Then when you boot you should specify both the drive and the path to the images directory. Don't remember if you must specify /tim or just tim.

If you remember well, I said I formatted the drive by right clicking on the icon. If you format sdb, an sdb1 partition will be created. If you don't have a partition, the drive can't be used. Whatever gave you that idea? If you drop a filesystem on the whole drive and then mount the whole drive, it works fine (at least with tools which assume what you say is what you want). You can use whole drives as members of raid arrays, someone tests that on the raid mailing list regularly. ;-) The requirement is that you use it where you made it. I remember you saying you have a partition on the drive, so I suspect you will have better luck running "e2fsck -c /dev/sdb1". The man page does say: e2fsck - check a Linux ext2/ext3/ext4 file system A file system is not a device. So, the filesystem -- here sdb1 -- must be specified.

ADSL modem is connected via eth0.8 . Using adsl-setup I have created ppp interface ppp0. Now I want to achieve the following : Computers from local network range 10.123.123.0/24 (eth0.7) should access internet using my second internet provider via ppp0. I believe that for that I need to use advanced networking and iproute package. I will add the second routing table named "adsl" and configure routing via ppp0 there. Together with that i need to set in iptables , nat table to masquerade all ips going out via ppp0. I believe I need to use ip command for this. And the finally my questions are : 1) Is there a good tutorial / howto for using iproute on the internet, except of the LARTC.org Let us know if you find it. 2) Can i utilize by tools of Fedora, to have my configuration (with second routing table, using ip ) somehow stored - to be permanent when I will do machine restart? I mean there are networking-scripts /etc/sysconfing/network-scripts which can handle, IP assigment, virtual LANS, aliases even static routes. Can they handle advanced routing as well? The easiest way to do this is to put all the commands in a shell script you run out of the run levels you want. Not that you can't hack scripts and save iptables, and do wonderful stuff, but a shell script has a nice provision for comments so you can see what you are doing, it does one thing at a time so it's easier to figure out what didn't work, and you can use your favorite version control system to track what you do. I used the MARK action in iptables to allow me to force packets out a given interface. You then need only a very few rules to make routing work. Also, unless you have nothing but machines and people you trust on all these little subnets, have the external ISP connections on NICs not reachable from the private machines without going through your firewall. Having had a 12 years old tell me "Oh I read the man page and changed the netmask" was a revelation. Unless people are totally trusted and really competent, assume they will (maybe by accident) do something you don't want. Also, packets from the ISP in eth0.8 can physically reach the subnets (unless you have VLAN switches or similar). Finally, be sure packets can't come in one NIC and out the other from one ISP to the other. The NIC is looking at MAC address, packets will come in with foreign IPs. I see a few thousand of these a week. Sounds like you are going to have some learning experiences. You want to look at the 'recent' match in iptables, it may be useful in blocking some evil, depending on your policy. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- 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
Preupgrade to F11 worked but...
I ran preupgrade to go from F10 to F11 and I was pleasantly surprised (because F9->F10 was a mess) that it worked almost flawlessly. When I booted into F11 for the first time, I got a warning about a ssl library not being found. To cut a long story short, I have found that there are 62 packages that did not get updated from F10, one of them being httpd. I considered just deleting the offending rpm and reinstalling but there are so many dependencies. Is this a common problem and how have others overcome it.

If you remember well, I said I formatted the drive by right clicking on the icon. If you format sdb, an sdb1 partition will be created. If you don't have a partition, the drive can't be used. > I remember you > saying you have a partition on the drive, so I suspect you will have > better luck running "e2fsck -c /dev/sdb1". The man page does say: e2fsck - check a Linux ext2/ext3/ext4 file system A file system is not a device. So, the filesystem -- here sdb1 -- must be specified. Which, according to .bash_history, I did yesterday (I know from other commands around it). If the drive is mounted or if you're not root, messages explain the problem. Why it didn't work is beyond me. For now, I'll say "case closed".

I take it one step beyond that. During my nightly backups, I have it create the hash for all my tarballs. Pretty simple to do. As an example: if you have backup /home/you, /etc and /root to tarballs: home.you.tar.gz etc.tar.gz root.tar.gz Doing something like md5sum *.gz > checksum.md5 will create and store the hash info in the file, checksum.md5 Then to verify, md5sum -c checksum.md5 If all goes well, you'll see something like: home.you.tar.gz OK etc.tar.gz OK root.tar.gz OK Of course, you probably knew all this anyways. -- Best regards, Chris “It is always better to have no ideas than false ones; to believe nothing, than to believe what is wrong.” -- Thomas Jefferson -- 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

The journal's size is not very large I suppose. And I also suppose that, like all other data, it is shifted from one place to another in other to have an equilibrium, not some sectors being written thousands of times and some other never. OTOH, when I formatted, I wasn't so sure that ext3 was much use on a USB drive.

Monday as first day of week - Gnome Calendar
Hello all, I'm on Fedora 12 and getting used to Gnome after using KDE for many years... Is there a way to change the first day of week from Sunday to Monday on the Calendar applet? I tried searching for it for a while but nothing seems to work for me. I tried changing: first_weekday 1 to first_weekday 2 on the file: /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US (my locale) but that didn't work. I restarted the panel & tried rebooting after that with no sucess. I also tried creating $HOME/.gnomerc with "export LC_TIME=en_GB.utf8" but still don't get it. Any help is appreciated :) Thanks, Jorge -- 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 think there is another problem with having pen drives formatted ext3 or ext4. Pen drives can only tolerate a finite number of writes before they crap out.

In my case I also have a script checking the two providers and switching the connections on the other one when one is not working. You can find documentation around on iproute, I think it was the lartc.org site I used for reference. As the integration with Fedora network scripts I think there is no way to have such a complex configuration in a "clean" system. This is on Fedora 9, but I doubt things are improved in this field in newer version, considering the rampant "NetworkManager-style" approach to networks. In my case I have the ifcfg scripts doing some basic configuration which will not enable significant traffic (for example forwarding=0, no routing, no default gw). Then I have a custom script called by rc.local which does everything: iptables firewalling, iptables MARKing based on --match conntrack, ip route routing based on fwmark. I tried to achieve external visibility on both my public IP addresses for incoming connections, but something is still not working; it looks like there is a problem with the tracking of the incoming connection because it is not established yet. I stopped spending time in fixing this, as my target was to have the fail-over part working. My config is actually more complex than what I've described (vmnet networks, port redirections, traffic shaping, traffic stats,...). If we are lucky, someone really expert on this will reply in this thread.

Now that i know it's a 4GB drive, I wouldn't format it ext3, but since it's already formatted ext3 and I don't plan to use it to exchange data, I'll leave it as it is. But, as I said.

To do this one may do either of the following: 1. Manually mount after each boot: % mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug 2.

Routing with 2 ISP
Hello guys, Sorry to bothering you. I had a small network with one ISP and firewall. eth1 -> Is connected to my ISP eth0 + eth0.1 , eth0.2 and etc are my local networks. All my network accesses internet via eth1.

ADSL modem is connected via eth0.8 . Using adsl-setup I have created ppp interface ppp0. Now I want to achieve the following : Computers from local network range 10.123.123.0/24 (eth0.7) should access internet using my second internet provider via ppp0. I believe that for that I need to use advanced networking and iproute package. I will add the second routing table named "adsl" and configure routing via ppp0 there. Together with that i need to set in iptables , nat table to masquerade all ips going out via ppp0. I believe I need to use ip command for this. And the finally my questions are : 1) Is there a good tutorial / howto for using iproute on the internet, except of the LARTC.org 2) Can i utilize by tools of Fedora, to have my configuration (with second routing table, using ip ) somehow stored - to be permanent when I will do machine restart? I mean there are networking-scripts /etc/sysconfing/network-scripts which can handle, IP assigment, virtual LANS, aliases even static routes. Can they handle advanced routing as well?

Dell 2209WA e-IPS monitor and Fedora
Hello, I am thinking of buying a Dell 2209WA 22'' display and to use it under Fedora. I need this monitor especially for long hours of writing code and reading documents. I do not intend to use it at all for movies/games. This monitor is a bit more expensive than the average; however, it has an e-IPS panel, which is (so I was told) a bit better than the common panels (TN). I would appreciate if anybody who had tried this monitor with Fedora can give any feedback to this post. Especially I am interested in whether he could set the resolution to 1680 x 1050 (which is the maximum resolution for this monitor) and which model of display adapter did he use, and was he satisfied with this monitor. (Especially was the text sharp enough, and would he recommend this display for long hours of text-based usage like programming/reading docs). Rgs, Mark PS (Also I would like to know the output of running : xrandr). -- 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: disk moves from /dev/sdd to /dev/sde
Wolfgang S. Rupprecht wrote:
I'm seeing something strange where a disk appears to change from
/dev/sdd to /dev/sde under f12. I have a motherboard (Asus M3A78T) that
appears to have multiple onboard disk controllers. When I boot with no
external storage plugged into the USB, my hard disks are assigned sda,
sdb, sdc sdd. When I boot with, say, a flash drive, camera or cell
phone attached the external device gets the "sdd" name and my last disk
gets the name sde. Now, that in itself doesn't cause any problems
because I don't have the disk sdX names wired into anything.
What is a problem is that after booting, something unknown (perhaps an
ATA reset?) causes the disk letters to be re-assigned just as if it was
at boot time. If I have some flash-like external storage plugged in my
last disk gets shifted to /dev/sde. At that point programs like
smartmon that are looking at the disk under the old name fail to find it
and generate an error. "smartmon -a /dev/sde" does show the disk under
it's new name, but even the kernel appears to look for the disk under
its old name. I see lots of the following mailed to me by chron:
/etc/cron.hourly/zzzdo-backup:
/dev/dm-0: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error
/dev/dm-0: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error
How do I nail down the disk numbering a bit tighter so that things don't
move around after boot-time?
This is a new one on me,m as I've never seen a device name change except a boot
time. Obviously when a new device comes on line, USB or similar, it will get a
name, but I've never seen the name change on a continuously connected device.
Therefore, it would be worth investigating carefully to see how and when this
happens. Might I suggest running a script every ten minutes or so, so you can
see what changes, and look at /var/log/messages for the time when the change
happened.
Maybe something like this, so you are sure which device is which:
#!/bin/bash
# blkdevtrc 1.1 2009-12-20 12:53:07-05 root Exp
# trace which devices are connected to which names
cd /sys/block || exit 1
# NOTE: works for real devices, not member of fakeraid
# controllers.
# Typical values for this define are "Serial" or "Capacity"
LastLine="Serial"
echo "block device trace for host $(hostname) $(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)"
SepLine=""
for dev in sd*; do
echo "${SepLine}"
echo "Device name /dev/${dev}"
echo -n "Device connection: "
cat ${dev}/dev; echo
smartctl --all /dev/$dev | sed -n "1,/INFORMATION/d;1,/${LastLine}/p"
SepLine="=="
done
I swiped tis from my tool kit, later versions are more complex, but this will
show when a device moves, and where.

Re: Saving Tbird e-mail files? -
o Using gmail - with imap - leaves the mail on gmail server. gmail with pop - removes the mail from gmail and stores wherever you told your mail client to store it - once you've done this - unless you store it on your own imap server then no other client will be able to see that pop mail. o so you should leave gmail accounts all set to imap - unless you want to pull the mail off gmail and store it. o your dovecot server is just like any other mail server - just set up a new IMAP account - use IP or (or hostname if your computers can see the host name). o each mail client you set up should have gmail imap your own imap as accounts. Then to move or copy mail just use mouse to drag or copy message(s) from gmail to your own imap account. -- 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

Clean your CD/DVD disks -- Just a PSA reminder !!!
Hi; An old lesson re-learned for the umpteenth time. Public Service Announcement --- Last week I upgraded the MY machine to F12 with preupgrade etc. No problem. This weekend I set out to install from the Fedora 12 LiveCD on to two other older machines I have here. On the first machine everything worked the way it should. On the second machine nothing would work right. I won't embarrass myself further by listing all of normal and dumb things I tried over eight hours to get the LiveCD working and installing. I took a break and had a nice dinner then came back to machine #2. Just on the off-chance I cleaned the LiveCD disk -- and bingo everything worked. It turns out CD drive on machine #1 was not sensitive to gunk or smudges on the CD. Machine #2's CD drive was. No need for a reply. I just thought I might pass on a useful reminder about checking your disks first when in the throws of frustration while using disks that should work but won't. -- Regards Bill Fedora 12, Gnome 2.28 Evo.2.28, Emacs 23.1.1 -- 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

Can someone help me out here? This is driving me nutty. How do I make
F12 send the right request to the dhcp server?
Every distro seems to do this differently (sometimes each distro
changes between releases :-), but for fedora/redhat what has
always worked for me is to edit the ifcfg-eth0 script
and add:
DHCP_HOSTNAME="whatever"
to the parameters.
Hello Tom,
Thanks for the help. I took a look in that script, and I see what
you're talking about. I may end up going that route in the end, or just
editing the dnsmasq.conf file on the server to use dhcp-client-id
instead of dhcp-host.
In the mean time, its still bugging me as to what exactly is going on
here. On further inspection, the /var/run/nm-dhclient-eth0.conf files
for both the F12 machine and the U9.10 machine are nearly the same they
*both* have Network Manager adding the same line to the end ('send
dhcp-client-identifier "demandred" '), but the file in U9.10 looks like
they just copied over /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf (which they still have)
into the NM file, with one line uncommented:
send host-hame "";
I don't know if that gets expanded when the script is run to take the
machines hostname and send it as part of the dhcp request, and thats why
it gets the proper dhcp lease as it should, and F12 doesn't?
From the sounds of things, it appears I'm going to have to learn a bit
about wireshark and start trying to capture the network traffic when the
client machines send their dhcp requests and see what is and isn't being
sent.
Learning wireshark and tcpdump are valuable goals for anyone who is getting into
checking that network traffic is proper.
I thought I had taken the easy way out by just setting the MAC address of
virtual machines so I can control the name and IP address in one place. Nothing
I see in this thread makes me think there's a better way. ;-)
Having all the name/IP/MAC information in one place has made my life easier many
times, both for administration and documentation.

It uses what the BIOS tell it is available, unless you run a PAE kernel. The Physical Address Extensions allow you to address the full amount of your RAM. And the PAE kernel will be installed by default. So the 32 bit Fedora could be considered without limit too. IIRC 36 bits, or 64GB, reasonable design for a number chosen decades ago. Still a reasonable size for anything but servers, most motherboards support 16-24GB max, and only half of that if you use affordable 2GB memory instead of 4GB. The PAE kernel allows use of the NX bit, to prevent execution of non-program memory areas. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- 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

Let me try to help a bit here: they _are_ _not_ being labelled as spam on my gmail account (not anymore). And I *do* have an idea how can you claim that they are --- because apparently every gmail user teaches his own "version" of the spam filter. Select all Timothy's messages you have, click on the "not spam" button, and hopefully gmail will stop labelling them as spam. If it does not, repeat the above until it does. It appears that the spam teaching capabilities in gmail are a "per user" thing --- you need to teach gmail about this *yourself* for your account. The fact that some of us did it for our own accounts has nothing to do with yours. In my case this teaching has been quite successful, it required just a handful of messages to learn. The problem never appeared again. This was several months ago, IIRC.

I can get what I want when I start gnote from Panel Menu => Applications => Accessories but not from "Startup Applications". gnote --help nor the Configuration Editor give me any options for starting without the search window automatically opening at startup. I also end up with two instances of gnote running. Locate doesn't seem to show me a *rc file or a configuration file in /home or /etc. Any suggestions ? -- Regards Bill Fedora 12, Gnome 2.28 Evo.2.28, Emacs 23.1.1 -- 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: mounting ext3 partition as ext4 without formatting Fedora 12/LXDE spin

However, the LXDE spin seems to want to mount it as ext3 unless i format it upon installation. Is there a way to get around this problem? I'm not clear what you mean by "seems to want to mount it as ext3" here. When you run the mount command with "-t ext4" it mounts as ext3? Are you sure that the data is ext4 format? Is this a partition of some LVM creation? Did you specify this data when you did the install? You may have already formatted it?

thunderbird question with gmail
Last Friday I was trying to download all my gmail email from google down to my PC. I succeeded in getting everything from June of 2008 to July of 2009. I had to stop at that point since I had to leave for the airport. When I tried today it told me there was nothing to do which of course is wrong since there is email from July 2009 to Dec 2009 to pull. When I set the "pop for all mail" option in gmail I was able to resume downloading email except that it started from June 2008, so now I have several hundred duplicate email messages. How do I download the July 2009 - Dec 2009 emails without having to delete the June 2008 to July 2009 emails from gmail? The only other option in gmail is the "pop for mail that arrives from now on" which starts from the current time. Obviously I can delete all the already downloaded email and start over, but I was hoping for a better way.

Re: SELinux security alert
The problem is that the SElinux message re-occurs. It appears that cron creates the file with cron's context and then SElinux gets triggered because the context is wrong. Why does cron create the file and leave it lying around? And if cron needs to create the file why isn't SElinux aware of this and not complain?

i8042.c can't read CTR while initializing
It started happening yesterday afternoon when all of a sudden the system declined to take input as mouse and keyboard stoped working while i was working and finally i had to hard reboot. Fedora 11 box gave following message prior to the graphical boot process started off, and i was not able to use the inputs devices. "i8042.c can't read CTR while initializing" I was also not able to switch to BIOS setup while booting as keyboard was not responsive. Googling hinted the issue due to the USB devices connected, but i don't have any as both keyboard and mouse is PS2. With many hard restarts in vain finally was successful to boot the system [keyboard and mouse working] with the F11 DV.D. Later on updated the system thinking it to be some kernel issue, but again i was hit by the same issue while i was working today. Hence finally posting the issue. Please help out if some one have ever faced the issue earlier. -- Saurabh Sharma Linux user number: 490644 http://sawrub-blog.blogspot.com/ Open your doors...It's time to look beyond Windows -- 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: Saving Tbird e-mail files? -
On 20/12/09 00:11, Mail Lists wrote: Slow it down a moment - lets get some concepts clear. gmail does 3 things for you .. 1) it receives your mail 2) it send mail on your behalf 3) it lets you store the mail it has received and read the mail that it has received for you. (1)& (2) are mail server functions. (3) is an imap server function. So when you set up an local imap server - you are setting up a server that allows you to store and read emails. This is (3). In thunderbird you 'add an account' and as I described in first email - set it up for your imap server. Once that is done you should have 2 accounts in thunderbird - gmail and the second one you created. In thunderbird you can drag or copy emails from gmail to your second account. Thats it. I am good through steps one, two, and three then on the F-12 server but the second part of my experimental effort is to move a message from the server to this compuster box 9 [192.168.1.109] on the wired LAN, connected through an Ethernet bridge, a part of a Buffalo wireless device that also ties these cvomputers to the router downstairs in the den. The LAN works well, no problems with it. Where I am having trouble is understanding how to set up Thunderbird accounts on this second [client [box9]] computer. I found an entry in the account setup GUI called "movemail" which sounds like the right place to enter the account info. I made an account there forthe server [F-12 box6] but have not been able to extract files from the server to the client. I suspect there may be something left undone in dovecot.conf, all I did there was un-comment a few items that obviously [to me] needed to be ... Part of my problem is that I have been trying to do a number of things at once, but have tried to block my thinking from the other stuff and concentrate on this. Other stuff; converting this box to F-12, and a new Laser printer that seems only to like Windows XP. I had Windows lurking on this computer but had never booted it or set it up for internet/LAN operation, Windows stuff is mostly beyond my comprehension and I had to figure how to set that up. Windows is not Linux, there's no help with it, not for me anyway! To add to the confusion it seems Windows had some effect on the router that disrupted LAN operation, a panic ensued since other family members notice disruption of their Mac boxes! Things are calm there now, the LAN is restored to normal. I offer that just as background information. My question is why can't I collect messages from the server on the client. I can "drag" items around on both computers but the client sees only what arrives via the gmail POP server. It has an imap account set up to point to the server [192.168.1.106 [box6]] in additon to it's original pop.gmail.com.
