Authentication for AFS  is done by Kerberos. Furthermore you need an AFS token.

So the sequence of commands at my university is

   kinit
   aklog

Afterwards I've access to the directories behind /afs.

"man kinit" and "man aklog" recommended for further reading.

did you web search or dell site?

does voltage decrease to 0.00 v?

boot to bios or a live cd/dvd. monitor voltage. if still happens,

strange behavior of external esatausb ports on a Dell laptop

2015-08-25 Thread jd1008

On a Dell E6510 laptop, there are 4 ports: 3 USB, and 1 eSata.
The ports on the left side of the laptop are USB and eSata.
Both of these ports start losing voltage after some time of
operation, say 1 hours to 5 hours.
I say lose voltage, because I actually hooked up a 5volt DC
tiny fan to the usb port (no HD connected to eSata port beneath it.
After about 90 minutes, the fan slowed down.
I unplugged it and connected it to the usb port on the right side
of the laptop and it imnediately resumed it's normal rpm and stayed there
until shutdown several hours later.
P.S: The voltage drop occurs on both ports on the left. The
eSata port also functions as a usb port, and the fan slowed down
on it as well.
Connecting a sata dist to the eSata port leads to the disk disappearing
from /dev when the voltage drops.

Power management is not enabled as laptop is always on AC.
Screensaver's power management is configured to never turn off monitor, 
nor disks

nor suspend system ...etc.

So, what might be causing the voltage drop, and how can I prevent it 
from happening?

What data do I need to gather?

The university has AFS space for me provided at /afs/z.edu/users/xx/yy/me 
/mnt/afs

where z.edy is the university domain name and the xx and yy are digits 
which have my directory (me). 

I tried the following:


mount_afp -o volpass=password  /afs/z.edu/users/xx/yy/me  /mnt/afs 

but I get 

Could not parse URL

How should this URL be parsed? 

I tried:

https://webfiles.z.edu/?path=/afs/z.edu/users/xx/yy/me

but got nowhere (same error message). 

Is there an example I could follow?

Many thanks,

 thank you for your reply.  As it turns out the ln command

ln -s Test/afile Test/afile1

does create the link.


Of course it does. It is just a string. You can put pretty much anything you 
like in there.



The problem as you noted is the ls command.


No, the problem is that the string in the symlink is _wrong_. "ls" is behaving 
correctly. What you have put in the symlink is wrong, because it does not 
correctly point at the target file.


You can either manually construct a correct symlink (suggestions above) or if 
you have GNU ln (true on Fedora) use the -r option to have it figure this out 
for you.

Shouldn't this suffice?  After all they are in the same directory.  With
your solution, the link will break if the directory is renamed.

Firstly, run "/bin/ls", not "ls". Many system ship with an alias

Unix is user-friendly. It's just picky about who its friends are.

Cameron,
  thank you for your reply.  As it turns out the ln command

ln -s Test/afile Test/afile1

does create the link.  The problem as you noted is the ls command. If I do

/bin/ls -l Test

I get

total 0
-rw-rw-r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri  0 Aug 25 08:20 afile
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 10 Aug 25 08:20 afile2 -> Test/afile

But doing

ls -l Test

I get

/bin/ls: cannot access Test/afile2: No such file or directory
total 0
-rw-rw-r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 0 Aug 25 08:20 afile
l?? ? ? ? ?? afile2

I'll probably file a bug against freeradius indicating the documentation 
is wrong :-)


The correct way to do the link is

mkdir Test2
cd Test2
ln -s ../Test/file file
cd ..

/bin/ls -l Test2
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 10 Aug 25 08:29 afile -> Test/afile
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 13 Aug 25 08:29 afile2 -> ../Test/afile

ls -l Test2
total 0
-rw-rw-r--. 1 pgaltieri pgaltieri 0 Aug 25 08:20 afile

which is what I expect to see.  The ls command is an alias of /bin/ls -LCFb.

Again thank you for your help.

Re: F22: how to mount AFS directory?

2015-08-25 Thread birger
Once you start the OpenAFS client it will by default attach itself at
/afs IIRC. You can change the default in a config file or the command
line.

The way I used AFS a lng time back, it used Kerberos to
authenticate you to the AFS network, and everything you had access to
was available in that /afs top level structured by Kerberos domains and
then local file system structures. There was no mounting in the
traditional sense. It is one big, cloudy repository that was primarily
used by collaborating scientists. You could browse around and find all
kinds of interesting stuff. :-) I used Scientific Linux (fork of
CentOS) back then, and it had AFS installed by default.

It's a long time ago, so I may be hazy on this.

Patrick,

Thanks! I did look at that page, but it seemed to me that that was written from 
the view of how to run an AFS server. Maybe I did not read carefully, but i was 
looking for how one mounts an AFS server. In the case of a CIFS mount (say), I 
can use the command:

/sbin/mount.cifs //full.path.to.server /mnt/local.directory -o nounix -o 
username=me,domain=domain.name,sec=ntlmv2

Is there a similar command for AFS mounts?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

For such a step, evaluating where we are today should come first, IMO.
Then you can compare with how others do it, whether they distribute
their users to the same number of mirrors world-wide, or whether they
prefer a few mirrors run by passioned admins.

The master repository is updated.

Announcements are mailed out.

Users read an announcement, but they don't "see" the updates yet.
WTF? Why not? Forum posts around the world suggest "yum clean all"
and "dnf clean all" as _the fix_. But it isn't a fix, if the nearby
mirrors don't carry the changed repo contents yet. dnf --refresh
doesn't force retrieval of latest repodata either. (And that it even
reverted to old data is an unrelated bug in the implementation.)
Any automatically triggered check of the metadata would have achieved
the same, if done at the right time. Mirrors not being up-to-date,
nothing new to fetch.

Updates become available as soon as they arrive on the nearby mirrors.
Is that sent as a clear message to all Fedora users? I don't think so.

On average, how long does it take for updates to arrive on the mirrors?
Is anything known here? How long does it take for updates to arrive in
another country? Are there any high-priority mirrors, who likely carry
the latest changes quickly after release? Would it be possible to assign
users to nearby repos in a more reliable way? Questions, questions,
questions.

Re: low resolution after grub2

2015-08-25 Thread Pál , László
I've fighted a lot with prop nvidia driver and bumblebee, but finally I
given up :) It was too painful, so I'm using nouveu now and the following
grub config works perfectly. Please note, optimus with nouveau is better
and better every day, so maybe you should give a chance

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep"
GRUB_VIDEO_BACKEND="vbe"
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm"
GRUB_FONT_PATH="/boot/grub2/fonts/unicode.pf2"
GRUB_GFXMODE="1600x900x32"

You may have to play with the blacklisted modules as well due to the
bumblebee/proprietary config

I suppose it would have been nice for the "Description" to make that clear.  :-)

The dnf-plugins-core package only contains manual pages, whereas
python-dnf-plugins-core contains the actual plugins for python2 and
python3-dnf-plugins-core contains the plugins for python3 (all built from
the same source rpm).

 dnf-plugins-core acts more as a -common package or a meta package that,
currently, pulls python-dnf-plugins-core (but python-dnf-plugins-core
doesn't require dnf-plugins-core); I guess in future when dnf switches to
using python3 by default it'll require python3-dnf-plugins-core.
