Re: DHCP assistance required.
Hi Simon,
The same config works fine for me. I use
default-lease-time 3000;
max-lease-time 3000;
What is the version of dhcp you are using?

In the end, KDE 4.2 requires MySQL (server) to be installed. And where's the problem? It doesn't use much disk space and you don't have to configure anything, you only need the executable. (And the systemwide service, which Akonadi does not need, is disabled by default in the mysql-server package anyway, as it ought to be.) Why is it a problem that you need an executable which happens to be called mysqld? How's that worse than, say, kded4 or to take a GNOME example, gnome-settings-daemon or gnome-keyring-daemon? It's just a daemon which happens to be a database. > And by default, akonadi uses a local MySQL instance. That's weird for a > desktop workstation, and it's the wrong way to use a database like MySQL. What alternative do you suggest? You surely can't expect all users to configure their own database server! Starting up a local, automatically configured, per-user instance is the only possible default which just works.

DHCP assistance required.
G'day all,
I'm just starting to get to know dhcp and have got stuck very
early on
with the dhcp parser rejecting dhcpd.conf as shown below:
Feb 17 16:46:36 dell dhcpd: /etc/dhcpd.conf line 4: expecting a
parameter or declaration
Feb 17 16:46:36 dell dhcpd: default-lease-time 600;
Feb 17 16:46:36 dell dhcpd:^
The dhcpd.conf file is very basic to begin with:
[r...@dell network-scripts]# cat /etc/dhcpd.conf
#Sample /etc/dhcpd.conf
# (add your comments here)
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 600;
max−lease−time 7200;
#option subnet−mask 255.255.255.0;
#option broadcast−address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.254;
#option domain−name−servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2;
#option domain−name "mydomain.org";
authoritative;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.199;
}
[r...@dell network-scripts]#
All the examples I can find have a similar line for default lease time
(line 4 here), but the parser seems to want more. There is nothing
after the ";" so what do I need?

Disabling mouse taps on Fedora 10
Hi, I've spent the whole day googling and looking at the Fedora List Archives. All I need to do is disable mouse taps in my mouse pad. I've edited /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-synaptics.fdi over and over, but apparently, I don't know the syntax or how it really all works. And all I got was fragmented pieces of information from my research. I would like to adhere to the new approach to configuring hardware. I'm assuming that creating an xorg.conf file just confuses things and doesn't address the new way of doing things. Ok, so does anyone know how to correctly edit an FDI file to disable mouse taps (and which file)? Or is there a better way? Btw... I'm running KDE 4.2.0 Thanks in advance, Rocco -- 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

problems compiling source code using gcc

Re: KDE 4.2 requires local MySQL Server
Mark Haney wrote: > And yes akonadi does require MySWL, but KDE 4.2 does NOT require > akonadi. So my point is still very valid. In Fedora 10, akonadi cannot be un-installed without removing KDE. And KDE cannot be updated to version 4.2 without updating akonadi as well. In the end, KDE 4.2 requires MySQL (server) to be installed. Yes, you may run KDE without akonadi, and akonadi may use remote databases, but Fedora 10 insists on installing MySQL server packages if you want to have KDE 4.2. And by default, akonadi uses a local MySQL instance. That's weird for a desktop workstation, and it's the wrong way to use a database like MySQL. Are all KDE core developers aware of this new dependency, and are they all happy about it? However, I accept the fact that KDE 4.2 now depends on MySQL, and installing a different Linux distribution after all these years won't help because sooner or later all other Linux distributions will have the same dependencies which come from akonadi (and without akonadi, you cannot install KDE). So, until GNOME people start their local MySQL instances as well, the only option is to remove KDE from the system. It's okay. Fedora has always been more GNOME-ish than KDE-ish, so it's not such a big loss. I'm not using KDE as my default desktop environment, but I liked some KDE apps. Will search for alternatives.

From their, you can go down the tree one level and install the standard group packages with one checkbox.

Also having used other OSs that names start with "sh.." I can't really recall such useful functionality. There are all sorts of unused things on those systems that aren't listed, nor made to be uninstallable in any way, at all. Not to mention things that should have been uninstallable, because they're on the list, but the uninstall fouled up terribly. But the idea of such a thing is moderately simple: It's a database. One that stores what's installed, and various information about it. And, rather obviously, it knows nothing about anything that wasn't put into the database. All the OSs can have software run on them that aren't installed through a system that adds them to such a database, so it lets you down in that area, straight away. To have a database that includes information about what's used, would require YOUR user interface (menus, desktop icon launches, links between programs, etc.) to also add data to the database. It's do-able, but not done here. I'm not sure that I'd want to, either. How do you distinguish between: Important to be kept, but only used once or twice, so it doesn't look like it's important to be kept; looked at something a few times, but don't actually use it (don't need it, can't figure it out, people just had a look to see what it was, etc.); the user does actually make use of it; the thing gets run, but nobody actually uses it. > Since I want to migrate toward FC10, I'd like to find me a list of the > things which I use, so as to have a more targeted installation, without > all the bells, whistles, pots & pans that "someone" has decided I ought > to have That shouldn't be too hard.

With all due respect Craig, what the hell use is it then when ALL the documentation is wrong? ... /tmp itself is drwxr-xr-x amanda disk system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 tmp Well, that's totally wrong. I'm curious about how permissions on /tmp got broken. That's almost certainly what caused the problem. My guess is that the first time mysql started, it began the initialization process for the databases in /var/lib/mysql, but failed partially through because of the problem with /tmp. After that, MySQL will not continue trying to initialize, so you've got a bad database. To correct the problem, you need to make sure that /tmp is in good order. It should look like this: # ls -ldZ /tmp drwxrwxrwt root root system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 /tmp/ If it doesn't, then "chmod 1777 /tmp" and "chown root:root /tmp" Next, delete the contents of /var/lib/mysql. That directory must also exist and must have the correct permissions. It should look like this: $ ls -ldZ /va/lib/mysql drwxr-xr-x mysql mysql system_u:object_r:mysqld_db_t /var/lib/mysql Once those two directories are fixed, you *should* be able to start msyql, and use the cli "mysql" and "mysqladmin" tools without a password.

Something is obviously completely fubar. I don't think you have to resort to that. MySql stores its settings in one of its own databases, usually /var/lib/mysql/mysql. If you really just want to start from scratch and you are sure there are no databases you need inside the directory /var/lib/myslq you could delete everything in there: "rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/*". Once that is empty take a look for mysql installers. e.g. "locate mysql | grep '/bin/' | grep install" Execute whichever one seems most promising and you should end up with a brand new out-of-the-box wide open mysql database setup. Start the mysqld server. Run mysqladmin and set the root password.

Anne, I also have akonadi running but have no idea why: % pgrep -fl akonadi 10876 /usr/bin/akonadi_control 10878 akonadiserver 10880 /usr/libexec/mysqld --defaults-file=/home/poc/.local/share/akonadi//mysql.conf --datadir=/home/poc/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ --socket=/home/poc/.local/share/akonadi/db_misc/mysql.socket 10901 /usr/bin/akonadi_kabc_resource --identifier akonadi_kabc_resource_0 10902 /usr/bin/akonadi_vcard_resource --identifier akonadi_vcard_resource_0 10910 /usr/bin/akonadi_kabc_resource --identifier akonadi_kabc_resource_1 I don't use any of the kdepim components that I'm aware of. Furthermore, attempting to remove akonadi leads to removing virtually all of KDE including kdebase and kdelibs, so the question as to whether it's "necessary" seems academic. poc -- 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

Below is what I use to pull x86_64 and i386 repos for Fedora 10 and rawhide
plus rpm fusion. If you have both i386 and x86_64 machines you want to pull
stuff for both at one as the x86_64 repo's include some of the i386 stuff and
you don't need to grab it twice. If you don't want x86_64 stuff remove all of
the options that refer to it in path names. The same goes for rawhide (remove
options that refer to development in path names).
Check the mirror list to see if other mirrors are more suitable for you.

Re: myqsl dummy needs help
The documentation on the MySQL website that I pointed to, and that detailed in Paul DuBois' book, absolutely works for all Fedora implementations of MySQL. The Fedora distro packagers do not do anything "Fedora different" from a standard MySQL installation. I know from having studied the spec files in Fedora source packages for mysql-server and from having to clean up my own messes now and then that this is so. What is important...is to very carefully read and research the documentation provided first, before ever doing anything.

You can always stop mysqld service, empty contents of /var/lib/mysql and start the service if you don't care about any of the setup.

No, that works for me, however, the OP mentions KDE4.2 /requiring/ MySQL. And, no it does not require it for every instance. But yes if it is a component you want, it is necessary. But that's splitting hairs. KDE4.2 runs just fine without akonadi, therefor it does not require MySQL. If for whatever reason 4.2 would NOT run fine without MySQL, then I'd agree with you. To me, akonadi is useless and a waste of resources, much like Beagle is on GNOME. But then, to me GNOME is a waste of resources. I'd like to speak to the goon decided on GNOME's latest interface. If anything, GNOME is Linux Vista.

If a component you want requires a resource, it is, by definition, necessary. Or are you using an alternate definition of necessary. As an uninformed observer, the requirement of mysql-server seems over kill, but it's a 21MB download that only consumes as much resources as is required at any one time. -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com ) -- 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

So have I Bob, and other than disclosing my /tmp perms weren't as wide open as
they needed to be, which was denying INNoDB permission to write a scratch
file, no change. I even ripped it out and reinstalled even more of it,
again, no change.
The only way I can access it is with:
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
So where is this "grant-tables"?

I don't run akonadi server at all. And it works just fine. As for all the comments about KDE being 'Vista' I'd like to point out that GNOME uses Beagle (if I recall) which is very similar to Akonadi.

With all due respect Craig, what the hell use is it then when ALL the
documentation is wrong?
Now, I just had the bright idea of looking at the mysqld.log after ripping
it all out and putting even more of it back in, and see this:
[r...@coyote etc]# cat /var/log/mysqld.log
090216 13:30:36 mysqld ended
090216 13:30:45 mysqld started
/usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/tmp/ibnoIZas' (Errcode: 13)
090216 13:30:45 InnoDB: Error: unable to create temporary file; errno: 13
090216 13:30:45 [Note] /usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections.
Version: '5.0.45' socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' port: 3306 Source
distribution
So obviously /tmp doesn't have the right perms. Or at least I assume (there
is that word again) that an error 13 is permissions related. Selinux is in
targeted mode, enabled, and it isn't fussing.
/tmp itself is drwxr-xr-x amanda disk system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 tmp
but nearly everything in it is root:root except the amanda and amanda-debug
directories. So I just changed tmp to drwxrwxrwx But that also didn't change
anything. Or did it, now the log shows this when I restart mysqld:
090216 13:51:44 mysqld started
InnoDB: The first specified data file ./ibdata1 did not exist:
InnoDB: a new database to be created!
090216 13:51:44 InnoDB: Setting file ./ibdata1 size to 10 MB
InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait...
090216 13:51:45 InnoDB: Log file ./ib_logfile0 did not exist: new to be created
InnoDB: Setting log file ./ib_logfile0 size to 5 MB
InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait...
090216 13:51:45 InnoDB: Log file ./ib_logfile1 did not exist: new to be created

InnoDB: Database physically writes the file full: wait...
InnoDB: Doublewrite buffer not found: creating new

Version: '5.0.45' socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' port: 3306 Source
distribution
Which says one problem seems to be sorted, at the expense of a huge security
hole in /tmp as anyone can do anything there now.
Ok, so now try a login again:
[r...@coyote /]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password:
YES)
[r...@coyote /]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password:
NO)
[r...@coyote /]#
Seems like this is where I started, isn't it?
Now that the tmp perms is sorted, I suppose I need to go back and do all that
other stuff again...
Which I just did, and di

With databases, you need to do careful research first and foremost.
Otherwise you make a big mess and it becomes far worse to fix.
