That's not necessarily a reason to believe overheating isn't a problem.

Generally, the fans in the computer case form an airflow across things
that need it when the case is shut.  If the case is open, airflow takes
the easiest path, and hot items mightn't get enough of a breeze over
them for them to be adequately cooled.

You can get the same situation when airflow is blocked by obstacles in
the case (plug in cards, ribbon cables, etc.).

Though, this is usually only a problem with things that are on the
borderline of their heat tolerance.  Things with (most likely,
inadequate) passive heatsinks.

I've basically done what you're talking about doing on 3 machines, two used and 
one built from scratch with a new motherboard.  Never had any problems. 
However, the machines were all similar--IDE, 32-bit AMD CPUs, but different 
models and sockets, same RAM chips.  I used the same graphics card in the two 
used ones, and a new card in the new one, but the floppy drive, CD drive and 
burner, and, of course, hard drives were the same for all 3 as was the monitor. 
 All three booted right up.  Didn't have to reconfigure anything.  

Also, on my current 64-bit Athlon system, I'm on my third monitor--CRT, 4:3 LCD 
and Wide LCD--second graphic card, second CPU (first was single core, second 
dual) and never had to adjust or reconfigure anything after the changes were 
made.  Maybe, I'm just lucky. ;-)

Just go ahead and try.  The worse that will happen is it won't work and you'll 
have to do a clean install.

i386 or x86_64 tree?

[Robert Moskowitz]

How do I tell which update tree for Fedora 14 a system uses?

I have maintained a repo tree for i386 locally for some time.   I have 
always had 'older' equipment.

Well I just picked up an HP dc5000 and I noticed after the install, that 
the upload profile stated it was an 686 platform (Intel P4 3.2Ghz).  I 
see i686 rpms on the system and there are i686 rpms in both the i386 and 
x86_64 update trees.  So I need to know if I now need to pull down the 
x86_64 tree and point this new box to it instead of the i386 updates

I believe this would be the $basearch value I see in the yum .repo files...

Another benefit to sticking with anaconda would be upgrades -- how
would anaconda handle a disk layout that it couldn't parse because
unsupported partitioning/formatting was performed?

Okay, I played around with the system a bit, and still can't get LVM
on top of RAID. I first created the RAID devices, then tried to layer
LVM on top of them, but it says that there's no free space. I also
tried the other way around (leaving the default LVM layout created by
anaconda) and creating RAID devices, but this also results in "no free
space" messages.

Doesn't RAID get wrapped in LVM, much like disk partitions get wrapped in RAID?

If that is not the case, would you detail the steps I should follow in
anaconda (FC14, x86_64) to create a root (RAID5), /boot (RAID1), and
/home (RAID5) partitions on four disks with LVM?

Thanks,
Alex

What you say is true but is equally true if you retain the stateful
firewall at the heart of the NAT engine and eliminate the NAT.  The NAT
is not what's giving you this protection.  It's the stateful nature of
THAT particular NAT which is the same as as a linear stateful firewall.
No difference.  And other forms of NAT do not enjoy this.

I know of one university that employs an n-on-m NAT to protect itself
from address exhaustion due to the number of mobile WiFi enabled
devices.  If you don't authenticate, you don't get out through the
firewall and you don't consume one of their public addresses from
their /16 pool.  If you do authenticate, they map one of their public
addresses to your private address and it's a complete stateless 1:1
mapping of all ports.  The big advantage to them in this setup is that
they don't need to maintain a massive university wide dynamic state
table managing a mapping of 4 million private addresses * 65 thousand
possible ports to 65 thousand squared public addresses/port combinations
and the processing and memory requirements it would require.  It also
doesn't break a lot of the things that require NAT helpers (like ftp,
etc) that dynamic port and address NAT requires.  In that configuration,
the fact that you are on a private address is providing you with ZERO
security even though you are NAT'ed.

NAT, in and of itself, is not providing the security.  It's the state
engine at the heart of most (but not all) NAT devices and all stateful
firewalls.  It's not the NAT, it's the firewall.

See my follow-up message; basically, compiz doesn't catch the X beep (as
it shouldn't), so load the pcspkr module (it isn't loaded by default)
and you should get the PC speaker beep.

That module has pulseaudio catch the X beep and turn it into a sound
effect (out the sound card/speakers), similar to what metacity does.  If
you are running compiz instead of metacity, you would use that module to
get a sound file played instead of a PC speaker beep.

The real problem is that metacity takes the decision away from the user;
it is hard coded to catch the X beep itself, and you _can't_ have PC
speaker beeps with metacity, only sound effects.  There's a year-old bug
in the GNOME Bugzilla to revert that (especially since it makes a lot
more sense for pulseaudio to do it, not the window manager), but it has
been ignored by the metacity developer(s).

unfortunately, I don't have any sound device on this machine -- it's a
server motherboard.  There is a PC speaker, so I liked having that
beep give the alerts.  Seems strange that they would remove this basic
functionality.  I'll think about filling a bug report.

AFAIK there is no way to get the PC speaker to beep anymore in X; the
PulseAudio author decided nobody should use that anymore.  The best you

That only works in metacity. Does not work in Compiz.

Hmmm -- you may have to drop out of compiz into metacity, set this option, 
then switch it back. But it does work in compiz. I don't recall ever having 
to twiddle config changes manually. In CompizConfig I have "Gnome 
Compatibility" enabled -- that may be the trick to getting compiz to honor 
this config setting.


I have no CompizConfig on my machine. Where did you get yours?

This is incorrect for many implementations of NAT.

I refer in particular to Cisco IOS NAT, IOS 12.4(23) mainline on a 7206/NPE-G1, 
using NAT pools and overloading.  Incoming packets addressed to the outside 
interface that don't match the flows that the router knows about get dropped.  
So if I connect to your website from inside my network, you can't randomly 
initiate a connection back to my box (that's what the overloading, allowing 
multiple internal IP's onto a single 'inside global' (using Cisco terms) IP, 
prevents).  The only conduit through the NAT is using the specific 
source-address:source-port/destination-address:destination-port pair that the 
translation sets up.

If I have, say, 100 computers inside my network, and have 32 global addresses, 
and overload the dynamic translations onto three global addresses, you have no 
way of getting to the inside addresses except through the translations set up 
during the outgoing flow initiation.  You have to jump through hoops to get 
things like H.323 to work (Cisco at least has support for connection tracking 
so the packets, mostly UDP, can get back to where they need to go).  No ACL's 
necessary to create this behavior, at least with Cisco IOS NAT.

The same (or similar) is true for Smoothwall, at least, naming one firewall 
appliance/distribution that I use and that uses the Linux kernel.  Tested that 
one; you have to configure zone bridging and port forwarding to get the 
behavior you mention.

When you are right you are right. I got the link wrong. But you are
wrong. control-center-extra is not part of F14. According to Raul the
developers removed it.

So, my numsubordinates.db4 file has been wiped out apparently by db2index, and 
I cannot get it back.  I've updated the bug with this information.

Thanks everyone for their help.  Hopefully we can figure this out soon.

Ok, I found /etc/compizconfig/config. Gnome integratiion is set to truew

Here's the versions that I could get:

389-ds-base: 1.2.2
389-admin: 1.1.8
idm-console-framework: 1.1.3

Everything was (I assume) installed at once when I did the initial 
installation following the instructions I found at 
_http://www.linuxmail.info/389-directory-server-setup-howto-centos-5/_.
I suggest upgrading to the latest 1.2.7 if only to make it easier to 
support.


Lastly, nothing is in the directory server access log around 10:41:25. 
 Just that one line that said "GET /admin-serv/authenticate HTTP/1.0"

That's the admin server log - the directory server access log is in

So it just stopped working, with no explanation, and nothing has changed?
Should I upgrade?  Is there a bug that's fixed in a newer version that

This error message is somewhat misleading - it is not actually 
attempting a TLS connection unless you have configured it to use TLS.


What's in the directory server access log on or around [Wed Jan 05

If the directory server connection fails, it will fail to lookup/bind 
too.


The /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/access log (which only got written to

You managed to say all that without explaining clearly what your project
actually is, which might limit the number of people who respond.

There is already a config file (not always defined)
/etc/sysconfig/autofsck
part of package
initscripts.i686   9.20.1-1.fc14@anaconda-InstallationRepo-201010031452.i386
according to docs
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-9.20.1/sysconfig.txt

Because the name "autofsck" does not cover other cases like "forcefsck" etc,
it would be better to set up a general/common fsck config file e.g.
/etc/sysconfig/fsck
instead (it would consolidate fsck-related config environment) and be a part of
the initscripts package, where it belongs.

Some init scripts would need to be modified as well.

Twice now, I have changed motherboards (and CPUs) in a system by
installing most of the old system's peripherals on a new motherboard
(same CPU architecture, or at least a compatible one [x86->x86_64]).

Both times the old system booted.  Most of the differences were detected
at boot time and the appropriate modules were either available, or
easily configured after the system booted.  (Yes, both systems had PATA
IDE disks.)  I think I was lucky that the disk system was essentially
the same before and after (device names didn't change), and today, once
you get the boot device right, the rest of the filesystem is usually
mounted based on either UUIDs or partition labels.

Once I had to figure out which Ethernet driver to use for the new
motherboard, but that was fairly easy (it can be pain if your systems
needs to be re-configured, but you have no net access to downloads
changes with).  There are always some things that need re-configuration
(sensors, etc), but, my systems booted and were useable enough to
reconfigure on the fly.

If your system changes are drastic enough (CPU architecture changes,
video changes, things like that), you may have more problems, but I've
been surprised at how much is decided "on-the-fly" by the kernel when it
boots.

I will consider this. Right now I think I might first try plugging
these drives into the "new" box and see what happens. I can always
put things back and approach it differently if that doesn't look
encouraging.

Thanks.

I'm asking help for my project - If you're interested get contacted with me

[Zoltan Hoppar]

Hi Guys,

Currently I see my project well and running - thanks to Pitivi (and
their debuggers, devs) - but I would like to have some help from our
Fedora community. I have an small audioclip what has been released by
an BR musician namely Carlos Amoyan (huge thanks), and received
permission from NASA itself (Goddard Space Center) to use their videos
to our AD marketing clip. I have my project stalled at in the middle
of planning, because of Pitivi wasn't so stable to make the cuts, and
the rendering. Right now I would like to finish our first moveclip
dedicated for Fedora, and let it see to be born. What I need to be
done? Well, I need some resources that I could cut into this - Like
inserts with about our beloved OS (in few minutes), and community
presentation talks, different recorded desktops, 3D cube, menu parts.
and our projects (or their logos) and that would like to be used as
clipartto present the diversity of Fedora. The format must be
THEORA/OGG 720x576 with 25 fps / 2 channel 44,1k audio.

So, if you're interested please get contacted me, and I put together
to FOSDEM if everything goes well.

Cheers,

Zoltan

Processing.org package

[Konstantin Svist]

For some reason I couldn't find a package for Processing in Fedora repos 
(and in RPMFusion)..
How come it's not there?

The only RPMs I see (via rpm.pbone.net) are an older version for 
OpenSuSE and just one current version for PCLinuxOS

Thanks

I decided to add the env vars in /etc/sysconfig/network...

# fsck values are provided here so they are picked up by /etc/rc.sysinit
# when the system boots up.
# This way I don't have to modify the rc.sysinit script to get fsck
# to use parallelism.
FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL=1
FSCK_MAX_INST=0

Not the most elegant of solutions, but this way I don't have to worry about
conflicts with any future updates to rc.sysinit.

I'm also going to open a ticket with redhat to suggest a more elegant
solution

Something like adding this line to rc.sysinit before running fsck...

[ -f /etc/fsckenv ] && . /etc/fsckenv

Similar to how rc.sysinit allows fsck command line options in /fsckoptions

I guess because he didn't like the PC speaker and felt he knows best
about what everybody should use.

This thread caused me to go look again to see if anything had changed.
There's a long ticket in the Ubuntu tracker about it, and it seems that
if you switch to the compiz window manager (enable Desktop Effects) and
load the pcspkr module, you can get the traditional beep back.

However, I'm getting a corrupted display with that (and don't have time
to diagnose it), so it doesn't help me much.

Re: [389-users] Cannot login as cn=Directory Manager

[harry . devine]

I tried to upgrade, but yum tells me that there are no packages marked for 
update.  I did see that I had the dirsrv.repo file renamed so it wouldn't 
be used, so I renamed it back and tried the "yum upgrade" again, and got 
the same thing.  The relevant contents of my dirsrv.repo file are:

[dirsrv]
name=389 Directory Server - 6 - $basearch
baseurl=http://port389.org/yum/dirsrv/fedora/6/$basearch/RPMS

I assume this repo isn't correct?  I think I downloaded it from that 
CentOS link I included in my last email.

Harry

So, you have to modify startup scripts and set it there before fsck call.

# grep -ir fsck /etc

/etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs

You might try getting the Fedora-14-x86_64-netinst.iso  (or the i686 one) image
instead of the install dvd and do a network install. Assuming that you don't
have to repeat the install, that could save you from downloading a lot of stuff
that you won't actually install on your system.

I looked at Joomla for a large commercial type application for a not-for-profit 
and I would recommend against it for the purpose you want to use it for.  It is 
very powerful but it appears complicated for setup (they even offer pay-for 
services to setup your site.)

You might want to look at ppBBS to see if it will meet your needs.  Most forum 
sites use it.

Okay, I think it's working properly now. I think it was a combination
of reinstalling firefox and realizing that I had to logout of gmail
then back in for it to display properly that made it all work again.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet but it's supposedly FOSS, I'm not

Definitely take a look at either Drupal or Joomla.  Both are
full-featured systems; Drupal has a huge number of add-on packages and
is eminently extensible, while Joomla purports to be easier to get
started.  Both are trending toward each other in these areas as they
evolved.

I selected Drupal, and had a full site configured and running with my
selected add-ins in less than an hour.  Because of this, I've not worked
with Joomla.

Anyone who *knows* the packages will recognize the base system by the
default layout; extensive customization does require work.

This error message is somewhat misleading - it is not actually 
attempting a TLS connection unless you have configured it to use TLS.


What's in the directory server access log on or around [Wed Jan 05 
10:41:25 2011] ?
[Wed Jan 05 10:41:25 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] user 
cn=Directory Manager not found: /admin-serv/authenticate
If the directory server connection fails, it will fail to lookup/bind 
too.


The /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/access log (which only got written to 
AFTER I closed 389-console) shows:
127.0.0.1 - cn=Directory Manager [05/Jan/2011:10:40:45 -0500] "GET 
/admin-serv/authenticate HTTP/1.0" 401 466

Looks like a problem with the numSubordinates index - it looks like it 
is only indexed for presence - try adding an equality index for 
numSubordinates and reindex.

I don't know when or why this changed - looks like a regression.

Re: [389-users] Cannot login as cn=Directory Manager

[harry . devine]

Yep, it appears to just have stopped working.  I know that I had some 
similar issues back in October when I first installed it, but I turned off 
the firewall on this PC and all was good.  I verified that I still have 
the firewall off.  I'm running this on an old laptop that we have here at 
work which is running CentOS 5.4, and isn't connected to the network at 
all.  Just for evaluation and familiarization purposes at this point.

Here's the versions that I could get:
389-console: 1.1.3
389-ds-base: 1.2.2
389-admin: 1.1.8
idm-console-framework: 1.1.3
389-adminutil: 1.1.8

Everything was (I assume) installed at once when I did the initial 
installation following the instructions I found at 
http://www.linuxmail.info/389-directory-server-setup-howto-centos-5/.

Lastly, nothing is in the directory server access log around 10:41:25. 
Just that one line that said "GET /admin-serv/authenticate HTTP/1.0" at 
10:45:45.

Thanks!

AFAIK there is no way to get the PC speaker to beep anymore in X; the
PulseAudio author decided nobody should use that anymore.  The best you
can do is enable the alert sound effect, assuming you have a sound
device in the computer and speakers connected.

Okay, something is wrong here.  These results appear correct:

[r...@earth slapd-cora]# ldapsearch -Z -x -b "dc=cora,dc=nwra,dc=com" -s one 
numSubordinates

numSubordinates: 21

But this is wrong:

'numSubordinates>=1' numSubordinates
# extended LDIF
#

This works:
ldapsearch -Z -x -b "dc=cora,dc=nwra,dc=com" -s one 'numSubordinates>0' 
numSubordinates
# numResponses: 9
# numEntries: 8

I also tried >=2 through >=4 but none returned auto.master.  >=22 successfully

Both are similar, came to me used, the "new" one will be a later HP,
than this Dell, both use DDR2 memory, have gigabit Ethernet, and use
SATA drives. I always set them to boot to a command line and then
start XFCE.

I have a couple of days to consider what I will try but value
greatly the information I get on this list.

Thanks for the help.

 I'm assuming you mean in the directory browser. First step would be to run 
 the
 console using 389-console -D 9 -f console.log then post the console.log 
 (first
 obscure any sensitive information). Also check the directory server access

Try doing the ldapsearch you used to test, but add numSubordinates to 
the list of attributes to return:

ldapsearch  "big filter with (numSubordinates>=1) clause removed" \*

This error message is somewhat misleading - it is not actually 
attempting a TLS connection unless you have configured it to use TLS.


What's in the directory server access log on or around [Wed Jan 05 
10:41:25 2011] ?
[Wed Jan 05 10:41:25 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] user 
cn=Directory Manager not found: /admin-serv/authenticate

If the directory server connection fails, it will fail to lookup/bind too.


The /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/access log (which only got written to 
AFTER I closed 389-console) shows:
127.0.0.1 - cn=Directory Manager [05/Jan/2011:10:40:45 -0500] "GET

terminal bell pc speaker

[Mike Zingale]

Hi, I just installed Fedora 14 on my machine.  There is no beep
through the pc speaker from terminal events.  This worked previously
in Fedora 10 on this machine.  I tried loading the pcspkr module, but
that did not fix the problem.  Any ideas on how to get the terminal
bell/pc speaker working?

Thanks

Did you only uninstall those packages or did some dependencies get pulled
in?

You could try "yum reinstall firefox" to see if that helps.

This actually works surprisingly often. The most likely problem
would come if there is some hardware that needs a driver that
isn't included in the existing initramfs image under /boot.

This appears to be the search that gets the contents of the 
dc=cora,dc=nwra,dc=com directory that are themselves "folders":

[04/Jan/2011:16:56:37 -0700] conn=81117 op=34 SRCH 
base="dc=cora,dc=nwra,dc=com" scope=1 
filter="(|(&(numSubordinates=*)(numSubordinates>=1)(|(objectClass=*)(objectClass=ldapsubentry)))(objectClass=organization)(objectClass=organizationalUnit)(objectClass=netscapeServer)(objectClass=netscapeResource)(objectClass=domain))"
 
attrs="objectClass numSubordinates ref aci"
[04/Jan/2011:16:56:37 -0700] conn=81117 op=34 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=6 
etime=0 notes=U

But it does not return auto.master or auto.nfs (which I see now also does not 
show up in the folder list).

Now, there's nothing different between say auto.home and auto.nfs at the top 
level:

# auto.home, cora.nwra.com
dn: ou=auto.home,dc=cora,dc=nwra,dc=com
ou: auto.home
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap

# auto.nfs, cora.nwra.com
dn: ou=auto.nfs,dc=cora,dc=nwra,dc=com
ou: auto.nfs
objectClass: top
objectClass: automountMap

Entries have the same properties as well.

# ftp, auto.home, cora.nwra.com
dn: cn=ftp,ou=auto.home,dc=cora,dc=nwra,dc=com
objectClass: automount
objectClass: top
cn: ftp
automountInformation: hawk:/export/ftp

# local, auto.nfs, cora.nwra.com
dn: cn=local,ou=auto.nfs,dc=cora,dc=nwra,dc=com
objectClass: automount
objectClass: top
cn: local
automountInformation: earth:/export/local


If I remove the (numSubordinates>=1) clause then I get all the entries.  It 
appears that the server isn't calculating that value correctly.  Is there a 
way to check/repair?

How do I tell what the other versions are?  I haven't upgraded or

Not a heat issue. The case can't even close with the power supply I
am using, dust has been vacuumed out, shut down period is ~8 hours
so it's cool by then.

I don't want to chance having a less than perfect install so I guess
it means install from the DVD, burn the needed time on my satellite
ISP connection and update, then transfer files. I will simply add
the new one to the network and do what is necessary to get what I want.

My ISP [Wildblue] usage is limited to 17 gigs/30 days so that's
always a concern and I suppose the reason for my original question.

Thanks Terry and Peter.

Okay, the apple.com trailers are working properly now, but after
removing totem, totem-nautilus and totem-mozplugin, there appears to
be some functionality missing from firefox.

For example, gmail starts in "basic HTML" mode, like it doesn't have
support for more advanced javascript functionality, perhaps?

Did I uninstall a package that I should have?

I couldn't find a clue to what might be wrong. When run from the

Downgrading also has the same problem, so its definitely a local issue.

I tried using conky with WindowMaker on this same machine, and it works
perfectly. This led me to conclude it could be some window manager
(xfwm4) setting. So I tried with compositing turned off but no luck
there either. Do you have any ideas to what could be the culprit here?

Yes, absolutely - there are also other benefits to sticking with what anaconda
can directly configure, e.g. the ability to script the entire setup via
kickstart (OK you could do some fancy %pre scripting but the raid directive is
generally easier to use).

Agreed. It's one of those things that I'd come across that has been useful on
rare occasions but that a lot of users don't even realise is possible since it's
not supported by the more familiar tools.

Bryn.

This is a hard question to answer without a lot of details - in short,
the answer is always "it depends".

But presuming your old and new computer can interface to the same type
of harddrives - for instance most modern computers have both SATA and
PATA on the mobo. So if your old computer is PATA and new computer SATA,
simply take the hard-drive out of the old computer and install it in the
new one. Do this AFTER you have installed an OS and otherwise got your
new system ready. After this, it's a simply matter of copying files from
the old to the new drive. Once done, you can disconnect the old drive
fully and simply use the new system.

If the two computers are 100% compatible in hardware - cpu, ram, cards
etc. an option is to simply install the old drive in the new machine and
boot. But that is rarely possible. Also, your old computer may not be
the newest OS and by trying to use old releases you may not find it very
easy to use your newer hardware.  So it's better to simply install F14
on the new box and transfer your /home files over after the fact. It's a
bit of work, yes - but it's worth it.

If your old hdd has a separate partition/volume for /home you can dd it
over instead of copying it. The danger here is, that your new system may
want different security labels and you may take advantage of the
situation and want to clean things up a bit; dd takes everything dirt
and good stuff alike. But dd sure makes moving from one hdd to another
easy.

If the first assumption is wrong - that you cannot install the old hdd
in the new box, you can do one of the following: use the old computer
networked to the new one, and transfer files that way or get an external
enclosure that's compatible with your old drive, and mount the drive via
USB to your computer. This is rather slow but will work.

Sounds like a heat issue? Keep the box turned off for longer periods and
see if it solves anything. Remember, you can also take the hdd out and
install it elsewhere and bypass that problem all together.

If OO freezes then possibly LO will also freeze. You'd be better off

Configuring a network interface without the associated static route

[W. Michael Petullo]

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to configure a network
interface using /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts without creating the
corresponding static route. The reason I want to do this is that I am
setting up a proxy ARP scenario similar to the one documented in [1].

What I want to avoid is creating the route below:

$ ifup eth0
$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface
[...]
192.168.0.0 *   255.255.255.0   U 0  00 eth0
[...]

I want to create all static routes associated with eth0 by setting
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0.

I know how to do this all by hand (i.e., using "ip route del" to delete
the route), but I'd like to do it using Fedora's network configuration
scripts.

Need to know more about the hardware.  Present and new.
A fly by the seat of the pants answer would be as long as there is a
disk controller for the type of disk in the old machine (pata. sata,
sas, scsi) the disks should transfer.  I wouldn't expect an X display to
work though I would boot into init 3 or single user mode first from
those disks.

Computer transplant -

[Bob Goodwin]

This computer has developed problems and I have elected to replace
it with another used computer which FedEx should deliver in a few
days. I know I can transfer file from one to the other but is there
any hope I could simply install these hard drives and boot from
them. That would save me the effort of a lot of configuration.

I suspect not but wanted to ask before doing anything else.

I hesitate to shut this computer off, It comes on sounding like a
jet engine in my quiet room, fans running full bore and does not
POST. I changed the power supply, it ran ok for a week or more, I
figured I had it fixed until the problem returned with a vengeance.
I can get it to run by pulling off a fan plug and reinserting it
although that fan does not appear to be the problem. Too much,
simpler to buy another used box.

Thanks.

Not sure. Looks like all of your cache settings are the default values.
I suppose it could be a memory leak.
I suggest upgrading to 389 1.2.7.5 available from EPEL. Even if that
does not solve your problem, it will be much easier to support.

Thanks for the education!

IIRC, the original question had to do with a new install of F14, in
which case Anaconda is probably the tool the OP is expecting to use.  I
understand that doing what you describe would require taking care of
building the RAID outside of the install process, either with a live CD
or in the installer's shell on VC2 (if the tools are even available
there).

I also agree that it's unnecessarily fiddly if you don't know that you
need to handle it that way.  I prefer to work with the tools provided
when I can, rather than fight them.

Strings comparison are built with "==" (posix is "=", both works),
integers compare with "-eq". Also, the test command ( or [ ) is

In the context of a setting things up during a Fedora installation this is
correct but it's important to realise that this is just how Anaconda treats
software RAID - it doesn't expose the full set of functionality that the kernel
and mdadm provide.

MD itself does not restrict you to using partitions (rather than whole disks) to
assemble arrays unless using kernel based auto-detect where array members must
be primary MSDOS partitions with a partition type of 0xfd. This is no longer the
default on Fedora.

This is actually how I tend to do it (on workstations and servers using MD) but
the Linux MD RAID stack has supported partitionable array devices for years (see
the mdadm man page option -a/--auto).

The functionality isn't as widely used as the familiar non-partitionable devices

You used to need to set them up manually (although since 2.6.28 all MD devices
are partitionable afaik), e.g:

Get some test devices:
# for i in {0..3}; do
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/img$i bs=1M count=64;
  losetup /dev/loop$i /tmp/img$i;
done

Create an array and partition it
# mdadm -C /dev/md3 --auto=mdp -l5 -n4 /dev/loop{0..3}
# fdisk /dev/md3

Check for partition devices
# ls /dev/md3*
/dev/md3
/dev/md3p1
/dev/md3p2
# grep md3 /proc/partitions
   93 196416 md3
 2590  15998 md3p1
 2591 180416 md3p2

I've seldom actually used this in practice as it's typically more fiddly than
the non-partitioned equivalent but there are situations where it can be useful
(generally when I need to simulate some external storage that "must" be
partitioned using Linux MD devices).

Regards,
Bryn.

Dell Inspiron 1545 digital mic array not picking up

[Temlakos]

I have Fedora 14 installed on a Dell Inspiron 1545, with the integrated 
webcam and digital microphone array.

The camera picks up fine and runs well with vlc. But from the 
microphones--silence.

I am also using KDE. I've looked in KMix and Phonon. Not a word about 
those microphones.

The laptop does have a 3.5-mm external mic jack. Before I go out and get 
a microphone (or a combination headset), should I expect that external 
jack to work?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think so.  For Anaconda (the installer), a software RAID device
is a collection of partitions, one per disk.  You can't create the RAID
device unless you already have partitions on the disks designated as
RAID.

Once you have a RAID device, you treat that like a partition on a single
disk--create a filesystem or a LVM physical volume on it.  It might be
the case that you can partition a software RAID device, but I haven't
tried that and it doesn't sound right to me.  Instead I made a RAID
device for each "partition" that I wanted.

Right, but I understood your question as whether a RAID device can
contain partitions.  That's what I don't know, but I don't think so.

It depends on your needs.  It's much easier to reallocate space among
filesystems in LVM than it is if each filesystem is on a separate
partition.  Do you need that capability?  (I have found it handy on
occasion, even for workstations.)

It doesn't affect the array, because the array is at a lower level.
There can be issues with recovering damaged LVMs because the filesystems
on logical volumes need not be contiguous, but that's independent of
whether they are built on arrays or not.

Gloobus setup

[Zoltan Hoppar]

Hi guys,

I have installed the nice gloobus preview, but I couldn't know why
cant use it in system... I red that needs an patched Nautilus, but as
I saw it works from terminal - so is it possible to have some quick
keybinding workaround without this patch?

Cheers,

Zoltan

LVM is a form of storage virtualization.

Pros and cons of it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_virtualization

Another source:
http://www.markus-gattol.name/ws/lvm.html
...
Let us start with what features are provided by LVM:
...
Stripe whole or parts of LVs across multiple PVs, in a fashion similar to RAID 
0.
Mirror whole or parts of LVs, in a fashion similar to RAID 1.
...
And now something that does not work with LVM:
LVM does not provide parity-based redundancy across LVs as with RAID 4, RAID 5
or RAID 6. This functionality is instead provided by Linux metadisks, Hardware
RAID arrays or LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) mounted from some SAN, which can be
used as LVM PVs.
...

fdupes looks for files with identical contents, not with identical names.

Not what the OP asked for (maybe what he needs? :-)

I haven't used it yet, but fdupes is probably what you want (yum install 
fdupes).

You may benefit from looking at links like these:

HTML specifications:

A more tutorial-based approach to understanding HTML:
http://www.htmlhelp.com/

I'd specifically advise against sites like W3Schools, as they teach
things wrongly.  And a newcomer isn't going to spot that.
