Hi all,

Was wondering if any of you know about a tool to measure the number of
watts drained by a machine. Trying to make my machine as power-efficient
as can be.

Besides all the hardware recommendations to measure power consumption of the 
system as a whole, you might also be interested in trying out powertop[1] to see 
(and possibly tune) where actually the power is being utilized (for instance, 
during an idle state).

I only get a small amount of information running that command line on

work out what mine is doing.  Perhaps you should post the output from
your command line, for another pair of eyes to look at.

Minimal, perhaps, but not near zero.  Ye canna change the laws of
physics...  

Everything's inefficient, just to different degrees.  You'd hope a power
supply isn't so wasteful that it uses lots of power when not really
under a heavy load, but some are.  And then the efficient ones may not
use a whole lot more power while under moderate load than while under
light load.  Not to forget, plug a computer into a power supply, even
one that's sitting idle, it's still using power.

To make an efficient computer, you'd have to remove all the devices that
you won't need (burners, drivers, cards, etc.), and use a motherboard
that doesn't have them all, itself.  Some devices have low-power/standby
modes, but they're still using some power, even then.

Perhaps it's overloaded?  I just tried it, and it took ages responding.
The other site, responded near instantly.

Do you have your own webspace, somewhere external from your LAN?  Does
it run Apache, or some other webserver where you can run commands, and
have the instructions for doing so?  You could run your own script to do
the same thing (tell you your IP address).  (See the end of this message
for examples.)

As to why there's different answers, there's any number of reasons.
Proxies and NAT devices between you and them, being the first things
that springs to mind.  But, in general, there's two addresses (fairly)
easily discovered from the remote end - the address of the computer that
you're browser runs on (may be a LAN address), and your external IP
address.

Things can get confusing if the thing querying names resolves IP
addresses.  It may find the IP, resolve the name, then find the IP for
the name.  There may be more than one IP associated...

An example script for Apache,
a one-line page saved as address.shtml:


When requested via any HTTP agent (browser, wget, etc):
wget http://example.com/address.shtml

Returns just the remote IP address, on a single line, and nothing else,
as the page.

NB:  You must be allows to run SSI (server side includes) on your
webserver.  You must write your page in a manner that the server expects
(typically, using the .shtml suffix).

The Apache manual doesn't list all of the variables that can be
returned, it only lists the extra ones it adds to the CGI environment
variables from ye olde NCSA web server.  The NCSA ones can be seen here:

probably the best thing in this circumstance is to download the install

You have to tunnel ssh over https to get through your proxy.  Your
proxy may also require that your ssh+https destination be listening on
port 443, meaning you'll have to have your target system run sshd and
listen on port 443 (in addition to listening on port 22).

Do look at /proc/cmdline and map what 
you see in the grub file associated with a kernel
boot line.

There are way too many layers in a boot loader.
In most cases linux boots via a chain loader with
each layer having its own options and flags.

`stage1'
`stage2'
`e2fs_stage1_5'
`fat_stage1_5'
`ffs_stage1_5'
`jfs_stage1_5'
`minix_stage1_5'
`reiserfs_stage1_5'
`vstafs_stage1_5'
`xfs_stage1_5'
`stage2_eltorito'
`nbgrub'
`pxegrub'

This bit is important... from the "info grub" pages.
It (grub) also has a user interface and a "command line".
These commands can only be used in the menu:

* Menu:
* default:: Set the default entry
* fallback::Set the fallback entry
* hiddenmenu::  Hide the menu interface
* timeout:: Set the timeout
* title::   Start a menu entry

etc...
Not limited to the menu:
* bootp::   Initialize a network device via BOOTP
* color::   Color the menu interface
* device::  Specify a file as a drive
* dhcp::Initialize a network device via DHCP
* hide::Hide a partition
* ifconfig::Configure a network device manually
* pager::   Change the state of the internal pager
* partnew:: Make a primary partition
* parttype::Change the type of a partition
* password::Set a password for the menu interface
* rarp::Initialize a network device via RARP
* serial::  Set up a serial device
* setkey::  Configure the key map
* splashimage:: Use a splash image
* terminal::Choose a terminal
* terminfo::Define escape sequences for a terminal
* tftpserver::  Specify a TFTP server
* unhide::  Unhide a partition

..

Some flags apply to individual commands... see "terminal" 
-- Command: terminal [`--dumb'] [`--no-echo'] [`--no-edit']
  [`--timeout=secs'] [`--lines=lines'] [`--silent'] [`console']
  [`serial'] [`hercules']

And most importantly most of the "interesting" stuff is not done by grub
at all.  For example once the kernel is loaded it is passed a set of
flags and each kernel has a list slightly different from the last kernel.

Well, this is also a very informative read. Thanks! :-)

However, it seems that the open-source solution for virtualization on a 
processor without the vmx flag does not exist. Ok, you can use qemu, but it is 
on the bottom of the performance pile, as you adequately put it. Proprietary 
solutions offer much better performance on such hardware.

This situation seems to be the same as the situation with graphics card 
drivers --- if you are not lucky to have compatible/supported hardware, you 
can either opt for proprietary solution (and hope for the best), or live with 
a severe performance penalty, much worse than just hardware limitations. This 
is sad.


And guess what I just found out? My office desktop, purchased three months ago, 
has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, the E7400 variant, which also does not have 
vmx flag. The things runs on 2.8 GHz, has 4GB of ram, and qemu literally crawls 
on it. I mean, my laptop (with a T5250 core 2 duo, 1.5 GHz, 2 GB ram) is kind 
of oldish, I admit, but this desktop is a

Ok, this bugzilla entry was an informative read. So I guess it is time to drop 
qemu and try out virtualbox. Hopefully it has better support for my hardware. 
As for compiling qemu, I guess it is doable, but in my case not worth the 
effort.

As I said, you need to build QEMU with kqemu support.

Support for kqemu was removed from QEMU when KVM support was added, and 
kqemu itself will be removed soon.  You should use some other product, 
either VirtualBox or VMWare.

Rebuild QEMU with the patches in 
, using a version 
of QEMU that still has kqemu in it (version < .12, I think).

dvd tracks and wot-not.

Now I want to automate it, but things like "amixer scontents"
produces such an immense amount of gibberish, I can't figure
out what actually changed (and someone, somewhere is translating
the gibberish control names to completely different labels in
the alsamixer screens :-).

Is there an amixer option I'm not seeing that says "output
the amixer commands required to reproduce this state"?

I'd like to just add one simple amixer command to my

Insufficient data presented. I would recommend that you run the
manufacturer's disk diagnostic. (Should be on the CD that came with
the drive.  If not, get it from the manufacturer's web site.) The
diagnostic will give you results that are independent of the driver in
the kernel. If no problems are found post a bug report against the
kernel.

Backend?  As in FTP server?  Yes, proftpd is an FTP server.  If you
want an FTP client, there's a bunch out there.  Have a look here:

http://linuxreviews.org/software/ftp-clients/

Googling "linux +ftp +clients" will reveal a number of them as well.
I run Gnome, but prefer (and use) Kasablanca, myself.  I might give 
ftpcube a shot sometime.

[Jeffrey Ross]

Looking to upgrade from Banshee 1.4.3-3 to 1.5.1 does anybody know if any
of the repositories have the newer version for FC11 x86_64 and if so,
which one(s).

Here's your problem. Change "nvidia" to "nouveau" and restart X.

As far as your segfault... I would file a bug in rpmfusion.

Did you rule out using the preupgrade?  (sudo 'yum install 
preupgrade', and then 'preupgrade')  It's really simple, and worked 
great for me on 3 separate systems. It downloads packages and then 
runs anaconda after reboot. 


Did not see anything about preupgrade on the wiki, I was jsut following 
orders  :)


So I tried the install of preupgrade and found it already on the 
system.  So now it is running

Re: Linux problems with Flash in Firefox

[Hugh Caley]

As I said, Roger, not everyone has this problem.  I have had this same 
problem on this particular hardware combination from at least FC7 
onwards.  I'm guessing it may be a problem with interaction with the 
proprietary nvidia driver and Firefox?  I have a 6200 nvidia card.  I 
also had the same issue with FC11 on an IBM/Lenovo laptop I had; I think 
that machine had integrated Intel video.  My brother in law has a box 
running FC10 with an ATi 7500 and he DOESN'T have this problem at all.

This Firefox / Flash problem has me curious.
I've never had a problem with flash in firefox, except for being not
easy to install.
But that's a security issue I believe.
But once up and running I have never had difficulties you write about.
I've had to install the combination probably 30 times over the past few
years on several computers.
I have used F3 right through to F12 on fairly standard clones.

I've ordered two new cables a standard eSATA ( although the cable I'm using
is new and came with the enclosure ), and a SATA to eSATA so I can try
one of the internal sata ports, on a different controller.

I'll let you know.

This says that your controller and external drive can not reliably
communicate at 3Gbps.

Things to do to troubleshoot problem:

1. Make sure that your computer and external drive have proper
electrical ground. Suggest both be plugged into same electrical outlet
or power strip.  Use a tester (it's a three prong device with three
indicator lights) to verify that the AC is wired correctly.
2. Check your cable. Is it the proper length, in good condition,
making good connection, etc.?
3. Exchange or replace the cable.
4. Test your drive on a different computer.

I'm not really sure that I would have any faith in an extension with an
anonymous author. Especially since it was last updated March 7, 2008.

That looks, to me, like this extension has died.

Did you rule out using the preupgrade?  (sudo 'yum install preupgrade', and
then 'preupgrade')  It's really simple, and worked great for me on 3
separate systems. It downloads packages and then runs anaconda after reboot.

This is a test system, nothing of value on it if the upgrade does not 
go, but I still want to get this working.


For switching the repositories:

ReleaseNumber is 11?
and

This says that your controller and external drive can not reliably
communicate at 3Gbps.

Things to do to troubleshoot problem:

1. Make sure that your computer and external drive have proper
electrical ground. Suggest both be plugged into same electrical outlet
or power strip.  Use a tester (it's a three prong device with three
indicator lights) to verify that the AC is wired correctly.
2. Check your cable. Is it the proper length, in good condition,
making good connection, etc.?
3. Exchange or replace the cable.
4. Test your drive on a different computer.

When building kernel modules for an existing kernel, you MUST modify the
Makefile source code from the kernel source RPM to match the version of
the running kernel.  By default, the kernel source does NOT have the
running kernel's version, even if it is the source for that kernel.

Example, I'm running 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.x86_64.  I've installed the
kernel-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.src.rpm RPM, then to prep for kernel building:

rpm -bp --target=x86_64 ~rpmbuild/SPEC/kernel.spec

If you look at the Makefile in
~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.30/linux-2.6.30.x86_64

you'll find:

VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 30
EXTRAVERSION = .8

If I were to build as it stands, the modules would be versioned to
2.6.30.8 and wouldn't load (or be installed in the correct /lib/modules
directory if I did a "make modules-install").  The Makefile must be
modified to:

EXTRAVERSION = .8-64

to match the running kernel before anything is built (including
"make menuconfig", "make xconfig" or "make oldconfig").

I've seen this error come up many times on my servers and I've seen 
other people asking about it on this list -- but there are never any

I think it's time to ask on kernel list, maybe they can tell us something.

straight dope on SSL certs?

[brian]

My self-signed SSL certificates (for Postfix & Cyrus-IMAP) have just 
expired and so I'm faced with once again trying to decipher (heh) the 
multitude of instructions for setting this up. I still have my notes 
from a year ago but, though everything's been working fine (AFAIK), I'm 
not convinced that what I'm doing is correct. I've read many tutorials 
online but each one seems to confuse the issue further.


For one thing, before I'd even started, I'd found some cert files 
already existed. I believe they were set up by the Apache rpm. In any 
case, I just ignored them, as I'm not currently using SSL through 
Apache. I probably will want to use it in the future, however I don't at 
all understand how/why these already exist, as they couldn't possibly 
contain the correct information (commonName, organizationName, etc).


So, anyway ... I'd like to create new certs and, at the same time, clear 
out some of the deadwood under the /etc/pki tree and attempt to get all 
of this into proper order.


This is my current setup:

/etc/postfix/main.cnf:
smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/pki/tls/certs/cacert.pem
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/pki/postfix/newcert.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/pki/postfix/newkey.pem

/etc/imapd.conf:
tls_ca_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/cacert.pem
tls_cert_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/newcert.pem
tls_key_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/newkey.pem

I have no idea what I was thinking when putting these in separate 
directories. I assume that's a redundancy I can do without.


/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key
#SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/server-chain.crt
#SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

Here, localhost.crt and localhost.key were created by something other 
than myself. I have no idea what they're good for, if not self-signed. 
However, I'm guessing that I could probably create a cert/key.pem pair 
and use them for Postfix, Cyrus, and Apache. Note, though, that the 
httpd versions are not PEMs, so that's another source of confusion.


This is from my notes for Postfix/Cyrus:

-- snip --
# cd /etc/pki/tls/misc
./CA_noDES -newca
[creates key file in /etc/pki/CA/private/cakey.pem]

./CA_noDES -newreq
[creates newkey.pem & newreq.pem]

./CA_noDES -sign
[creates /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem]

ADD THE PRIVATE KEY
# cat /etc/pki/CA/private/cakey.pem

copy this into:
# vi /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem

# cp /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem /etc/pki/tls/certs/
-- snip --


Could/should I simply use the above instructions to create:

/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt.pem
/etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key.pem

... and use these for all 3 apps?

Also, I'm not really clear (surprise, surprise) on the purpose of the 
last line. Why should I copy cacert.pem from one directory to another? I 
understand that the CA dir is readbale only by root. However, by copying 
the file elsewhere, that security seems superfluous.

Re: Qemu vs VMWare

[Phil Meyer]

On 10/25/2009 03:05 PM, Marko Vojinovic wrote:

Hi everyone! :-)

I wish to share my first hands-on experience with qemu, compare it to vmware
player, and (since I'm highly disappointed with the performance difference) ask
is there anything that can be done configuration-wise to improve the user
experience under qemu.

Basically, my motivation to try out qemu in the first place is the not-so-great
support from vmware when it comes to kernel modules, updating Fedora etc. The
idea is to make all these issues go away by going with the open source
solution for virtualization. Naively, I expected more or less equivalent
performance and/or set of features. But qemu turned out to be a very big
disappointment:

(1) Windows XP guest under qemu appears to be an order-of-magnitude slower
than equivalent vmware guest. I haven't measured precisely, but by counting
the seconds for the same operation (open a window or such), qemu appears to be
roughly 10 times slower! Why is it *that* bad?
   


There are several methods for accelerating a Virtual Machine.  One of 
those methods uses the relatively new CPU based 'switch' that allows the 
CPU itself to govern, or separate, certain things.


However, that is not the only way.  Virtual Machines have a long and 
storied history, and much of what we see today originated on systems 
like the Cray super computer.  The problem is that we now want 
Virtualization to be a commodity, it needs to be cheap, and it needs to 
run on hardware that is not designed for it.


VmWare uses a proprietary kernel module to do the hardware emulation.

VirtualBox from SUN uses a proprietary kernel module to do the hardware 
emulation.  Although SUN has a 'free' version, SUN's licensing prohibits 
it from being distributed freely.


Xen uses a special version of the Linux kernel to create a Domain 0 that 
is most similar to what used to be done on the Cray and other super 
computers.  There are several good references online to detail the 
differences in Hypervisors, but here I am just hitting a few points.


The deal that Novel did with MicroSoft caused Xen to lose a lot of 
developers, and it almost fell completely off the IT radar.  If not for 
a lot of legacy installations, it is my opinion that Xen would have 
disappeared all together.


There are other types of virtualization that don't need a hypervisor at 
all.  One of these types is called a container type VM.  OpenVZ is 
really a very good implementation of a container type VM.


Now, we have to consider and separate hardware emulation, the 
hypervisor, and the bare iron.


Qemu is a set of tools that can provide various levels of hardware 
emulation.  By itself, it can emulate a complete low end PC.


KVM is a kernel module written by the Linux kernel development team that 
uses the new VM 'switch' on modern intel and AMD CPUs to accellerate 
hardware emulation on real hardware.  To over simplify, you can think of 
KVM as allowing the kernel to 'cut off' a CPU and chunk of memory for a 
VM to use natively.


Qemu can be built to take advantage of the hardware support provided by 
the KVM kernel modules.  That version of Fedora is called: qemu-kvm.


Xen also uses qemu for its hardware emulation, but not the KVM parts.  
That may change as Xen is finding its way back into the mainstream kernel.


Performance wise, its a toss up between these guys based upon several 
factors, especially application.


However, qemu alone with no hardware support is definitely on the bottom 
of the performance pile.


Qemu with KVM support is almost always on the high end of the 
performance pile for general CPU/Memory based applications.


Other things to consider:  Xen and VirtualBox can 'expose' a real PCI 
card to the VM.  KVM is working on this feature actively, but its not 
there yet.


File system type and disk emulation can also vary widely.  Using a file 
as emulated disk in writeback mode vs writethough mode can be order of 
magnitude different in performance depending upon your specific hardware.


So consider your application, and choose wisely.

Recommendations:

Windows for development: KVM
Windows for Graphics: VirtualBox with openGL passthrough to VM.
Windows for general purpose: VmWare for more driver support.

Linux for development: KVM
Linux for production ISP: KVM

Today -- Linux general purpose production systems: Xen
Tomorrow -- Linux General purpose: KVM

RHEL 6 will be all about KVM.

Good Luck!

Sadly, I tried this on my remote machine,
but it did not give the same address as 
"firefox http://whatismyipaddress.com/";
(where I had to wait for a minute or so to get the response).

I'm baffled by this at the moment.
I can ping both addresses, but cannot ssh into either,
which I take to be the concrete test that I have the right address.
(But I suspect that upgrading the remote machine to CentOS-5.4
may have changed things in some way.)
I'm pretty sure that "whatismyaddress.com" 
has given the correct address in the past.

Surprisingly to me, "lynx http://whatismyipaddress.com/";
gets an error message on both local and remote machines.

"traceroute -n google.com", which has also been suggested,
gives a third IP address.

I shall continue with my experimentation ...

That will likely work. But if you are relaying email through someone else's
(say your ISP) email server they may not permit that.

I don't know the features available to kmail, but other mail clients do
allow you to trigger actions based on headers in the email and would be
able to set the from header base on the recipients list. And assuming that
the from header was used to generate the envelope sender address (sometimes
the local user login name gets used along with the hostname), this could
be pretty much fire and forget.

Mailman typically checks the envelope sender address rather than then
a header from the message. Some mail delivery agents will add a From line
(which is different than the From header) on final delivery that includes
the envelope sender address (or the rfc 821 encoding of it). But that line
isn't part of the message until final delivery.

There is a chance that this is the check being used to thwart the original
poster. But it's also possible that the mailman server is firewalled.
If his university has a vpn or if he has machines he can into remotely,
he might be able to work around that limitation.

Thank you, you may well be right.
I shall check that.

I'm wondering if there is some simple way in KMail
of changing the From: address in a one-off way,
I mean so that most email comes from a default address,
but one can give an alternative address if one wishes.
As far as I can see, the From: address is set
as part of the users "Identity".
I suppose one could have a second KMail account
with a different Identity, but that would be cumbersome.

But first I will check if the college mailman
does just look at the From: address, as you suggest.

Re: How to tell IP address of remote machine?

[Rick Sewill]

I don't know if it will be useful, but have you considered using
STUN software to get the IP address?

There is a package, libnice, which contains a program, 
/usr/bin/stunbdc

You need to select a public stun server, perhaps from the list at URL
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/STUN
Please search this webpage for "Public STUN servers"

You might try something like the command:
stunbdc -4 stun.ekiga.net

Please note: I cannot test this suggestion.
 I am no longer behind NAT.

I looked at other stun clients but couldn't figure out how to get
the information easily without examining source code.

I installed more than one package, had to guess the name of the STUN
client, run it, as a non-privileged user--forgive my paranoia--hoping
the program would give me some information on what it was and how
to use it.

I wish there was more, and better documentation, on these STUN packages.

Get systemrescuecd. 

Boot off of it.  Use gparted to expand the partition in question.

I use it all of the time with clonezilla.  to resize a partition to make
it smaller before cloneing, then expanding the partition afterwards so I
same storage and it is easier to migrate with a smaller partition.

Plug your device into it and read watts and amps being pulled.  Let it

Yeah, I'd expect using a clone tool would give you new partitions the
same size as the old ones.  Though there might be options to use it
either way.

You could grow the partition.  I haven't used clonezilla, so I couldn't
advise on how to use it to do that.

Well, if you log out as a user, and log in as root, root's home space
isn't inside /home, so /home doesn't need to be mounted.

How do they check? IIRC Mailman doesn't have very sophisticated
authentication features. Many installations just look at the From line,
which you can change.

Right, but my idea of having a virtual machine in the first place is to avoid 
buying more hardware. And this being a laptop here, I'm afraid I cannot 
upgrade the processor. So far I've been using vmware, since it is more 
convenient than dual boot setup, but whenever a new kernel comes out I get 
into trouble of recompiling modules to match. That is why I am trying to go 
with qemu instead.

Oh, a kernel module? Now you're talkin'! :-) I didn't know about this. If 
there is a kernel module needed, then that accounts for the performance 
difference between vmware and qemu, since vmware has these modules up and 
running, while qemu does not. There is also this question of vmware-tools 
package being installed in its guest, while qemu does not seem to have a 
similar thing.

Ok, so I did a yum search and a yum install kqemu, which pulled in appropriate 
kmod packages and all. Then I started the qemu guest to see what happens. But 
the module did not get loaded (lsmod doesn't report it). I shutdown the guest, 
loaded the module manually via modprobe (which worked), checked that it is 
loaded, started the guest again, and went to see if there is any performance 
difference. But there wasn't.

So I wonder how to use the kqemu module? Or rather, how to explain to qemu 
that there is a module loaded and that it should use it? There is nothing 
obvious in the GUI about this, where do I set it up?

If default Fedora rpm version of qemu is *not* built with kqemu enabled, then 
that is very unfotunate, since I don't want to recompile the whole qemu in 
order to avoid recompiling vmware modules. That would defeat the whole point 
of using it in the first place.

So can you tell me how to get the kqemu module to work?

> I have just switched from QEMU to VirtualBox (with RPMFusion enabled,

Yes, VirtualBox is the next candidate, after I evaluate qemu. I'll try it out, 
eventually.

Well, now... It would be nice to be able to use usb, bluetooth, and such. One 
of my main use cases for a windows guest is to communicate with my cell-phone 
(via usb or bluetooth) using appropriate software (for Samsung phones...). But 
anyway, I'll give VB a try, just to see how it performs on my hardware.

I opened "Virtual Machine Manager" from the menu (F10 64bit, KDE, fully

Of course, virt-manager first complained about some daemon not running, selinux

but those were not big problems to solve, and I handled them. After that the

Not only that it isn't enabled, it rather doesn't exist (see my other post in 
the thread). But that does not explain for such a big performance difference 
between qemu and vmware. They both run without hardware support here.

Same thing here, I think. Only, KVM doesn't seem to do anything when 
virtualization is all-software.

How do I check which backend is being used? I didn't find any info on that in 
the GUI.

Yes, that's what I am using, and yes --- as you say --- it sucks, but I'm 
surprised that vmware works visibly better in same conditions. Same hardware, 
same all-software-virtualization, same type of guest. The only difference is 
that vmware guest has the vmware-tools package installed, which visibly 
improves its performance. I failed to find an equivalent tools package for qemu 
guest.

I did read (ok, skimmed through) qemu docs, but found no information on how to 
improve qemu performance. So what am I doing wrong?

Best, :-)

I will, eventually. That is the plan, after I evaluate qemu.

Yes, and vmware offered to install this set of tools, and I accepted (I've been 
using vmware for some time now, so am familiar with this). But I haven't seen 
any instructions in qemu documentation that some equivalent set of tools is 
available for me to install when I create a qemu vm. Did I miss it?

If these tools for qemu exist, then maybe that could be the answer to all my 
questions. But as I say, I failed to see any mention of such tools in the qemu 
docs. If you could point me to a package to install into a qemu guest, it

Ok, my core 2 duo is T5250 (as listed above in /proc/cpuinfo), and it is *not* 
on the wikipedia list of processors which support VT-x. So it really seems I 
don't have hardware virtualization support. Btw, this is on a laptop, I have 
no way of upgrading hardware.

But hardware virtualization is absent for both qemu and vmware, and it seems 
vmware runs the quest at almost native speed (at least the guest user 
interface feels like it), while qemu feels much much slower. If there is an 
equivalent of vmware-tools for qemu, I'd be happy to know about it.

Best, :-)

Fan control / thermal management on M3A770

[Christoph Höger]

Hi,

I've had to buy a new MoBo (ASRock M3A770) and now I cannot see
temperatures, fan speeds or any other things. 
pwmconfig states that it has no sensors found (but the sensor applet
shows all sensors I know of without any values).

Is there some kind of special kernel module one has to load or is my
board simply not supported (yet) on the 2.6.30-8 kernel?

regards

Christoph

I would suggest you ask the vendor for support presumably they can make
the stuff they shipped work.

You can build modules out of tree and the build system is specifically
designed to handle this. It can even be automated (dkms etc)

Measure power consumption?

[Aioanei Rares]

Hi all,

Was wondering if any of you know about a tool to measure the number of 
watts drained by a machine. Trying to make my machine as power-efficient 
as can be.


Thanks in advance.

unused partition space after clonezilla move?

[Christoph Höger]

Hi,

I have just moved my fedora to a newer, more power saving, larger and
faster disk. 

I made up new Partitions (bigger than the old ones) and used clonezilla
for the move. This worked pretty well except for the partition space: 

I have now e.g. 205GB unused space on my /home partition. How do I get
the fs to cover the whole part?

And afterwards: Is there a way to convert an ext3 into ext4 fs from the
desktop (seems it is hard to unmount /home)

regards

Christoph

Just rebooted the laptop and the problem has gone away again. Another symptom, 
but doesn't help me diagnose the fault.

Also: make sure (and double-check!) the the model you are considering
does not require the HPLIP proprietary binary "plug-in".  In other
words, the "Driver Plug-In" column should say "No".

I have done a clean install of FC11 (was FC10 before) and the same problem 
occurs on one site (the one I'm on now).

I linked in remotely yesterday and all was fine.
I use it from other sites no problem.
I've used it from this site and the problem occurs intermittantly, but today 
it's solid.

An example of a session from today. X seems to behave, but BASH auto-complete 
and screen handling doesn't.

Anyone got any ideas?

Fedora 11, amavisd-new, clamscan and Thunderbird 3.0b4

[Frank Murphy (Frankly3D)]

My clamdrib (TB extension) has stopped working despite changing instsll.rdf

So how can I setup amavisd-new\clamav for use with TB.
Most of the googling bring up refrences to user:clamav.
http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/clamav-redhat-amavis.html

I have users clamscan and clamupdate.

What would\should be changed from above link?

No manual entry for amavisd-new
amavisd --help (can't make out how to use in my setup from this)

Printing has been broken for me for several releases of Maple whichever
version of Fedora I have been using the past couple of years. However with
the replacement of the java jre as per my link it works 100% for me in
Maple13 running in Fedora 11.

I don't know what version of java they embedded in their install disk but I
think that is the main culprit - but yes reporting to Maple devs is
certainly a good idea.  However this also highlights a problem with Iced Tea
- till now I have not had a need to use anything other than the open source
java and it is a shame I now have to install Sun Java to get Maple to work!
