Re: [389-users] sort on createTimestamp via JNDI

2010-01-29 Thread Andrey Ivanov
Hi,

the server does support the server-side sorting. However if the server
considers that the sorting task is too expensive it sends you an
error. When you sort on a certain attribute be sure
* to have an index on it with the corresponding matching rule
(http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/admin/index-sort-order.html)
and
* be sure that the number of sorted entries does not exceeed
nsslapd-idlistscanlimit
(http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/8.1/admin/Managing_Indexes.html),
otherwise the search will be considered unindexed and as a consequence
too expensive

Other than that the sorting works perfectly...



2010/1/29 Derek Alexander d.alexan...@lse.ac.uk:
 Hi,

 Was trying to do a search against the directory, with results sorted on the 
 createTimestamp
 attribute using JNDI.

 Got this back:

 javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException: [LDAP: error code 12 - Sort 
 Response Control];
 remaining name '...'

 Any idea of the reason for this?

 I was under the impression that server-side sorting was supported.

 Cheers,
 Derek

F12 nouveau problem?

2010-01-29 Thread Joachim Backes

Dear community,

having a *little* problem with nouveau and NVIDIA FX5200 (princeton 
display, 1280x1024): Under F12, it works OK - but when rebooting to 
WinXP, the screen is not centered, but shifted a little bit to the left 
(a small black vertical bar remains rightside). After auto tuning the 
display in WinXP, and after  rebooting to F12, there is the inverse 
effect (small black vertical bar on the left side).


By running my screen with kmod-nvidia-173xx from rpmfusion, I get rid 
from these problems.


Any hints?

Kind regards

Sometimes  it’s  helpful  to  be able to set the value of a DHCP 
 option 
 based on some value that the client has sent.   To do this, you can use 
 expression evaluation.   The dhcp-eval(5) manual page describes how to write 
 expressions.   To assign the result of an evaluation to an option, define the 
 option as follows:

option my-option = expression ;

For example:

option hostname = binary-to-ascii (16, 8, -, substring (hardware, 1, 6));

Re: help, (Fedora 8 is no longer supported)

2010-01-29 Thread Allann Jones
You can search for a active F8 repository (HTTP or FTP) on NET, and
modify 'baseurl' on /etc/yum.conf, this is what I've done. I think
that livna repository has the extra support for media formats. Maybe
freshrpms too. But you will not find new updates, only the updates
that you doesn't have applied until now.
I have upgraded the machines to F11 and F12.
Read the docs about the deprecated :( architectures on Fedora, like
Geode family, between others. This is what generates possible problems
with upgrade.

Regards.

 Essentially, my point being that answering that FC8 is no longer
 supported doesn't address the problem.  Granted, the original subject
 line was lacking but telling somebody to update to later Fedora versions
 is not an answer that can be achieved in some cases.

 Considering they asked how do I install media players, it would be
 safe to make an assumption that they are not very technical. Could be
 wrong, but it's safe to make that assumption

  /dev/cdrom, /dev/dvd, /dev/cdrw, /dev/dvdrw which all exist *until I

  I suspect HAL or udev, but don't know how to search.

  Thanks for attention.
 
  What you describe sounds like a udev problem. It is udev that is
  responsible for creating the devices.
 
 Thanks for answering.
 
 udev is responsible for creating, but hal is responsible for
 hotplugging So
 
 I tried to use debugging with hal, but I did not see anything suspect (I
 can be wrong, because I am not an expert...)
 
 
 I tried to debug udev too, but this is almost impossible: logs go on
 console at boot time, and are unreadable
 
  I have no brilliant solution but
  it sounds like for some reason udev decides that those /dev files are
  not needed when confronted with an inserted. Now one question. Are you
  inserting data CDs or music or video CDs? Only data CDs are mounted. Are
  you somehow trying to mount a music CD?
 
 
 No, I don't try to mount music CD, video DVD are automatically mounted
 and it is during this phase that the links are erased.
No non-data CDs arwe not mounted in the usual sense. You see the icon on
the screen but running mount command will not find them mounted.

  Examine the xpaint package to see whether it stores files in any

  Else check out the xpaint.spec file.
 
 I found no common files.
 
 How to extract the specfile from the xpaint package?

$ yumdownloader --source xpaint
[...]
xpaint-2.8.7.3-1.fc12.src.rpm| 760 kB 00:01 

Then either install it or use rpm2cpio or rpmdev-extract or your favourite

Emacs is an explicit dependency in the .spec file. There is no comment
that gives a rationale.

The package dependencies are broken anyway.

xpaint also requires xpaint-devel which it should not do, because -devel
packages ought to stay fully optional. Further, there is no point in
splitting of an xpaint-devel package and put it back with a strict
dependency.

went from f11 to f12.

  The passphrase window pops up - soon as i move mouse to be in the

comes up new - then I can type in and all is well.


   If the mouse is in the popup when it starts there is no crash.

   Abort was catching these - it stopped aftrer I upgraded to 2.6.32 kernel.

Recent Fedora 12 update (FEDORA-2010-1088) question

Did an update a couple of days ago. One of the updates related to

 You want to rebuild the initramfs to test this:
 mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-old-$(uname -r).img
 dracut

Is this step mandatory ? Or will the old initramfs work properly, since
there were no issues with booting before the update ?

It depends on your definition of stable:
If you define stable as everything works, then I'd say go for F12. F12
is one of the best releases we ever had, it was already rock solid when
it was still the beta or release candidate.
But when you define stable as feature complete, no API changes and only
a few updates, then it's F11. There is still a lot of updates coming for
F12 while F11 has calmed down.

If you can log in from text mode with the same username and password,

 There is a problem someplace, but darn if I know.

I think the execution will be fine using an xorg.comf file created with

Re: Best way to troubleshoot intermittant lockups on F12

2010-01-29 Thread Robin Laing
On 01/22/2010 09:07 AM, Mark Goldberg wrote:
 I have an F12 installation that experiences intermittent lockups,
 usually at times of heavy usage.
 The system just locks up solid, keyboard and mouse are non responsive.
 Graphical screen remains
 the same as it was when it locked up. Nothing is recorded in the
 system logs, and I also have
 logging to a remote machine and nothing is sent to there either. If
 you attempt to telnet in, you get
 the first telnet message with the kernel name but no login prompt and
 it times out. Only a hard reset
 and reboot gets it back.

 I've extensively tested the hard disks and memory. Processor temp is
 well controlled by a big
 fan.

 This is on an ASUS M4A77D motherboard (AMD 770) with an AMD 9850
 processor. I've tried pci=nomsi
 and it does not seem to change things.

 Twice, running yum caused the lockup, but any intensive progam can. It
 reencodes video early
 in the morning and has locked up three times then.

 Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 Mark

Interesting.

I am having an issue with lockups as well on my one system at home. 
Same symptoms.  Full freeze but it doesn't take an intensive program.

I can almost always lock it with burning a DVD and doing a disk access 
in the background.  The DVD burner is IDE based while everything else is 
SATA.

I can also slow the system down by running VLC.

I am running KDE and have had some strange issues lately but I cannot 
put my finger on anything.

In all cases, my lockups will leave the drive indicator light lit.  I 
cannot ssh or ping the machine though.  I don't get a login prompt.

If you can get a response, I would be tempted to run top from your 
laptop and see if some process starts going ballistic.  This is what I 
find with the VLC and it starts using up memory and pushes the machine 
into a massive swap process.  One time I got an error message like yours 
but my machine didn't die.  It seemed that the process had died and 
started to release memory.

In my case it could be related to the nvidia driver.

Come to that, the error message sounds like yum didn’t like the format
of a file it downloaded. Try disabling all but one repo and see what
happens.

For example,
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=updates check-update

Then try disabling all but another one. Once you've identified the repo,
see if there are any other problem reports and/or try forcing yum to use
a different mirror (try editing /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo).

Hope this helps,

Once again, there's *no conversion*. The MDA will simply store the
messages into a Maildir structure if you configure it to do so. In the
case of procmail, you just create the Maildir structure for each user,
as you mention above. Obviously you also have to get sendmail to use
procmail as MDA. See the procmail(1) for more info on this. I don't use
Dovecot so I don't know how it's LDA should be configured, but Google
for Dovecot+maildir.

Re: Between F11 and F12, which would you choose?

2010-01-29 Thread Alan Cox
 The question remains: Do you just want to experiment and incur the 
 problems that require expertise to fix, or do you want to use the os to 
 drive applications which achieve results, if the latter then stick with 
 Fedora 11.

12 is visually much nicer, and has some good improvements - but I think
that's good advice. The FC12 virtualisation still crashes (in bugzilla
getting debugged) and there are some other rough edges.

So, all the labelling should be pushed up one socket. Since the S/PDIF

So, the S/PDIF wire is now in the right plug and... sound still

corresponds to the setting in the GNOME top panel.

If I press F6, my integrated audio card appears as 0 - HDA ATI SB

I make all my settings, but it has not effect: it seems the Default is

How do I make my audio chip the default?

There are 2 or 3(?) document viewers out there besides Acroread.
Evince and xpdf spring to mind immediately.

A quick yum search PDF says that openoffice Draw will import PDFs,

 sendmail/dovecot-LDA/MailDir to setup maildir format?  I read
 the link you provided, but it is not clear exactly, what needs to be
 changed in dovecot's configuration file.  The link on explains
 how to get LDA working (the simplest being the user's .forward
 file with: '| /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver'), but does not say
 anything about how to set up the 'mail location' as to where the
 user's maildir might actually be converted/placed. I assume it is
 the line:

 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

 But I have not been able to get this to work at all.

 Some say that one can change the /var/mail/%u directory to add:

 user-account-name (directory)
new
mail
cur

 But I fail to see how it is that the maildir format is being
 handled, by some converter program (LDA?) and if so, which
 program is recommended, be it procmail/maildrop or is it
 something else?  I am confused...
 
 Once again, there's *no conversion*. The MDA will simply store the
 messages into a Maildir structure if you configure it to do so. In the
 case of procmail, you just create the Maildir structure for each user,
 as you mention above. Obviously you also have to get sendmail to use
 procmail as MDA. See the procmail(1) for more info on this. I don't use
 Dovecot so I don't know how it's LDA should be configured, but Google
 for Dovecot+maildir.

Thanks for the tip but I have done it in a completely different
way that requires no changes to /var/mail directory as suggested.

If you are interested, see:

This works really well!

Serial port (/dev/ttySX) question.

2010-01-29 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings all;

rs-232 tech is getting old, like me.

Do we have a tool that can display graphically in near real time, the status 
of the commonly used wires/signals in the '7 wire' protocol?

I need something that works a bit like the old db25 tester with a bunch of 
LED's to tally the line states like that gismo Radio Shack sold 20 years ago.
Those blinking leds were a very good troubleshooting tool, and I'm having 
flow control problems that look like a system freeze on one end or the other, 
but when rz times out, I still get a prompt from the shell on the other end, 
but nothing I type here arrives there, like hardware flow is still in effect 
and turned off on one end or the other.

Thanks All for any hints.
