Fedora 12 on Sun Blade x6250

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Hi

I'm trying to install Fedora 12 x86_64 in a Sun Blade x6250 with PXE 
boot but the installation hangs when loading Anaconda, both in graphical 
and text mode. I'm using the Sun management tool (Sun eLOM) to do the 
network install, maybe Fedora requirements are to high to this tool, but 
does anyone knows a work around?


To test the text mode, I just added the word "text" to the end of line 
"APPEND" in pxelinux.0 file, like:

LABEL Fedora 12 x86_64
MENU LABEL Fedora 12 x86_64
KERNEL images/Fedora/12/x86_64/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=images/Fedora/12/x86_64/initrd.img 
ramdisk_size=10 text


Thanks

Marcelo

Why is it that whatever I say, there always seems to be somebody who's
only purpose is to contradict me? :) To tell you the truth, I wasn't even
aware that Fedora offered a ppc version. I thought this was a typical
Debian weirdos project.

So, tell me, OS X and Fedora being both Unices, what advantage do you see
in using Fedora over OS X?

Now that you know about Linux/Fedora, unless you need specialised software
such as Photoshop or FinalCut, would you invest again in Mac hardware?


Hi

PPC is also used to install in CellBE machines like PS3, QS22, etc. And 
the new Mac OS X is optimized for Intel, so no Snow Leopard on PPC.

Re: Problem w/ setting Sun's JVM via (g)alternatives?

Since I am trying to get Eclipse's Ganemede working
again, I am told that I would need to use Sun's JRE,
however, I opted to use the JDK instead of the JRE.

I have downloaded and installed Sun's JDK 1.6 & 1.5
into /opt and it looks good. I can via environment
setting run the java -version tests.

However

I have added the /opt/jdk[...]/bin/java to the alternatives
list in the 'java' category for both versions as follows:

/opt/jdk.1.6[...]/bin/java priority: 1000
/opt/jdk.1.5[...]/bin/java priority: 500

then selected JDK v1.6, and tried to launch Eclipse.

What resulted was a popup failure with the
relevant entry:

[...]
-vm /opt/jdk1.6.0_16/bin/../jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so
[...]
Note: the entire "barf" is at the end of the line.

Why is 'java' replaced with '../jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so'?
Yes, the -vm path exist.

Is this normal?

Side question: is the JRE instead of JDK required? I wanted
the JDK so that I can do Java development but I do not think
there is a difference except only where the jre path is different.

Thanks-
Dan

Hi

I installed the JDK-1.6u16 in my F-11, and I used the following commands:
alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_16/bin/java 2
alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac 
/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_16/bin/javac 2

alternatives --config java
alternatives --config javac

It seems that you are forgetting the 'config' part of 'alternatives'.

Western Digital external HD stange name

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Hi

When I plug my external HDD (Western Digial Passport)[1], it is mounted as:
ls /media/629a69fb-898e-4965-ba06-0294d7e24c94/
instead of /media/disk.

It is mounted as /dev/sdb1[2], so if I umount /media/62... and:
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk,
it works

Why is mounting with such strange name? How to make it mount as
/media/disk?

Thanks

Hey...

Got a situation where I'm looking to monitor processes running on different

I'm also looking for a method to be able to start/stop/enable/disable

And of course, I'd ike to be able to do all of this with a web based app!

I've started looking at nagios, which uses smnp to access the remote
servers, implementing a pull process to get the information. Webmin looks
potentially useful, but it appears to require that I setup webmin on each
server that I want to handle from the master server (master monitoring app).

Any thoughts/comments/opinions on this?

thanks

Hi

Honestly, I think Nagios is the best option. It's well established, with 
a big community, huge collection of plugins, etc


Nagios is a world of it own. It seems from your e-mail that you didn't 
explore Nagios as you should.


Unfortunately I had to switch from Nagios to OpenNMS.

[off-topic] IA32 emulation layer for Itanium2

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Hi

I'm trying to install the IA32 emulation layer for Itanium2 (HP machine) 
with RHEL WS 4.1.


Using the Release Notes of WS-4.1[1] and AS-4.3[2], it seems that the 
necessary packages are ia32el and ksh. And once installed there will be 
a directory /emul.


I installed the packages:
* ia32el-1.3-2
* ksh-20050202-0.5E.4
and started the service with "service ia32el start". But no directory 
"/emul" was created.


Did anyone had problems installing this emulation layer?

Marcelo

I installed "gv" today, and when I started, I got the following message:

I solved the problem installing the package

Maybe this font should be included in the dependencies.

Have a look at /var/lib/nfs/rmtab and other files in /var/lib/nfs/


/usr/sbin/showmount will give you a list of IP's connected.

[Off-topic]cvs hangs due a dangling nfs.

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Hi

I use automount to share a partition via NFS so every machine can mount 
this share. For example, the machine "abc" has a partitio /abc and other 
machines mounts /users/abc.


One the machines was removed (retired), but now a few clients can't use 
the CVS server. After the command "cvs history...", it simply sits and wait.


I know that the problem is in accessing the retired machine because of 
the command "strace cvs history".


Is there a way to find where is this reference to the old machine? 
Something like /etc/mtab?


Part II (Really Off-topic)
Is there a way to find which machines are client of a NFS share? So that 
before the shutdown I could umount in the clients?



Thanks

Ibex gets kernel 2.6.27 and we are still stuck with 2.6.26.

I think the KDE-3.5.10 decision demonstrates that Ubuntu developers are
more sensitive to user end needs.

I know a bunch of people are going to chime in and say "Fedora isn't for
you" and "Its a bleeding edge distribution", etc.  I think those are
just excuses for a developer community that wants to do it own thing
irregardless of what users actually want. 

Don't shoot me, I'm just the squeaky wheel/messenger. 


Hi

I think you are comparing 2 different things. You should compare Fedora 
9 with Ubuntu 8.04, and ibex with Fedora 10. I use F10 and the kernel is 
2.6.27.


I don't know about KDE because I use Gnome.

Hi

I post the same question, and the answer :
edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf

however AutomaticLogin did not work properly as released, your system 
will need to be 'yum updated' for it to work properly.


Add the section in the file :

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=your_username

If you can't yum update the system there is a workaround via a timed login :

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=your_username
TimedLoginDelay=0

And why is not present in F9:

Identical problem on F9 (2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686)

Funy thing is
picasa can run as a root user

I follwoed some tip to set

vm.mmap_min_addr = 0

in /etc/sysctl.conf
hope some offer a fix



Hi

I removed the Picasa installed with yum and used the rpm available 
instead. And now is working fine.


I had the impression that yum was picking the stable repo and not the 
testing one.

I have those installed already and am still getting the same error. The 
last time that I installed an Nvidia driver on this laptop I used an RPM

to install the driver from Nvidia "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08-pkg1.run" and 
am using Fedora 9 KDE 4.1. Anyone else have any suggestions?




The nvidia script won't work with an X session running.  You have to get to
run level 3 and run directly from the command line console screen.  It is
getting harder and harder to get out of gui to get a plain text console. 
Probably easiest for you is to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and put a blank

followed by a 3 on the line with the kernel description.  For example

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 ro root=LABEL=/ 3 vga=791 
early-login

Robert McBroom


Hi

Or you can issue the command "init 3" while X is running. This will kill 
X and you will be at the command line.


Install the driver:
# sh NVIDIA...

and reboot the machine.

F10: a few issues and suggestions

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Hi

1) After checking the dvd, it ejected and when I inserted it back to 
continue the installation, there was a message saying that the there was 
no medium. I had to reboot and skip the checking to continue the 
installation.


2) At the end of installation, the dvd didn't ejected as expected.

Suggestions:

3) I really liked the icons, but that default background (I think is the 
same in F9 and in the login screen) is horrible. I suggest to use "flow" 
as default background.


4) I liked the "silk"(?) background. If there could be a theme using it 
would be good. In certain way, something like the ubuntu theme, which I 
think if very elegant.


5) I also suggest to borrow as an extra theme the the gnome look of 
Opensuse 11. I don't know if I'll use, but at least is a interesting.


Thanks for your attention.

The last time I fooled with this, it appeared as though the -nolisten tcp
option is hard coded in the program that gdm uses to start the X server.
The best idea I've had is to replace the X server with a C program that
fiddles with the option string then exec()s the original X server
(but I haven't actually done it :-).

I ran it under strace and couldn't find anything that looked like a config
file it might be opening or trying to open to get server options.

Hi

In the page that you suggest, I read "Announcements related to the 
Fedora Project", which seems a pretty much vague.


Okay, but Fedora is the distribution released by the Fedora Project, so
related announcements should be of interest to anyone having to do
something with Fedora. The online list archive shows that only a very few
announcements have been made before.



Humm. I think you are confirming  what I said. If every user should be 
in both, since they have something to do with Fedora, why to separated 
lists?


And the other says 
"For users of Fedora", which is my case. To me don't seem logical that I 
should sign to both.


Splitting-hairs. Many more lists could be made obsolete with such
a reasoning.



OK. Maybe they should. Some house keeping once in a while is good.

The whole point is, if it is so obvious that one that signs for 
Fedora-list should also sign for Fedora-Announce, why two separated 
lists?


And who maintains the _list of lists_ to which announcements shall
be sent? Do you ask for major cross-posts to [more than] a dozen lists?



Yes, I'm talking about Fedora-Announce and Fedora-List only.


If the announces are important and concern to the users.


... not just to "the users", but also to several other target groups,
who may not be subscribed to fedora-list.

Same applies to fedora-package-announce list.


I'm not so sure if packages-announce is in the same level as 
Fedora-announce.




Even in a high volume list like "Fedora-list", if I see a header 
"[INFRASTRUCTURE TEAM - Urgent] ..." I will read the message.


Only if you read the list on a daily basis or if you know what
special subject marker to search for in your filters.


Yes. I read the list every day.

 
Maybe because English is not my native tongue, but the word 
"announcement" doesn't to suggest something that important.


Announcements at the airport or at the train-station, do you ignore
them?



If I remember right, the announcements in airports or train stations are 
made to all users and it's user's responsibility to decide what to do.


Now image the opposite situation, that you have to go to a specific 
place, a room, to have announcements. I think that the life of 
travellers would be much more difficult.

It would help a lot if someone of the infrastructure team explains what 
is going on. What raised their suspicious? What we, as users, should do?

Assume the latter and act accordingly.



This means that if I updated my systems they could be compromised and I 
need to re-install? All because the announcement was made in other list!


In any moment was clear to me, and probably others, that you have to

Subject: Important infrastructure announcement

The Fedora Infrastructure team is currently investigating an issue in
the infrastructure systems.  That process may result in service outages,
for which we apologize in advance.  We're still assessing the end-user
impact of the situation, but as a precaution, we recommend you not
download or update any additional packages on your Fedora systems.

We'll share updates as we develop more information.  Those updates will
be published here on the public fedora-announce-list:
https://redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list

Thanks for your patience as we continue working on this.


With all due respect for Paul, an announcement like this truly belongs on the 
mail list, not on some list only 2% are subbed to.




I think that Gene is absolutely right. This kind of announcement should 
be made where it can reach most of Fedora users.


A request to not update or download additional package is very serious. 
Specially because I read this after updating my to boxes. I would say 
that somewhat worry.

Marcelo.

F9 joining a windows domain

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Hi.

I' trying to join my Fedora box to the corporate Windows domain. I tried 
"Domain Membership" from Samba Documentation, but it's doesn't seems 
what I want. I want my machine simply as a client, mimicking a XP 
machine (something like this.)


I changed the lines in my /etc/samba/smb.conf:
* security = domain
* workgroup = windows
* password server = elmo

But it's not working. Does anyone knows why?

Thanks

Re: Stripes on screen after installing Fedora

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Hi.

Don't loose the faith!

Use the install DVD.

I'm pretty sure that if you do a proper installation of Fedora*, install 
the rpm from Livna, update your system and install the nvidia driver - 
not necessarily in this order - you will have a very good environment.


And keep in mind that you may have to do a little of experimentation 
yourself, this is part of learning process. Also helps you have good 
book of *nix.


Regards

Marcelo

Hi.

To install the NVIDIA driver there are 2 ways: easy and hard.

The easy (and recommended) is to use the livna repository[1].

First you have to install the rpm from the repository:
# rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm
or download the rpm, and the install it.

Then search for the driver:
# yum search nvidia
Install the package.

Update the system: yum update

Or the hard way.
I think you'll need the kernel sources.

As root, disable the X11: in a terminal, type: init 3. Go where you 
put the driver and type

sh NVIDIA...

reboot the system.

Hope this helps

Re: Stripes on screen after installing Fedora

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Hi

To install Fedora, I download the install x86 (32bit) and install it. In 
general is a matter of clicking the "next" button - easier than Windows 
in fact.


To make the help more effective, say the version of Fedora you are 
using, Fedora 9, 8, ... You kernel version and relevant hardware 
information that you can get running the command "dmesg | more".

Hello,

You don't mention the Fedora version, but, assuming that you are 
trying to
install F9 I can tell you that I had similar issues regarding nvidia 
cards
(only with F9). I'm also assuming that you nvidia card is a relatively 
a new

one IOW it wont need the nvidia-legacy package.

As a first, you can try to update all your system (latest xorg- 
packages make

difference), also you need to install the livna nvidia drivers and then
install the kmod-nvidia package.

1. as root do (you can do this in a text console):

 # yum -y update && reboot

 once that computer has rebooted the graphics mode probably is now 
working
ok, if not, then do the following command to try to set a graphics 
mode with

a vesa driver:

# system-config-display --reconfig --set-driver=vesa 
--set-resolution=1024x768


2. even if you don't have graphics mode yet, do the following to 
install the

nvidia drivers from livna:

# rpm -Uvh
http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/9/i386/livna-release-9-1.noarch.rpm 



# yum -y install kmod-nvidia && reboot

3. Now hopefully you'll have now a graphics mode running, if not we 
have a few

more moves:
remove the xorg.conf and create a new one with the nvidia utils:

 # rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
 # nvidia-xconfig
 # reboot

4. As last resource (if at this point you dont have a graphics mode) do:

#
system-config-display --reconfig --set-driver=nvidia 
--set-resolution=1024x768



5. If all fails, please don't desperate, give us more details on your
equipment and the messages that you are getting from the above 
procedures.



HTH

Where is the option to "automatic login" in Gnome 2.22 (Fedora 9)?

Thanks

edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf

however AutomaticLogin did not work properly as released, your system 
will need to be 'yum updated' for it to work properly.


Add the section in the file :

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=your_username

If you can't yum update the system there is a workaround via a timed 
login :


[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=your_username
TimedLoginDelay=0

Re: I need help with Fedora

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Hi

Or you can install Fedora as usual, and install a more lightweight 
desktop like, xfce or icewm or windowmaker and change your session at gdm.


Also helps if one disable a few services.

Regards

Marcelo

The live CD distros which I have used

1. DyneBolic (best distro for me)
2. Ubuntu (took hell lot of time to boot)
3. Gentoo (couldn't start GUI)
4. DSL (not as good as DyneBolic)


See guys, the problem with using LiveCD is that I can't save my data and
there is no customization.

Every time I boot using LiveCD i need to run a series of jobs for
customization.

Plus, my drive becomes busy and launching applications takes time.

I know there are more than 300 different linux distros out there, I just
need to get one.

My project needs simple basic structure of linux kernel.

It doesn't require GNOME or KDE.

But, as I am a newbie, I can't work on command line linux.

So, please advice.


Ubuntu would, like Fedora, be running one of the big desktop managers.  KDE 
and Gnome are too heavy for your small amount of RAM.  If you install 
something small like Puppy you will not have to work from the command line.  
You may find some things easier than you thought from the command-line, but 
you will not be forced to use it.


Live CDs are good for getting a look at possibilities, but I would never 
choose to work from one.

Re: F9: Web Based system monitoring

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Another option is collectd[1]. Or if you want something more ambitious,  
maybe should have a look at Nagios[2] and Nagios Grapher[3]. Or 
groundwork[4] that puts everything together.

All,

I know this isn't exactly the place to look for anything like this,
but I am wondering from the Fedora  users base, if there is any
good/recommended tools to display real-time or near real time system
information VIA web (AJAX or JAVA based) for a server? I would like to
set up something where I can monitor server status at a glance without
having 400 shell windows open (Like I do now when doing that stuff). I
know Gnome and KDE have system monitoring applications, but since I
dont' have X installed on the servers I desire to monitor like this, I
figure web based would be next best.



cacti (cacti.net) is a nice web-based frontend for snmp (and other) 
monitoring, it's not realtime by default, but updates every 5 minutes. that 
can be changed however to better suit your needs.

Re: microphone not recording (solved)

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Hi.

I don't know what solved the problem, but I included the +20dB bust and 
"microphone capture" options. And also, after I could see the input 
device option in PulseAudio Volume Control.


Thanks

Hi.

I have been trying to get my mic work with Skype and Fedora 9. Skype 
only works when the device in "Sound In" is set to "ICH6,0", not the

voice.
Don't know anything about Skype.  Have read there are some problems in 
passing.


The default (System-> preferences-> Hardware-> sound-> Sound Capture) 
is set to ALSA. The default mixer is "Intel ICH6 (Alsa mixer)".


I tried to use the "Sound Recorder" tool to see if the mic was 
working, but when I try to use, the file is saved, but again no sound.


I think the problem could be in permission to the device. Which one?
/dev/dsp?

I don't think so.  This is for OSS.


Thanks

Marcelo

Bring up alsamixer (either at a command line or via the menu) and hit 
F4.  You should see the capture screen. Turn on the mic and boost and 
give the mic some volume.  That should give you capture sound.

Re: F9: skype problems with microphone

[Marcelo M. Garcia]

Hi

Thanks for point the document but it doesn't treat exactly the 
microphone. In fact, the guide in PulseAudio website about gstreamer[1] 
was the who actually solved the problem.


After some googling, I think my problem is permissions with the devices. 
 I'm going to open another thread about this.


Thanks

Marcelo
