Re: [389-users] db2bak.pl error with changelogdb
- Original Message - David, Thank you so much for the 3 replies. They are VERY illuminating and helpful for me to now press ahead and better address my own particular needs based on our “requirements”. What I now intend to do is to perform, at regular intervals, db2bak to a specific directory. as i would like to convert the bak db to ldif, it doesn’t appear there is a relatively easy way to do this… You can use the dbscan tool to convert the id2entry.db4 file in the backup to an ldif-ish format. dbscan -f /path/to/backup/id2entry.db4 db.ldif-ish I say ldif-ish because it mostly looks like ldif, except the formatting is off. The biggest issue is that the full DN is not stored as the dn: attribute in the ldif. Instead, it is the RDN of the entry, and at runtime, the entryrdn.db4 index is used to construct the full DN. I think there may be operational attributes like entrydn in the dbscan output that you might be able to use for the dn. Otherwise, you'll also have to dbscan -f /path/to/entryrdn.db4 and parse the output to perform your own mapping of rdn + parentid to the full DN. either i’d have to mockup a new config dir to reference the bak db as the real db so db2ldif will work That also might work. or i would have to create a new slapd instance and then configure it for schema and such to be identical to the real instance on the server and then db2bak with the output being the bak instance so i can run db2ldif on on the bak db. Bummer. nonetheless, i do appreciate your timely responses and the education i gained from them. /mrg On May 14, 2014, at 5:49 PM, David Boreham david_l...@boreham.org wrote: On 5/14/2014 3:11 PM, Michael Gettes wrote: of course, you can have yet another ldap server lying around not being used by apps and it’s purpose is to dump the store periodically, but that may not be part of you what want to achieve with disparate locations and such.

Make sure Skype is trying to use the webcam's mike as its input. If you have Skype set to use Pulse, then try pavucontrol (PulseAudio Volume Control on your desktop Applications-Multimedia menu) and verify that Pulse is using the camera's mike.

You need the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio package installed that matches the version of Skype you have (686 or x86_64, also this is why you have two pulseaudio-libs installed, one 32bit and one 64bit copy).

No. First, BIOS ≠ UEFI they are not the same thing and it's easy to remember because there's nothing basic about UEFI. Second, while it's true GPT is defined in the UEFI spec, it's entirely up to the BIOS firmware implementation whether it'll work. There's no blanket proscription using GPT on BIOS computers, I have an old Dell Latitude laptop that permits booting with GPT partitioned drives. But there are enough firmwares out there that crater when encountering some aspect of GPT partitions, that on BIOS computers, the Fedora installer doesn't use GPT by default unless the drive is larger than ~2.2TB. From experience I have also found that you can't install the windows system partition on a GPT device and I thought I read somewhere that you also can't put Linux /boot on GPT either. The first part is true, the second part is not true. Windows' installer will only install and boot from GPT drives on UEFI computers, and boot from MBR drives on BIOS computers. I'm probably a bit off topic here but Win 8 would not install on my machine onto a GPT device with UEFI enabled in the bios. I had to finish up configuring the partition on the 2TB hard disk with a DOS partition and also turn off UEFI because I could not boot my system because UEFI did not support my Nvidia GTX 650 graphics card. It's not off topic but the vernacular is incorrect, no doubt due to manufacturers who have been using it incorrectly. Many of them continue to refer to firmware updates for UEFI based firmwares as BIOS updates. If you have UEFI firmware you do not have a BIOS firmware. If you have BIOS firmware you don't have UEFI firmware. If you have UEFI firmware you can't enable or disable it, although some manufacturers have used this UI convention to indicate whether a UEFI Compatibility Support Module is to be used. The CSM presents an (emulated) BIOS interface to an OS, and it's there for legacy OS support for OS's like Windows XP which have no idea what UEFI is or how to talk to it. The fact your firmware with UEFI enabled (CSM disabled) caused Windows 8 install failure with a GPT is a bug either in the Windows 8 installer, or with the firmware. If you have already confirmed that you have the latest firmware applied to your hardware, I'd take my case to their support service because there's no good reason why you should have to install Windows 8 with a compatibility module enabled. I'm leaning towards the bug being in the windows installer, as when I looked at the details for the error returned by the installer, the installer's explanation of the error was that it could not install on a GPT device, so given that it was the installer itself that was saying it couldn't do it I'd be leaning towards it as being the culprit. Something isn't right because if the CSM/legacy mode is not activated, then the Windows install can only have a conversation with the firmware using UEFI protocol, so it'd definitely know it was UEFI firmware. And it would disallow installation to an MBR device. The only time I've ever gotten the message from the Windows installer that it could not install to a GPT device is when it was booting from BIOS hardware, or UEFI hardware with CSM/BIOS mode enabled. You could boot from any Fedora media and issue the command efibootmgr -v and see what it says. You should either burn to a disk, or use dd to create a USB stick. Either of those methods will create EFI and BIOS bootable media. Other methods, this gets tricky. If you get some sensible result then the computer is UEFI booted. If you get an error message, then it's not UEFI booted. The firmware in my motherboard did not support disabling UEFI out of the box, I had to get an update to provide that functionality. The update provided the ability to only use UEFI, only use Legacy Bios, to use UEFI first then legacy, or use Legacy first then use UEFI (this option doesn't really make a lot of sense). *sigh* what a clusterfuck. Well, if you have it set to use only UEFI then that certainly should compel Windows to install to a GPT disk. Or there are still firmware bugs. The ability to turn UEFI off was critical for my system as I could not use my graphics card with UEFI as it was not supported by the built in signature database, and being a relatively new purchase I was not prepared to buy another one, also from what I have read, if using multiple Linux distros its potentially critical to turn UEFI off.

replacement for seamonkey?
Hi, are we going to need a replacement for seamonkey which comes without restrictions management, and will there be one in Fedora? -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
