We get a SERVFAIL. Are you using NetworkManager? (A really bad idea for a server.) And has an interface gone off-line and back on again? There's a common problem with an awful lot of services that if their network interface goes down, then up again, or just isn't up before they first start up, that they don't use that interface. The workaround is to restart such services whenever NetworkManager changes state with a script in the /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ directory. The issue of services breaking after network connections going up and down isn't exclusive to NetworkManager, but it seems to make the situation worse.

It is still reading/writing the same file on the disk. I am not sure how to explain this. You are accessing the file just like you would access a hard drive. You are doing the equivalent of accessing the track and sector of a hard drive. (Note: hard drives are accessed as files under Linux/UNIX.) So if you read one block from the file, modify it, and write it back to the same place, it is also on the same place on the hard drive as the old block was.

please recommend PCIe2.0x16 graphics card for fedora 10
I've upgraded my motherboard to an Asus P6T with i7 processor, which seems to run OK until I reboot after software updates, then I have to reset the CMOS each time. I suspect the bios conflicts with an old PCI graphics card (3D labs oxygen) which shows up during POST before the screen goes blank. If someone knows a better explanation please tell me, but the card doesn't seem to be displaying / recognised fully either. I don't need high end graphics and I don't want SLI because a bios upgrade may be required, but I am considering getting a budget PCIe2.0x16 graphics card and I would be grateful for any recommendations for or against a particular card or chipset so I don't buy into more problems. -- 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

No. mkswap just marks up the control areas of th file for use, like mkfs marks up the control areas of a filesystem partition for use. Neither writes the _whole_ file, just a small section of it. So you're only writing the file once (with dd), and marking up a small area of it for use (with mkswap). > It occurs to me that one could, instead, do > $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/new/file bs=1M seek=511 count=1 > $ mkswap /path/to/new/file > > and have the same results, requiring only writing the file > once. No. It only looks the same from the outside. What you have done here is make a _sparse_ file. A UNIX file only allocates data blocks for areas that have been written to. By writing a single chunk of data at the end, you have not allocated all the data blocks. A swap area _must_ have all the blocks allocated. Indeed, "man mkswap" even says this: To setup a swap file, it is necessary to create that file before initializing it with mkswap , e.g. using a command like # dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=65536 Note that a swap file must not contain any holes (so, using cp(1) to create the file is not acceptable). A sparse file is a file with holes. > My guess is that when the swap file with a "hole" first gets used, there > will be a long(ish?) pause while some part or parts of the sparse file > get filled in.

Leaving aside the possibilty that the swap system will simply refuse to work on a file with holes, which it may, you also get much more contiguous file if you preallocate. Data blocks allocated later must come from where the free space is at that time. Might be anywhere.

Web of Trust (a revolution)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Friends, Inspired by the recent problems with checksums for various installation files of Fedora 10, may I be allowed to say, that I think that broader adoption of OpenPGP standard (gpg) among Fedora (and Free Software) developers and users could be a desirable and advertising-worth goal. It could be a Strategy. Let me explain. (1) Web of trust (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_trust) is in the spirit of Free Software, especially of that developed in the "bazaar" model (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cathedral_and_the_Bazaar). By making the concept of web of trust familiar to people I believe we also make the concept of Free Software more familiar to them. (2) Web of trust is also much more human than X.509. Since it is more human to trust someone because he is trusted by your friend, than to trust someone because a BigCompany issued a certificate for him. It is also easier to use, more flexible and much more fun! (3) That would increase safety. Friends I think we should act now, I think we should propagate Web of Trust to people before all those BigCompanies sell them X.509s! Let's take the pole position this time! With patents we have failed in a number countries, but this battle we can win! I think that these days we should advertise GnuPG (http://www.gnupg.org/) and Web of Trust concept not less than the sole concept of Free Software. (By the way GnuPG is both free software and GNU.) I think we should act NOW!! *** You might want to talk to 5 of your friends who are not using OpenPGP yet.

Reporting a nice success with integrated webcam in F10
A couple of years ago when I got a Dell SP2008WFP monitor (which has an integrated webcam) it used to crash F8 as soon as the webcam was plugged in. I never bothered with it again until today when I thought I would plug it in to my F10 system and see what happened since there has been a lot of video driver development since the F8 days. The webcam shows up in lsusb as: Bus 002 Device 008: ID 05a9:2641 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. Plugging it in gives a nice set of lines in /var/log/messages: Mar 27 21:07:50 home1 kernel: uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Monitor Integrated Webcam (05a9:2641) Mar 27 21:07:50 home1 kernel: uvcvideo: UVC non compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE) not supported.

Anyway all seemed OK so I fired up the Cheese Webcam Booth under Applications->Sound and Video, and found the image worked really nicely - it starts quite dark and then auto adjusts to give a good image. So I fired up Skype - and to my pleasant surprise it worked just great - and the integrated microphone is also accessible via the same usb socket - and gives a really good quality audio in Skype - so I am really impressed that it just works "out of the box" now in F10. It might be worth trying a few other webcams that previously in earlier versions of Fedora needed drivers building and installing - maybe others could report similar successes with specific models of webcams in F10? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Reporting-a-nice-success-with-integrated-webcam-in-F10-tp22748808p22748808.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.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

I am running Fedora 10, with virt-manager v 0.6.0-5, and NetworkManager 0.7.0.99-4. I am using kvm 74-10 as my hypervisor, with hardware virtualization enabled.

Efficient Create Swap File?
I've seen various recommendations for adding swap files after
system creation, and it occurs to me that the "standard" technique
may not be the most efficient. I realize that one rarely creates
swap files, but nonetheless on occasion one needs to "precreate"
some file or other, then do something to it, like mkfs etc.
Anyway, mostly trying to improve my general knowledge of
how best to use the abilities of the system, and my understanding
of the relative merits of doing things one way vs. another,
not trying to speed up rarely performed procedures.
The standard technique is to do something like
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/new/file bs=1024 count=524288
$ mkswap /path/to/new/file
to create a 512MB file. The second command may be different,
depending upon the circumstances, but the technique remains
the same. In effect, the new file gets written twice.
It occurs to me that one could, instead, do
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/new/file bs=1M seek=511 count=1
$ mkswap /path/to/new/file
and have the same results, requiring only writing the file
once.
$ time dd if=/dev/zero of=file1 bs=1024 count=524288
524288+0 records in
524288+0 records out
real0m17.898s

$ time /sbin/mkswap file1

$ diff -s file1 file2
Files file1 and file2 are identical
My guess is that when the swap file with a "hole" first gets used, there
will be a long(ish?) pause while some part or parts of the sparse file
get filled in. This is not so good for a swap file, but when one
is actually going to rewrite most of the file anyway, and is only
using the file itself as more or less an indicator of the size, then
it might make sense.

I see you already have the answer... You may find that parted works better for this then fdisk. As a bonus, you can format the new partition using the same program. I remember reading in a man page somewhere that parted is preferred for large drives. (But it didn't define large drives...)

the only reason to fedora doesn't have LTS is the man power.
There used to be a Fedora Legacy which had similar goals, and
which failed partially because of lack of people willing to
donate time, and partially because the churn of Fedora was
reduced.
Respins already exist, CentOS and Scientific Linux spring
to mind.

odd bind problem
I've got a newly installed F10 box that is running BIND as a slave. I've been seeing something really odd, though. About every 6 or 7 days DNS recursion fails. There are no real error messages, but suddenly I can query any record we are SOA for (we host a couple dozen zones for customers) but we can't query, say www.google.com from that server. We get a SERVFAIL. At first I thought it was due to a package update, but this has happened 3 times in 3 weeks and is unacceptable for a slave server. Any idea where to begin debugging this problem?

pymol issues with fedora 10 testing
Is anyone else seeing these issues with Fedora 10 testing? I am seeing two problems. The first only occurs on x86_64 where when pymol is started for the first time upon each login (using the radeon drivers for X11), only the Pymol viewer window appears. The Pymol Tk window on the top never appears. I have to manually kill the pymol with ctrl-c and restart it. At this point restarting pymol always works correctly for the second and successive attempts. I am thinking that this has to be related to the recent update of tk-8.5.3-5.fc10. I don't get any errors in the terminal window which starts pymol or the messages log. The second problem I am seeing is with the fglrx 9.2 drivers packaged by rpmfusion. I find that these video drivers on both i386 and x86_64 cause the Pymol demos to be rendered in a slow jerky fashion with the entire Pymol viewer window flashing. This didn't occur with the previous fglrx 9.1 drivers. Jack ps Getting X11 to be stable for 3D usage these days has really become a nasty game of Russian roulette. -- 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

Using "w" from fdisk "writes table to disk and exits" At the CLI do "partprobe" after changing the partition layout in a disk. "partprobe is a program that informs the operating system kernel of partition table changes, by requesting that the operating system re-read the partition table" so "w" does something to the disk, partprobe tells the OS what was done on the disk. ~af -- 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

You create as many files as your free space requires, until the disk is almost full. Then you delete them all. The disk blocks will keep their values (zeros) and most of your free space will now be clean. Slow if you have a lot of free space, but the trick works with any kind of filesystem (if it is not compressing or encrypting, that is).

Any thoughts? I can't answer your question, but isn't this a rather unusual way to suspend (to disk or RAM?)? I am running Fedora-10/KDE on a Thinkpad T43, and suspend to RAM works exceptionally well. The machine suspends automatically if the lid is closed and the power is disconnected. So I never need to take any action to suspend, but if I did I would just click on f=>Leave=>Suspend to RAM I notice that lsmod shows thinkpad-acpi on my T43. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- 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

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I tend to use the "seahorse" package to manage GPG keys, gnome-keyring, etc. To install: su -c 'yum install seahorse' Then run it from the menu, using Applications > Accessories > Passwords and Encryption Keys.

Re: Backing up system
Hope this isn't to Off-Topic... but related info. Been watching this thread, and want to mention the methods that I have used. G4L and G4U can both do disk and partition images. I must point out that I am the current maintainer of the Free G4L. I develop the system on my Fedora machines, but it uses the kernel.org kernels. The program can be booted from the cd, or it can be added to a system by adding options to the grub menu, or even from windows using grub4dos. It is basically using the dd command to copy the sectors, and uses lzop, gzip, bzip2 or no compression on the image. It can backup to an ftp server, or to another disk or partition, or make a clone of a disk. It is not a file level backup, up disk or partition. I use it in my computer lab to backup the 80GB disk with 98, XP, and Fedora 10 in about 50 minutes making a 12GB image file on a 250GB disk on my AMD64 Fedora machine. It does work best if you clear unused space before doing an image to reduce space since the null filled sectors compress to almost nothing. The program is available on sourceforge and freshmeat. +--+ Michael D.
