[389-users] Replication doubts

2014-08-04 Thread Alberto Viana
Hi,

I want to enable a replication to a specific subtree on my directory, how
do I proceed?

For example:

I have my root suffix

dc=homolog,dc=rnp

And just want do enable replication for

ou=teste,dc=homolog,dc=rnp

Is that possible?


Thanks

Not exactly.  You would have to create a sub suffix called
ou=teste,dc=homolog,dc=rnp  - this is basically another database, but
it should appear seamless to an external client.  Then enable
replication for the new sub suffix, and proceed with the replication
config as usual.

I have set Klipper to save 500 entries. It is triggered with a Ctrl+` on my 
system. And you could search through the Klipper history just by typing. If 
you enable synchronize primary selection with clipboard you will never have 
to do Ctrl-C to copy just select and it will be copied. And then you can 
trigger Klipper anywhere your mouse is by using shortcut Ctrl+`, search and 
paste.

It's perfectly legal. Whether it means anything or not depends on the
existence or otherwise of a directory called /... (the closing '/' is

You cannot determine if a usb wifi dongle is supported by linux by
just plugging it in, nor by brand name.
You have to know the chipset inside it.


And when you are in the store, I suppose you then google what you see on 
the shelf?




For example, see
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers
and since you are looking specifically for USB dongles, see

D-link use to be very bad this way.  They would change chip set and not 
change even the product model number.  So you would go to update the 
firmware and brick your adapter.  They have since figured out that you 
really need to keep your consumer informed.

I got this one here a couple of months ago:

https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-usb-adapter-gnu-linux-tpe-n150usb

Good thing is that you know the actual chip you are buying. The dongle
worked out-of-the-box with F19 and F20, also as AP, which was my main
requirement. It's slightly above your 20 USD limit though.

I can recommend this one:

installed quite a few of these, all worked great, no obscure chipsets 
encountered (yet), cheap and has external antenna.

 Clean the disc, or clean the drive?  Sometimes cleaning a drive improves
 things with some discs, when the drive is apparently working fault free
 with other discs (they're probably more readable).  If it's a laptop
 drive, where the laser mechanism is accessible, careful hand cleaning is
 better than one of those discs with a brush glued to it (they bash into

 Or you could have some particular discs that are bordering on the edge
 of being readable, that work sometimes, but other machines are less
 forgiving.  
 
 Some disc and drive combinations are not too compatible, though I
 haven't heard that kind of complaint for a while.  I always use the best
 discs that I can get, because I hated having to deal with that problem.
 Some people just use the cheapest.

just a quick thinking, you do have 
linux-firmware-20140605-38.gita4f3bc03.fc20.noarch or similar installed? 
Since this model needs http://wireless.kernel.org/download/htc_fw/1.3/

 consistent.  e.g. Out of a specific model number modem, some of them
 could be Lucent chipsets, the rest something else.

Robert Moskowitz:
 D-link use to be very bad this way.  They would change chip set and
 not change even the product model number.  So you would go to update
 the firmware and brick your adapter.  They have since figured out that
 you really need to keep your consumer informed.

Way back when I had a brief dalliance with Win98, I had an internal
modem that came with a driver disk full of drivers for a plethora of
completely different hardware, and several different drivers for your
modem, depending on what chipset it had.  You had to look at your PCI
card to determine the chipset, because the software didn't do that for
you.  Then you had the run the right driver install from the CD-ROM.
Some of the directories were just oddball lists of letters and numbers,
with no damn clue what they were for.  All that crap just to use
something you'd bought.

The alternative was to let Windows scan through the entire disc, and see
if it could find something that suited it.  Various bits of hardware was
like that (graphics card, anything).  Sometimes it'd find nothing,
sometimes it'd fixate on the wrong thing.

I have never regretted giving Windows the heave-ho.

I use a TP-Link TL-WN725N v2. It works, but not out of the box. The
in-kernel driver didn't work for me, although that could have been a
bad interaction with the (non-functional) builtin wireless in the
laptop. But compiling an external r8188eu driver worked fine for me.

Re: Mesa-10.2.5 was released - while Fedora still ships 10.1 :/

Especially with the accelerated release cycle of Mesa, it would be
great if Fedora could keep up in the same manner as it does with the
kernel.
Mesa 10.1 is effectively dead with 10.2 beeing considered old, stable
and boring now.
So the descision is not between shipping stable/proven versions vs.
bleeding edge, but rather shipping outdated stuff vs maintained stable
versions;)


You can CC to the RFE bug and see if the maintainer wishes to update or not. 
Please refrain from adding me, too type of comments, though. :)

Since the primary use of this dongle will be on a F21 test system, 
compiling driver might be a all too often process.  And it is for an 
armv7 box at that!

Not that I can tell.  rPi is an armv5 with the developers needing to 
backport everything.  The F21 development is targeting the armv7.  I 
have a cubieboard2; I have worked with the uboot support person to get 
the uboot I need for it, as the only cubie currently supported in the 
build is the cubietruck.  There are a scad of reasons why I selected the 
cubie, though we are all a bit unhappy with the Allwinner A80 soc as it 
seems they dropped sata support.  But the development is not done, so we 
will see.

Re: Fedora power management

2014-08-04 Thread CLOSE Dave
I asked:

 Is there a way to keep the power management function active even
 when no one is logged into the console?

On 08/02/2014 08:19 AM, Tim wrote:

 Perhaps you can configure power management options for the kdm user
 (that which the KDM logon screen runs as)?  Assuming that kdm works
 in a similar way as GDM does.

So far as I can tell, there is no KDM user. Certainly there is no such
user in /etc/passwd and no active process has such an owner. It appears
that the login screen runs as root. In any case, KDE is not running
until someone logs in. You can observe the KDE startup process after
logging-in.

So, although I mentioned that the machine uses KDE, I doubt that is
relevant. I'm just trying to get a laptop, plugged into mains power,
never to go into a suspended state, whether or not someone is logged
into its console. As the machine is on the network, it is possible for a
remote user to cause a reboot. After that, even if the KDE power manager
was running for a console user before the boot, it isn't running after
the boot, so KDE's power management can't help at that time.

Perhaps I'm asking the wrong question or implying an answer that isn't
helpful. Rather than my initial question, perhaps I should have asked,

Is there a way to prevent an unattended laptop from going into suspend
even when no one is logged into the console?

 I have some laptops running F20/KDE which, among other purposes, are

 function must continue to run so that remote users can reach the private
 network. So I need to prevent these laptops from going to sleep.

 It appears that KDE's power management function applies to the user
 logged into the console. If a user is logged in, I can easily prevent
 sleep. But if the user logs out or the laptop is booted by a remote
 user, no power management seems to be active and they eventually go to
 sleep.

What display manager are you using?  `systemctl show
display-manager.service -pId` will tell you.

KDM is the default display manager on the Fedora KDE spin, and KDM is
ancient and crufty and doesn't even do power management, so I don't
think you're using it?

I'm pretty sure you have to either be using GDM or lightdm to even
have power management on the login screen, in which case switching to
KDM (`yum install kdm  systemctl enable --force kdm.service`) would
be an easy workaround.
