Make sure you have the window list applet running. Just right click on the bottom panel, click on "Add to Panel", scroll down to "Window List", click on it and click "Add".

Your BIOS must support booting from USB disks, however, and not all do. I have both an 8GB and a 16GB thumbdrive I've used and they work fine. I also bought a USB-based DVD/RW drive for $40 that works a treat. I recommend you get one of those. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward getting - - medicated for it. -- Jim Evarts (http://www.TopFive.com) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at internap.com Fri Sep 7 00:57:21 2007 From: rstevens at internap.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Thu, 06 Sep 2007 17:57:21 -0700 Subject: ubs mem stick install In-Reply-To: <20070906204527.GA348@bobcat.bobcatos.com> References: <1189110920.2361.4.camel@localhost.localdomain> <20070906204527.GA348@bobcat.bobcatos.com> Message-ID: <1189126641.5022.115.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Thu, 2007-09-06 at 15:45 -0500, Bob McClure Jr wrote: > On Thu, Sep 06, 2007 at 03:35:19PM -0500, Fred Grant wrote: > > First, I noticed Rick has a new web address and I hope that is a good > > thing! > > > > I keep reading about linux ubs systems. > > Do you mean USB?

The live CD is designed to be burned to a CD as it's an ISO file (CD ROM image file). I suggested it as you said you didn't have a DVD but I assumed you may have had a CD drive. The nice thing about the live CD is that you can "try it first" and install to hard drive if you like it. If you want to install and bypass the "try it first" stuff, you can do a network install using a USB thumbdrive. Download the "diskboot.img" file from one of the mirrors and copy that to your thumbdrive using "dd" or (under DOS/Windows), "rawrite". You can boot the thumbdrive and do a network install. Have a look at this page: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f7/en_US/sn-which-files.html Try to figure out what you want to do and we'll do what we can to help. think it'd work, however.

A thumb drive will appear as an HDD, so if those are the options under USB boot devices, yes. You do have some work to do: 1. Download the "diskboot.img" file from one of the repositories 2. Use some program to copy the image file to the thumb drive. Under DOS or Windows, find a copy of "rawrite" and use it. Under Linux, use "dd", e.g.: dd if=/path/to/diskboot.img of=/dev/sda bs=512 That assumes that the thumb drive showed up as /dev/sda. Use the "dmesg" command to display where the kernel actually found it. 3. Plug the thumb drive into the target machine. 4. Reboot the target machine. If the system already has a bootable OS on the hard drive, change the boot order in the BIOS screen to boot the USB drive first. If there is no bootable OS on the hard drive, you can skip this step. 5. Follow the prompts at the boot screen you see. Again, for about $40 you can get an external USB DVD/RW drive. They're REALLY handy to have around. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - "I was remembering the immortal words of Socrates when he said, - - 'I drank what?'" -- Val Kilmer in "Real Genius" - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From fgrant at powercom.net Fri Sep 7 23:05:30 2007 From: fgrant at powercom.net (Fred Grant) Date: Fri, 07 Sep 2007 18:05:30 -0500 Subject: ubs mem stick install In-Reply-To: <1189197819.31171.20.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> References: <1189110920.2361.4.camel@localhost.localdomain> <20070906204527.GA348@bobcat.bobcatos.com> <1189126641.5022.115.camel@p rophead.corp.publichost.com> <1189171369.2912.6.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1189186768.29112.22.camel@prophead.corp.publichost .com> <1189193726.2728.2.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1189197819.31171.20.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> Message-ID: <1189206330.4796.2.camel@localhost.localdomain> On Fri, 2007-09-07 at 13:43 -0700, Rick Stevens wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I keep reading about linux ubs systems. > > > > > > > > > > > > Do you mean USB?

Trying to sort out some other mechanism to load software can be a royal pain (getting a CD/DVD ISO image to install on a thumb drive being just one of them). Having an external USB or firewire DVD drive can be very handy for machines that don't have them. For example, we have about 800 Dell 1850s and 2850s that don't have DVD drives. If we need to install software on any of them and that stuff comes on a DVD, that's a problem. Network installs aren't always an option in our business. So, we wander over to the machine with a USB-based drive and do what needs to be done. I've mandated that we have two USB-based drives in each data center...a 500GB to 1TB USB hard drive (for immediate backups) and a USB CD/DVD rewritable drive (for software installs, archival backups, etc.). I found one company that actually makes a 500GB drive and DVD+-RW in one box. We have two of them. No, I can't recall who makes it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - If at first you don't succeed, quit.

Uhm, hmmm. There's two possibilities. One is that the installer isn't recognizing your DVD drive properly (probably not likely). The second is that your hard drive is a on a SATA controller it doesn't recognize (more probably). Unfortunately, I can't find that model on Toshiba's website, so I don't know which chipset it uses (probably Intel). The first thing you should do is make sure you have the latest BIOS installed on the laptop. Second, try setting the SATA controller to "Legacy" mode in the BIOS and retry your installation.

Well, looking at those specs, the primary things I see are the size of the HDD (5GB is awfully damned small) and the maximum RAM (160MB is too small for a GUI-based install). You may be out of luck for an F7 install on that hardware. The minimum specs for F7 are: Text install: 128MB and a 200MHz processor GUI install: 192MB and a 400MHz processor. Customized installs can occupy as little as 90MB, 275MB for an "everything" install, and 9GB for all packages. For a machine of that vintage and size, I'd recommend you install something like TinyLinux or one of the others from this list: http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/Mini_Distributions/ Sorry about that! > > Rick Stevens wrote: > On Mon, 2007-09-10 at 15:21 -0700, Tony Robbins wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I'm installing Fedora 7 on a Toshiba Tecra 750DVD directly > from the > > DVD (i.e. not Live).

You have a domain that you got with Network Solutions. That includes DNS that you can use with your 5 static IPs.

I hosted a few clients with special requirements and limited needs( mail, ftp, news). I had it working with one static IP and a local network behind the firewall. ( It also worked with dynamic ip). I got my static ips through comcast (the only decent bandwidth available) because I had the opportunity to grow to a cost effective size. I initially thought I could use the static ips for client computers exposed to the world. So I have static ips from comcast and comcast?s dns servers, domains from networksolutions and their domain servers and my domain servers. The comcast connection has been a problem. It goes down a lot and the gateway router often resets the configuration to default. I am not certain how comcast expects my static ips to be used. I offloaded my clients to one of the mega sites while I rethink these configuration issues. If you come up with something that works let me know.

However a little drift is good some times... If you are doing email, be sure to make sure comcast or whoever has the reverse dns set up. Not having a valid reverse dns can end up with your email being marked as spam etc. If you have clients as in someone you are helping... I set some clients (friends or at least still friends ;-) ) up with Google apps. They mostly wanted email with a bit of web site. They have dns one with network solutions the other with godaddy. I put some stuff on one of my machines that is on a static IP from AT&T/sbcglobal. Point to another host in their dns with my IP and that works, but is not complex. Google apps is ok but I tried using it for our domain and have to dump it for now. The web hosting that comes with does not give you folders and we will wait a year to see what they come up with. I had static IPs from a cable provider but eventually had to dump them when I found that many of my problems with aol were charter was selling me static IPs in a dynamic range and felt real justified that I was paying a lot more and not helping with the aol problems for months and months till aol started pushing hard. sigh Gary -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You can run the lot on a single server, depending on how much traffic you get. You said you got five static IP addresses. I'd use two of them at first, one for DNS services and one for HTTP services. If you wish to use a single box with a single NIC, then you can use aliases on the NIC to give it both IPs. Note that what I'm talking about here is really, really baseline. This sort of topic really isn't appropriate for this list. If you need more details, I sure several others will offer to help off-list. A really important thing to note is that while you CAN have one machine listening on multiple IP addresses, you CAN'T have multiple machines listening to a single IP address. If there's a chance that you might need to migrate services of some type to another machine in the future due to load, then set up a separate IP for those services NOW so your clients don't have to futz with stuff and you don't need to change DNS entries. Yes, you can use a port forwarder to forward traffic of a specific type to a separate machine, unless you use direct server return (DSR), all traffic will still have to go through the port forwarder and that can bog it down. Note also that some traffic does not respond well to DSR. Assume you got IP addresses 1.2.3.1, 1.2.3.2, 1.2.3.3, 1.2.3.4 and 1.2.3.5. I'd use 1.2.3.1 for the DNS service and make that the primary IP on the box, essentially "ifconfig eth0 1.2.3.1 netmask ..." I'd use 1.2.3.2 as an alias on that NIC for web traffic ("ifconfig eth0:1 1.2.3.2 netmask..."). If you find your traffic level gets so high that the box can't keep up, you set up a second box to handle web services, give it the second IP address you had on the primary box (disable that IP on the primary box) and thus split the traffic. Next, you need to set up bind (named) on the server to serve your zone and those of your customers. Once you're certain you have that functioning correctly, you should inform the whois service at Network Solutions that your DNS server will be the primary DNS for the zones involved. Essentially, when someone registers a domain the primary DNS server for the zone will be your machine at 1.2.3.1. I'd recommend you get the O'Reilly book, "DNS and BIND". It's excellent. Next, you have to configure Apache to serve the various domains. You can use HTTP's hostheader mechanism (what Apache calls "virtual hosts") to have multiple domains assigned to a single IP (using the above, 1.2.3.2). For an example, we have well over 8,000 domains on a single IP. Granted the IP is the virtual IP for a cluster of servers to handle load balancing and redundancy (we handle millions of hits per second)-- but we are a major ISP, after all. :-) Providing mail services can be a really nasty situation and isn't one for the faint of heart. Don't even offer mail services to your clients unless you REALLY know what you're doing (email issues easily generate 80% of client complaints). If you decide to do that, then you can run it on one of the machines you already have set up. You may want to burn another of your IP addresses for mail operations...again because you may wish to split it off to another machine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - They say when you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you'll hear - - Satanic messages, but if you play it forwards, it will install - - Windows...which means Satan is in your system. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From gnichols5 at gmail.com Sat Sep 15 04:51:39 2007 From: gnichols5 at gmail.com (Graeme Nichols) Date: Sat, 15 Sep 2007 14:51:39 +1000 Subject: Missing Freshclam after upgrade to clamav-0.90.3-1.fc7 Message-ID: <9842a7f70709142151h564a81b1w5a6b1aedd0ac0501@mail.gmail.com> Hi all, I have just updated to the above version of clamav using yum.

The programs are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use with your own software. The virus database is based on the virus database from OpenAntiVirus, but contains additional signatures (including signatures for popular polymorphic viruses, too) and is KEPT UP TO DATE.

Do you mean hda? Or hda1? I didn't think you could boot LVM partitions. Let's be clear on this. An LVM partition is somewhat like an extended partition in that it does not contain any kind of filesystem. It does, however, contain one or more logical volumes each of which which may contain a filesystem. Customarily, there is (at least) one plain linux partition with an ext[23] filesystem on it, which is designated as the /boot partition. You will likely have another partition, type LVM, which contains one or more logical volumes containing filesystems for /, /home, etc. Still, you would normally install grub on the MBR of that disk, e.g., for /dev/hda grub-install /dev/hda Care to share a bit more information about your desired setup? > Grub doesn't > seem to recognize it. > > Any ideas? > > Thanks > > -- > Fred Cheers, -- Bob McClure, Jr. Bobcat Open Systems, Inc. bob at bobcatos.com http://www.bobcatos.com When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.

Grub must be installed in the MBR or in the beginning of a standard filesystem...not something layered on top of LVM.

Also check the output of the "dmesg" command. Another option is to run the startup in interactive mode (press "I" when the system prompts during boot). For each startup script, the system will ask you if you want to run it, skip it or go back to "automatic" mode. Run them one at a time and look at the output of each. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - Do you know how to save five drowning lawyers?

I'd appreciate > any comments you might have Hmmm. Upgrades are spotty at best. I've done a few and gotten them to work, but not without a struggle. The most common problem is that the system doesn't purge old FC5-based RPMs from the database and the system will try to continue to update those old RPMs and run into a lot of conflicts, dependency issues, etc. Some config files don't get updated, the ld config isn't always updated cleanly, the yum repositories are different, etc., etc. Keep in mind that F7 uses some FC6 RPMs, either because the old FC6 rpm was adequate and there was no need to spin an F7-specific one, or the functionality was moved to a different RPM. To be honest, I'd do a fresh install of F7. FC5->FC6 is probably doable with minor efforts. FC6->F7 is doable as well (this machine is an FC6->F7 upgrade). FC5->F7 is probably too much of a jump. That being said, if you have a good backup and you have the time to futz with it, give 'er a go! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - 500: Internal Fortune Cookie Error - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at internap.com Tue Sep 18 22:15:15 2007 From: rstevens at internap.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 15:15:15 -0700 Subject: install grub on LVM In-Reply-To: <20070918212301.GB2659@bobcat.bobcatos.com> References: <1190115561.2677.2.camel@localhost.localdomain> <20070918150216.GA17803@bobcat.bobcatos.com> <1190149838.3513.17.camel@ localhost.localdomain> <20070918212301.GB2659@bobcat.bobcatos.com> Message-ID: <1190153715.19859.43.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Tue, 2007-09-18 at 16:23 -0500, Bob McClure Jr wrote: > On Tue, Sep 18, 2007 at 04:10:37PM -0500, Fred Grant wrote: > > On Tue, 2007-09-18 at 10:02 -0500, Bob McClure Jr wrote: > > > On Tue, Sep 18, 2007 at 06:39:20AM -0500, Fred Grant wrote: > > > > I want to install grub on hd1 boot partition which is LVM. > > OK it's not LVM, it's ext3.

Rick has a lot more experience with > that and can probably tell you exactly. Hoo boy! It depends on the BIOS. First, keep in mind that grub doesn't know about hda, hdb, etc. as those are what the Linux kernel calls them. In fact, there is no "hd" stuff in the F7 and later kernels. All hard drives are treated as SCSI drives and are given the names "sda", "sdb", etc. regardless of their interface type (for example, ATA is really just SCSI over IDE cables). Now this depends on the specific BIOS involved, but the vast majority give the first bootable hard drive the low-level identifier of 0x80, the second drive 0x81 and so on (this traces back to the old BDOS "int15" calls to the BIOS) and THOSE are what grub relies on (in fact, the old LILO boot loader used the "0x80"-type nomenclature). While they're called "hd(drive,partition)" in grub's config file, that's just to differentiate hard drives from floppy drives. You can think of grub's "hd(0,..." as meaning "BDOS device 0x80", and "fd(0,..." means "BDOS device 0x00". So by changing the boot order in your BIOS, you've forced it to assign your SECOND drive the 0x80 identifier and the FIRST drive the 0x81 identifier. Since Linux inherits the primary drive from the boot loader (and BIOS), it will think your SECOND drive is hda (or sda), and the FIRST drive as hdb (or sdb). I'm guessing that's probably more than you want to know, but there it is. ;-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - The Theory of Rapitivity: E=MC Hammer - - -- Glenn Marcus (via TopFive.com) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From fgrant at powercom.net Tue Sep 18 23:28:47 2007 From: fgrant at powercom.net (Fred Grant) Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 18:28:47 -0500 Subject: install grub on LVM In-Reply-To: <20070918212301.GB2659@bobcat.bobcatos.com> References: <1190115561.2677.2.camel@localhost.localdomain> <20070918150216.GA17803@bobcat.bobcatos.com> <1190149838.3513.17.camel@localhost.localdomain> <20070918212301.GB2659@bobcat.bobcatos.com> Message-ID: <1190158128.2626.5.camel@localhost.localdomain> On Tue, 2007-09-18 at 16:23 -0500, Bob McClure Jr wrote: > On Tue, Sep 18, 2007 at 04:10:37PM -0500, Fred Grant wrote: > > On Tue, 2007-09-18 at 10:02 -0500, Bob McClure Jr wrote: > > > On Tue, Sep 18, 2007 at 06:39:20AM -0500, Fred Grant wrote: > > > > I want to install grub on hd1 boot partition which is LVM. > > OK it's not LVM, it's ext3.

Proverbs 10:19 (NIV) > I believe that in fc5 there was a problem with the installation program setting up the device mapping, which caused you to not be able to boot if you were trying to set up a dual boot, ie you are booting had but linux is on hdb, and the mapping for hdb is not setup. 1. boot the rescue disk 2. go to grub directory and edit device.map. it should be obvious what you need to add, but if it is not then tell what is in the file and maybe we can help. 3. do a grub-install had 4 reboot and it should work. I maybe all wrong since I am coming to the thread really late, but this was a problem with fc5.

I'll have to see if I can tweak it. If you disabled it via "selinux=0" on the boot line or have "SELINUX=disabled" in your /etc/selinux/config file and rebooted, I can't believe SELinux is in the way. > > > Also I now boot F5 on a floppy.

You could try "acpi_skip_timer_override" or its opposite "acpi_use_timer_override". Not sure which is the best bet. Does this beastie use an nVidia chipset? There's several other options available, but not having issues myself, I can't say which may work. Here's a snapshot of the docs: acpi= [HW,ACPI,X86-64,i386] Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Format: { force | off | ht | strict | noirq } force -- enable ACPI if default was off off -- disable ACPI if default was on noirq -- do not use ACPI for IRQ routing ht -- run only enough ACPI to enable Hyper Threading strict -- Be less tolerant of platforms that are not strictly ACPI specification compliant. One other thing I might mention is to see if there's an updated BIOS for your machine and if so, install it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - You possess a mind not merely twisted, but actually sprained. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From cinetron at passport.ca Sat Sep 22 15:20:47 2007 From: cinetron at passport.ca (jim ruxton) Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2007 11:20:47 -0400 Subject: unstable system question In-Reply-To: <1190420802.5952.5.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> References: <1190308757.3807.4.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1190319875.12931.10.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> <1190320182.37 02.14.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1190348729.3706.3.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1190416110.3706.39.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1190420802.5952.5.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> Message-ID: <1190474447.3724.2.camel@localhost.localdomain> > > So far my system has stabilized since I added pci=noapci to my > > grub.conf .

CUPS configuration is done by pointing your browser (firefox) at 127.0.0.1:631 or localhost:631. I have no idea why you'd be worried about nslookup in this scenario. That's used to check DNS, not CUPS. All you have to worry about is that you have a line in /etc/hosts that reads: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost > I don't know anything about how this is supposed to work, firewall? > SELinux is off. This should have no effect, since you're using the /etc/hosts file to resolve the "localhost:631" URL above. You don't even have to have that if you use the "127.0.0.1:631" URL. However, if you do want DNS to work, then you have to have a valid /etc/resolv.conf file, iptables must allow traffic over TCP and UDP port 53 and your /etc/nsswitch.conf must contain the line: hosts: files,dns which it almost certainly does. Unless you're doing weird stuff, I'd enable SELinux--particularly if your machine is exposed to the Internet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - Do you know how to save five drowning lawyers?

To a point. You can control the colors via the "dircolors" command and use "ls --color=[auto|always|never]" to control when colors are displayed. As to the font, there is a "putty" term type in the system that should handle most of your stuff. If you really need to change it, you can run the "setfont" command. There's a bunch of fonts in the /lib/kbd/consolefonts directory. Be careful with those.

Is it because I'm using the stock FC6 kernel? Should I be compiling my own?

In other words, the kernel RPM you're installing already has that patch as part of it. If you look in the spec file from the RPM, you'll probably find that patch listed, although it may not be named the same. Patch only cares about what it actually sees in the patch file and the file to be patched...it doesn't care what the patchfile itself is named. > Why doesn't it like the patch > patch-2.6.22.9.bz2 .

Thanks, so in other words I can comment out : Patch1: patch-2.6.22.9.bz2 and still end up with a 2.6.22.9 kernel even though I'm using kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.src.rpm ? > I'm starting to think you have other issues.

I have seen another posting with someone with the same machine HP ZD7000 who made his stable by disabling powernowd but FC6 doesn't appear to use this?? jim From costrowski at wbcounsel.com Fri Sep 28 19:03:25 2007 From: costrowski at wbcounsel.com (Charles Ostrowski) Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2007 12:03:25 -0700 Subject: Acrophobia Install on Fedora Server Message-ID: I have installed Acrophobia PDF Print Server on a Fedora box. The administrator account can successfully print to any of the PDF printers (ie, they receive the PDF in the email inbox). Regular users cannot successfully print to the PDF printers (if you attempt to print a test page you get an Access Denied message). How can I change the permissions on this box to allow my regular non-administrative users to successfully print to this PDF printer? All the security appears to be okay.
