Hello all,

 Has anyone downloaded fedora 9 DVD (living in Delhi or Ghaziabadh)
 and is willing to share?

 I have a week connection and it may take 6 days to complete
 download. If anyone around has already downloaded or is downloading
 and can share, lets communicate off the list.

NITH mirror is registered at http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/  though
entry needs to be fixed :-(.

Bandwidth seems to be a major concern for both mirrors (NITH and IITM).

Hello,

After only official GNU mirror here, NITH (http://nitham.ac.in/)now
has the first
official Fedora mirror in India. See:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/

Fedora: http://fedora.glug-nith.org/linux/
Gnu: http://gnu.glug-nith.org/

GLUG-NITH: http://glug-nith.org/

Though, with not that good bandwidth. :( But, folks there are working

Re: [ilugd] reg: How to clear swap in linux

If by clearing you mean deleting then use
swapoff /dev/
and then fdisk or parted to delete the partition and reuse it of other purpose.

If you want to resize it then
use above two commands and then
mkswap /dev/
swapon /dev/

If you are deleting do remove line from fstab, i.e line starting with
swap partition.
Use man pages for details.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Andrew, but I was not free enough to come to JNU this week so

Any one Near Indrapuram Ghaziabadh (Shipra Mall) or near any metro
station also planning to download one please drop a mail off-list.

** So, that I surf better then chocking my slow net for download if
already someone with better connection planning to download;-)

Re: [ilugd] lock corrupt passwd file

Hello,

yes, look at the last line in shadow file there must be a root entry.
Remove this 'root' line. It was just to remove your earlier
password. Go ahead!

Hello,

> then as root, i just ran pwck, here's what i got:
> invalid shadow password file entry
> delete line 'root'?

As you have changed password so this line is invalid.
Now run pwconv to make shadow file. It will append root entry at the
end of file and automatically delete that line.

You can also delete it yourself.

Note: pwconv is not usually in $PATH. You can use absolute path or
..:-) You will find it yourself. ;-)

My lines are confusing, typed in hurry :-(
You can create shadow file using pwconv if it does not exist.
and if it exists remove the line having root information with 'root'

Hello niyam,

> how do i fix this problem?

This thread will help
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=146787

If nothing works then using a rescue remove x  in line

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash

from file /etc/passwd
and if shadow file exist (in case it is not empty or corrupted) create
it and the line containing root password should be

root

Next time on booting set your password using by logging as normal user
and doing a 'su'

Try selecting India(You do not have to select from drop down options),
add it and select it and reboot your X. It will work. :-)
