To fix it:

1. Do an "ls -Z /dev/null" and make sure there is no _regular_ file,

Check the

2. As root, run "MAKEDEV -x null".  That should recreate the device
file.

3. Run "ls -Z /dev/null" again and you should see something like:

didn't work.

Sigh.  I should have pointed out that my /dev/null is a device (I 
knew that!)and

it is unmolested!

My device /dev/null IS as Mikkel said:
crw-rw-rw-  root root system_u:object_r:null_device_t:s0 /dev/null

Instead, there is a TEXT file created: /dev/nul  (one "l") and rkhunter
reported it's suspicions correctly.

I do NOT have any scripts that I have created (I only have
TWO scripts in my home/bin and I looked with a fine-toothed
comb.  It is not ME that created the /dev/nul (one "l")

Somewhere, the SYSTEM (script or program) is creating it.

The "clue" I left was:
===[/dev/nul]=
# more /dev/nul
nsdc: no patch necessary.



For fun,  I looked at: /etc/init.d/nsd and there was code
in two places that had: 2>%1 (a stderr redirect?) and I suspected
it was intended to be: 2>&1?  I was not sure the % was
something I have seen before - this does not exists in the
entire /etc/init.d directory except for nsd!  Bug

Thanks!
Dan


I also found the same problems in:
/etc/cron.hourly/nsd

There are three places where the same 2>%1 appears
but ALSO there is that /dev/nul (one "l") !!!

Now, the question I have is: is 2>%1 a valid redirect
string?  If not, then it is only the cron script in 3 places

Drat:  change above: "If not," to "If is valid"

but if it is not, then there are 5 places, two in init.d and
three in the cron script.

Thanks!

Redhat 2 error message during kernel install

2009-03-26 Thread Paul Ward

Hi all,

I know this is not Fedora but it is close enough I think.

I have just updated a Redhat 2 box running kernel "
uname -a
Linux erato 2.4.9-e.72enterprise #1 SMP Tue Jul 3 21:57:23 EDT 2007 i686 unknown

When installing a new kernel after downloading it via rhn I got the follwoing:
[r...@erato up2date]# rpm -ivh kernel/kernel-enterprise-2.4.9-e.74.i686.rpm
Preparing...### [100%]
   1:kernel-enterprise  ### [100%]
All of your loopback devices are in use!

I checked arounf the web but struggled to find an answer.
It seems according to grub it did not write the initrd line into the
config, so I guess the initrd went wrong.

I looked at the mods loaded and noticed no loop device, however after
the attemped install the folloing line appeared.
[r...@erato up2date]# lsmod
Module  Size  Used byNot tainted
loop   11952   0

At this point I ran out of ideas, can anyone suggest what step to take
next, this is a live server and as such do not want tt do lots of
reboots, it is also a remote server that I only have access to via
ssh, so want to be careful about what I do to the network and loopback
device.

Thanks

Paul

any idea where to look?

Hmm...  I have not seen this before... is this normal?


In /etc/init.d/nsd, there is code in two places that uses:

start()
[...]
/usr/sbin/nsdc rebuild >/dev/null 2>%1
[...]
and

stop()
[...]
/usr/sbin/nsdc patch > /dev/null 2>%1
[...]

what is this:  2>%1  <--  should the % be & as in 2>&1 ???

If it's really "/dev/nul" instead of "/dev/null", there IS a problem
somewhere, and yes, probably a script...

Do NOT ignore it.  I don't think you quite understand what /dev/null
is.  It is supposed to be a device, not a file.  Somehow it got deleted
and now whenever a script or something does a redirect of its output to
/dev/null, instead of going to a device (and thence into the bit 
bucket), it creates a file called /dev/null.


To fix it:

1. Do an "ls -Z /dev/null" and make sure there is no _regular_ file,
directory, symlink, pipe or anything else called "/dev/null".  Check the
first character of the permissions.  If it's anything other than a "c"
then delete the file (you may need to do an "rm -rf /dev/null" to kill
it).

2. As root, run "MAKEDEV -x null".  That should recreate the device
file.

3. Run "ls -Z /dev/null" again and you should see something like:

This information kinda re-enforces that its a typo in a script somewhere.

Is the text really "nsdc:" or is it "nscd:"?  nscd would be the Name 
Service Caching Daemon.


My F9 system exhibits no such behaviour.  Then again, I'm not running 
nscd on my F9 system, instead I'm using named which is running on my F8 
server.

I am afraid it is so.  I was at the Bookpool warehouse a week or two
ago and they were in the process of closing down.  They were selling
their [empty] metal shelves even as I was shopping.  I was able to
talk to the owner and it is unclear whether the closure is permanent
or temporary.  The owner did not know whether Bookpool.com would stays
closed, reopens or opens in a new form and how long it would take to
make that decision.

The number of shelves still containing books was about half of what
they were a year ago.  I am surprised that they had to shut their
"doors" so soon.  I am assuming that they are closed based on the
website, www.bookpool.com, current state.  The webpage that is
currently showing up at www.bookpool.com does state "coming soon" so
hopefully, the closure is temporary.

Bookpool.com started out on Martha's Vinyard.  Last year they moved

I wonder if that move over taxed their financial resources?

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing

I'm unable to install the libX11 update. Can anyone suggest what I might 
be missing?


I first tried:
su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update libX11'

This did seem to be checking updates-testing, although I got the "no 
packages" msg. When I tried it again, yum didn't bother checking 
updates-testing (though it did check updates). I then tried doing both


yum clean all
and
yum clean all --enablerepo='*'

... followed by the update cmd. The 2nd time, yum checked testing again, 
but still says no packages.


I also saw somewhere that this worked for someone:

su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install 
libX11-1.1.5-2.fc10.i386.rpm libX11-devel-1.1.5-2.fc10.i386.rpm 
--nogpgcheck'


But that just said that the packages don't exist. (Does that format even 
make sense?)


So, what am I missing here?

You have two options:

1) Save the image on another computer, in your LAN, running a
partimage-server.

2) Mount a different partition (e.g., /dev/sda5) on the same computer and
save the image there. systemrescuecd has an empty directory you can use as a
mount point for this purpose.

Install the 'yum-utils' package. It includes the 'package-cleanup'

error: %preun(lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 2

So, how can I remove lam-libs?



This was a bug in that release of the lam-libs package, which was
fixed in the newest lam-libs.  I would do this (as root):

rpm -q --scripts lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9 > /tmp/lam-libs-scripts
rpm -e --noscripts lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9

Then look at the /tmp/lam-libs-scripts, in particular %preun and
%postun, and see if there's anything you need to handle manually.
  

Interesting...  this is what I have done:

# rpm -q --scripts lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9 > /tmp/lam-libs-scripts
# rpm -e --noscripts lam-libs-7.1.2-11.fc9
# more /tmp/lam-libs-scripts
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
alternatives --install /etc/ld.so.conf.d/mpi32.conf \
   mpilibs32 /usr/lib/lam/lam.ld.conf 5
/sbin/ldconfig
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
alternatives --remove mpilibs32 /usr/lib/lam/lam.ld.conf
postuninstall program: /sbin/ldconfig

I have no idea what the tmp file is telling me!  Do you
notice anything of significance?

Thanks!

Steven,

Thanks for the info.  I have an extra box that I was going to dedicate
to graphics and wanted to learn Gimp.  Learning Gimp without a book is
not an easy task, so I broke down and went to buy a book.  Alas, poor
bookpool, I knew it well.  Or so I thought I did.


So, what book do you folks out there recommend for Gimp for beginners
and where do you shop these days?

thanks,
Michael

I am now wondering if this is due to the broken libX11 package 
libX11-1.1.5-1.fc10.i386 - a number of issues have followed that - and a new

version (-2) is pushed to testing a few hours backmaybe that will fix
things?
  
It does look like version 1.1.5-1 of libX11 is the problem with Emacs 
and other X window programs hanging when they startup.  Downgrading to 
version 1.1.4-5 fixed the problem.  I would have used the previous 
version 1.1.4-6 but found the rpm's for version 1.1.4-5 of libX11 and 
libX11-devel first.


One problem occurred during the downgrade, my laptop would no longer 
boot up.  It would display "GRUB" and hang.  It appears that the MBR 
became corrupted.  This was fixed by reinstalling the Grub stage1 
binary from my existing /boot/grub partition/directory. 

Directions for reinstalling the Grub stage1 binary to the MBR can be 
found in the Booting from Second Disk 
 thread in the 
Fedora Forums.  In order for follow the directions for reinstalling 
the stage1 binary to the MBR, I booted my system using a Fedora 10 
Live CD and mounted my /boot partition before running grub manually to 
perform the reinstall.  In my case, "mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3" made 
my /boot partition and /boot/grub/stage1 file available.

The corruption of my MBR which caused me to have to reinstall the 
grub/stage1 binary was probably not a direct result of my downgrading 
the libX11 package.   I suspect that I shot myself in the foot when I 
tried to downgrade just the libX11 and forgot to downgrade libX11-devel 
at the same time resulting in conflicts.  My system hung during "rpm -U" 
command and I Control-C'ed out of this initial attempt to downgrade.  I 
suspect this is when my MBR became unstable.

Install the 'yum-utils' package. It includes the 'package-cleanup'

owner and it is unclear whether the closure is permanent or temporary.  
The owner did not know whether Bookpool.com would stays closed, reopens 
or opens in a new form and how long it would take to make that decision.


The number of shelves still containing books was about half of what they 
were a year ago.  I am surprised that they had to shut their "doors" so 
soon.  I am assuming that they are closed based on the website, 
www.bookpool.com, current state.  The webpage that is currently showing 
up at www.bookpool.com does state "coming soon" so hopefully, the 
closure is temporary.

You certainly should first update to the latest, xine-lib-1.1.16.2 (and

If/when I need to do something like this, I download the src.rpm, instead,
and use rpmbuild to build it for the version I'm running.

This usually suffices until I am ready to perform a full upgrade.

F8 has been EOL'd and you'll have to upgrade eventually anyway.  As to
using RPMs from newer releases, odds are that they'll probably have
dependencies requiring later RPMs than you have installed, so you'll
need to upgrade those as well.  Carry this on enough times and 
eventually you'll be upgraded to F10, but via a long, slow and painful

process.  You might just want to get it all over with at once.

The problem is caused by a recent libX11-update, and I can confirm that
it is fixed by updating to the package mentioned in comment #35 in this

How to add to grub?

2009-03-26 Thread Bob Goodwin



I installed F-10 on this computer but in creating grub the installer 
ignored the existing F-8 on drive /dev/sda.  I thought it would present 
me with a grub screen for selection of the other system but it didn't 
happen.  I don't actually need or want F8 but if I can make it work, 
since it is already there, then I should be able to replace it with F0 
or even Centos.  I have a genealogy program [Ftree] that seg faults with 
F-10 on both computers.


I began making a modified grub but when I got down to the last section I 
find that the F8 drive contains no /boot/vmlinuz - .  It does 
however contain kernel rpm files in the yum cache. 


Can someone tell me how to procede?  Suggestions, forget it maybe?

Are they definitely gone - not just invisible?  After an update earlier this 
week I now have the AC/battery icon and NetworkManager icon, but the power 
manager, kgpg, volume and the clipboard are invisible.  I know they are there, 
because hovering brings up the tooltip, and I can access the context menus 
(which is not easy when you can't see the icon :-) )

You certainly should first update to the latest, xine-lib-1.1.16.2 (and
xine-lib-extras-freeworld-1.1.16.2 available from rpmfusion).

Worst case, temporarily remove/uninstall xine-lib-extras-freeworld, if you

The "Incomplete multi-sector transfer" disk read error message means 
corrupted disk sectors (NTFS specific media CRC). The most common 
reason is hardware fault. Either permanent or temporary. 

CHKDSK /F/R DRIVE: should find, mark, replace bad disk sectors if 
it's permanent.

Due to some technical reason (online recovery, repair), NTFS-3G 
ignores this disk read error and trust uppers layers to online
fix or report the error. Unfortunately this happens in a very 
misleading way, as a filename corruption which can be misunderstood
as a filename characterset encoding problem.

I scheduled the misleading error message to be fixed in the next 
NTFS-3G driver. The correct error message should 

"ls: reading directory /MyBook/paleo_enso/solar_forcing: Input/Output
error". Details are at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#ioerror

No. Your problem is unique and related to a hardware problem. 

Hardware problems are extremely common (and it will be even more 
so with bigger rotating and SSD drives) but they manifest in an
extremely diverse way. Thankfully NTFS has many consistency checks
and data redundancy hereby online recovery is often possible.

Not the file but the filename in the directory index is corrupt.
CHKDSK /F /R DEVICE: should help.

Try running under KDE instead of Gnome.  This should provide a workaround

Yes. Every release has a different key.
  


  

Interesting, though, I got that key off the web site for the alpha, and
it's in my personal keyring, some time when I want to spend a lot of
time on something I probably won't use I'll figure out where that key
needs to be, since I don't have a usable FC11 machine (both installed
the alpha but when I do the upgrade they hang solid).



  

Not critical, the newer kernel seems to use my display no better than
the old.




The key does not go in your personal keyring. It goes in rpm's keyring.

rpm --import 

  
why not just download 2.26.29-3.fc10 from koji? i'm pretty sure it has

Not on my box. I had the same problem (until downgrading), but I don't 
run vmware.

Could you post your /etc/fstab and the output of "fdisk -l /dev/sdb"?

Are you attempting to mount a partition on the SCSI drive?

There's no problem with the DVD drive.  If I boot off of the prior kernel 
all is OK.

Actually it seems to be signed with a key I don't see, the message is:

I assume it's a key only in the FC11 release, which isn't in older
systems. A problem for another day, I'm content now that I understand
why it fails.



Yes. Every release has a different key.



Interesting, though, I got that key off the web site for the alpha, and
it's in my personal keyring, some time when I want to spend a lot of
time on something I probably won't use I'll figure out where that key
needs to be, since I don't have a usable FC11 machine (both installed
the alpha but when I do the upgrade they hang solid).



Not critical, the newer kernel seems to use my display no better than
the old.



The key does not go in your personal keyring. It goes in rpm's keyring.

rpm --import 



That gets me back to the original problem I mentioned in
  news://news.gmane.org:119/gqdcg6$7s...@ger.gmane.org

Interesting that I was getting this message before I got the "unknown key" 
message which I "fixed" wit the rpm import. In any case, the problem returned to 
what I initially reported, but it still doesn't work.


I'll wait for the FC11 beta next month.

Something (not critical) has happened in the middle of the operation.
Since you backup a working system, this can easily happen.

You have to review all the output of the command if you want to know
what was wrong. Save the output to a log, as someone else advised you,
and then find it out.

And where i can get NetworkManager-0.7.0.99-1.fc10? This runs fine for
me. The updates breaks my working system. It whould be very nice to have
a rpm archiv, if updates breaks things!

Any mirror with the old NetworkManager packages on the net?

Thanks for help.

Same here. Comment out mirrorlist=  and comment in baseurl= in repo
files helps for me.
