As the title says, I'd like to reinstall fedora 15 with the netinstall
image because it's about 100mb (kernel and initrd) instead of the
install dvds. My problem is that those files located in
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/15/Fedora/x86_64/os/isolinux/
have long been outdated. As you can see the kernel is only 3.7mb and
the initrd almost 94mb. How to rebuild them from the latest
kernel-2.6.40.4-6.fc15?

No it's not.  Different projects have different design goals.  It's an
essential part of the free software ecology.  I want a choice; this is
one of the benefits of free software.

Just remove /etc/sysconfig/iptables and /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables, then

Otherwise this is a comment and will be ignored. You could also just

 What happens is that /etc/sysconfig/iptables, /etc/sysconfig/iptables,
 and /etc/sysconfig/system-config-firewall ALWAYS get recreated AFTER

This should not happpen.

Please the contents of the files.

Is system-config-firewall-base installed?

 That causes the iptables kernel modules to load, and filtering started,
 even though iptables is actually configured for off and does not start.

 What is doing that?  I cannot find it.

 Any help is appreciated.

Which modules are loaded?

 Thanks!

 After nearly 25 years of life with Unices, almost 20 years with Linux,
 nowadays I'm pretty confused about future of Linux.
 Allow me to elaborate a bit.
 I'm convinced that the Kernel will survive and be better in the long
 term future. RedHat and IBM as biggest contributors within it and
 Linus as maintainer (leader, mogul ... ) give me faith in the future
 of Linux. GNU fits well on the top of kernel. That is a rock solid
 base for every Linux distribution.
 Last 7 years all of my desktops, laptops, servers are locked down on
 RHEL and derivatives and Fedora. I saw many changes, bad and good
 ones. But last one, with fairly unfinished, not even close to, so
 called Beta release, Gnome 3 DE is the worst what is happened.
 On the other hand, I like the new look, many promising features, ...etc.
 So, what is bad?
 The bad thing is attitude of Gnome (developers, promoters, project
 leaders) toward end users. They decide to abandon Gnome 2 and put
 distribution maintainers in awkward position. Maintainers must use
 (buggy, unfinished, untested) Gnome 3 if they want to use Gnome DE in
 their distribution. Breaking compatibility at API level with previous
 version put application developers in unenviable position. This is
 almost unacceptable! ( because of that I understand Ubuntu leaders )
 From that point of view I wonder on whose payroll are these gentlemen?
 This is not good way to promote OpenSource way of life, I'm presume.
 I will agree with opinions that DE need some changes, fresh ideas.
 Frankly, I don't see anything new that does not exists in other OS/DE
 combination. It is good to have DE for mobile devices, tablets 
 etc. But that could be a related project with main Gnome, isn't it? I
 use laptop only when I'm out of office. Desktop with 2 monitors is my
 main workplace. ( someone would say he is old-fashioned guy ). No
 one can convince me that all Gnome developers use only laptops. I
 would like to see their workplaces.
 I was shocked when I read the response of one of the Gnome developers
 in a discussion about maximise/minimise buttons. I paraphrase the
 answer: we where not able to model use cases for them, because each
 user uses them in different ways ? (I'd rather not comment this)

GNOME developers have pretty much always developed in their own vacuum
so this is hardly new. Whether people agreed or disagreed with their
choices was never really important to them. 

That said, it's important to note that on the subject of UI, it's clear
that there really isn't just one way and it makes sense to me that the
project works within their own vision and delivers without getting
bogged down by the expectations of many people who will disagree among
themselves about how things should be done.

There is no one way, There are many choices for a DE and GNOME is but
only one of them. The future of Linux doesn't hinge on GNOME and at
best, GNOME's new direction can only help push the boundaries of
where/how Linux is used.

 At the end, using of Free Software is liberty/freedom of choice. There
 are many opportunities: KDE, XFCE, LXDE  They have been created as
 response from people who thought differently. This is a waste of
 energy, time, resources, even money. As an old elephant, I could
 recall the story about end of XFree86 project.

I don't think the XFree86 is actually relevant here but the project is
still going.

KDE, XFCE and others have been around for quite some time and while you
might call it a waste of energy, time and resources, it's a clear
indication that UI is not monolithic and competing methods/concepts are
valid and quite useful and represent real choice to Linux users. They
type of choice that you don't get and will never get from one of the
proprietary OS vendors.

The one thing that could kill off Linux (or at least the Desktop
version) would be to have a single UI that in an attempt to be all
things to all people actually pleases no one at all.

 This is not the way how we can attract more young people who will
 use/make/change OpenSource software.

Monumental leap of a conclusion with no evidence to support it.

 Regardless of all these current events about Gnome, I will continue to
 teach my students about importance of OpenSource, FSF, and freedom of
 choice.

I think you are missing an important point about Open Source... The
freedom to innovate involves the freedom to develop as you see fit. The
reason much of the open source software exists is because someone has an
itch and he writes the software to scratch it. When he gets other people
to join in, they decide on their common goals for the project and
develop towards those goals. If others decide to take it in a new
direction, they 'fork' the software.

There's no great mystery and the GNOME project is working entirely as
open source software models should operate.

 P.S. I like to excuse myself about my English in

 People who appreciate open source should love the bold, fresh ideas that
 GNOME 3 represents, even if they don't actually intend to use it. It
 aspires to encompass the computer regardless of form factor. It dares to
 innovate. It spreads the umbrella of implementation that protects it
 from those who believe they can patent virtually everything by providing
 evidence of prior art. It demonstrates that the innovation doesn't only
 emanate from Cupertino (though some of us knew that) or Redmond
 (puhlease).
 
 But to get to your point that 'GNOME has abandoned GNOME 2 and put
 distributions in an awkward position' - perhaps you are confused. Let's
 just stay on topic, Fedora. Fedora is very clear on this... Fedora's
 core value is to implement new versions as early as reasonable to help
 drive the development and provide valuable feedback. GNOME 2 is done and
 if a sufficient number of people want to maintain it for security
 issues, it can continue on as it always has. But Fedora is giving us a
 glimpse of the future by implementing the leading edge now... that is
 and has always been the core value of Fedora. There's no awkwardness or
 confusion there.

Hear hear !

It is known that Red Hat makes money from RHEL. RHEL releases are mostly 
snapshot Fedora. And for the community to be willing to contribute to Fedora, 
it must receive something back. Specifically, a free desktop operating system 
that they like (or, which is better, adore). When people are not happy, they 
stop contributing.

Recommendations for improving read and seek times of BTRFS.

2011-09-28 Thread David McFarland

Hi,

I have a question on recommendations for configuring BTRFS and opinions on if 
it is the correct filesystem to use for the following scenario at this time?

The system will have about 24TB of storage.
The minimal file size to be stored is 32KB and the maximum is 16GB.
We expect the mean distribution of files to be around 128KB-3MB.
We also expect that smaller files 3MB or less will be hit more frequently than 
the larger files.
The systems read performance is critical and our initial benchmarking with 
bonnie++ indicates BTRFS has poorer seek speeds and read performance than both 
XFS and EXT4.

My initial thoughts on this are to split the storage into a number of volumes, 
which will be optimised for file size ranges. i.e. 
2 SSD for files 32KB – 256KB in size
5 HDD for files 256KB – 128MB in size
5 HDD for files 128MB – 16GB in size

Does this seem like a sensible approach? Is there any recommendations for 
optimising BTRFS with a focus on improving read performance and seek times for 
each of these ranges? 

Thanks,
David

seems to me exactly the same type of complaints when KDE 4 was released

and Linux has a point of view that is entirely his own and certainly
valid for him. Why would you assert that his views represent anything
other than his views? Heck, he's typically involved in disagreement even
with kernel development and the kernel license so what's new here?

I believe that the adage states... to make an omelet, one has to break
some eggs.

Those who are unwilling or unprepared to use leading edge software,
still under development should probably be using something stable like
RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux, Ubuntu LTS, Debian or something other
than Fedora. If you are committed to using Fedora, you are committed to
using it warts and all with the expectation that you are helping to
drive the open source universe forward. If you are content with the way
things are now... Fedora is likely the wrong choice for you.

 Apparently it is already being done (sorry, forgot the new name of the
 fork). However, AFAIK, it is far from straightforward to rebuild and
 release it.

A usable fork of gnome2 will NEVER happen. People who think it will have 
no idea of the size of the gnome project and related gtk-based projects. 
Are they going to set up new source code repos? A new bugzilla? New 
translation teams? A new release team? A new set of core developers 
actually adding new code? Will other gtk-based projects (like my serial 
terminal program, moserial) release gtk2 and gtk3 variants?

However, gnome-shell is heavily customizable through extensions. If 
people want a gnome2-ish experience, they would be better off writing 
extensions to mimic the gnome2 experience. Some already exist, of course.

I personally like gnome-shell. I can only conclude that people who don't 
are bad people. People who kill kittens. Shame on you!

Pardon, I had not intended to furtherly extend this thread, but now you 
provoking it.

Prepared for new SW doesn't mean to swallow all mash being presented 
and to uncritically welcome everything new as brilliant novelty, but 
also to make up personal opinions on such SW and to influence the system 
as part of the evolutionary process which has made Linux up to date.

That said, I do not swallow the Gnome folks' claim to have implemented a 
revolutionary new approach. IMO, their works, when thinking about them 
benevolently, at best is an early stage of a case study, which still has 
to prove its viability.

At all interfaces are only IPv4 addresses, they have not any IP aliases,
iptables are stopped. eth1 is NATed 1:1 to public IP at ISP site.
Know anyone why ping (from iputils-20100418-3.fc14.i686 package)
behaves in such way? May this be somehow related with system routin tables?

Re: Developers responsibillity to Fedora Users

2011-09-28 Thread Wade Hampton

[snip long rants]

The customers of Fedora are the users.  If you
irritate or frustrate your users, especially if the
cost is $0 to move to something else, you WILL lose
market share and hence mind share.

Additional data points that might add to the flames:

1)  I have a co-worker new to Linux.  He tried F15 and hated it,
 then went back to F14.  I believe WinXP/Vista/7 users
 trying Linux for the first time ARE confused by F15/Gnome3.

2)  Other friends/co-workers have moved to Ubuntu for their
 desktop and only use RHEL/CentOS for servers (No Fedora).

3)  It took me hours to get my F15 laptop sane including
 finding obscure settings to turn on the minimize in
 windows, and a working printer configuration application.

These are the reasons why only one of my Linux-based
laptops/netbooks/desktops is F15 and the rest are F14
or Ubuntu.

I hope to try Fedora 16 alpha soon.  I hope that most
of the major objections to Gnome 3 in F15 have been
addressed and that developers have listened to the complaints.
I plan to remain a loyal Fedora user as I have used RHL 
Fedora since about RHL 2 or 3 circa 1995 (and Slackware
before that).

Open source is GREAT, but developers must remember
that the cost (time and $) to move from one version to another
is very low

Cheers,

 If Red Hat is still primarily concerned with the server market, then
 Gnome3 makes even less sense.

I can't speak to the RHEL side of the house WRT desktop environments. I
don't know what the plans are around Gnome 3 and future RHEL releases
based on Fedora 15+. Though I would say that I would find it odd for
servers to have graphical desktops on which the admins depend. Admins
for RHEL systems tend to be the command line type.

That's the open source way. Don't like Gnome 3? Then fork and maintain
Gnome 2 and build a new project around it. If there are enough people
who support such a move then a community will form around it.

Re: [389-users] Problem with samba and 389 Directory server with LDAPS

2011-09-28 Thread David Hoskinson

I do not have a server.crt..  I created my certs using the following page on

http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:SSL

which creates a cert8.db and key3.db

in the past I could do certutil –L something and it would show the cert

I can authenticate from localhost and any of the client machines even the samba

are you sure your certificate is created with your FQDN in it?

i've had LOT of problems until i've created correctly my certs.

you can check it with

   openssl x509 -noout -text -in server.crt

and i recommend that you include your FQDN as Alternative Name even if is your 
hostname, that trick saved me lot of headaches. i always create my certs with 
two alternate names, the FQDN itself and also ldap.mydomain

this way you don't have any problems with loadbalancing and such.

to create a petition cert with alternate names you can run (one line)

certutil -R -s

 Apparently it is already being done (sorry, forgot the new name of the
 fork). However, AFAIK, it is far from straightforward to rebuild and
 release it. Gnome 2 and 3 use different versions of the same set of
 libraries, and cannot coexist on the same system easily.

The challenge then is to upgrade the Gnome 2 code to use the newer
libraries.

 And Fedora
 has a lot of Gnome3 dependencies, even if you do not install Gnome3
 itself.

Such as?

 So the old Gnome2 needs to be heavily patched at the source
 code level, if it is to interoperate with the rest of the distro. This
 is much more complicated than just rebuilding srpms.

I have largely stayed out of these conversations, but I would just like 
to interject that I have had exactly the opposite experience.  I love 
Gnome 3 and would be frustrated if I had to go back to anything like 
Gnome 2 or any other environment I have used before.  I will be the 
first to admit that things are not complete yet, but I really feel that 
people who are complaining about any sort of design issues are missing 
the point.  The basic user interactions baked into Gnome 3 tend to be 
much easier for me and a lot of complaints I see come from users 
actively fighting to use the interface in a way that it was not intended.

For instance, there really is no need to minimize a window with Gnome 
3.  I know it sounds condescending to say that, and you can feel free to 
feel insulted by me, the Gnome devs and God herself if you want, but 
once I got the hang of it, never having to manage minimized windows was 
amazingly freeing.  Likewise, you can turn on focus follows mouse, but 
if you do you will likely become frustrated with the experience.  I have 
used focus follows mouse for over 20 years prior to Gnome 3, and it was 
one of the thing that made using X based desktops a joy for me, but I've 
been running for about 1 month with click to focus and I don't miss 
focus follows mouse one bit.

Gnome 3 might really irritate you, or might be specifically bad for your 
particular use cases, and I completely understand if you want to 
continue with the desktop metaphors that have served you well in the 
past, but that does not mean it will be a general failure.  Sure, there 
is a bit of a learning curve, and I installed it on my machines to get 
the hang of it before putting it on anything that anyone else will use, 
but it only takes about 15 minutes to run through the changes with 
someone sitting in front of the computer for them to get the hang of it.

That being said, I share your pain on the printer setup, and I really 
hope that gets easier.

As a data point: I came to Fedora, and love it, in large part *because*

I've also been recommending Fedora to people who aren't happy with

Re: LXDE is an acceptable substitute for Gnome 2

2011-09-28 Thread Ranjan Maitra

 I have a theory, based on the reason I use FVWM ahead of all of
 them: The gnome and KDE developers have now both exhibited an
 extreme propensity for jerking the rug out from under folks.
 People are looking for something they won't have to relearn
 every time developers get a bee in their bonnet. That pretty
 much totally excludes both gnome and KDE from any consideration.
 
 I strongly suspect both XFCE and LXDE will wind up having the
 same thing happen, they both seem to exhibit evidence of being
 actively developed, which means bees could arrive in new bonnets
 at any moment :-).
 
 I'll stick with FVWM and sample the new version of whatever
 is standard in fedora on each release just long enough to
 use it to get mt FVWM environment back.

 Open source is GREAT, but developers must remember
 that the cost (time and $) to move from one version to another
 is very low

Most of the Gnome developers probably are not Fedora users anyway,
and why should they care which distro people use ? Similarly from a
commercial perspective 'what's the business case ?'

As to distro switching - yes it isn't hard, and the desktop switching
option in Fedora is even easier.

yum groupinstall XFCE
set your desktop at gdm

I don't need silly icons in panels in order to run things like

perfectly well from a terminal or a menu entry in a .fvwmrc file

That's OK, it is easy to build from source, so I'll just start doing

 That's the open source way. Don't like Gnome 3? Then fork and maintain
 Gnome 2 and build a new project around it. If there are enough people
 who support such a move then a community will form around it.

The GNOME 3 issue is outside Fedora big time. Inside Fedora there's choice 
should a user decide not to adhere to the course of the GNOME Project.

The only responsibility out there is for timely bugfixes, because the most 
annoying bugs often mean no alternative.

I'm a proud user of GNOME 3 and Fedora and I will continue to use these 
together.

Right, I wasn't suggesting that Fedora take on this task. That's why I
said a community will form around it , referring to the Gnome 2

Perhaps so, but I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this.

 When Linus Torvalds says I want my sane interfaces back. I have yet

 valid for him. Why would you assert that his views represent anything

This sort of feedback from any active developer shouldn't be ignored.
Maintaining developer mindshare is important for Fedora.

 Those who are unwilling or unprepared to use leading edge software,
 still under development should probably be using something stable like

I think you're missing the point.  A major goal of any leading-edge
distro is to get feedback from users on new features.  In other words,
getting negative feedback from users isn't a bug, it's a feature.

 RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux, Ubuntu LTS, Debian or something other
 than Fedora. If you are committed to using Fedora, you are committed to
 using it warts and all with the expectation that you are helping to
 drive the open source universe forward.

If Fedora (and free software in general) is to improve then we need
feedback from users.  That's how it has always worked, and how it's
supposed to work.  We need people to complain when Fedora does things
they don't like.  We actively solicit feedback, and we welcome it,
even if we don't like it.

are you sure your certificate is created with your FQDN in it?

i've had LOT of problems until i've created correctly my certs.

you can check it with

   openssl x509 -noout -text -in server.crt

and i recommend that you include your FQDN as Alternative Name even if 
is your hostname, that trick saved me lot of headaches. i always 
create my certs with two alternate names, the FQDN itself and also 
ldap.mydomain


this way you don't have any problems with loadbalancing and such.

to create a petition cert with alternate names you can run (one line)

certutil -R -s 
CN=myserver.example.com,OU=example,O=example,L=example,ST=example,C=example 
-o example.csr -d . -a -8 myserver.example.com,ldap.example.com

you have to use FQDN when connecting securely. and you have to use

2011-09-28 Thread Phil Meyer

The livd images currently appear to have 4GB filesystems, which would 
correspond to single layer DVDs. This is ok.

My question: Is the entire free space reported bf tools like 'df' writable?

My simple tests indicate that it is not.

ie:

# df -h .

# df -h .
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/loop6 4.0G 1.8G 2.2G 46% /

So it seems that roughly 500MB is available via an overlay.

Only 'livecd-iso-to-disk', of all of the livecd tools, has an overlay 
option.

The question is:

How to adjust the overlay somewhere during the process of:

livecd-creator - livecd-iso-to-pxeboot

such that a system using that initrd.img has all of the remainder of the 
4GB file-system available via the overlay.

Thanks for any pointers!

 error message;

 sdc2 Does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

 There is only two hard drives and a DVDrom in this computer,  I can't
 understand the sdc2 unless fedora see's this
 drive , slave hard drive as sdc2 instead of sdb2 , partition 2 is where
 the / partition is for Fedora.
 WindowsXP is on Master drive.


 Hard Drive is recognized by BIOS as a Slave sdb.

 I guess the Device map is different and causing problems, How do I fix
 this to get boot sector on /dev/sda

 Can the command  grub-install --recheck /dev/sda fix the problem.
 I thought you have to edit grub.conf so that
 boot=/dev/sda  Point this to correct drive like /dev/sdb

 splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz  Change this to correct
 (hd1,0) as an example
 hiddenmenu
 default=0

 title Fedora (2.6.39.3-1.fc14.i686)
   root (hd0,1)  Change this to (hd1,0)
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39.3-1.fc14.i686 ro root=/dev/sdb

 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us LANG=en_US.UTF-8 nomodeset
   initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.39.3-1.fc14.i686.img


 Then you must fix /etc/fstab so that
 /dev/sdb1 / ext3defaults0 0

 ...etc.

 Are you sure the (hd1,0) instead it should be (hd1,1) because linux / is
 at sdb2 .
 Well, the default correspondence between bios disks and linux disks
 is
 hd0  sda
 hd1  sdb

 I assume your linux is installed on first partition of the disk.
 Since the linux disk is the second disk in the machine, per your
 message, then the disk is hd1 (i.e. /dev/sdb)
 and since linux is on the  first partition, the boot
 disk would be
 (hd1,0)  which maps onto (/dev/sdb1)

 Take a look at the file /boot/grub/device.map

 which shows the most basic device mapping, like
 (fd0)   /dev/fd0
 (hd0)   /dev/sda

 Good luck

 I guess i got this pretty confusing.
 sdb1 is a ntfs file system for a backup to windowsXP.
 And sdb is / root for linux
 sdb is the WHOLE disk.
 sdb1 is partition one on sdb
 Therefore it is not possible to have
 sdb as the linux root file system, and
 sdb1 as the ntfs backup of windows.

 I suspect that sdb1 is your ntfs backup
 and sdb2 is your linux root file system.


JD thanks for your help.

But I have decided that I'am going to walk my friend through a complete new
install, that way he will learn how to do it in the future.

That way also Linux can do the proper detection settings on his computer.

Details here, let me know if you need more info.

How do I start X on the server from a remote machine (via ssh, of course) so
that I can use graphical apps ?

When I google this problem, there is some talk about the DISPLAY variable
not being set.  What should it be set to ?  How should it be set ?

 How do I start X on the server from a remote machine (via ssh, of course) so
 that I can use graphical apps ?
 
 When I google this problem, there is some talk about the DISPLAY variable
 not being set.  What should it be set to ?  How should it be set ?

sshd sets it when you do an ssh -X/-Y. If it isn't getting set then
either ssh isn't seeing suitable environment variables (eg ssh'ing into a
box and forgetting which box you were on when you do the ssh -Y), or it
can be blocked in the sshd config.

Why?  Nothing you report later mentions any SELinux denials or warnings 
and there's no mention of problems mounting partitions.  I don't know 
what went wrong, but I do know that trying things at random isn't going 
to help and only wastes valuable time.

Thanks for the reply, Alan.  Great to see you jump in like that.

How/when is X supposed to be started ? Part of the boot process, right ?
Does anything shut it down, like a timeout on the login screen ?

Thanks

I want to reinstall fedora on a intel fake-raid1 which is practically
a software raid. In order to save all the config headaches I want to
use a f16-livecd and rebuild the netinstall image with the kernel for
f15 (kernel-2.6.40.4-6.fc15) and just boot from it. So from your
example '# dracut initrd.img `uname -r' I think `uname -r` will return
the running f16 kernel, not the one I want to use. Do I need the
kernel-devel-package for this?

Configuring USB-connected printer

2011-09-28 Thread Geoffrey Leach

I'm unable to configure a printer, connected via usb, under Fedora 15.

Fedora 14 Anaconda recognized and configured automatically. The 
hardware configuration has not changed. The URI for the printer 
generated by Anaconda was usb://HP/LaserJet%201300

Using this URI to configure the printer on Fedora 15 does not work; the 
test page job is queued, but not printed. Ditto using usb://HP/LaserJet

FWIW, here's the USB description for the port. The Belk is a Belkin 
parallel-to-usb adapter. Same as under Fedora 14.

 1. The graphical boot did not complete: it started Nagios, but cupsd

 2. I cannot log in on the text consoles; I can type the username, but
 no prompt appears for the password.
 3. Attempts to use sudo just hang.
 4. I can log in by ssh as either myself or as root.
 5. named is using 97.5% CPU, though when I turn on querylogging,
 there are very few lookups.
 6. Attempts to start cups result in complaints about dbus:

Wonder if running into a systemd problem that I had due to dbus issue
day or 2 ago?

Might upgrade to this and see if that helps fix it.

 error message;

 sdc2 Does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

 There is only two hard drives and a DVDrom in this computer,  I can't
 understand the sdc2 unless fedora see's this
 drive , slave hard drive as sdc2 instead of sdb2 , partition 2 is where
 the / partition is for Fedora.
 WindowsXP is on Master drive.


 Hard Drive is recognized by BIOS as a Slave sdb.

 I guess the Device map is different and causing problems, How do I fix
 this to get boot sector on /dev/sda

 Can the command  grub-install --recheck /dev/sda fix the problem.
 I thought you have to edit grub.conf so that
 boot=/dev/sda   Point this to correct drive like /dev/sdb

 splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz   Change this to 
 correct
 (hd1,0) as an example
 hiddenmenu
 default=0

 title Fedora (2.6.39.3-1.fc14.i686)
root (hd0,1)   Change this to (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39.3-1.fc14.i686 ro root=/dev/sdb
 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8
 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us LANG=en_US.UTF-8 nomodeset
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.39.3-1.fc14.i686.img


 Then you must fix /etc/fstab so that
 /dev/sdb1 / ext3defaults0 0

 ...etc.

 Are you sure the (hd1,0) instead it should be (hd1,1) because linux / is
 at sdb2 .
 Well, the default correspondence between bios disks and linux disks
 is
 hd0  sda
 hd1  sdb

 I assume your linux is installed on first partition of the disk.
 Since the linux disk is the second disk in the machine, per your
 message, then the disk is hd1 (i.e. /dev/sdb)
 and since linux is on the  first partition, the boot
 disk would be
 (hd1,0)  which maps onto (/dev/sdb1)

 Take a look at the file /boot/grub/device.map

 which shows the most basic device mapping, like
 (fd0)   /dev/fd0
 (hd0)   /dev/sda

 Good luck

 I guess i got this pretty confusing.
 sdb1 is a ntfs file system for a backup to windowsXP.
 And sdb is / root for linux
 sdb is the WHOLE disk.
 sdb1 is partition one on sdb
 Therefore it is not possible to have
 sdb as the linux root file system, and
 sdb1 as the ntfs backup of windows.

 I suspect that sdb1 is your ntfs backup
 and sdb2 is your linux root file system.


 JD thanks for your help.

 But I have decided that I'am going to walk my friend through a complete new
 install, that way he will learn how to do it in the future.

 That way also Linux can do the proper detection settings on his computer.
That is a wise decision.
Good luck.

Re: How to rebuild the kernel for the network install

2011-09-28 Thread Pete Travis

Bash will expand $(inane -r) for you - you can pass it any kernel you have
headers installed for.

I wanted to jump in to suggest you reconsider motherboard driven fakeraid.
The mainboard becomes a single point of failure, and replacing it or
migrating the array can be problematic, especially with different chipset
revisions or BIOS versions.

I recommend you set up a mdadm array.  Drivers are in the kernel,
documentation is profuse, and management is fairly simple once you get the
hang of it. The graphical installer can even do it for you.  Use the array
for /home and possibly /etc and /var, and keep your root filesystem separate
from your important data.

Hope this helps,

Pete

 Belkin devices aren't necessarily known for their linux support.

Hmmm  the converter has been working with many previous versions of 
Fedora. Could it be that linux is not supporting the device now? Seems 
unlikely, though, as all the device is doing is converting between 
Parallel and USB. Could also be that its died, athough doing it between 
14 and 15 seems unlikely.

 They are no longer in Firefox default directory .

They are also no longer in Bookmarks.html. The places.sqlite

There you can have your bookmarks.html if you want to.

That has been working for me. I'm never sure when the format is
likely to change and it won't work, but I assume I'll notice
when it no longer works.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/nvidia glxgears

2011-09-28 Thread John Schmitt


I have the nvidia driver from rpmfusion installed.  All my OpenGL apps are 
accelerated and work well except for one thing:

$ glxgears 
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

# glxgears does not run

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/nvidia glxgears

# glxgears runs the way you expect

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the nvidia drivers, mesa and all their 
dependencies a few times which did not change this.  I removed /etc/ld.so.cache 
and ran ldconfig which did not change the behaviour.

What is going on?  How do I fix this?

Re: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/nvidia glxgears

for the moment you can add manually the desired entry in
/etc/ld.so.conf directly or create the file as seen in the catalyst
driver.


[sombriks@gau boot]$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
[sombriks@gau boot]$

[sombriks@gau boot]$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/catalyst.conf

Re: How to rebuild the kernel for the network install

2011/9/28 Pete Travis m...@petetravis.com:
 Bash will expand $(inane -r) for you - you can pass it any kernel you have
 headers installed for.

 I wanted to jump in to suggest you reconsider motherboard driven fakeraid.
 The mainboard becomes a single point of failure, and replacing it or
 migrating the array can be problematic, especially with different chipset
 revisions or BIOS versions.

 I recommend you set up a mdadm array.  Drivers are in the kernel,
 documentation is profuse, and management is fairly simple once you get the
 hang of it. The graphical installer can even do it for you.  Use the array
 for /home and possibly /etc and /var, and keep your root filesystem separate
 from your important data.

 Hope this helps,

 Pete


That's the whole idea behind it. It's on a intel-p67 chipset with the
build-in intel-raid1. I tend to use an mdadm array but I'm not sure
which will be simpler to set and manage afterwards. I have to say I've
not worked with arrays before this.

Re: what it that http://localhost/gf context? how to get rid of this?

Hello everyone.

I figured what is it, it's the faulty gforge installation, it appended
this inside /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf :

Include /etc/gforge/httpd.conf

and this faulty configuration was doing this:

http://pastebin.com/ySbzHN0C

i get rid of the offensive configuration and now my svn repo is shiny

for information, gforge seems to be compatilbe with fedora core 5,
maybe because of this such problems with him.

Richard, your binary driver is from rpmfusion too? if not maybe this
difference means a punctual problem in rpm provided by the repo.

 [sombriks@gau boot]$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/catalyst.conf

 It's probably already there... I run the binary drivers as well and I
 get the following:

 # cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-lib64.conf
 /usr/lib64/nvidia

Yes, I use the nvidia package from RPM Fusion.

The nvidia-lib{,64}.conf files are provided by:

xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs

# rpm -ql xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs | grep conf
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-lib64.conf
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-lib.conf

You see two results because I have both the 64bit and 32bit libraries
installed since I have some apps installed that are 32bit only.

Thanks,
Richard

 I recommend you set up a mdadm array.  Drivers are in the kernel,
 documentation is profuse, and management is fairly simple once you get the
 hang of it. The graphical installer can even do it for you.  Use the array
 for /home and possibly /etc and /var, and keep your root filesystem separate
 from your important data.

There is a downside to using mdadm over fake raid and that is that you
can hit a bottleneck with the PCI bus as the data needs to be sent to
each disk drive that needs a copy of the data (or parity info) instead of
just once to the controller. Typically this will be twice as much data.

That said, I use mdadm. I have done such things as drop one side of my
raid 1 mirrors, repartition that drive, set up new mirrors with encrypted
file systems, and copy over file system data, repartion the other disk,
add those partitions to the new mirrors.

mdadm is pretty simple to use.

That's good info for anyone considering mdadm.

What if the underlying bus is 32 bit pci-e?
would than not help with the throughput so
that twice the data output does not slow
your down that much?
Of course it would still be considerably slower
than having a 32-bit pci-e raid controller.

An interesting set of changes.  I like the easy integration with Google
mail and apps.  I just hope they fixed the things that cause Gnome 3 to
crash on my system.

Did you try the F16 live cds? Does it still happen there? Did you have a
bugreport for the crash and what is the bug#?

I've found quite a lot of information in the internet about setting an
mdadm array. All the time it concerns copying the info from one hdd to
the other and setting the system to see the hdds as one. Have anyone
of you come across a useful all-in-one guide?

No, Fedora does not do major GUI changes in stable releases.

However, you may have noticed that Fedora releases are coordinated with
Gnome releases. Fedora 16 will ship with Gnome 3.2. If you're
interested, the Fedora 16 beta is currently scheduled to be released
Oct. 04 (assuming that it gets the green-light at today's Go/No-Go
meeting).

If you're really, really anxious, you could try the release candidate
images for the Fedora 16 beta:

No. You will see Gnome 3.2 in Fedora 16, which is coming out soon.

Good question.  

I didn't want to belabour the point and report all the crap I was trying.  
Specifically:

- re-installing just the nvidia driver
- then re-installing mesa and all its dependencies

and in between removing /etc/ld.so.cache and re-running ldconfig.  

and on and on.  

Can you think of anything else I could try?
