X crashes
Hi, I've had a lot of problems with X locking up on my Fedora 10 machine with nvidia legacy drivers, I've an old fx5200. I can still ssh into it, and was wondering how you restart X remotely. I've tried playing with init 3, but that hasn't worked. I'm also having problems with the video blanking for about 0.5s. What should I be looking for and where wrt to logs. Thank you very much, James -- 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
Removing Pulse Audio
Hi, I followed the instructions here for installing Pulse Audio, (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=206868) on my F10 machine, (an F9 upgrade). I did this as I thought the system upgrades would do this eventually anyway and was interested. However it's just just caused me grief. Does anyone have any instructions on how to remove this completely from my system, that they've successfully used? It's become slow, hard-locks, sound skips or just stops.

Recovering from a hard X lock up
Hi, My Fedora 10 machine locks up X completely, but I can still login via SSH. The monitor still shows the X window, but nothing changes, no clock, mouse nothing. X processes are still running, but not sure how to go about shutting them down. Last night, I tried to get the system to shut down sanely by running shutdown -h now and although the command ran and I couldn't login via ssh anymore, the machine did not shut down. Can anyone tell me how to shutdown and restart X properly. Tried things like startx( had a x lock file exists error) and init 3, but nothing worked. Thanks!

You're correct in thinking that the keyboard doesn't respond to ctrl-alt-backspace, I've tried that. I'll try the kill X next time, but last time I did that it seemed to corrupt my boot partition and I had to use a rescue disk. TBH, my system is getting increasingly unstable (1 hard lock up per day). I'm going to try and memtest, see how it gets on with a couple of hours unreal tournament in windows to check the hardware, and if that doesn't work I'll try upgrading to F11. If that doesn't work, new re-install time, but I've not really got the time for that. On my gentoo system, if things go awry, you can just tell it to rebuild everything, is there a similar option to reinstall all the core packages with fedora? Anyway, thanks for your time with this problem.

Installed a new Motherboard and can't get one of the network sockets to work.
Hi, I've just replaced by amd 2400+ system with an intel core 2duo and gigabyte ga-x48-ds4 motherboard. One of the network sockets on the device doesn't work, even though both are enabled in the bios The gui network app shows it, but it can't be activated, although it does pick up a unique mac address. It doesn't show up in ifconfig and if I try and click on hte network connection applet I get a SIOCGIFFLAGS error: No Such Device If I try Ifup cannot find device "eth0" Error for wireless req "set Encode " (8B2A) set failed on device eth0; no such device Cannot find device eth0 Failed to bring up eth0 I'll try it with my knoppix usb stick later, but any ideas would be gratefully received. Both sockets use the same realtek chipset. thanks, James -- 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
booting fedora 11 from a fedora 10 grub?
Hi, I've got a machine with three hard-drives in it. two sata and one ide. I've a fedora 10 (upgraded from 9) on the first sata drive, and I've installed fedora 11 on the second sata drive. The machine boots off the first of these drives and the ide one contains windows. I copied the lines out of grub.conf on the f11 disk, and copied them to the grub.conf of the first disk, and reinstalled. However, f10 boots fine, f11 doesn't boot. and grub gives me an error 17.

Re: booting fedora 11 from a fedora 10 grub?
ok, I've got to reinstall my system due to new hardware (32-64 bit) and wanted to see what F11 was like, whilst being able to keep on using my slightly broken f10 installtion in the mean time.. I don't really understand why it's using the UUID, I've just got two versions of fedora on two drives and would just like them to boot. The F11 isn't a reinstall, it's a first time install on a clean drive.

Re: booting fedora 11 from a fedora 10 grub?
So is there some sort of conversion in the initrd converting from the UUId to something conventional like /dev/sdb2, and if so why doesn't just substituting /dev/sdb2 not work. 2009/9/19 Tony Nelson > On 09-09-19 07:57:03, James Allsopp wrote: > > ...

Re: booting fedora 11 from a fedora 10 grub?
but why isn't idenitfied by /dev/sda2 like partitions normally are? I'm not understanding why a UUID is necessary, as opposed to a standard /dev/sd pointer to the root partition. Basically how can I get this to work?

Re: booting fedora 11 from a fedora 10 grub?
Ok, I've tried substituting /dev/sdb2 and /dev/sda2 for the root, nothing changes. When I installed the F11 OS on sdb, I asked it to install the bootloader on sda to overwrite my existing bootloader, this didn't work, so I rescued the F10 OS and from there I reinstalled the bootloader onto /dev/sda. This got F10 working again. I mounted dev/sdb1 and copied the lines out of the F11 grub.conf into the F10 (/dev/sda1) grub.conf then reinstalled the bootloader (grub-install /dev/sda). F10 boots, but F11 doesn't., it gives me an Error 17. Here's the F10 grub.conf # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition.

TV-out with nvidia drivers in Fedora 10

Joining wireless and wired networks
Hi, I've a computer at home I'm using for a network gateway, which has two ethernet cards and a wireless card. One of the ethernet cards connects to the outside world and the wireless side of the network connects to the internet using iptables to provide NAT and forward the packets over. The system is also running a dhcp server for the providing IP addresses to the wireless clients. What I want to do now is bring in the other ethernet card so computers attached to that part of the network can connect to the internet and access the services of the other machines on the network, regardless of whether they're on the gateway or the wireless network. I was considering bridging the wireless and the wired networks, but just wanted to ask for opinions, other options. I''m loooking at eventually getting a job working with linux systems, so it doesn't have to be a "what would be best in a home environment" solution.

Worried about having been hacked
Hi, I've a Fedora core 10 system which spends a lot of the time connected directly to the internet, with a static ip. The only external ports open are 80 and 22. SSH only allows access to one non-root user via an rsa key. I'm using an IPtables script from > http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html However, I normally get my logs e-mailed to an external account and they're not getting to me. I'm not sure if they've not been sent or my logs are being altered and hidden. How do I diagnose this problem, and in general look for security incursions. I'm thinking of leaving wireshark running on the external ethernet card and see what happens. Thanks, any advice much appreciated.

hostapd, dhcpd-4 and windows vista
Hi, I'm running a fedora 10 system as a wireless access point, using hostapd, the madwifi driver and isc's dhcpd-4.0. The windows vista connects, briefly and then loses the connection after a few minutes, and you can't reconnect. does anyone know how I should go about debugging this?

Setting up a home wireless server.
hi, I'm setting up a wireless access point and I've got the laptop to connect to the server, and dhcp working, but I can't get the firewall to forward packets to the outside wall. I've seen some people setting up a bridging device, but before I've done it using iptables. Is one of these methods better, deprecated or just different? I'm using the iptables script described here; http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html#INCLUDERCFIREWALL the forward part is here $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $LAN_IFACE -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $INET_IFACE -j SNAT --to-source $INET_IP But there doesn't seem to be anything to redirect the return packets or to tell it which interface the outbound packets should be on. It says in the tutorial masquerade should be avoided due to the extra CPU, any comments?

Re: Setting up a home wireless server.
How would you go about setting up the routing, and would that get in the way of, for instance, if I want to ssh into my router from the internal network and opposed to going right through onto the internet. Seems there's three ways to do this from what I can find, i.) Set up a bridging device ii.) Use Iptables (but which, via SNAT or MASQUERADE) iii.) Use routing tables? What are the pro's and con's of these approaches.

Computer host name
Hi, I've deactivated NetworkManager as it was interfering with my wireless networking, but since then my computer has been renamed to -bethere.co.uk, instead of localhost.localdomain. I've looked at /etc/hosts /etc/sysconfig/network and these are all set up as localhost.localdomain and the network card facing the internet is set up statically. Anyone have any ideas how to stop this happening?

Couple of install questions
Hi, I need to ask a few questions about a new Fedora install which I need to do over today and tomorrow. Which is the better option, installing F11 or F12 beta? I would upgrade to the full F12 version as soon as it came out anyway. File Formats, has anyone had any problems with Ext4, primarily running on an LVM inside a RAID1.

Re: Couple of install questions
Ok, which would be the easier upgrade path F11 -> F12 F12 beta -> F12 and can you install directly onto ext4 using anaconda for partitions sitting on an LVM in RAID1? Is ext4 still considered beta, or is it production quality yet? Jim fedora wrote: > Hi Jim > first trial, i installed on ext4 as well, not using anaconda.

Fedora 12 install grief
Hi, Downloaded the x86_64 install, checked the checcksum, burnt the dvd and checked as part of the install. Plus point, looks very nice! Got to the setting up filesystems, i've 2x1tb and a 120gb drive. Set each of the tb drives as 300mb boot (ext3), 4gb swap, and everything else as raid 1. I set one of the \boot partitions as /boot. I placed an lvm of top of the RAID. In the lvm, I placed a /25gb, /usr 30gb, /var, 20gb /tmp 10gb (all ext4) and about 800gb /home. I set the 120gb drive as lvm and placed one 20gb partition in it. The installer then crashed and hard locked. I'm writing this from memory, and can't remember the exact error. Am I doing anything stupid?

ath5k access point in Fedora 12
Hi, has anyone had any joy getting an atheros card working in Master mode in Fedora 12. All the options in the networking and network-script directories say Mode=Master but it won't start. The error on bringing wlan0 up is; Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Failing this, is there an easy way to install madwifi, as I had trouble finding a repository with the atheros drivers in. People are also talking about compat-wireless, but a yum search reveals nothing in the repositories. Also is there a way of finding out in fedora what options were used to compile the kernel.

Obtaining an RPM for the proper old atheros madwifi driver, not ath5k
Hi, I'm running Fedora 12, and was wondering if anyone knew of a repository which contains one of hte old atheros drivers. I want to get rid of ath5k as it doesn't seem to have a good reputation, sounds very experimental still, and I can't make an access point with it without a hostapd0.6 rpm. Can anyone help?

No, what's there is the ath5k drivers labelled as madwifi, not the original useful drivers. 2009/12/4 Rodney Morris > On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 11:17 AM, James Allsopp > wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm running Fedora 12, and was wondering if anyone knew of a repository > > which contains one of hte old atheros drivers.

Re: Obtaining an RPM for the proper old atheros madwifi driver, not ath5k
I actually realised what I was doing wrong. The ath5k module came with the fedora kernel, but I've blacklisted it, and now and got the madwifi drivers installed. I can now get the device into master with the correct ssid, but can't get ath0 to accept an ip address. I tried to use ath5k, but need the 0.6 version of hostapd. There doesn't appear to be a rpm in any repository for this recently version. I don't want to leave my system in a mess by installing it manually, hence returning to madwifi. Also I believe one of the users in this thread said that they couldn't get ath5k working as an ap, whereas I've had madwifi working as an ap before. If anyone can show me the location of a 0.6 hostapd rpm, I'll try ath5k. James 2009/12/4 Lonni J Friedman > On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 10:44 AM, John W.

Selinux problems
Hi,
I keep getting this SELinux issue, This is a new install of Fedora 12, and I
just copied all of my home directory back to this machine from an external
after install. I've tried running "restorecon /home" but no change.
Any ideas,
James
Summary:
SELinux is preventing access to files with the label, file_t.
Detailed Description:
[gdm-session-wor has a permissive type (xdm_t). This access was not denied.]
SELinux permission checks on files labeled file_t are being denied. file_t
is
the context the SELinux kernel gives to files that do not have a label. This
indicates a serious labeling problem. No files on an SELinux box should ever
be
labeled file_t. If you have just added a new disk drive to the system you
can
relabel it using the restorecon command. Otherwise you should relabel the
entire
file system.
Allowing Access:
You can execute the following command as root to relabel your computer
system:
"touch /.autorelabel; reboot"

Sound crackles at when logging in or starting to play in F12
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could solve this problem, whenever I log into F12 or start music, I get a burst of static through my speakers. I've done some research and found out about this, but is this likely to be the cause? The PulseAudio sound server has been rewritten to use timer-based audio scheduling instead of the traditional interrupt-driven approach. Timer-based scheduling may expose issues in some Alsa drivers. To turn timer-based scheduling off, replace the line load-module module-hal-detect in /etc/pulse/default.pa by load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0 thanks for any help, James -- 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
