Re: Newbie Help With Fedora 9 installation
Thanks Kam Leo, I have already downloaded the DVD ISO again and verified the file with the SHA1 checksum calculator mentioned in the Read ME file. The CheckSum matches...But had to go leave for work.. once i get back...let me see how the installation goes. Thanks for the links. @ Armin, Thanks...that is almost the same procedure i followed when i did the Fedora 7 installation. I wanted to upgrade it to fedora 9.

You _could_ boot a qemu/kvm/user-mode-linux which only has access (ro) to /dev/sdb2 and run "vgs -v" inside that to get the UUID of the older volume group. Something like the following: blockdev --setro /dev/sdb2 qemu -boot d -cdrom livcd.iso -hdb /dev/sdb2 ...wait for qemu to boot and then run "vgs -v" in a terminal and note down the UUID. exit from qemu blockdev --setrw /dev/sdb2 vgrename the_uuid_you_found new_vg_name I haven't tried this myself but it should work.

Originally passwords had their hashes in the passwd file; the hashes are one way and expensive to reverse, but not strong enough by modern standards. A user with no password had a "*" in the crypt field of the passwd file. Because UNIX crypts can be brute forced these days, and on general principles (passwords, and by extension their hashes, are secrets) the hashes got moved into /etc/shadow, which is not publicly readable and hods the hashes and some other information (expiry times etc). And to signify that the hash was _not_ inline in the passwd, and passwd entry with a hash in /etc/shadow has an "x" in the crypt field. It looks like they have gone for the same scheme with groups. Regarding your question about group password, there is a command called "newgrp" for having a process obtain membership in a particular group. See "man newgrp".

I am going to disable IPv6 until I get this sorted out so I have closer symmetry with the original. I disable IPv6, and leave it that way. Though there are a few IPv6 services in the wild, my ISP (supposedly) doesn't support IPv6 yet, and my modem definitely doesn't. I do not have a server, just three Linux boxes. Connectivity is handled through Linksys. Linksys is a brand, I had to go back through the thread to find out what particular device you're referring to, Linksys WRT54GL, a wireless router and wired network switch, which makes use of an external modem (or not, if you connect to your ISP without needing any modem). In essence, this is your server. Generally, *it* will be the gateway to the internet for your other PCs, it may also be the DNS server for them (many of these devices will act as a local DNS server, so you don't have to configure each PC with the ISP's DNS server address - useful, so you don't have to reconfigure them all should the ISP change their server address). They can also be a DHCP server, that will configure the network addresses of any device attached to your LAN, automatically. But often these all-in-one devices don't tie their DHCP server to their DNS server, so your local machine names aren't entered into their DNS server. This can be a problem with things that need names and IPs fixed together (such as mail servers, and SSH), in which case it can be easier to turn off its DHCP server, and set things up statically on each PC. I can't see anything on the Linksys website that suggests it enters DHCP assigned addresses into its DNS server. In my opinion, you're better off with a fully integrated DNS and DHCP server combination, *or* to completely ignore DHCP and use static addresses. Trying a half-arsed approach just makes things painful. It does sound like you are suggesting to do the default setting for the install and change later (??? --- yes, this is a question) Yes, do whatever's needed for the install (or ignore that step, if you don't need networking during the install), then reconfigure post-install, if needed. If I may ask, would you suggest directly editing ifcfg-eth0 as I think Joel is suggesting? It shouldn't be necessary, and if you still have automatic configuring programmes running on the computer, you'll be fighting against them. Whichever method you use for manual configuration, turn off the automatic alternatives. You can use the configuration tools provided by Fedora, they work for me. There's a "network" administration tool in the Gnome menus, KDE will have something similar. On my own network, I have a variety of machines, and do not want to have to hand-edit hosts files all over the place. I have a DNS and DHCP server working together on a Fedora box (which also has mail and web servers, etc.). The server has a fixed address, all the client PCs use DHCP to let the server configure them, there's no manual configuring needed on the clients, other than to tell them what their own hostnames are. I fix IPs, for things that need them, by configuring the DHCP server. For things that don't need fixed IPs, the DHCP server has a range of addresses it'll pick from. Tim: Thanks for the suggestions. Between this and the earlier ones I have gotten I am thinking I am seeing the light in all this. The info about the separation of what is needed for the install and the configuration afterwards may seem obvious to more experienced folks ... for me it was new and helped alot with understanding earlier suggestions. I'll try again this weekend. And I'll try not to write such verbose replies ...

it will be formatted as Fedora package reviewers are accustomed to

Let rpm do the work for you. With an empty %files section, rpmbuild
will complain that files were found in the buildroot¹ that were not
listed. From there, you can add these files (or shell-style globs) to
the %files section. Most spec files tend to have fairly short
%files sections. For example, the paperkey package looks like this:
%files
%defattr(-,root,root,-)
%doc AUTHORS ChangeLog COPYING NEWS README
%{_bindir}/%{name}
%{_mandir}/man1/%{name}.1.gz
If this was your first spec file and you didn't know about the %{}
macros, it could be written using the full paths.

Is it worth mentioning that building packages as root has been known
to kill kittens and other small mammals?
¹ Despite the name, the buildroot is the location where rpm installs
the package.

The LVM system uses UUIDs (which are almost guaranteed to be unique) to label each LVM PV, VG, and LV. I believe you can use "vgscan" to display them, and then reference the UUID of the VG in question when you run "vgrename" to rename it to something *not* "VolGroup00". It's hard for people to know to name their VGs something else when they first use LVM, but I tend to name them after my systems.

Do you want to only do this when the following line starts with a comma?
A little state machine might do (untested):
h # stash first line in hold space
:again
n # get next line
/^,/{ # starts with comma? do this stuff
H # append line to hold space
x # get hold space
s/\n// # remove embedded newline
x # put it back
b again # repeat for next line
}
x # pull back hold space for printing
Put that in a file called "sedf" and try:
sed -f sedf < olddata >newdata
and see how it goes. I think it will eat the last line as written.

That's what works for me (Evo version 2.22.3 on F9). The Gmail Help page has full information. poc PS "Works" is a relative term here.

Also, I've never seen traceroute output quite like you show. Could you do traceroutes from your "firewall" machine to hosts in the other "lans" and from hosts in the other "lans" to hosts in the other "lans" that would have to cross the "firewall" machine and post the output of that information?

My problem is related but not exactly the same. In my case I have upgraded from FC5 to F9 by doing a fresh install on a new hard drive, and I need to mount the old FC5 boot disk to copy some stuff off of it. "mount /dev/sdb2 /driveb" doesn't work for the reasons noted (/dev/sdb2 is a container and not a volume). So, I said "lvm vgscan" and got: File descriptor 20 left open Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2 Found volume group "VolGroup00" using metadata type lvm2 Then I said "pvs" and got: File descriptor 20 left open PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sda2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 111.59G 32.00M /dev/sdb2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a-76.22G 32.00M (Hope the formatting and column alignment on the above doesn't come through all screwed up...) Apparently it thinks that both volumes are named VolGroup00 (instead of ...00 and ...01) so things like lvm vgchange don't do any good because it doesn't know which VolGroup00 to make available. /dev/mapper contains: crw-rw 1 root root 10, 60 2008-09-22 11:20 control brw-rw 1 root disk 253, 0 2008-09-22 15:20 VolGroup00-LogVol00 brw-rw 1 root disk 253, 1 2008-09-22 11:20 VolGroup00-LogVol01 ... with no corresponding LogVol00/01 for VolGroup01 (since the system was told that both of the volumes are named VolGroup00). I've Googled everything I can think of and am out of ideas.

This is a frustration I came upon fairly early in using f9. The absence of control of what the system should do with CDs, DVDs and thumb drives. They all mount on my machine but i don't know why. Part of the answer is in:System->Preferences->Personal->File Management Preferences-> Media Browse Media when inserted for example.. But I am not sure what that does exactly. -- === Now is the time for drinking; now the time to beat the earth with unfettered foot. -- Quintus Horatius Flaccus (Horace) === Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Re: Newbie Help With Fedora 9 installation
Thanks for replying Aldo and Armin. Yes i am downloading from a windows system. I was downloading to a logical drive with a FAT32 file system... I went through the documentation again.. So i guess that must be the problem. Apparently downloading to an NTFS filesystem doesn't seem to have that problem. Will try that. I just need a back up copy of the entire dvd anyway. so i would have to download the file again. I 've burnt that corrupted file on 2 DVDs already :) Thanks for the help, guys.

Are you using bittorrent from a Windows PC? There may be issues downloading ISO images larger than 2GB.

Does your computer connect directly to the Internet (To the cable/DSL modem, or dialup?) or are you going through another computer or a firewall/router? Do you want things to be set up automatically, or do you want to enter them by hand? Depending on your setup, and what you are trying to do, you may be trying to use the wrong tool for the job. But there is no way to tell that from the information you have given us.

Hi guys,

Thanks in advance!

http://freshmeat.net/projects/checkinstall/
I have used checkinstall, and it will make a 'get you going' spec file, but
the produced spec file is not very nice.
I took the one it made for me (for the software I wanted to package) and
compared it to the one that comes with the kernel from fedora, and made
changes that seemed sane. {I understand reasonably how to do the kernel
compile by hand, so seeing how they did it in the spec file gave me clues to
how to do what I wanted.}
such changes as:
-BuildRoot: /var/tmp/XALTPlcbbmBlCXeZdMMaE/package
+BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
just before the %files entry.
+%clean
+rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
Also the fedora guidelines may point you towards filling in some things you
might not have thought about, and if you follow them might get what ever
package you are making the spec for accepted in fedora faster.

Is there any way to make creation of spec files easier? some tools etc ... ? Thanks in advance! David Both vim and emacs will create a basic spec for you by simply editing a non existant spec file. $ vim new.spec will create a basic spec file if new.spec does not exist in the current directory. However, creating good spec files is a bit of a black art, I am afraid to say. You will need to install: rpmdevtools and run: /usr/bin/rpmdev-setuptree That creates your rpmbuild directory tree. From there, you will find the field is broad, and the sky is the limit. :) There are tools to watch 'make install' to discover what happens and duplicate it for a %files section for a spec file, but using those tools is a separate art form in itself. I have found that most apps using 'configure' (automake) tools will have fairly easy to read install: sections in the generated Makefile. The rpm spec file: %files section allows for directories, making it easier. So basically, make a generic .spec file, copy the source tarball to ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES, try: rpmbuild -ba my.spec, and watch for errors, like the naming of the tar ball has to match the versioning specified in the spec file. Also the directory that the tar ball is extracted into should match the version. That is the simplest form. You will want some references: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/index.html http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ Look for the section called: Creating the spec file One last piece of advice: Always run rpmbuild as your user, and NOT root. If your .spec file needs root to do something, you are doing it wrong. :) Good Luck! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I have the exact same wireless desktop and mine quit working as well. I install/reinstall/test various things on this workstation, so I had reinstalled F9 and didn't run the xorg updates as of yet due to the problems. But you weren't running under the new updates as of yet, so when you rebooted, it was then that you were running under them and that is when your mouse wouldn't work. You will need to grab the fixed package from koji to get it working again I guess. Bout to do it myself in the next couple minutes. Will post the result right after in case you want to wait. -- Mike Chambers Fedora Project - Ambassador, Bug Zapper, Tester, User, etc..

And, by auto-mounting system, you mean the GUI facilities, not "autofs", right? autofs is monitoring /misc and /net by default. (see /etc/auto.master) GUI facilities are auto-mounting under /media (i.e., see gnome-mount) Manual mounting should be done under /mnt HTH, --Rob -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I can't say that's happening, but this has all of the characteristics of that. It could also be caused by an upgrade of sshd, although I read your posts to say that only you could do that. It would be useful to use 'ps' to see which sshd is running, and to do an 'ls -l' and md5sum on the executable and post the values here. Also a telnet to the ssh port usually gives the protocol and sshd version, although that can be faked.

Just how old a Fedora do you have? This doesn't look at all as I would expect. You might do "ls -lc /bin/ps" and see if that was recently replaced as well. However: > ls -l /usr/sbin/sshd > -rwxr-xr-x1 root root 3963123 sep 16 00:03 /usr/sbin/sshd This looks as if the sshd was replaced a few days ago, shortly before your first message to the list. That makes it even more likely that passwords are being captured, perhaps even entire connect sessions. It looks as if the machine has been totally penetrated, and of course if you don't use different account names and passwords for other machines they have as well. -- Bill Davidsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

On second thoughts, the above really isn't acceptable. Extra features should be added to the existing right-click menu, not replacing it. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
