Every book is out of date by the time it get published.  So don't worry

Start with basics...Bash, Sed and Awk...   Get a feeling for these to start

THis is what I would do

Have Distro 1 use /dev/sdb7 for swap..

Installl Distro 3 on /dev/sdb2

No need for separate  swap each distro..

Re: Some newbie questions

[Marvin Kosmal]

HI

I am not on a fedora box right now but, if memory serves me right.  All
users are kept in /etc/shadow/  and the other file would be /etc/passwd.
If you copies those two files over I believe  you would be OK..

Someone can second this.  I haven't done this in a LONG time.

Re: Service name conflict with system user name

HI

Do you in fact have a user called ""eirods?"

If so, you can't have two users with the same name.

If not, delete the user from the password, and group files.

Or use the GUI to remove that user.

Re: Question about directory ownership

[Marvin Kosmal]

HI

Is this your box?  Or it belongs to some service?

You need to be owner or group...

How you do that depends on who you are.

Re: Two HDs

[Marvin Kosmal]

Hi

Hook up ONE at a time and see if it shows up..

HI

I want to thank everyone who gave words of wisdom..

Problem was user configuration error..

Once by that everything worked fine..

And that is what I suspected all the time.  Just couldn't see my mistake

Thanks

Hi

Did I type that..

It is /var/log/auth.log

Once you make an error...  Go back and check.. And probably don't see it..
That is always the way it works for me..

Need to be checked ALL the time.



Thanks..

HI

I am sorry about that..

I saw the problem as a Linux issue and not a Ubuntu/Red Hat/Debian issue.

Looks like the answer is user configuration error..

My feeling is that as a Linux user I should be able to follow
instructions and install applications correctly.  As it turned out...
I misconfigured something..  And needed someone to hit me with the
Clue Stick.  Which, again, I didn't see as a problem associated with a
particular distribution.

I apologize to everyone that I upset.  That wasn't my goal..

Thanks for all the great help...

Thanks for the comeback..

Will check all points..  And report back..

As you can see for the partial log file below..  I believe it is
getting the lock file.  I also think the daemon is starting and then
exiting for some reason.

TIA

This is from my log file

Does this really mean it starts and shuts down immediately.??

Or don't I  understand the log?

HI

I am the original poster  and I am the one who had the allow in the
wrong place..  I have it in /etc/hosts.allow..

So I apologize for putting it in the wrong place and appreciate
everyone who pointed out where it should be

And I think my original problem still is there.

I would be happy to post my config file...

It is in /usr/share/denyhosts/denyhost.cfg

On the other version is was in /etc...

I used the README.txt to configure...  And read stuff from the website.

TIA.

Hi

Thanks to everyone who replied..

I am running denyhosts on a machine that is remote and I do all my
work over ssh.  The owner of the remote machine just upgrade the
machine I needed to reinstall everything.

When I say denyhosts is not working that means that people are trying
to ssh into that machine as root hunderds of times.  Or trying to log
in with any name.

On the old machine.  If you tried to log in as root one time, you were
denied access.  If you tried to log in with bin you get 10 tries and
then were denied.

Now that is not happening.

As I was remote the first thing I always did was to put my ip address
in hosts allow.  In the event I fell asleep and used the wrong
password several times in a row.  I have several passwords I use at
different places.

So I launch denyhosts from the command line and it gets a pid and is
running.  But, nothing happens.  People try to ssh in and denyhosts
never comes up and denies access...

I didn't make a copy of my old config file...  So I can't fall back on that.

I don't want to change the ssh port.   Not my machine. ...

TIA

Hi...

Hoping to get some help with my Ubuntu upgrade.  I know this is NOT
the Ubuntu list but, you guys are smart.

I just upgraded from 10.4 to 12.4.

And my Kernel logging stopped.

I have Googled and looked around and I am guessing I am using Upstart.
 Not Klogd or syslogd.

Any help would be appreciated.

You can use rdate...

install rdate with yum or whatever...

then as root

rdate time.mit.edu

You want local.repo to have same permission as remi.repo?

HI

I gave my answer based on three boxes I have they yield similar
results.   Not all users will have a directory.

I stand by my answer..

Apples and Oranges..

If you use sh...  In the command line.   as


sh ./filename The file does not need to be executable.

if you do

./filename You need to have the  x bit set...


And I agree with you.. When I write shell scripts I use a .sh extension.
Just to make it easy on myself.. It help me identify .sh from .txt files..

HI

Something is wrong here..

It is late at night and I can't put my finger on it..

You have an executable file and it does not execute?

Change to -x  and use sh filename and it does not execute?

It does not work that way here..

You are doing something and I can't see it..

YMMV

Hi

It does not seem reasonable those two process should take that much CPU
power for a long period of time.

Unless the CPU is very underrated.  Which I doubt..

Try killing speech-dispatch and see what happens?

It may be a bad install..

You could remove it and reinstall

Hi

This does not address your problem directly.

I use a program called  denyhosts for blocking ssh attempts.  It creates a
list in  /etc/hosts.deny.

Great program.

Good luck

What does

sdb5 should start at 2048,

The end of sdb5 and start of sdb6 should be one number different..

Stab in the dark..

Do dmesg, save to file, on a good one and bad one.

Do a compare of files and see if that does anything

I will do the short explanation

This expression does what I call Double expansion
 echo $($A)

First it expandsecho HI

Then it does the echo which yields   HI

In your second command

 echo 'hi'

It just echos   hi .. like it should

Sorry, if this doesn't sound real elegant..Someone will give a

With all due respect.

I disagree..

Start at the bottom and work up.

To learn assembly you need to understand the architecture of the chip.
 This understanding of chip design and then execution codes will give
a great base to start with.

If you really want to learn the metal..  Assembly is the language to
learn.  Then Bash, SED, and AWK.  Good luck

Re: dict not working

[Marvin Kosmal]

Hi

I will again suggest dict is broken...

I probably last used it a week ago.

I have two machines.

One on Fedora 13  and another I ssh into running Ubuntu..

I cannot use dict on either machine.

For me that rules out any problem I may have.

And again www.dict.org will not come up for me.

Best

Marvin

 I don't know if this is the problem, but if you issue the command:

[Marvin Kosmal]

Hi

Was trying to watch some youtube video and got a message I needed
Adobe Flash Player 10.

Is that one of the rpmfusion things or what?

TIA

Missing Codec in Fedora 13

[Marvin Kosmal]

Hi

Just installed Fedora 13.  Upgraded from 12..

My movie player will not work.

Error message below..

The playback of this movie requires a Advanced Streaming Format (ASF)
demuxer plugin which is not installed.


Neither yum or the package manager could find it.


I googled and got a 1000 hits..  After checking I am not sure who/what
to trust...

Is there a trusted Fedora site where I can get this codec??

TIA

Hi

I want to dual boot FC13 and Sabayon5.3

Desktop problem

[Marvin Kosmal]

Hi

I am using Fedora 12 and something happen to the desk top

I no longer have the icons in the upper left corner of my desk top.

I had a firefox crash a couple days ago.  I wonder if the two are connected..

Anyway, is there an easy way to get the menu back?

Firefox had its own icon so I can still do email.

I guess I could revert back to an earlier kernel and see if everything
is OK there?

TIA

Fedora13

[Marvin Kosmal]

Hi

I am using Fedora 12 now..

Am planing on going to 13..

But, am thinking I need to resize my partitions

This is what I currently have.

FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb6  27G  4.1G   22G  17% /
/dev/sdb1  27G  222M   25G   1% /boot
/dev/sdb2  13G  3.4G  8.4G  29% /home
/dev/sdb7  27G  172M   25G   1% /home2
/dev/sdb3 2.0G   35M  1.8G   2% /opt
/dev/sdb8  24G  223M   22G   1% /tmp


I know I am wasting a lot of my drive..

I want to dual boot with sabayon 5.3.  

So I was thinking:
For Fedora.

/boot  2G
/home 13G
/usr  6G
/   6G

for sabayon 5.3

/boot 2G
/home 13G
/usr 6G
/  6G

I am open to suggestions..

I really like Fedora.

Thanks

Re: sshd Authentication refused

[Marvin Kosmal]

Hi

If this a new install I do believe you need to regenerate the key.

Try this..

Do a plain ssh  using password.

Like

ssh m...@mydomain.com

and it should ask for password.

If that works.  Then you know ssh link is working.

PreUpgrade

Hi

I am currently using FC12

I read the Howto..  And I think I am ready..

The program will not change any partitioning on the HD will it??

I am still new to Fedora but, love it..

Is there anything I should know?  That is not in the Howto?
