Re: Keeping Logical Volume during conversion from Fedora to RHEL 5.2
I've been trying to figure this out on my own and think I understand what I need to do. Here's the detailed steps as far as I can tell. Can somebody please verify this? 1. On Fedora 9 system, unmount the logical volume and then run vgexport. 2. Install RHEL 5.2 3. On RHEL5 system, run vgimport. Does it matter what order you give the physical device names or will the system sort everything out?

On Fedora, what you are looking for to be compatible with the largest subset them would be OpenSWAN (Debian / Ubuntu chose to go with StrongSWAN). OpenSWAN and StrongSWAN are very similar (both being derived from the now defunct FreeS/WAN project) with similar configurations and both now support both IKE (Internet Key Exchange) and IKE2, although IKE2 is less mature than IKE. IKE will probably suffice for the cases you quote above, other than the java web based (which is probably a proprietary SSL based vpn over tcp tunnels which will suck royally for performance and scalability). > Anyone have recommendations for a good VPN tool (tools) ? If you're rolling your own from scratch and are not real worried about performance and can install third party apps on Windows then OpenVPN is a good choice recommended by many. If you are after standards based vpn and interoperability and performance, then OpenSWAN / IPSec would be a better choice. I use both depending on circumstances. OpenVPN makes a nice IPv6 tunnel broker configuration which I can't do with the current *SWAN implementations - but may be able with IKE2 as that matures. OpenVPN is also nice as a backup P2P VPN and outperforms SSL or SSH based VPN's but doesn't keep up with IPSec based VPN's under heavy load. At one time, it was argued that OpenVPN was much easier to deploy, configure, and use and the arguments would have been valid. Back then. Over the years, OpenVPN has become more feature-full (read that as more complex, difficult to configure, and obtuse to get to work in a lot of corner cases) while OpenSWAN/StrongSWAN/FreeSWAN has become much much easier (OTOH, Racoon / setkey is still a rocket scientist head case) to configure and deploy. Now a days I don't find IPSec any more difficult to configure than OpenVPN and it will interface with Cisco's and other black boxs which OpenVPN will NOT. OpenSWAN or StrongSWAN will interface with modern Windows (XP, 2003, Vista, etc) vpn's which OpenVPN will not (you have to install the OpenVPN client package on Windows which you may or may not be allowed to do depending on environment). Also, IPSec is implemented in the Linux kernel and the tunnels run in kernel space which is a performance win (no user space switching on packet routing). IPSec also supports both an ESP mode (classical IPSec) and an ESP-IN-UDP encapsulation for IPSec NAT-T, which carries additional overhead but will traverse NAT's. OpenVPN, OTOH, is a user space tunnel implementation which results in lower performance, which won't really matter for smaller networks (but forced the JOIN IPv6 project to disable encrypt due to performance issues). It also utilizes ESP-IN-UDP encapsulation (and only utilizes ESP-IN-UDP), which incurs the additional UDP overhead the same as IPSec NAT-T, although it's an incompatible implementation of ESP-IN-UDP (different UDP port) from IPSec NAT-T. OpenVPN is well supported but the latest version has been in "RC" status for seemingly forever. The last 2.0 version (2.0.9) was over 2 years ago and 2.1 is only been in "release candidate" from well before then. The version in yum is an rc of the eventual 2.1 release. You really REALLY want the 2.1 release of OpenVPN for any shot at scaling large networks, since it supports a server mode on a single UDP port (IPv4 only). Earlier versions required a different UDP port for each connection (IPv6 still does) and did not scale well past a few dozen connections. Fully meshed mode does not scale well in either case with OpenVPN but is very straight forward with certificates and the *SWAN's. All of this, OpenSWAN, IPSec-Tools (Racoon), and OpenVPN is in the stock Fedora yum repos. Pick yer poison. > Thanks in advance Mike -- Michael H.

gnome-settings-daemon crashes immediately upon starting up... but only in KDE
For some odd reason, gnome-settings-daemon keeps crashing immediately upon startup, returning the following error: The program 'gnome-settings-daemon' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 2669 error_code 8 request_code 20 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

advice for data recovery
Hello All, I am trying to recover .jpgs that were on a SATA drive that was formatted by mistake. No backup of course. Foremost has done a wonderful job of recovering several tens of thousands of files. Unfortunately many of them are either irrelevant (cached web fragments, etc.) or damaged. The most common type of damage is shown when trying to view them in Nautilus, when I get a message saying, "unsupported marker type." It seems about 30% - 40% of the files recovered are damaged in this way. They aren't my images and I am not able to gauge what is worthwhile or not but I would like to do some triage by only considering those of a certain minimum size (easy to do) and not damaged (no idea.) So does anyone know of a program I can use to only copy files that are not damaged? I can sort out the teenies, but don't see how to proceed after that. TIA.

As another posted, NF is what you want to play with. Here is an example:
ls -l | awk '{ num = NF - 2 ; print $num }'
Please note that awk can use both types of shell variable notations:
With or without the dollar sign on an assignment.
So assign a value based upon NF WITHOUT the dollar sign, and print the
value WITH a dollar sign.
Hope this helps.

Linux backup help
Hi All; I'm awaiting a new linux laptop that will be my primary work machine. I want to implement a strategy that allows me as easily as possible to revert back to a former state. My primary concern is a scenario where I apply system updates and it breaks something that for me is critical. I wonder if a simple rsync script would work. If so, here's what I'm thinking: 1) updates are available so I execute the rsync script which pulls any updated files from my laptop to a backup server/drive 2) apply updates 3) if something breaks (even if I can no longer login) I boot the laptop, run the rsync script in the opposite direction (push files from the backup drive to the laptop) I assume that if I were to execute step 3 above that my system would be in the exact state that it was before I ran the updates. Is this a correct assumption ? Are there better approaches ?

fonts in f9
In in the process of upgrading from fc6 to f9, and one of the biggest aggrivations is fonts. I wont say that they have screwed things up (tho thats the way I feel) but they have definately changed things... WHY When I try to run xconfig to build a new kernel, the font size is bigger, and I dont seem to be seeing the top few items in the menus. Anyone know where to change this so I dont have to go hunting? Dito with exmh, the fonts in the table of folders are unreadable, but I know where to fix that one. And Im running twm as a window manager. In the dropdown menu for the running processes (the icon manager) the fonts are probably twice the size that they were before. Im going t assume this can be fixed somewhere in .twmrc, but if anyone has gone thruthis and found the place, I would be appreciative i you would drop a line,- it will save me some time. All these changes are going to make working between f9 and earlier systems a real pain,- Im going to have to think about how Im going to install the correct config files for each release... -- Reg.Clemens [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: Dependency Champion
I think our problem here is that the human mind has in it the concept of "soft dependencies." That is, "This program can use that feature if it's installed, or else carry on just fine without it." So removing a feature shouldn't force removal of a program that could work without the feature. But that means that every program must be smart about what it can and can't do at run time. Being myself a programmer, I understand that it is a lot of work to implement this, especially for large programs that could potentially have many optional functions. So I can't really fault programmers for taking the lazy path and saying, "My program *can* do printing, so you must have CUPS installed to install my program, whether you intend to ever print or not." It would be ideal if this were not the case, but I don't see a lot of programmers willing to put in the extra effort. In the meantime, we're stuck with, "I can't remove wireless-tools (from my machine with no wireless hardware whatsoever) unless I can live without system-config-users." This is where average users get confused and frustrated, because they understandably don't see any connection at all. -- 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

Keeping Logical Volume during conversion from Fedora to RHEL 5.2
Good morning - I have a HP DL385 running Fedora 9. It has a 5TB Apple XServe RAID connected to it. The RAID device is actually 2 2.5TB devices (/dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1) configured together in a logical volume group. I am planning on installing RHEL 5.2 on this system. Before doing so, I want to make sure that I can access the logical volume after the system is installed. I've verified that RHEL sees the /dev/sda and /dev/sdb partitions but I've never had to keep a logical volume before; I've just created them from scratch and restored data to it. That's not possible here because of the sheer amount of data. Does anyone have any words of wisdom? Thanks!

For 'localhost' in pointing the browser at its own machine. This is a vexed question here. I've given all the machines names, in hope of better telling them apart under ssh and scp. My router, however (a Netgear MBR 814, from my local access provider) sometimes uses the names and sometimes does not, in displays for me to read; I can't tell what it says to the machines about one another, so I tried things it might be saying. > 127.0.0.1 is computer speak for myself, network-wise.

Yes, I did know that much; and what I seemed to be seeing was a failure of it. Hbsk went looking for localhost, translated that into 127.0.0.1 -- and them failed to find it. So I thought it might have better luck starting from 'Hbsk'; it was an easy thing to try. > Whereas other hostnames are generally applied to other network > interfaces, and some services may not listen to them by default, for > security reasons, so that they can't be messed with by others over your > network. When I first started using names, I hoped that might be an additional benefit; I'm glad to hear it may, indeed. Incidentally, CUPS on *some* machines seems to be doing another strange thing. When I tell it with Firefox to delete a printer, or make on default, or whatever, Firefox opens a tab (labelled 426) telling me I now have to use https with some other machine's IP, 192.168.x.y; it lets me click on it; and then the whole tab goes blank. Looks to me as if it's trying to delete an unwanted printer not from its own printers.conf (which I know from the command line doesn't have it anyway) but from the other machine it imagines that printer to be attached to.
