Re: [LUAU] headless fedora
BIOS: Go to BIOS setup (F2 on dell?), change "Halt on all errors" to all but keyboard/mouse, it should boot. X: Turn off gdm, xdm or kdm service, most likely gdm for gnome, X no longer starts until you enable it again, just console login. If you want X without keyboard/mouse, there's an option to ignore keyboard/mouse errors for /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/XF86config. Dumb terminal: edit /etc/inittab, enable "T?" line for terminal with getty, set speed, serial port and terminal type, connect your dumb terminal, then "kill -HUP 1" to reload initd with your new terminal configuration.

[LUAU] help with iptables
Hi, when I have a linux box with two NICs, one $EXTIF (external) and one $INTIF (subnet=192.168.176.0/20). With ip masq turn on: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE how do I block $INTIF(192.168.176/20) from accessing ports(ie: 80) on the linux box(192.168.176.1), but still allow port 80 access using ip masq to the outside world? I tried the filters below, but I still can access port 80 after applying the rules: iptables -A INPUT -i $INTIF -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 --syn -j DROP iptables -A FORWARD -i $INTIF -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 --syn -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.176.0/20 -d 192.168.176.1 --dport 80 -j DROP anyone know if it's possible?

[LUAU] OT: Solaris device node using World Wide Name
Hi, I wonder if anyone can answer this question, we are using sun Storedge 3510FC on about ten different systems, one of the setup(all but one) used three of those unit linked with 2 Gb fiber loops to see maxium of 3 x (12 x 73GB) hard drives, the controllers are dual channels to the arrays. After configuration, they all created /dev/dsk/ and /dev/rdsk/ with WWN, ie /dev/rdsk/c7t40d0s20440FBDE0Fs2. We configured one with just a single array, that's 12 drives wtih 73GB each, all devices show up in /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk without WWN, ie /dev/rdsk/c7t40d0s2, c7t40d1s2 and etc. Both setup worked fine, they used the same hardware, same version of Solaris, even the same release date, applied the same patched, but don't know why the system with single arrary has normal device node and the others has the weird World Wide Name. I search the internet, found only one post talk about conflict Hard Drive ID on the SAN will cause that, but it will funtion as normal when addressed with the WWN node, I tried reconfigure with "boot -r" and devfsadm on the system with single arrary but not able to cause it to create WWN node, anyone know what's the real cause of this? Thanks

[LUAU] Re: solaris day
Agree, It's good to see them moving this direction, doesn't matter if they gain or the public gain at the end. You can't expect everyone selling just service to make their stock holder happy, I never have any bad experence with them in the past. We used alot of open source product in our envirment, but they are all in Solaris with sun hardwares, v1280, e4500, 450, v440, v240, and dumpping all ultra now. Sun rep is amazing locally, he will respond within the same day, show up with parts in 48 hours, last time they shipped parts by dropping boxes at commercial flight and have them here for replacement very fast. He told me the parts took a day or two longer since we have the one and only v1280 on this island, and they don't store them locally, but he called the office to make that change after I corrected him that we have three v1280, he only saw one at a remote site. I don't think the license make that much difference when the majorty of their os uses are tied with their hardwares, making money to pay their bills is the goal, that's almosts everyone's goal, without that.. I wouldn't be able to buy the hardwares to play with Linux, bsd and whatever at home. I love open source, but that doesn't make me hate every thing else, this world have enough room to fit all flavors, even SCO has it place to make Linux adopt faster. Thanks to Solaris that I can lay back at work except when the Winbloze PDC and SDC start screaming at me to kick them. Do I like taking care of Winbloze servers also? no, I don't, but it's part of my job as a SA. Just my personal view who have to pay his mortage(wish it's free too) at the end of each month.

Mine is fine if I don't start compiling stuff on it, I can get one of the backend to record and watch live tv or play back, I was just suprise at the load average since the switch from Mandrake. > Did you try compiling mythtv yourself, or are you using the atrpms > version still?

I was compiling since .11 running on the good old Mandrake, I am just tired of compiling and try to find a easy way out, well.. there's another reason, .18 starting to use qt3.3 on some plugins, so I am too lazy to upgrade from qt3.1 to qt3.3.

This is true when it was running Mandrake 9.2, I tried ivtv from .2, .3.2, .3.3s,l,z and now on .3.5l on fedora, ivtv wasn't one of the cause. I saw 0.7 load average in Mandrake during normal use, but it move around in fedora from 0.8 to 2.5 while watching live tv. > > > HD is enabled with DMA, using KDE as WM, the only difference would > >be xorg server on fedora, xwindow on Mandrake.

Yup, already on 7117 I think, nvidia-setting is a nice utility for over scan and adjust blanking. Any thing else which I am over looking? I am recompiling the kernel today to see if that make a different. I did some search on google, there are alot of complain on fedora running slower compair to some other dist, I want to nail down the cause first else I will be switching to debian. Thanks.
[LUAU] Fedora & mythtv cpu load
Hi, I was running Mandrake 9.2 for mythtv up to .18.1 on a shuttle sk41g using PVR350 for about 2 years, nvidia tv-out, no problem watching live tv or recording while compiling. So, I decided to switch to Fedora core 3 few weeks ago, aptrpm get the mythtv-suite, it stutter a little when starting live tv, the frontend using about 25-32% of the cpu load, video/audio hicup when I did apt-get update, then I decided to re-compile some plugins today, live tv or playback un-watchable, it pause and/or stutter while compiling. Does anyone know have experience why fedora so much slower on the same hardware? I was hunting for the cause for a while, but not able to trace it down. HD is enabled with DMA, using KDE as WM, the only difference would be xorg server on fedora, xwindow on Mandrake. Thanks for the help. SK41G, VIA chipset, AMD 2400+ xp, 512mb DDR266, WD 160Gb hard driver, onboard VIA sound, nvidia AGP MX420 with tv-out, PVR350. Thanks
