Yes, thanks, I missed that, but that isn't the problem. The problem is that I

Your rule didn't match anything, because there are mutually exclusive

You can't have a user_agent that starts with Mozilla AND Sogou - it
has to be one or the other, so you would have never seen anything in

are hits on the match set you posted above, or hits on another rewrite
rule, but I don't see any evidence that it's the Spider matching rule
that is generating those lines either.
You might also try upping RewriteLogLevel to something higher than 1

Consider that for a second...
You are trying to generate a list of all possible combinations of an 8
character word composed of only uppercase letters - that's 26^8
combinations (208 Billion). Each word is 8 bytes long, which I make to
be 1670616516608 bytes... or to put it another way, 1.5 TB
So, you've got 4 GB of virtual memory and you are trying to fit an
1555GB array into it. Simple mathematics says no. Dumping the
arguments before it dies is pointless, because it hasn't even got as
far as expanding arguments yet.
You need to think of another was to do this and I humbly suggest that
Bash should not be high on your list.

Re: FC10 -- adding /var/log/messages to daily logrotate
2009/9/23 Robert Moskowitz r...@htt-consult.com:
I just discovered that /var/log/messages is NOT part of the daily logrotate
on my FC10 netbook. My drive was full with a 4Gb messages file. Deleted it
and now the system is working right again.
So I want to add it to the daily rotate. Is there an easy way to set this
up?
More importantly why is it NOT part of the daily rotate?
It has been part of the (weekly) log rotation for as long as I remember.
Is your /var/log/secure log rotated correctly?
- You should have /etc/cron.daily/logrotate, which runs logrotate daily.
- You should have /etc/logrotate.conf which sets some defaults, notably:
# rotate log files weekly
weekly
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4
- You should then have something like the following script:
[...@samlap ~]$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
/var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler
/var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron {
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2 /dev/null` 2 /dev/null ||
true
endscript
}
But as I said before, I believe the messages log is on weekly
rotation, not daily and depends on cron.daily running...

In my case, the ball is moved with the fingers and my only complaint is that the scroll wheel is just out of Index Finger reach so you have to switch hand position to use it (which I don't do very often.)

I don't have UTC=* it set on my Fedora laptop, but I see it all the time at Work on RHEL machines. Frequently Tech's update the timezone by linking a new one from /etc/localtime, but don't update /etc/sysconfig/clock so their changes get overwritten on the next update of tzdata - I'm very familiar with fixing that and I'm sure that setting the correct value of TIMEZONE and UTC in this file as well as copying the right tzdata file to /etc/localtime is enough to convince a server of what timezone it resides in. But then I live in the right timezone, so when I'm not using DST, I am in UTC ;o) The bottom line is that the obvious utility which I looked at, as other people did too, did not have a check box for that setting and a bugzilla has been written.

It has perc 6i controller and I'm installing 6 15K sas drives. The plan is to setup a raid 10 configuration for improved performance. Does anyone know if I can significantly increase or degrade my performance by selecting a larger stripe size? The default is 64k and I have read in a performance report that a 512k size may be more desirable for Linux systems. Thanks for any replies. Well.. if you do large sequential reads/writes then big stripe size will help, but if you do small random-io then large stripe size like that will be really bad. It really depends on your workload. I was about to say much the same thing in closing, but actually was going to point you to this article which has different advice to Pasi's (and different to how I would expect). http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/perf/raid/concepts/perfStripe-c.html It actually says that a large stripe size might be better for random transactions on lots of small files (as I would expect from compiling code), because it means you can read a whole small file from each disk in the array - so in your case you'd be able to read 6 files at once (1 from each stripe (3) multiplied by 2 (for the mirrored copies)). If you had a small stripe size, you'd increase the chance that your small file would be split across multiple disks - so you might require more than one disk per file and you wouldn't get 6 concurrent accesses - in your case it might involve up to three drives. A small number of requests for large files might benefit from small stripe sizes, because it would increase the chance that reading your large file involved reads from multiple disks - so you'd get higher throughput. As always, large and small file sizes are subjective terms and there is no substitute for benchmarking your own particular case - and this is a hotly contested subject among Storage gurus! -- Sam -- 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 way that you wrote this Gene I would think that your driving amanda to squawk problem is an amanda problem not a .gvfs problem. Amanda is an 'addon' backup application, correct?

I just made that script from a previous message, then did a killall on the daemon, and with that gone the tree if any has now been deleted. We will wait and see what squawks. As far as the comment about an addon, non-approved app like amanda is concerned. As far as I can see, there is no distinction between gnome-vfs2 and amanda in terms of what is an 'addon'. They both come from the same repositories. Gnome is the certainly a default in some Fedora spins, but that doesn't make it and it's dependencies the one-true-desktop. I like gnome-vfs2, I use it a lot - but I'm a Gnome user - I can quite see why KIOSlave would be more important to KDE users and other methods of accessing virtual filesystems important to other DE users. If Gene doesn't want gvfs, then it shouldn't be there - Free Operating systems are about empowering user choice! But that said, I get the same thing with my .gvfs directory when I ssh in to a freshly booted system without Gnome running - which may be the environment that amanda might have to deal with - and having screwy permissions at any point has to rate a bug surely? -- Sam -- 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: How to tell if kernel compiled from kernel.org is x86_64 or just 32 bit?
2009/6/21 Antonio Olivares olivares14...@yahoo.com Dear fellow Fedora users, Is there a way to tell if a kernel is 64 bit or 32 bit? If one compiles and installs a kernel from kernel.org. Why am I asking? I have a 64 bit Fedora 11 installed and it showed 2.6.29.4-???x86_64 at the end so I know it is a 64 bit kernel. I copy the config of that kernel and compile a new one and install it, is that kernel still a 64 bit kernel or is it a 32 bit kernel? When compiling I see just x86/ directories in the source of the kernel and no x86_64? I have a modem that needs drivers to con nect the modem is 32 bit only but can be compiled in 64 bit code, I tried without success compiling it against the 2.6.29.4-?? x86_64 kernel. However, after compiling the kernel from kernel.org and compiling the same code it succeeded and it runs under the 2.6.30 kernel. I know that `uname -a` will tell many things about our running kernels, but is there something else that can tell us? Or when we compile a kernel.org kernel, do we have to say compile it in 64 bit? I have compiled several kernels, but not knowing if the new kernel is indeed 64 bit or not? The config file for the kernel which should be .config in the directory where you built the kernel will tell you. Fedora kernels copy this file to an appropriately named one in /boot. Thus: [...@samlap boot]$ grep CONFIG_X86_64 config-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 CONFIG_X86_64=y CONFIG_X86_64_SMP=y CONFIG_X86_64_ACPI_NUMA=y This is a 64bit kernel... -- Sam -- 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’ve looked at Amanda, but I’m wary about the BMR capabilities, any hints or tips? 1) make sure your machine is built using Kickstart and your favourite method of booting (I like PXE). 2) Make sure your machine is backed up with any software you like. 3) When your machine dies, rebuild it with the previous kickstart. 4) Restore the data to your kickstarted machine with your favourite backup software. 5) Profit (Seriously, I've done this - admittedly using Symantec Networker as the favourite backup software - and it is way way less headache than any other BMR method) -- Sam -- 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 examples given out by Martin wasn't and you questioned whether a Fedora 11 version of unique existed. It does. I think the real learning point here is that people who try removing all fc10 packages are going to be in trouble... An F10-F11 preupgrade will leave some (unique, ntp, ntp-perl etc.) where the updated F10 version is higher than F11 and there are some that should genuinely be in F11 because they don't have an equivalent F11 build yet. I just did an automatic --nodeps removal of all my .fc10 packages followed by a yum install of the same packages and I certainly have some still tagged as fc10, but I guess all this will change when Mr Keating fixes all those failed F11 builds in koji against his name ;o) -- Sam -- 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 freeze Rawhide as you are about to release Fedora n+1, at the point you freeze, applications are roughly at the same version levels as those in Fedora n. You make some updates to Fedora n in response to bugs or security issues, but you don't want to prejudice your Fedora n+1 testing cycle, so you queue the same updates for *after* Fedora n+1 releases. Someone then runs pre-upgrade from Fedora n to Fedora n+1, at which point any package in Fedora n which is newer than the package of the same name in Fedora n+1 is not replaced - so you end up with a small number of packages from Fedora n - Updates in your Fedora n+1 install.

Re: F11: can't record from line input
2009/6/10 James Bridge ja...@xmas.demon.co.uk: F11 seems only to have microphone input. I could record from line input in F10, using audacity. (Gnome sound recorder always gave problems.) F11 has simplified the audio controls to the point that it seems impossible to activate the line input. What to do? No point in suggesting remove PulseAudio, since that won't bring the ALSA controls back! Investigate the Advanced Volume Control in the Preferences menu. I believe it's invoked from the command line as gst-mixer. This is what the F11 Release Notes have to say on your subject: --- Volume Control An updated volume control manager application provides you with more control over your audio preferences. Better integrated with PulseAudio, you can now control individual application inputs and outputs along with the sources and destinations for the audio. Using the new PulseAudio-based volume applet, there is no way to adjust ALSA sound levels. If they are set too low, raising the PulseAudio sound levels may not work acceptably. For this contingency, the old gstreamer-based volume application is also available by default. It is available under the name Advanced Volume Control, in the SystemPreferences menu section. You will also need to use this application if you need to select an input channel for recording (for instance, line-in or mic-in). --- -- Sam -- 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

If you want to set it up so that you don't need to type the username, you need to investigate the .ssh/config file (man ssh_config for details) -- Sam -- 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: How to mount old FC10 hdd as secondary drive in new FC10 machine
2009/6/11 Frank Millman fr...@chagford.com: Hi all I have installed FC10 on a new hdd. I have an existing FC10 on another hdd, and I want to copy some data onto the new hdd. I have put the old hdd into the same machine, as a secondary drive, but I am having difficulty in mounting it. Here is the output of fdisk - [r...@localhost ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 20.4 GB, 20495658496 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2491 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x972f8d73 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 25 200781 83 Linux /dev/sda2 26 2491 19808145 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/sdb: 20.0 GB, 20019314176 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2433 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xd56bd56b Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 25 200781 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 26 2433 19342260 8e Linux LVM If I try to mount /dev/sdb2, I get the message unknown filesystem type 'lvm2pv'. I googled for this, and got quite a few hits, but I still can't get it right. Here is the output of pvscan - [r...@localhost ~]# pvscan PV /dev/sdb2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [18.44 GB / 32.00 MB free] PV /dev/sda2 VG VolGroup00 lvm2 [18.88 GB / 32.00 MB free] Total: 2 [37.31 GB] / in use: 2 [37.31 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] As you can see, /dev/sdb2 is part of VolGroup00, which according to /etc/fstab is mounted to /. I can see the contents of /dev/sda2, but not /dev/sdb2. I tried to create a new volume group for /dev/sdb2, as follows - [r...@localhost ~]# vgcreate hdd2 /dev/sdb2 Physical volume '/dev/sdb2' is already in volume group 'VolGroup00' Unable to add physical volume '/dev/sdb2' to volume group 'hdd2'. So I tried to remove /dev/sdb2 from volume group 'VolGroup00' - [r...@localhost ~]# vgreduce VolGroup00 /dev/sdb2 Physical Volume /dev/sdb2 not found in Volume Group VolGroup00 That seems strange. I tried to remove it using the gui tool Logical Volume Management. This gives the message 'Volume Group VolGroup00 does not have enough space to move the data stored on /dev/sdb2. A possible solution would be to add an additional Physical Volume to the Volume Group.' I don't know why it says that. All I want to do is remove a physical volume from a volume group. Now I have run out of ideas. Please can someone explain how I can mount my old FC10 drive in my new FC10 machine. I can't help you fix it, but I think your problem is that you have a clash of Volume Group names. Both your old and new disks are part of a VG called VolGroup00 and I have some ideas how to go about fixing that. I think if you can work out what the UUID of the Volume Group on your F10 disk is, you can run: vgrename F10UUID VolGroup00_tmp You should be able to see the UUID of that Volume Group from F10 with vgdisplay -- Sam -- 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: Monitor Driver for Sony VGN-FW235J
2009/6/11 thor richards fve...@yahoo.com: I downloaded Fedora 11 and running it on my laptop through a Virtual box by Sun. It's working great but the monitor driver is not loaded, therefore; the resolution is limited. Does anyone know where I can find the video driver for the laptop listed above. I checked the support website at Sony and they don't have it nor do they support Linux. Thanks, tr Monitors don't require drivers, Graphics Cards do require drivers. Am I correct in reading that you are: 1) Running some other OS on your laptop, that is not Fedora 11 (e.g. Windows) 2) Running Fedora 11 in a VirtualBox virtual machine on top of that other OS. If so, then you don't need a Linux driver for your real monitor or indeed graphics card, what you need is a Linux driver for the virtual graphics card that VirtualBox emulates for the VM. If it's anything like other Virtualisation software, then what it emulates is a fairly low-spec graphics card which is not capable of much more than 1024x768 - so you may be stuck with what you have. -- Sam -- 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
