[SLUG] battery monitor

2003-09-09 Thread Adam Hewitt
Hi All,

I have been trying to get the orinoco drivers compiled so that I can use
airsnort, however in my 57th recompile of the kernel I have suddenly
lost my battery monitor...well its there but it is showing a red ! and
that is empty...I dont remember doing anything special to get it working
in the first place. Does anyone know what is required to get it to work
again??

Adam.

You didn't give people much info to go on, but I could image if you've
(inadvertently) switched from apm to acpi you might have some issues.

I've installed rh8 and rh9 on this machine -- 768Mb of mem,

Sounds like faulty ram or cdrom drive to me.

 They do specify that you use netapp filers, but other than that it's
 just NFS.

Yes, that's what I understand too.  Only supported on netapp
filers.

I suspect it's not just marketing talk.  NFS is not NFS, particularly
on linux.

We use that for a couple of our sites. It works pretty well, but has
been known in the past to go berserk and nail the CPU indefinitely.
I don't know what the trigger conditions were (possibly recursive
links), and it hasn't happened for quite some time, so I'd rate it as
a minimal risk.

Re: [Fwd: RE: [SLUG] Oracle over NFS]

2003-09-09 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  The shared aspect is the key.  2 boxes both able to access the data
  (oracle and application failover), otherwise I'd disk array it.

What about a SCSI array shared between a pair of servers, with a cable
to each?
I've seen this operating as a very clean failover system between a pair
of Netware boxes. I have no idea how Oracle would deal with it, though.

Have you got the PMU stuff compiled in, and that there's the APM compatible
options turned on to make the PMU look like APM?

You wouldn't have ACPI turned on either, as ibooks don't have it.

Or check your battery isn't flat ;-)

[SLUG] seg fault in passwd, can I 'rpm passwd' ?

2003-09-09 Thread Voytek Eymont
I have a problem with 'passwd' crashing with 'Segmentation fault':

# passwd voytek
Changing password for user voytek.
New password:
(data fseek failed): Invalid argument
Segmentation fault

BUT, if I use 'webmin', I can alter passwords OK.

does anyone know: does 'webmin' uses a different tool that 'passwd' to alter
passwords ?

is there any reason why I shouldn't try re-installing 'passwd' with rpm ??

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/passwd
passwd-0.67-1

(I've just 'solved' a weired problem with Postfix by re-installing Postfix,
hence, I'm thinking I should do same with 'passwd')

[SLUG] RAID question

2003-09-09 Thread Brett

Greetings etc,

In a system I am building I have setup two hard disks in a RAID 1
configuration (which has worked well so far) but I would now like to
disable (possibly temporary, possibly permanently) the secondary hard
disk from the array (so the RAID array will be an array of one). I have
tried removing the secondary hdd from /etc/raidtab (and rebooting) but
this has no effect (lsraid -R -p also does not show the changes I made
to /etc/raidtab). I have also attempted to raidstop each array, but
the majority of them are in use at runtime, and thus I can't unmount
them.  Can anybody offer some pointers?

Additionally I will still need both hdd's in the machine as I will be
installing Gentoo on the secondary hdd, so simply removing the hdd is
not an option. I suppose I could simply format the drive from a boot
disk (and recreate the array when I want it back),but there has to be a
nicer solution than this?

Thanks in advance,
Brett

prob as it edits the /etc/passwd file itself and does not call up the 
executable passwd program.

If you are changing a passwd for normal user voytek then do that when 
logged in as that user and just type 'passwd'
i.e.
yoytek$ passwd

see if it segfaults then.

If you run authconfig from the command line, what does it tell you about the
way your system is authenticating users?

I doubt passwd is crashing, but it could be a pam module that's doing it.

You may wish to look into /etc/pam.d/passwd for any interesting pam modules,
too.

[SLUG] Installing a verion of xpdf later than my Debian stable version

2003-09-09 Thread Michael Lake
Hi all,

Debian stable contains xpdf-reader Version: 1.00-3 and that is what I 
have currently installed. I have just pulled down xpdf version 2.02 from 
foolabs.com and compiled it. It works fine but I have not yet done 'make 
install'.

Whats the procedure in Debian with regards to the packaging system when 
you install a more up to date version that isn't available in apt-get ? 
I can just remove the existing xpdf-reader but are there other options?

In this case xpdf is not needed for anything i.e. nothing depends on it 
so it's easy to remove.
If there were things that needed a pdf viewer that would be more 
troublesome. Certainly I gather doing an install over the top of an 
existing package would confuse the packaging system.

Mike
