windows xp partition now, which shows as an ext2 partition. I'm certain things are this way because I made a mistake, but I can't tell you what I've done to cause it. I tried to change the menu.lst file in /boot/grub, but it just sent me on a weird chase that didn't result in my windows partition booting. That's all the wisdom I have. Anyone have solutions for me? Thanks in advance.

But they did file a bug. The problem is on their startup on RHEL4 they don't activate the existing volumegroups nor do they scan for them. I am personally unsure of how to drop out of the installer during the install to active the volumegroups. However I doubt that their upgrade scripts even have the command inserted to convert the LVM1 to LVM2 at this time. Albert Smith Sr. Unix Systems Administrator HPCSA, RHCT Genex Services 440 E.

Because some arrays will do a raid 5 however the throughput is sometimes less then desirable especially if you are running a database with high read/write activity. With a raid 5 I would do either a 4+1 or a 8+1 this will divide into your default stripe set nicely and balance your data across the spindles. > Each LUN on the SAN will appear as a SCSI disk (/dev/sda, > /dev/sdb, depending on what other stuff you have).

I have tried to backup my home dir files but don't see anything when I mount the drive. You probably want to add the "-J" option to mkisofs. The options I typically use are "mkisofs -r -J -o /path/image.iso /path/to/files" If you burned the .iso correctly, you can mount the CD and see a bunch of files on it. If you only see one file, then you burned it wrong. You _are_ checking the mountpoint, right? Don't check /dev/hdc, you must check wherever you mounted it. Put the CD in, wait a few seconds, then check the output of the "mount" command to see if it automounted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - To err is human.

One of the most useful debugging tools they have and they disable it. Sheesh! It appears you're SOL unless you build a custom anaconda.

I would think that the board is supported "out of the box" on AS3. When you boot the CD, does the driver load? If not, and Tekram doesn't have an AS3 driver (and it appears they don't, looking at their website), you'll need to install AS3 somewhere, install the source for the RH9 driver, build the driver based on the kernel for AS3 and create a driver disk you can use at boot time.

Having some time on my hands I thought I'd set my file server up to also be a mail server - why? because it's there. I use fetchmail to retrieve my email from various accounts and it's been running for years on my computers. Recently I set up a FC2 machine to store music, picutres and movies so the house could share. It's working fine. I moved my .fetchmailrc file to this server and have been trying to get fetchmail to grab my mail and save it, then I'll share the /var/spool/mail directory and everyone will have access to there mail. At lest thats the idea. Well, I keep getting an exit code of 2 from fetchmail. This is listed as a socket error. Doing some experminting I can not ping mail.comcast.net from my FC2 file server but I can from my other machines. Looking at the ifconfig output the biggest difference I see is bcast on the file server is 192.168.1.255 and 255.255.255.255. I was thinking it may be a gateway issue but I don't see that listed under ifconfig and don't remember how to look for that or how to set it up if it's wrong. Right now I have a Linksys switch servinig as a DHCP server but the file server has a fixed IP as I couldn't get NFS to find a floating IP. That shouldn't be a problem as my old fetchmail server also had a fixed IP but there is the Bcast difference which surprised me. Suggestions?

What does it mean ? Well it rather failled to initialize the RAMDISK . Is it has to do with that I have a SATA disk? Probably but not certainly . Although i can only speculate on what's going on , here it goes . You are trying to install Fedora Core 4 on a SATA Drive alone without using any IDE Drives but at the very begining of the installation you don't tell linux that it has to PRELOAD the driver for your SATA Drive . I actually mean that probably Fedora Core 4 doesn't support by it's one your SATA Drive so it has to be assisted with the SATA Disk Driver . Possibly if you retry to install Fedora Core 4 in TEXT mode with linux text preload=SATA_Disk_Driver you will succeed . Kind Regards, Kostas > 2) Is there no other solution ?

I started going through more books and came across the "route" command. It showed my gateway as 192.168.1.254 so I added a gateway of 192.168.1.1 and deleted the .254 gateway and now I'm getting email. Really cool. OK, now I've got some questions - one reason for putting fetchmail on a different machine was it's always on so there is less chance of mail building up on the internet. The other reason was so I could use multiple computers to read my email. Checking out my new /var/spool/mail directory I see my mail account grow when fetchmail goes out to get mail then it goes to zero when Pine goes and picks it up. i have a feeling it's moving it to my local machine and this is going to mean I will not have access to my mail from other comptuers (like my notebook). So, how do I set things up to allow that? One other thing, I'm looking at my new /var/spool/mail directory and there is a new directory out there called "BOGUS.brad.FXsN" what the heck is that?

However,it does not explain why after inserting some gibrish, and then after it displays the errror messafe running "enter" again, it did succeed. Any speculation why ? If your assumption about that the sata disk was not available, then enetring gibrish + enter afterwards should also fail ! and the fact is, that after enetring gibrish + enter it did succeed ! and I now have FC4 running on the that machine .

Short answer: It was a mailbox probably not owned by brad. Long answer, thanks to http://www.freebsdhowtos.com/42.html Problem - from procmail(1) doc: -----------------------------< cut here >------------------------------- If /var/mail/$LOGNAME is a bogus mailbox (i.e. does not belong to the recipient, is unwritable, is a symbolic link or is a hard link), procmail will upon startup try to re- name it into a file starting with `BOGUS.$LOGNAME.' and ending in an inode-sequence-code. If this turns out to be impossible, ORGMAIL will have no initial value, and hence will inhibit delivery without a proper rcfile. -----------------------------< cut here >------------------------------- > Thanks > > Brad Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. robertmcclure at earthlink.net http://www.bobcatos.com Peace at any price is inflationary.

Go to the directory where it was downloaded and enter these commands: tar xvj kdevelop-3.2.2.tar.bz2 That will extract the files that make up the system. You then have to build it. Go to the directory created by the tar command and look for files named README or INSTALL. Examine those files for instructions.

Setup is ssh -> FC3 server -> screen -> MC. I have the same problem without screen but is less annoying. At first, I put an alias in ~/.bashrc like mc='mc -a' which is taken without running MC from screen but not when running into screen. But this is a screen problem. Now, running 'mc -a' give me a screen where the TOP of the screen disappear (no command menu) and there is a one line gap between the cursor position (reverse line) on the screen and the real position. Drawned lines are not in the 80 columns but more, strange characters on the screen like '?' or reverse 'D' (have the same without screen), etc. Ctrl/L make thinks worst. When I launch mcedit, part of the screen is not refreshed but here Ctrl/L is doing the job. As told, before the upgrade it was ok. I tried to change the TERM in xterm, linux, aso., helps nothing.

This is a known problem with the kernel on FC4's distribution. It has to do with memory management and the grub command line parsing. Adding "gibberish" to the end of the command gets around the parsing issue. I believe it's fixed in the grub and kernel updates. In other words, use the gibberish to install, then update immediately. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - We look for things.

Check the server machine's /etc/sysconfig/i18n file and make sure you have the proper language set in there. You could also try changing the locale for the MC job by changing the "LANG" environment variable before launching MC: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 sets the normal US English locale. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Swap memory error: You lose your mind" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From harold at hallikainen.com Tue Nov 29 03:51:42 2005 From: harold at hallikainen.com (Harold Hallikainen) Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2005 19:51:42 -0800 (PST) Subject: ssh port forwarding for imap Message-ID: <57907.192.168.1.1.1133236302.squirrel@sujan.hallikainen.org> I've got ssh port forwarding working so I can use Thunderbird to get to my imap server.

Telling thunderbird... probably not. But you could make yourself a special (passphraseless, locked down) ssh key for the portforward and run one up at log (or boot, if it's a personal machine) time. Make a phraseless key: ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ~/.ssh/id_dsa_portfwd Press Enter twice to use no passphrase. Install the public half in your authorised_keys file on the target server, prefixing the line with a fixed do nothing command, for example: command="while sleep 60; do echo .; done",no-pty,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,permitopen="127.0.0.1:143" ... This doesn't let that key run any commands or do other things, and permits only a single port forward. See "man sshd" for details, under the heading "AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT". The issue here is this: because this key requires no passphrase, it is usable on its own. This is convenient for your batch-mode situation, but also means that if someone gets the key they can use it - your other keys require a pass phrase to use. Therefore it is important that it can do exactly one thing at the far end, specificly: nothing. It will run your port specified forwards. Then run up the port forward ssh: ssh -f -i $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa_portfwd -L 1143:127.0.0.1:443 remotehost You will need to experiment a bit interactively until you have this right of course. WARNING: Note that as described above, passphraseless keys have the potential to be a significant security hole. be sure you understand what you're allowing and what you're not allowing (and exactly what you have said on config files to ensure these things) before deploying this setup for real.

What may I be doing wrong? Does it look blocky/pixelated with each block a different color? Does it only do it when you boot up in Xwindows mode or startX from a character logon? We had a similar problem with RHEL4 but only after running up2date and updating the kernel. One person here corrected by twiddling with the X config files. But it turned out Dell also had an updated video driver (they were Dell 2850 machines) that solved the problem, too. If this sounds similar to what you're seeing, check with your hardware vendor(s) to see if they have a new/current video driver available.

Pine is an mbox reader...it doesn't do POP or IMAP. It just reads your LOCAL mailbox. It has no concept of network operations.

Let me tell you what I think is happening. I can open up a window where I can see the size of my /var/spool/mail directory. Just prior to opening PINE the file BRAD has XX K bytes of size. I open up PINE and it goes to 0 bytes. Fetchmail goes out every 10 mintues and downloads my email from comcast (and other places) and splits them up amoung different files in /var/spool/mail. Pine is schedule to go out every 15 minutes (that's as short of time available) to /var/spool/mail and gets my mail (where it puts it I don't know). Anyway, that's what I'm seeing.

Ok, I've been looking at the pine web site and my old ideas about pine are way off. It does support POP (well, starting with pine 4.x) as well as IMAP. It's based on the c-client code that makes up the UW mail system (remember uw-imapd and the like?). All of the configuration on a per-user basis is in your ~/.pinerc file. You can do configuration work by hitting "S" (setup) followed by "C" (config) when you're in the main menu. > Let me tell you what I think is happening. > > I can open up a window where I can see the size of my > /var/spool/mail directory.

By default the current version of PINE does NOT move it's files to the local drive. But if you have a file called ~/mbox it will move them to your local drive. I'm guessing an older version of Pine did set up the ~/mbox file as I've got one. Now to fix my problem I need to delete (rename) the mbox file and it will not move my files. I'm a terrable house keeper and my inbox has a lot of emails in it. I started moving them to a folder called inboxold but that is slow as it's one at a time.

Something like $ mv mbox mbox.save should be faster than moving the contents of mbox file by file.

My current system consists of many hard disks on 4 controllers (don't ask). The primary goal is data and OS separation. The relevent layout is as follows: hda - boot drive with NTLDR to boot hda1 - Windows 98 hda2 - Windows 2000 hde1 - / hde2 - /boot hde[3-8] rest of system hdfx - data Right now I'm booting kernel 2.4.30 off a boot floopy. Not the best solution but workable for me since I rarely reboot. So I'd like to keep the NTLDR as the boot mechanism for the windows partitions. I was hoping to have that launch grub which would let me boot FC4 on hde. From what I've read, to do this I need to have /boot on the first disk, hda. I'd really rather not mix things up like this. Is there another way? Assuming I break down and install grub on hda can I still keep my boot and root on hde? thanks rob From bigodines at yahoo.com.br Wed Nov 30 14:45:24 2005 From: bigodines at yahoo.com.br (bigodines -) Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 11:45:24 -0300 (ART) Subject: kernel panic (maybe a stupid question) Message-ID: <20051130144524.86423.qmail@web33209.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Hi guys! I was running RH Enterprive v3 and I then I tried to migrate to the version 4. Ok, I'm not a linux expert (I'm just a regular desktop user that just started with this server stuff). Instalation went well, no errors at all. So, after reboot, I still have two options to choose (one is the kernel with SMP and the other is the 'regular' kernel). If I choose the kernel with SMP, the system works OK (well I didn't tested everything, but at least it starts and give me no errors) If I try to enter using the kernel withou smp, I've something like: "Creating root device mkrootdev: label / not found mount: error 2 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none" Probably this is a totally newbie question... but I really don't know what to do to fix this problem.

I presume both kernels should be using the same filesystem for /. I'd look at /boot/grub/grub.conf and see if there are differences in the stanzas for both kernels, in particular the "root=..." parameter in the "kernel" lines.

From mmarkiw at speakeasy.net Wed Nov 30 14:56:37 2005 From: mmarkiw at speakeasy.net (Mike Markiw III) Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2005 14:56:37 +0000 Subject: kernel panic (maybe a stupid question) Message-ID: Matheus, I've actually run into a very similar problem on a RHEL ES 4 system in the last couple of months. I'll give a quick rundown of what happened. 1. I did a clean install of v4 using kernel 2.6.9-5smp and everything ran just fine. (As an aside, even the non-smp kernel worked ok for me) 2. I needed to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.9-11 to install a piece of Oracle software. I tried using up2date, but whenever I rebooted the system I got the error you are describing. I tried numerous versions, all the way up to 2.6.13, both smp and non-smp and always got the exact same thing. 3. I tried doing a custom kernel compile, thinking that the SATA drive was causing the problem. Same problems. 4. Finally, I broke down and replaced the SATA drive with a regular IDE drive. I reinstalled RHEL and performed the upgrade via up2date and everything worked fine. I can't prove it conclusively, but for some reason it seems that my SATA drive (or controller) wasn't playing nice with RHEL. When I replaced it with a standard IDE it worked fine. So, my question for you is, are you using a SATA hard drive? -Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: bigodines - [mailto:bigodines at yahoo.com.br] > Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 02:45 PM > To: Redhat-install-list at redhat.com > Subject: kernel panic (maybe a stupid question) > > Hi guys! > > I was running RH Enterprive v3 and I then I tried to > migrate to the version 4.

The non-SMP kernel expects to fine the partition with the LABEL '/' and use as the root. However, probably you do not have such a partition. The SMP kernel may have the root partition defined by its device name (such as /dev/hda1) and, therefore, finds it regardless of that partition's LABEL. The name (or LABEL) of root device if passed to the kernel by the bootloader (such as grub) during the boot process. I think that there are different definitions for the root filesystem in the bootloader configuration file (such as grub.conf) for the SMP and non-SMP kernels. Check the bootloader configuration for non-SMP kernel and set root devioce to the same value as for SMP kernel. Also, you should check filesystem LABELs and set the label for root filesystem to '/'.

It seems that the non-SMP kernel could not find partition with label '/' - it should be root partition. It is possible that you root partition has no label at all or has the wrong label. To show (and set, if necessary) the filesystem label you should use 'e2label' command (I assume that you are using EXT2/EXT3 filesystem).
