Re: RPM Troubles... Again

[Joe Giles]

Ok, as a work around, I had to add LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 to the
beginning of the line like this:

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 rpm -qa |grep kernel

and it worked... 

Sheeesh.. Its getting more and more cryptic to use these servers anymore
:-D


Thanks

Joe

Re: RPM Troubles... Again

[Joe Giles]

Well, I stopped rhnsd and the Red Carpet clients, and still it doesn't
work. I cant see any other process that would use RPM for anything. I
have also rebooted the server and still no go...

RPM Troubles... Again

[Joe Giles]

Well, for NO apparent reason AT ALL, RPM is giving me errors while
trying to run... Here are the errors while trying to grep the kernels I
have installed:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -qa |grep kernel
rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Resource temporarily
unavailable (11)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm


Here is the error I get when I removed the db files from /var/lib/rpm
and tried to rebuild the db:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] rpm]# rpm --rebuilddb
rpmdb: unable to join the environment
error: db4 error(11) from dbenv->open: Resource temporarily unavailable
error: cannot open Packages index

Can anyone assist me with this. 

My system is a RH 9 system running the 2.6.0 kernel (RPM was working
after the upgrade too).

Much appreciated!!!

Joe

NVidia Driver for Kernel 2.6

[Joe Giles]

Hello,

Several months ago (Or weeks as my mind is slipping :-P) some one on
this list helped me compile the NVidia driver for the 2.5 kernel tree.
They also sent me a config file to play with. 

I cant remember the method that was discussed on how to patch the nvidia
driver or how to create the sym links. 

Could that person, or someone else shoot me the link on the how to for
that. Or if you have the text, if you could reply with the method.

Thanks

Joe

Hmmmm. Another Broken GLIBC?

[Joe Giles]

Well, I too updated my GLIBC tonight to version 2.3.2-57 and, after
recompiling my patched Qmail server, I find that now I cant install any
RPM's. I get a seg fault. I noticed several people have posted similar
posts as well. Can someone confirm that the latest rpm for GLIBC works?
And, if so, how to get the RPM installer back?

Thanks a million :)

looked at the man ifconfig and man mii-tool but nothing on resetting the

What Mailing List Manager Do You Use?

[Joe Giles]

List,

I'm trying to set up a mailing list manager for my users. I am using Red
Hat 7.3 with Qmail (Same version that had been around FOREVER). What I
need is the ability to set up a SIMPLE mailing list for users that are NOT
part of the domain my server serves. Example... I want people from
hotmail, yahoo, qwest.net and other domains to be able to participate on
the mailing list. Also, I would like to be able to manage the lists from a
web page to make it easier. Open source is desired as well...

What do you use?

Any advice is appreciated.

IFConfig OVERRUNS

[Joe Giles]

List,

Recently I turned my server into an online gamming server. It is a Red Hat
7.3 server that is ALL up2date as of 7/12/03. Shortly after running as a
game server I noticed that when I do an ifconfig, I get some overruns. No
errors or other annomolys, just the overruns. Below is an example output
of ifconfig. Is this something to worry about, and what exactly is an
overrun?

Thanks In Advance!!!

Trouble With APT

going up and up... My consern is running out of swap space eventually.

So would the syntax be as follows:

Sorry if I'm asking a brainless question... Never used rsync before :-P

Re: Viewing CP status

[Joe Giles]

Yeah, I share a FS using samba and mount the connection at work. Then I
set up iptables to only allow the ip/subnet of my work and home to allow
the samba and related ports access so it is secure... This has worked
very well. No need for VPN :-P

Besides, I have a VPN connection and because of tunneling, the transfer
of large files are rather slow (About 1/2 the actual speed or more
because of encapsulation).

The line is incredibly stable for the two links. The transfer speed is
about 69.5k/s consistently. I though about doing the math myself, that
way I could get a round about idea of when it would be done, I just
though there might be an easier way.

Thanks

Joe

Re: Viewing CP status

[Joe Giles]

Well, nothing is failing. I just want to know how long I have to wait to
copy a file from one server to another so I can retrieve that file and
work with it. The file is a little over 400 megs and the link is a dsl
link (640 x 256). So I just wish to know a round about time it will
finish. I suppose I can ftp it so I can see a status..

Viewing CP status

[Joe Giles]

Is there a way to get the 'cp' command to display some kind of status
that the copy is happening. Like hash marks or something...

Its gets frustrating when copying large files from one location to
another and not seeing any progress.

Thanks

Re: Linux vs Windows

[Joe Giles]

I think its really funny that M$ people get s agitated about us
Linux folks...

Just like a little kid... Kinda Cute to me :-P

While Windows 2K and XP are allot better then previous versions of
Windows, Linux is still the better of the two in my opinion. I have
administered and used Microsoft since Win 3.0 and as far as a home
system goes its an ok OS for playing games and the like. But once I
found Linux and all the software I could get with the distro FOR FREE
(Keep in mind, I OWN WinXP Pro, Not the CHEAP home edition, but PRO, so
I can afford it), and how stable and secure it was, I only use XP to
play games with and I use Linux to do real work. I'm even changing some
of my servers at work over to Linux just because it runs better and more
stable. Longer up times too. 

Anyway, you should go back to a Microsoft tech e-mail list and slam
Linux all you want to there, cause you will get as far here as we would
in a MS list..

Bye Bye

:-P

Re: Nvidia card acceleration problem.

[Joe Giles]

Try changing the "nv" in Section Device to "nvidia". nv pertains to the
Red Had device whereas nvidia is the new driver from Nvidia. Also, I
assume that you installed the kernel and glx drivers from the Nvidia
site as well...

This is documented in the readme that is on the website as well...


Hope this helps

Re: Email Server

[Joe Giles]

Possibly, I haven't looked into other ones since I went to qmail. Maybe
there isn't allot of development on it cause there doesn't need to be
any. No need to make changes to a system that works well... If you need
different functionality, just add an add on (There are tons) to qmail
and edit some files and voila, all set...

Re: Is RH8 Ever Going to be Updated?

[Joe Giles]

Well, as far as Item 3 is concerned, I had the same problem a while ago
until someone pointed me to GKRellm. It has the network traffic "Lights"
and a TON of other helpful monitoring tools..

Give that a try...

As far as your other issues... I, along with some of the others that
have responded have said, feel your pain too. I'm some what of a n00b
with Linux, but I'll tell you what... Its still Linux and it is yours to
customize and modify. 

I wont use 8.0 on ANY of my servers and still use 7.3. I have been
forced to investigate and fix allot of problems with 8.0 and it has made
me a stronger Linux admin due to learning and fixing different areas of
RH 8.0.

Anyway, good luck with your endeavors...

Re: MySQL vs. PostgreSQL

[Joe Giles]

Well, I stated that for redundancy I created sym links. That isn't the
proper wording I should have used. What I meant to say was I created sym
links from one file system to another for space reasons. I ran out of
space on the /var part. so I linked the databases to another fs. Sorry
for the misunderstanding. So, what I simply did is 
ln -s /var/lib/mysql/ /storage/database/ .

Then, when I upgraded, I break the link. Then relink when the upgrade is
done. Not sure if I even need to, but someone told be awhile ago that I
should disconnect the link so I don't loose any data. Again, I'm not in
any way a guru on this, I was simply asking if it was a wise way to do
it or even if its needed (Unlinking for an upgrade).

Also, I will look at your backup strategy and see if I can implement it
into my system.

Thanks

Joe

Re: MySQL vs. PostgreSQL

[Joe Giles]

Question about backing up...

Sorry if this is not on the lines of what you guys are talking about,
but I set up MySQL and I sym link the database from one file system to
another for redundancy purposes. So, when I upgrade, I just break the
link and upgrade, then re link. It has worked so far (well, only one
upgrade as of yet). Is this a BAD idea? Was I just lucky?

When I backup, I just backup the dir that pertains to the database. I
have not had to restore anything yet...

I appreciate the comments good or bad so I don't get stuck in the
future...

Thanks

Joe

Re: Samba Printer Share

Ok, I tried the LPR driver and connected to the Linux server and to the
printer que name, but still no luck. Is there somewhere where I need to
check permissions?

The password for my user account is different on the workstation than it
is for the server..

Thanks.. One problem solved :-D

Samba Printer Share

[Joe Giles]

Not sure if this would be better for the Samba list, but I though I would
see if the guru's here would be able to help me.

Here is my problem:

I have a Deskjet 820Cse printer installed on my RedHat Linux 7.3 machine.
It works great. I have the printer set up as a share on my network using
Samba. Windows clients can connect to it and everything seems to print ok.
However, when a user clicks on the printer icon from within windows, it
says ACCESS DENIED. Unable to connect to the printer. However, they can
print to it fine. The problem is, they cant manage their documents at all
while they are printing cause they cant see the job due to the access
problem. Weird hu?

Problem 2:

Same server, Linux as the workstation. Im trying to connect my Linux box
(RedHat 8.0) machine to the same printer as above using SMB, however, it
does nothing. It installes ok, LPR restarted, but when I try to print a
test, nothing prints. I can ping the server and do a smbclient -L
 and see the share too.

Here is my printer section in smb.conf. Hope this helps:

[printers]
path = /var/tmp
browseable = yes
comment = All Printers
guest ok = yes
printable = yes

[deskjet820Cse]
path = /var/tmp
printer name = home_printer
writable = yes
public = yes
printable = yes
print command = lpr -l -r -h -P %p %s

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Joe

Problem solved. I read on the VMWare site that the files sit in the /tmp
directory, but are not visible. This is so nothing can access these files
and cause a problem. There for, I was not able to "See" the space being

preferences to point the temp file to a larger partition and it is working
now. Hope this information might help someone else.

Re: Resizing the file system

[Joe Giles]

This is my df -h out put when NO virtual server is running:
FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7 486M   80M  381M  18% /
/dev/hda1  99M  9.6M   84M  11% /boot
/dev/hda6 4.8G  356M  4.2G   8% /home
none  251M 0  250M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/ida/c0d0p142G   16G   24G  38% /storage
/dev/hda2 5.8G  3.6G  1.9G  66% /usr
/dev/hda3 1.9G  730M  1.1G  40% /var

So even one virtual server eats up something. Just not sure what. I guess
I could call VMWare Tech support. Network Fussion did an article on VMWare
GSX using RH 7.3 and they had 6 virtual servers running with no problems.
I bet they had a larger / partition maybe.

Re: Resizing the file system

[Joe Giles]

Well, I checked /tmp and it was consistent at 5.2 megs through out the
whole ordeal. I'm running the VMWare GSX Virtual servers as my username
and /root is only 23 or so megs. I could not for the life of me figure out
what was growing. So, I did a du -ahL and exported that to a text file,
then ran both VMWare sessions and when the / partition was growing
considerable, I saved the output of du -ahL to another text file and
diffed the two. The only change between them was /proc/kcore. So I
ASS'U'ME'Ed (:-P)that was the case. I must admit I am learning Linux
somewhat, so I apologize if I may misinterpret some information I see.

I did not notice any additional Extra files in the / partition, however,
there are several directories under that that I was not able to check
before I had to shut down the GSX server before / went to 0%. If you or
any one has experienced this, HELP!!!..

BTW, I'm running RH 7.3 on the server, if that helps...

Thanks

Re: Resizing the file system

[Joe Giles]

Well, as you can see from my first post, /var is already on its own
partion. The reason Im wanting to do this is because Im running VMWare GSX
server on this server and when I run more than one VMWare session, the
/proc/kcore file grows and grows and grows. It eventually eats up /. I was
going to link that to another partion, but I figured that I would not be
able to with out crashing the server. S, i wanted to resize the /
partion. Well, If need be, I can always rebuld the server. Lord knows I
need to anyway :)

Thanks for the reply...

Resizing the file system

[Joe Giles]

List,

I was wondering what utility I could use to shrink a partition and use the
free space to grow another partition? Here is what I have:

File systemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7 486M  349M  112M  76% /
/dev/hda1  99M  9.6M   84M  11% /boot
/dev/hda6 4.8G  357M  4.2G   8% /home
none  251M 0  250M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/ida/c0d0p142G   16G   24G  38% /storage
/dev/hda2 5.8G  3.6G  1.9G  66% /usr
/dev/hda3 1.9G  732M  1.1G  40% /var

What I want to do is shrink /home (/dev/hda6) say one gig and use that 1
gig to grow / (/dev/hda7) partition.

Is this possible without rebuilding the server?

Thanks in advance

Re: Monitor Shakes....

[Joe Giles]

I had a friend that had the same problem as you guys. She moved into a
new apartment and her monitor started shaking. I told her to move out of
California cause of all the earth quakes :-D

Ok, joking aside. Her REAL problem was the power in her new apartment.
When we tested it it was not quite 110. She called an electrician out
and found the problem in the breaker box. There was some substandard
breakers there that was not making contact or something. Might want to
check out the power. Oh, wait. You have a UPS... H. Might be that
the move messed up your monitor somehow. Try taking it to another
location and see if it still shakes. If it doesn't, there might be some
High Tension lines outside that are interrupting the monitor. 

Might be The video card too. Just a guess. 

Ok, so I didn't help that much.. Sorry. Thought the joke would cheer you
up though :)

KDE Install Directory?

[Joe Giles]

I have a basic question for everyone...

Where is the default KDE install directory in RedHat 8.0. 

I'm trying to build KDE 3.1 and it is asking me where the KDE install
path is. 

Sorry for such a basic question, but I cant find it.

Re: nvidia drivers and rh7.3

I belive the config file for 7.3 was XF86Config-4 file.. Look for that one

Re: I want to add a second network card...

[Joe Giles]

Well, Linux has come along way with auto detecting new hardware. If the
nic is on the Hardware Compatibility list for Red Hat, you can simply
add it to the machine and reboot. Kudzu should detect it and ask you if
you want to configure the new device. Once that is done, you are all
set. You can, then, use a tool like Webmin (http://www.webmin.com) to
administrate it. 

Hope this helps..

Question about Kernels

[Joe Giles]

List,

I was wondering. I want to play with building my own Kernel. My question
is this.

Can I download a Kernel from the source tree at kernel.org, say 2.5.50
(Just released) and use the Red Hat config file from an RPM installed
kernel (/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-18.8.0/configs) and compile it? Would this
work say if I don't make any changes to the kernel, but load those
config settings, build and install?

Thanks

Extracting Data From a Web Site

[Joe Giles]

List,

I have been tasked with grabbing various internal websites that have
basic text data on them and grabbing and storing that data in another
text file without opening up the web page itself. Make sense?  Example.

www.myinternalwebsite.com has a location called deployment_packages.htm.
I want to grab the data from that page (Which is plain text) and dump it
into another text document not located on the same server. I would like
to do this from a cron job if possible.

Is there a way to do this with Linux?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Window Managers

[Joe Giles]

List,
I have been using Linux for a while, and I have used Gnome and KDE
primarily. I wish to now broaden my horizons and try a different
Desktop. Is there other desktops besides Gnome and KDE. I read about
Window managers, but is this the same thing? Once I install it, will
they come up in my Log in window as an option to log into like Gnome and
KDE? Can I run apps that normally run on KDE and Gnome, like Evolution
and GKRellm?

Also, if someone can point me in the right direction as to what is out
there.

Thanks a million...

Re: Theme help

[Joe Giles]

You know, I tried to install the Aqua theme from KDE-LOOK and when I
browsed for the .themerc file, the theme manager didn't see it (Even
though it was filtered to look for that extension). Now, I went to the
dir in Konqueror and it was, in fact, there. I don't recall having this
problem with 7.3. Is this another 8.0 bug? I have also upgraded KDE to
3.0.5-2.

Thanks

Joe

UDMA66 Patch

MASQ My External IP to an Internal one--- You say HU? :-P

[Joe Giles]

What I want to do is masq my external (Internet side) IP address as
something else so that when I connect to another server my actual IP is
not noted. 

Justification:
I play allot of on-line games (Counter Strike and Day Of Defeat in
particular) and when I connect to these online game servers it records
my servers IP address (I already MASQ using IPTABLES for my internal
network). I also run a web server and e-mail server and what has
happened is since I have been playing these games and broadcasting my IP
address to these "Kiddie" servers, I have noticed allot more hack
attempts and other problems. So, what I want to do is "Fake" my servers
IP address as an internal or Private IP address so these servers don't
actually get my actual IP address.

Can this be done, and if so, would it also break my WEB and E-Mail
server?

TIA

Running httpd (apache) From xinetd

List,

What would you all recommend? Running HTTPD as standalone, or running
with xinetd? 

Would xinetd manage resources better than standalone or no?

Re: Up-2-date applet missing from taskbar

[Joe Giles]

Well, I had the EXACT same problems you are having, with the exception
of the POP3 password. There was a thread a few days ago about the RHN
applet that I posted. Appears it is another bug with 8.0. Here is a
TEMPORARY workaround, however:

perl /usr/share/rhn/rhn_applet/applet.py &

That will keep it there till it decides to delete again. 

I was having some additional problems. It appears that the spell
checker, when upgraded to 1.2.0 , is disabled by default now. Now, this
is not that big of a deal for me, but it was a pain in the A$$ to change
46 users evolution's spell checkers back. This is a nice upgrade, but it
appears that the installer setup phase could use some work.

There was also some weird things happening to my task bar when I
upgraded. Cant really explain it other than to say that my task bar
applets are all strange sized. With blank fields in them and the like.
And when I was messing with them, trying to fix them, KDE SEG FAULTED
once. So far a reboot has stopped that. Not sure what is up with that
yet.

Anyway, to date, I have not seen a permanent fix for the RHN applet. 

Let me know if you or anyone else has a fix for these problems. 

Joe

Red Hat 8.0 and Winbind

[Joe Giles]

This might be a better mail note for the SAMBA lists, but I though I'd
try here first...

I have SAMBA and WINBIND installed on an 8.0 server. I have it
configured EXACTLY like my 7.3 server (which works great)

When I try to do a getent passwd |grep username so it will reply with a
DOMAIN+username response, it just hangs. Also, now when I try to log
into ssh using a LOCAL username, it hangs at the password. I have
changed the sshd pam config file to include pam_winbind.so. I have also
made the change in the nsswitch.conf file to look at files and winbind.
Any idea as to why this doesn't work for 8.0? Maybe one of the many
issues 8.0 is having?

I also, for reverence, have the samba server joined into the NT domain.
Also, I was able to do the getent passwd |grep username before I changed
the pam files for local login. 

Thanks

Re: RH 8.0 man pages show wired charters

[Joe Giles]

What I did, and what was discussed on the list last week was this:
open /etc/sysconfig/i18n

and change this line:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

To this
LANG="POSIX"

That has worked for me

Hope this helps

Re: Installation freeze! Now with my BIOS settings

Have you tried to do a text only install...

When the CD boots, and you have a list of option then a boot: prompt, I
believe you enter text and press enter.

UP2DATE Notifyer Gone

[Joe Giles]

List, 
I use KDE on my RH 8.0 machine and I noticed the other day that the
up2date status that sits in my systray is not there anymore. There is,
instead, a spot for it that seems to be taken up but nothing is visible.
Is there a way to get this back? I have tried removing the system tray
applet and re adding it to no avail. 

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Upgrading KDE

[Joe Giles]

List,
I would like some advice on upgrading my KDE to 3.0.4. I guess there are
some bug fixes and security patches with this new version, so I would
like to upgrade. Now, in the past, I would simply do a rpm -UHV --nodeps
*.rpm in the directory that contained the KDE rpm's. Is this what you
would do. Or is there a better safer way to do this. 

Any opinions are welcome. 

Thanks

/etc/sysconfig/harddisks settings

[Joe Giles]

List, 
I am trying to set EXTRA_PARAMS= in the above mentioned file, and it
appears that if I add more than one parameter, it doesn't activate any.
I'm trying to add this to that line:

EXTRA_PARAMS=-c1 -X69 -u1

But when I do that, none of the settings hold. Now, if I add one, like
the -c1, then it works. Is there a proper format for this line?

Note:

When I do this on the command line list this:

hdparm -c1 -X69 -u1 /dev/hdb

it works fine with this output:

/dev/hdb:
 setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 1
 setting unmaskirq to 1 (on)
 setting xfermode to 69 (UltraDMA mode5)
 IO_support   =  1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq=  1 (on)

Thanks

Hogwash Help

[Joe Giles]

I was wondering if anyone on this list could assist me with Hogwash?

I have e-mailed the Hogwash list, but it appears that no one frequents
this list as I have not received a reply. 

I have downloaded it and installed it using the default rules that came
with the tar file. I was able to get it up an running, however, I have
allot of questions about the way it works and some of the features and
there doesn't seem to be allot of documents on-line about Hogwash (Or I
cant seem to locate them).

Any help with locating some documentation, HOWTO's, or any other help
would be great.

Thanks

If so, could you please point me in the right direction to set this up

Re: Kernel Recompile

[Joe Giles]

Sounds like the Config file problem. you can get the default kernal
config that comes with Red Hat from the directory configs in your source
tree. Then, find the one that corresponds to your setup and copy it to
the root of the source tree as the filename .config

Then, run make xconfig again and make your additions. This might solve
all your problems. 

Thanks

Joe

Default Browser

How would one change the default browser in Linux?
So, when Evolution opens up a link, it opens Netscape instead of
Mozzila.

Re: Changing the default browser

Yeah, I changed that already. That is for system links. I'm referring to
Evolution. When I click on a link inside an e-mail address, it opens
Mozilla. I want it to open Netscape. I was thinking about a setting in
Evolution, but I can't find one. Maybe a Gnome setting?

Thanks for the reply :)

System Tray and Other KDE issues

[Joe Giles]

List,
1> I seem to have misplaced items that usually appear in my system tray.
Such as the Red Hat Network status, Security key, and some other items.
I have tried to remove the applet and re add it to no avail. Is there a
setting for this that I'm missing?

2> For some reason, I cant change my login manager. With 7.3, I would
use the KDE one. This way, I can have some of my users listed there.
Now, I tried the desktop switching tool and tried to edit the
/etc/sysconfig/desktop and that didn't seem to work.

Any idea how to fix these items?

Any help would be GREAT!!!

Sure is.. Edit the /etc/inittab file and change the 5 to a 3 on the line
