I now have two machines up on FC5, an Athlon-64 laptop with ATI graphics and an Athlon with nVidia (the nvidia thing was a right bitch to get working) but neither exhibit that problem. Note that they were both fresh installs--not upgrades. The laptop/ATI seems quite stable, the Athlon/nVidia hasn't been up long enough nor flogged hard enough for me to determine its stability yet. It's running washing machine tests right now and I should know more tomorrow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Overweight: When you step on your dog's tail...and it dies. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon May 1 21:12:15 2006 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 01 May 2006 14:12:15 -0700 Subject: Gnome FC5 Error In-Reply-To: <24246.198.60.114.90.1146319848.squirrel@webmail.ourldsfamily.com> References: <4452BCD8.5000901@ourldsfamily.com> <20060429020213.GB25094@bobcat.bobcatos.com> <20057.198.60.114.90.1146283960.squirrel@webmail.ourldsfamily.com> <20060429132528.GA15501@bobcat.bobcatos.com> <24246.198.60.114.90.1146319848.squirrel@webmail.ourldsfamily.com> Message-ID: <1146517935.18405.26.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Sat, 2006-04-29 at 08:10 -0600, karlp at ourldsfamily.com wrote: > On Sat, April 29, 2006 7:25 am, Bob McClure Jr said: > > On Fri, Apr 28, 2006 at 10:12:40PM -0600, karlp at ourldsfamily.com wrote: > >> > >> On Fri, April 28, 2006 8:02 pm, Bob McClure Jr said: > >> > > >> > > >> > > >> >> I hope this is solveable.

Well, it could if you saved a weird session. Try deleting the ~/.gconfd/saved-state file for the user in question, log in as that user and save the session. BTW, you had mentioned earlier that you didn't know how to save a session when you wanted to. The command is "gnome-session-save". It's not on the menus as it once was. You can "gnome-session-save --gui" and it'll pop up a dialog box regarding the state of the save. > >> This is a show-stopper for me. I can't use FC5 without gnome-terminal > >> and other gnome apps.

I can grok that. Of course, you could add something to the bash login (or whatever shell you're using) to determine if you're in a gnome-term or regular xterm and tweak things accordingly. > >> I hope this solveable Fedora folks listening?

Actually, due to some weirdness I inflicted on it, my machine ate the LVM config and I had to start over. I will warn people wanting to use the nVidia drivers...before you even start, make sure you have the following RPMs installed: kernel-devel OR the kernel source itself xorg-x11-server-sdk pkgconfig Also be aware that there are some, uhm, "issues" with SELinux and the nVidia driver. They don't set the contexts correctly--even if you run the installer with "--force-selinux=yes". I haven't built up the correct changes yet, but until you set them correctly you have to run in permissive mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't TOUCH anything!" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From karlp at ourldsfamily.com Tue May 2 03:44:39 2006 From: karlp at ourldsfamily.com (karlp at ourldsfamily.com) Date: Mon, 1 May 2006 21:44:39 -0600 (MDT) Subject: Gnome FC5 Error In-Reply-To: <1146525146.18405.48.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> References: <4452BCD8.5000901@ourldsfamily.com> <1146517810.18405.23.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> <39599.207.173.117.242.1146518764.squirrel@webmail.ourldsfamily.com> <1146525146.18405.48.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> Message-ID: <26988.198.60.114.90.1146541479.squirrel@webmail.ourldsfamily.com> On Mon, May 1, 2006 5:12 pm, Rick Stevens said: > On Mon, 2006-05-01 at 15:26 -0600, karlp at ourldsfamily.com wrote: >> On Mon, May 1, 2006 3:10 pm, Rick Stevens said: >> > On Fri, 2006-04-28 at 19:09 -0600, Karl Pearson wrote: >> >> I mentioned in a previous email some issues with running gnome-session >> >> as my default X-win manager for FC5.

I'm the only user on this system. You know, I shouldn't have to remove that file, except that gnome auto-saves and I can't find an option to check to undo that 'feature'...

The issue is knowing which term I'm using when I ssh or telnet to an AIX server at work. That's the rub... Our business app, a very fast, clean green-screen app, uses smoke and mirrors to look a bit 'windowy' with line characters, etc. Since it's not ncurses, the emulation has to be exact. We've been WY50 for centuries (okay, not that long) and I made the switch to 'vt100/ansi' like emulators, and I had to twiddle around with the termtype settings to get xterms to work in a DBMS-specific terminal type. > >> >> I hope this solveable Fedora folks listening?

Ah. Well, if you're in gnome-terminal, there is an environment variable, $COLORTERM that's set. In other words, in just an xterm, $TERM will be set to "xterm" and $COLORTERM won't be defined. In gnome- terminal, $TERM will be "xterm" and $COLORTERM will be "gnome-terminal". > >> >> I hope this solveable Fedora folks listening?

Once the stability checks are done on the Athlon, I'll get to work on the dual-head nature of the beast (the nVidia chipset supports it). My laptop's ATI chipset says it supports dual head, but I'm not sure I believe it...there's the external monitor port on the back, but I think it simply mirrors what's on the main screen when it's enabled.

If you could show me how to make that actually work I'd be a remarkably happy camper. In the Good Old Days(tm), this would give you the chance to tick a checkbox and Boom! you'd have the same session at next login. FC5 won't offer the checkbox, and at next login you have a rather bullocksed session.

I haven't really played with it on the HP I have. I did turn on dual head mode but the external port simply mirrored the main display. I have NOT played with the xorg.conf file yet.

No. FC4 and FC5 use dovecot, not UofW (c-client) nor popper (Qualcomm/Eudora). poppassd is a Eudora-specific program and was used with popper. For users to change their password, they have to go through one of the standard password changing mechanisms.

I can't experiment > freely because it's also a production server. Can named be told to be > more verbose? Yes, include "-d val", where "val" is a digit. The higher the value, the more verbose the logging is. You must make sure that /var/named/chroot and ALL of its children are readable and writable by named. Yes, "~named/chroot/var/tmp" is readable, but is its parent (~named/chroot/var)? Actually, they should be user named, group named. I don't know why they insist on distributing the stuff as root:named with 750 permissions, but they do. That can be fixed by executing the following commands as root: cd /var/named chown -R named:named chroot Hope that helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - To err is human.

No. FC4 and FC5 use dovecot, not UofW (c-client) nor popper (Qualcomm/Eudora). poppassd is a Eudora-specific program and was used with popper.

Also the 127.0.0.1 is the ip address for the loopback interface, the system just has to have that basically for traffic that it sends to itself. You will need to use a normal ip address such as a 192.169.0.x would work. If this is on a network then you will want to make sure the network address portion of the ip address, along with the netmask, and default gateway information, matches that which is already in place on other systems.

I find that rather difficult to believe. By default, there will be some symbolic links (/dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrecorder, /dev/dvd, /dev/dvdwriter and so on) against the raw devices. Assuming the raw devices are IDE, then the devices are: /dev/hda First IDE, primary drive /dev/hdb First IDE, secondary drive /dev/hdc Second IDE, primary drive /dev/hdd Second IDE, secondary drive Note that most of this is handled via udev and not a kernel probe as it was in V2.4 kernels and may not show up in dmesg. Another place to look is in /proc. You should see entries in /proc/ide in there for them. For example: [root at golem ide]# ls /proc/ide ali drivers hda hdc ide0 ide1 [root at golem ide]# cat /proc/ide/hdc/model TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R6012 So, I have a Toshiba DVD-ROM (actually a DVD+-RW) as /dev/hdc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a - - rigged demo. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From karlp at ourldsfamily.com Mon May 8 18:03:54 2006 From: karlp at ourldsfamily.com (karlp at ourldsfamily.com) Date: Mon, 8 May 2006 12:03:54 -0600 (MDT) Subject: Modem Server In-Reply-To: <20060508105809.18788.qmail@web8808.mail.in.yahoo.com> References: <20060508105809.18788.qmail@web8808.mail.in.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <33612.207.173.117.242.1147111434.squirrel@ourldsfamily.com> I have a MTRouter Multitech RASfinder with 3 builtin modems...

I had a network card where the tulip driver seemed to time out and I found I had to stop and restart the network to get it back.

I searched the redhat knowledge base but it only refers to a broken URL (http://www.crypticide.org/users/alecm/) how words are added to the dictionary. The cracklib-dicts rpm installs 2 utilities in /usr/sbin, mkdict and packer, however, no information what so ever how they should be used (if they are the tools I'm looking for). In the early days (RedHat 5.0 ....), RedHat supplied a utility in the cracklib-dics rpm called create-cracklib-dict, however, this utility seems to have been removed.

I hate to give you this because losing fedora and going back to the great virus spawner just seems wrong, but...

Correct. diskdruid doesn't go past the hub. If you directly connect the drive to a USB port, it should work. If you open up ALT-F3 (or whatever console has the shell prompt) and do a "lsusb", you'll see the ID numbers and names of the devices. Then use "lsusb -t", you'll see the tree of the USB system. diskdruid won't go below the first branches on those trees. > > Karl > > > > > Thanks, > > Todd > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Redhat-install-list mailing list > > Redhat-install-list at redhat.com > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list > > To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: > > redhat-install-list-request at redhat.com > > Subject: unsubscribe > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - First Law of Work: - - If you can't get it done in the first 24 hours, work nights. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From tonyc at foe.co.uk Thu May 11 10:08:49 2006 From: tonyc at foe.co.uk (Tony Canning) Date: Thu, 11 May 2006 11:08:49 +0100 Subject: enterprise 3 install/upgrade question Message-ID: <44630D31.1000402@foe.co.uk> I have been asked to maintain and support a Dell Poweredge 2550 running Redhat Enterprise 3.

My immediate goal is to make journyx > accessible to a new W2K+3 Active Directory system. You'll need Samba installed to join an ADS domain. As far as KDE and such, you really don't need that for a server. You can install it, but it's a bit much simply for management. 99% of what you need to do can be done via command line. Check your current disk usage (as root, run "df -h") to make sure you have space (primarily on the "/usr" filesystem) to add more stuff. If you have the room, I'd suggest you install Webmin (http://www.webmin.com/). It's a web-based Linux management system and makes remote management of the system a lot easier. Note that webmin won't help you manage Samba, however (there's too many options for Webmin to do it). However, if all you want to do is make the Linux box join a Windows domain, that I and others on the list can help you with. I have a number of Samba servers in a W2k3 domain. > I have the original installation package (9 CDs) but if I boot from the > CD I don't see any option to add packages, and the process aborts when > it attempts to create a new root partition.

No, booting from the CD won't let you add packages...it'll ask you if you want to upgrade an existing system or reinstall the current one. It can't create a new root partition because all of the disk is probably committed to existing partitions. If you simply want to add more packages, the command line tool to use is (strangely enough!) called "redhat-config-packages". Run that as the root user. Once you've added the packages, don't forget to do an update...the stuff on the CDs is really old. Check with Red Hat about your entitlement status for updates. My guess is that it's expired. I'd also suggest upgrading the OS. As I said, RHEL3 is pretty old now, but upgrading does take some skill and entails risk. RHEL4 update 3 is the current release. A free alternative is CentOS4.3 (built from the same source code as RHEL, but free). Note that no support comes with CentOS...you have to use their support forums or find others on the net willing to assist. Should you decide to upgrade, make SURE you back up your data and applications. If you're not sure how they all work, you'd best get a Linux nerd to help. I'd take a stab at it, but I'm in California and busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest at the present time. > any advice gratefully appreciated Those are some ideas.

It would help a lot if you would tell us WHAT thin clients you are running. Most thin clients have a dropdown menu or secondary window that shows local devices and that's where the USB disk would appear.

You may need to "modprobe usb-storage" to force the USB storage module to load up. Then plugging in your USB drive should show up. So: 1. Unplug the drive 2. As root, "modprobe usb-storage" 3. Plug the drive back in Once that's done, take a look at the output of "dmesg" and see if the drive was recognized. If it was, you can either add the "modprobe usb-storage" command to the end of the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script or add a line to /etc/modules.conf like: alias scsi_hostadapter usb-storage which should force the module to load. You may also want to add a line to /etc/auto.misc to do the automount when the drive shows up, e.g. usbdisk -fstype=ext2 :/dev/sda1 This assumes that the /mnt/usbdisk directory exists. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 karlp at ourldsfamily.com Thu May 11 22:24:53 2006 From: karlp at ourldsfamily.com (karlp at ourldsfamily.com) Date: Thu, 11 May 2006 16:24:53 -0600 (MDT) Subject: USB Storage support to Thin Clients.

If your not, you should be. its the best supported and most widely used thin client server setup available for Linux. If you are its very simple to add usb recognition to the thin clients, just add it to the workstation config file. For fast expert advice on how to do anything with thin clients see #ltsp on freenode irc or join the ltsp mailing list at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ltsp-discuss and you can visit the web site at www.ltsp.org where this also a wiki that is well populated with good information. -- Jeff Kinz, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA.

According to Red Hat, that system is fully supported and certified: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/hwcert/show.cgi?id=163251 I suspect what's actually happening is that the installer is finding the device, but there's no "uncommitted" space on the drive. In other words, the entire drive is sucked up by Windows. If the installer can't find free space, it will will abort with that (somewhat misleading) message.

It appears your space is used already and is mounted under / (root). You could just create a directory for data1 (mkdir /data1) and begin using it. On many *nixes, it's been prevalent to create most filesystems in such a way that they each appear in the output of a df command (try df -h, df -m and others and see if you like the output better; df -k is the default so just typing df will give the same output).

Yes, a re-install would be easiest, especially if you haven't done any customization yet. During the install, you are given the option to accept the default layout or customize.

That is extremely unlikely. Have you tried any of the advice you were given? okay, try the following: 1. log in as root (or become root by opening a terminal and typing "su -") 2. /sbin/ip a (post the output here) 3. also post the content of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-lo 4. stop using redhat-config-network as it is very broken in Red Hat 9. Alternatively, *either* use redhat-config-network (the graphical tool) *or* edit files by hand (or using netconfig). The two different tools do not work well together on RH9 which address did you *want* eth0 to have? or are you using DHCP to automatically assign addresses? oh, and please make this thread more readable (for me at least) by typing your replies into this email under the questions you are answering, rather than all at the top.

No. As I told you before, you CANNOT use IP address 127.0.0.1 for an ethernet interface...it is already used by the pseudo-network interface called "lo". We need to know what you're trying to do. If you use DHCP, then the /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 script should contain (at a minimum): DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes If you have a fixed IP address for the interface, then the minimum would be: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=fixed ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=www.xxx.yyy.zzz <---Put the IP address here NETMASK=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd <---Put the netmask here And that should do it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Microsoft is a cross between The Borg and the Ferengi. - - Unfortunately they use Borg to do their marketing and Ferengi to - - do their programming." -- Simon Slavin - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From dcalhoun at blomand.net Mon May 15 18:11:50 2006 From: dcalhoun at blomand.net (Dennis D.

I have tried to write: onfiltered=yes in file "/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0" After that, Red Hat didn't work. It hanged. I have re-installed and now have still the problem. On the computer there are windows xp, Mandrake and RedHat9. I have installed RedHat9 as the last one and without Boot Loader. I use Boot Loader from Mandrake. As booting the RedHat9, I got message: IP Address 127.0.0.1 is used by the other. Could the network configuration problem come from the other Linux? Hello Nofri , As Rick Stevens has explained, you cannot us 127.0.01 for a network address. To expand on that a bit, that address is what is generally known as the "loopback" address. It can be used to test the functionality of a network interface card. On an individual computer, if you PING 127.0.0.1 and it works, then it is a good shot that your NIC is properly, physically installed and powered on, the proper driver/s for it are properly installed and your TCP/IP stack is properly installed and working correctly. Concerning a network address that you CAN use, for the *external* network address of your LAN: The most common default network address for small LANs (254 or less nodes) is 192.168.0.xxx with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 Dennis Calhoun, MCSA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Example ^H backspace and terminal and tty stuff. Most of that should already be dealt with. when your use logs in the following scripts will be read, in order: /etc/profile - this sets up global variables and similar tasks /etc/profile.d/*.sh - local customisations (for *all* users) go in scripts here /home/username/.bash_profile - local user variables (that aren't provided by /etc/profile) /home/username/.bashrc - aliases and functions that are specfic to a particular user. /etc/bashrc - global aliases and functions These files will automatically set up readline for you ( so no need for extra commands to enable the backspace key etc) You shouldn't really edit /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc as these could be replaced during software updates Have you read the template files?

No, that's not the problem. The system was specifically whining about device major 10, minor 134 (which is the apm_bios device under the V2.4 kernel). Since nvidia's module does link in with apm (advanced power management) to blank the screen and such, I suspect that's what happened. As to the major device 195, that is the major device number assigned to nvidia and should be created on-the-fly when X fires up the nvidia module. > Once again, thank you for your help.

The curtin driver was really prevalent on 2.2 kernels. The code was essentially folded into the "parport" driver in 2.4 and subsequent kernels. You didn't say what Linux you're running. Assuming something fairly recent, plug in the drive and do a fresh boot. Do NOT load those other drivers. Do an "lsmod" and see if you see that the "parport" and "parport_pc" devices are loaded. If so, you can check the various files in /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0 and see if your device was spotted. Also check the output of "dmesg". The device should have been auto detected and usable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 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 Thu May 18 19:13:32 2006 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Thu, 18 May 2006 12:13:32 -0700 Subject: bootable usb In-Reply-To: <310b80f10605181135s1d7dd07uc88ef16e70587f79@mail.gmail.com> References: <310b80f10605181135s1d7dd07uc88ef16e70587f79@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <1147979612.5498.38.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Thu, 2006-05-18 at 14:35 -0400, Mark Hammerton wrote: > I have created a custom iso RHEL 4 that i will be using to install on > a number of servers, however none of tem have cd rom drives, I would > like to put it the iso on a 2gb and install from there. 2gb is more > than enough for me.

Remember, you need to specify a bootable, "El Torito" image as part of the mkisofs command (see the "-b" "-hard-disk-boot" and "-no-emul-boot" options for mkisofs). If the image IS bootable, then verify what device your system uses for the USB stick. Plug it in and check the output of dmesg to see what device is used. If your system is IDE based, the stick will probably show up as /dev/sda. Now, you need to copy the ISO image to the stick using "dd". Note that you must write the image to the RAW stick device--not a partition on it ("/dev/sda" NOT "/dev/sda1"). The "dd" command will look like: # dd if=name-of-ISO-image of=/dev/sda bs=512 When that completes, you should write-protect the stick if you can (some have a write-protect tab on them) before using it. Then try to boot from it and see if it works. > my LAN is your LAN Now that just INVITES hack attempts! :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If Bill Gates got a dime for every time Windows crashes... - - ...oh, wait.

To make myself clearer each time I launch the driver service (SFNET) I am constantly connecting and disconnecting to the SAN. here is my /var/log/messages: May 19 10:29:09 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connection to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 closed May 19 10:29:09 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connected to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 May 19 10:29:39 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connection to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 closed May 19 10:29:39 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connected to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 May 19 10:30:09 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connection to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 closed May 19 10:30:09 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connected to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 May 19 10:30:39 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connection to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 closed May 19 10:30:39 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connected to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 So every 30 seconds I am trying to connect and my connection is closed then I am reconnected. I set the connection to the SAN to be constant or continuous because If I am disconnected from the SAN, I will like to be connected automatically as well. I thought it was coming from some configuration file and basically this one : /etc/iscsi.conf: # Timeout options # Configuration Options LoginTimeout=25 ActiveTimeout=25 IdleTimeout=180 PingTimeout=15 HeaderDigest=prefer-off DataDigest=prefer-off # We want to automate the connection # If a Connection to the SAN is broken we want to reestablish # automatically a new connection Continuous=yes DiscoveryAddress=205.219.64.1 OutgoingUsername=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx perenety.com OutgoingPassword=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I do not thing the problem is coming from the cluster set-up. But let me describe how it is, I have two servers running the cluster server on both machines. One of them is owning the Service (Server A), and the other one is a cluster member. When Server B is dead, Server A is acknowledging from its dead status. The problem is Server B is not taking the relay on the Service that is supposed to be shared (GFS). Only one of Server A and B is able to see the Service running on the cluster configuration. Thanks.

Ok - I was planning to install samba but am nowhere near that stage yet.

What do you think? Thanks, this is helpful stuff - in the short term, I am trying to avoid a major reinstall (I do have other linux machines (such as SUSE 9.3)), which would entail re-installing the applications and then importing the data, although the long term solution will probably be something like this. In the short-term I may be better off re-installing enterprise 3 on another platform to give myself a more functional system, and then transferring the data which should be relatively easy across 2 identical versions? thanks again Tony - From rstevens at vitalstream.com Mon May 22 16:57:34 2006 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Mon, 22 May 2006 09:57:34 -0700 Subject: enterprise 3 install/upgrade question In-Reply-To: <4471DA79.4010902@foe.co.uk> References: <4471DA79.4010902@foe.co.uk> Message-ID: <1148317054.5498.109.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Mon, 2006-05-22 at 16:36 +0100, Tony Canning wrote: > On Thu, 2006-05-11 at 11:08 +0100, Tony Canning wrote: > > >> I have been asked to maintain and support a Dell Poweredge 2550 running > >> Redhat Enterprise 3.

Ah, one of the curses. You can, of course, download and install CentOS 3.6. That's essentially a white-box Enterprise 3 Update 6 distro, built from the Red Hat source code (with a few tweaks to make it CentOSish--logos and the like). There is no support, of course, but it sounds a bit like you didn't use it anyway. :-) The CentOS folk do pretty regular updates, supported by "yum" (a'la Fedora Core). > >> Those are some ideas.

Perhaps. As I said, CentOS 3.6 is a good bet for you if you don't need the telephone support. I'm not sure how long ES3 will be supported by Red Hat anyway...they have ES/AS4 update 3 out there now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From htin at jcm-american.com Mon May 22 17:43:50 2006 From: htin at jcm-american.com (Han Tin) Date: Mon, 22 May 2006 10:43:50 -0700 Subject: Man page Message-ID: Rick, When I installed RHL, I answered the Languages correctly.

Unless the DS4100 has arbitration logic, you can't simply hook two systems up to it and expect it to work. It's not a network...each system expects to have the disks to itself and they're colliding. Its the same thing as plugging two computers onto an external SCSI disk...they'll collide. You need to see if the DS4100 has arbitration logic and if so, you have to configure it. If not, you need to look at something like GFS (global file system) which allows multiple systems to share storage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't TOUCH anything!" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From j.wirt.112 at comcast.net Thu May 25 04:58:28 2006 From: j.wirt.112 at comcast.net (John Wirt) Date: Thu, 25 May 2006 00:58:28 -0400 Subject: Redhat NTPD Clock In-Reply-To: <44747657.9050204@sjsears.com> References: <20060524132746.6950.qmail@webmail7.rediffmail.com> <44747657.9050204@sjsears.com> Message-ID: <44753974.8040105@comcast.net> Thanks you several of you, I have RedHat booting to completion just fine except for one problem.

This DVD is broken so I have to do the installation from an external USB NEC DVD-RW. The installation process starts without problems from that, I can see the boot screen, press intro and kernel boots up. I can see a text message "Loading ohci1394 driver", after that I have to select a language, after that I select keyboard type and here comes the problem, installation request me to select "the installation method", obviously I select CD/DVD and installation program says "CD not found". It is trying to find the DVD into the broken pionner DVD (a message "trying to mount /dev/hdc" can be seen in one of the messages screens ALT+F3) and I don`t know how to make it to look for DVD in external NEC DVD. I've tried to boot in expert mode, boot: expert but I couldn`t find a command shell anywhere. I've also tried to load usbcore and/or usb_storage at booting time with module=usbcore module=usb_storage but it didn't work. Any ideas?? Thanks a lot.

It appears that I am constantly connecting and disconnecting to the SAN Storage. I am using SFNet driver Version 4:0.1.11-3 (02-May-2006). To make myself clearer each time I launch the driver service (SFNET) I am constantly connecting and disconnecting to the SAN. here is my /var/log/messages: May 19 10:29:09 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connection to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 closed May 19 10:29:09 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connected to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 May 19 10:29:39 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connection to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 closed May 19 10:29:39 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connected to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 May 19 10:30:09 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connection to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 closed May 19 10:30:09 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connected to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 May 19 10:30:39 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connection to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 closed May 19 10:30:39 database-cluster-node1 iscsid[2515]: Connected to Discovery Address 205.219.64.1 So every 30 seconds I am trying to connect and my connection is closed then I am reconnected. I set the connection to the SAN to be constant or continuous because If I am disconnected from the SAN, I will like to be connected automatically as well. I thought it was coming from some configuration file and basically this one : /etc/iscsi.conf: # Timeout options # Configuration Options LoginTimeout=25 ActiveTimeout=25 IdleTimeout=180 PingTimeout=15 HeaderDigest=prefer-off DataDigest=prefer-off # We want to automate the connection # If a Connection to the SAN is broken we want to reestablish # automatically a new connection Continuous=yes DiscoveryAddress=205.219.64.1 OutgoingUsername=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx perenety.com OutgoingPassword=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I do not thing the problem is coming from the cluster set-up. But let me describe how it is, I have two servers running the cluster server on both machines. One of them is owning the Service (Server A), and the other one is a cluster member. When Server B is dead, Server A is acknowledging from its dead status. The problem is Server B is not taking the relay on the Service that is supposed to be shared (GFS). Only one of Server A and B is able to see the Service running on the cluster configuration.

How can I fix it? You must have the firewall open ports for TCP and UDP port 53 (DNS). What's probably happening is that the system is trying to resolve clock.redhat.com (66.187.224.4 and 66.187.233.4) and can't because the firewall is blocking DNS issues. This happens if you used the "maximum" setting on system-config-securitylevel as that blocks EVERYTHING (including DNS). Use the "medium" security setting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Thu May 25 18:00:46 2006 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Thu, 25 May 2006 11:00:46 -0700 Subject: problem installing fedora core 4 from USB DVD In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1148580046.16873.10.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Thu, 2006-05-25 at 09:06 +0200, S?nchez P?rez, Gustavo wrote: > Hello all, > > I'm using a laptot (Acer aspire 1355LM), which has an internal > DVD (pionner).

The shell can be found if you press "ALT-F3" during the install process.

You can toss all the rpms into a network install tree and just point at it so why wouldn't pointing your installation to the same tree on your usb stick work?

Here is something I have done. Install Damn Small Linux (DSL) onto your usb stick. That should allow you to use the whole stick. Add the kernel and ram disk images from the boot.iso or diskboot.img matching your version including update level and tweak the syslinux.cfg file adding new boot prompt targets for you to boot the RHEL installer. Once you get that working I don't see any reason (except possibly space constraints) that you can't install a local installation tree from which to do your install. Be sure to let us know if you get this working!

Actually I don't think it is a disk problem, I just download DVD iso image from a fedora mirror, executed sha1sum and I burned it to a DVD, no problem in this process. On the other hand if I try to install from this DVD-disk in a desktop PC with an internal operational DVD-reader there's no problem, after select the instalation method, anaconda starts graphics mode and installation progress without problems. The problem is, I think, that the kernel which installation boots up doesn't load usb modules, so it can't find /dev/scd0 or simillar when I select cd-rom media as installation method. It is looking just in /dev/hdc which in fact is the laptop DVD-broken-reader (I can't use that). If I start with linux expert and press ALT+F3 I can see messages but no prompt is presented, same as ALT+F4 where I can see messeges like the kernel ones. At the beggining of the instalation process, when prompt boot: is presented I've tried things like boot: linux expert noapic module=usbcore nofb boot: linux expert noapic module=usb-storage nofb boot: linux expert boot: expert usb_storage boot: expert none of them worked :-( How can I say that the kernel should load de usb mass storage module/s in order to install from the external usb-dvd-drive??? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advertencia / Confidentiality Notice Este env?o es confidencial y est? destinado ?nicamente a la persona a la que ha sido enviado.

Needing the iso images may still not be a deal breaker depending on what exactly is needed for the install. I'm a bit afraid that installing from a usb stick may take about a week to actually do though as my experience with RHEL and USB sticks/disks has not been very good. > shame if they changed it...

Make sure /etc/sysconfig/network has GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 in it with NO SPACES (remember, it's a shell variable definition...no spaces allowed). Also verify you don't have a "GATEWAY=" line in any of your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - "Microsoft is a cross between The Borg and the Ferengi. - - Unfortunately they use Borg to do their marketing and Ferengi to - - do their programming." -- Simon Slavin - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From htin at jcm-american.com Fri May 26 23:02:38 2006 From: htin at jcm-american.com (Han Tin) Date: Fri, 26 May 2006 16:02:38 -0700 Subject: Kernel information - Message-ID: rpm -q kernel-headers kernel-ibcs kernel-pcmcia-cs \ kernel-source > /current-kernel-pkgs.txt cat /current-kernel-pkgs.txt Result from the above command. package kernel-headers is not installed package kernel-ibcs is not installed package kernel-pcmcia-cs is not installed package kernel-source is not installed How will I get it right.

In the future, PLEASE include which version of Linux you're working with. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, and Fedora Core releases 2 through 5 use a V2.6 kernel, previous versions used either the 2.2 or 2.4 kernels. With the kernel change, things got changed in packages as well. The "kernel-headers" became "kernel-devel". The "icbs" and "pcmcia" stuff was rolled into the kernel RPM proper. The "kernel-source" RPM was done away with. You have to go get the kernel-whatever.src.rpm file via either "up2date" or "yum". This is all explained in the release notes. Please read them. If you need to rebuild a kernel from the kernel-xxxxxx.src.rpm, please see http://www.rhil.net/docs/kernelbuild-26.html for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - When in doubt, mumble. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From j.wirt.112 at comcast.net Sat May 27 01:53:31 2006 From: j.wirt.112 at comcast.net (John Wirt) Date: Fri, 26 May 2006 21:53:31 -0400 Subject: Redhat NTPD Clock In-Reply-To: <1148661398.16873.38.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> References: <20060524132746.6950.qmail@webmail7.rediffmail.com> <44747657.9050204@sjsears.com> <44753974.8040105@comcast.net> <1148579830.16873.6.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> <44765961.20807@comcast.net> <1148661398.16873.38.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> Message-ID: <4477B11B.7090600@comcast.net> Rick Stevens wrote: >On Thu, 2006-05-25 at 21:26 -0400, John Wirt wrote: > > >>Hmm..can you tell me how to set the security level? >> >>Thank you, Rick. >> >> > >Become the root user: > > $ su - > (enter root's password here) > >>From there (assuming RHEL 3, RHEL4 or FC2-5), run: > > # system-config-securitylevel > > > I did this.

Type in $ iptables -L to list your current ruleset. If it balks you might have to add the appropriate path. /sbin/iptables -L might work. Check to see if port 53 (DNS) is blocked. Do a "$ man iptables" to learn how to use iptables effectively. There are also som tutorials floating round the web.

I properly download the easy ISO images of RH WS4U3 from the security RH network page 2. I check using md5sum that downloaded images were all right. 3. md5sum numbers agreed with the ones form RH network easy ISO images. In fact, I copy and paste md5sum numbers in separate files for each image including the ISO file name and the results were OK for all the images. 4. I am assuming that images were download all right and are in good conditions to be burned. 5. Using cdrecord I burned the images into CDs using the following command: cdrecord -v -dao dev=0,0,0 ISO-IMAGE-FILE.iso Please, notice that I use cdrecord -scanbus first to identify dev unit 6. When I start with the installation, I did media check and CDs: CD2, CD3, CD4 failed. 7. I have accentually burned about 6 times the CD2 with the same result. 8. I downloaded two times more the images and checked and they were correct. 9. I have tested to burned them in different CD units and I got the same result 10. Notice that disk1, that is, boot disk created from first image file works fine. Could you please help me to create a proper set of CDs from the ISO images? Alternatively, I have created a 4 GB partition in the hard disk. I have put ISO images on that partition. I boot with the CD#1 and when I tried to do the installation form the hard disk, pointing to ISO image file, system responds that is not valid and fails. Could you please provide me the procedure (in addition please) of how can I do the installation from an existing partition and using the graphical interface? Thank you very much in advance.

Some configuration file is apparently missing or is not correct. Can/should I fix this? Linux apparently runs fine and I have detected no file read/saving problems. I have 3 SCSI drives in my system but two of them are configured into a RAID 1 configuration that boots to XP. The third drive is separate and boots to Redhat Enterprise v.3. The boot manager is BOOTIT-NG. This works fine. Apparently, dkms is, "*dkms* is a framework which allows kernel modules to be dynamically built for each kernel on your system in a simplified and organized fashion." The Linux installation I am running was originally configured to run two of the SCSI drives but I reconfigured it to run one of the drives by editing fstab, as I recall.

"fdisk -l" (that's "ell" as in list) will tell you. Most likely it used just two partitions, one for /boot and one for the rest that it used LVM to subdivide. To find out how that's allocated, run "vgdisplan" and "lvscan". Actually, you don't want (IMHO) to make hard partitions as above. It likely made one large logical volume for / and everything in it. You should reduce the size of the logical volume containing / to make room for new logical volumes for /home and /var. Swap is probably already properly sized.

Of course, this means that the activation should be made without using the root filrsystem or anything on it. Therefore, the LVM activation should be done from the initrd image (and the image should be appropriately made for that purpose), because it is passed to the kernel by bootloader and is accessible without the need for the root filesystem. Anyway, you usually does not need to prepare such an initrd image manually because all current distributions have the LVM support already built in the shipped initrd images and mkinird scripts.

The configuration tools may rewrite configuration files deleting the changes that you made manually. Also the confiiguraton tools may refuse to run if your manual configuration is unexpected by the tools - usually, automated tool support only a subset of all the configurations supported by the configuration file syntax.

If you are not in a GUI situation (run level 2 or 3), it uses ASCII art (curses) to draw quasi-graphic stuff on the screen. The system-config-xxx tools are the safest to use at this time. Learning command line basics is important to a sysadmin, as there are things you can do on the command line that a GUI tool simply can't (or won't) provide. Config files are a different kettle of fish. There are so many and their formats vary widely. I know a lot of the ones you play with most often (fstab, inittab, passwd, group, shadow, network configuration [ifcfg-ethX], routes, etc.) by heart, but by no means do I know them all--and I've been a sysadmin for 30 years. The best thing is to learn to a) make a backup copy of the file BEFORE you start banging on it; and b) use the man pages for the program and/or config file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue May 30 17:34:45 2006 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 10:34:45 -0700 Subject: Redhat NTPD Clock In-Reply-To: <4477B11B.7090600@comcast.net> References: <20060524132746.6950.qmail@webmail7.rediffmail.com> <44747657.9050204@sjsears.com> <44753974.8040105@comcast.net> <1148579830.16873.6.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> <44765961.20807@comcast.net> <1148661398.16873.38.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> <4477B11B.7090600@comcast.net> Message-ID: <1149010485.16873.135.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Fri, 2006-05-26 at 21:53 -0400, John Wirt wrote: > > Rick Stevens wrote: > > >On Thu, 2006-05-25 at 21:26 -0400, John Wirt wrote: > > > > > >>Hmm..can you tell me how to set the security level? > >> > >>Thank you, Rick. > >> > >> > > > >Become the root user: > > > > $ su - > > (enter root's password here) > > > >>From there (assuming RHEL 3, RHEL4 or FC2-5), run: > > > > # system-config-securitylevel > > > > > > > I did this.

Well, there's several issues possible. First, make sure you are using name-brand 700MB (80 minute) CD-R media. The "cheap stuff" won't cut it. Second, try not using "-dao" mode. Third, try slowing down the burn speed (try using 1/2 the rated speed of your drive..for a 48x drive, try "speed=24" or even less). > Alternatively, I have created a 4 GB partition in the hard disk.

All of the ISO images must be on that partition and they must be named EXACTLY the same as they were when downloaded (same capitalization and everything). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at vitalstream.com Tue May 30 18:08:59 2006 From: rstevens at vitalstream.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 11:08:59 -0700 Subject: ctrl+alt+[f1 to f6] not working??

You only need to use CTRL-ALT-F1 through -F6 when you are going from a GUI (X windows) display to a text console. Once you're in the text console, just use ALT-F1 through -F6 to switch between them (don't hold down CTRL). Also make sure that the text consoles are enabled. Do: cat /etc/inittab You SHOULD see lines such as 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3 4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4 5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5 6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6 If not, then add those to the bottom of the file (be VERY careful about this...if you screw up the inittab, your system may go crazy) and enter "telinit q" as the root user to get the system to reread the file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - The world is coming to an end ...

If by "reconfigure these directories" you mean moving directory contents to other partitions or logical volumes and then mounting them to those directories, the answer is yes. Exception: If you have some backup script that does something like cd / find . -mount -depth | cpio -oBc .... it will not back up filesystems mounted anywhere on the root (/) tree. For instance, if /home and /var are on separate filesystems, you'd need to find . home var -mount -depth | cpio -oBc .... Or you could do without the "-mount" option. > John > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- > >- Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens at vitalstream.com - > >- VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - > >- - > >- The moving cursor writes, and having written, blinks on. - > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. bob at bobcatos.com http://www.bobcatos.com Jesus wasn't (and isn't) politically correct.
