3.3 rc1 has been built for rawhide and should work on f16 if you want to
try it now.

I recognize the syntaxes as providing boot options to the kernel.
The plan is to boot from a minimal CD and point it at a DVD iso.
At what point will I be able to provide the option?

I don't have any grub2 stuff that refers to it.

If grub2 is used,
will that affect the syntax for supplying the kickstart file?
If grub2 is used, will that affect the names

Also, from the perspective of the boot sequence,
what does it mean to have a /boot partition?
Until it's mounted, it's not called /boot .
By the time it is mounted, the kernel is already running.
Does it just mean that the partition with the
bootloader is not the same as one with the / directory?

Well, wouldn't you know. I had been editing /boot/grub/grub.conf and not
the new-fangled /boot/grub2/grub.cfg, so of course it wasn't working.

Ahem ...

I've fixed that, so fingers crossed.

I'd say that seems on the slow side, but there are several factors that
can affect it. For one thing, not all flash drives are created equal.
Even if they're supposed to work at USB2 speed, that's just the bus
speed of getting the data across the wire and doesn't really tell you
much. Cheaper drives are definitely slower than more expensive ones
which have larger internal buffers. Most commercial drives don't have
any published info on these speeds, but occasionally one sees
comparitive benchmarks being published (e.g. http://usbflashspeed.com/).

The other important factor is fragmentation. Even though flash drives
are theoretically random-access, the way flash memory works means that a
sparse distribution of blocks to be modified can make a large difference
to the effective write speed (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory#Limitations). This becomes
noticeable if you repeatedly create and delete randomly-sized large
files on the drive. In time the drive will become slower and slower
because of fragmentation, and it can sometimes make sense to copy the
entire contents, reformat the drive and copy the files back again in
order to "refresh" it. AFAIK there are filesystem designs which try to
minimize this effect, but I assume we're talking about VFAT here, as
it's the lowest common denominator for practical purposes.

I've only tried the "never" option on the boot line, and it definitely
didn't work, i.e. the setting stayed at [always]. I might try with
madvise to see if it makes a difference.

As a side note --- is it normal to have the write-to-USB-flash speed of
2.5 MiB/s (on average)?

I am supposedly using USB2.0 port, and have a 8 GB flash drive. Writing a file 
of 2.2 GB in size takes around 15 minutes to complete. Also that KDE progress-
bar thing is reporting the 2.5 MiB/s value (on average) which fits my 
calculation, but I was wondering if this is the expected performance or not.

I started using USB for GB-sized files only recently, after the DVDRW drive in 
my laptop died, so don't have much experience.

P.S. My machine was quite usable during the write, nothing hung or stalled. 
But then again I may have not actually had enough uptime to hit the "hugepage" 
bug. ;-)

After reading your previous post, I looked up the transhuge.txt doc and read 
it thoroughly. Echoing into the /sys/kernel/.../enabled did not work for me, 
but adding an option to the kernel command line did work.

I have chosen to set up the "madvise" state rather than the "never" state, so 
I added "transparent_hugepage=madvise" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line in 
/etc/default/grub, ran "grub2-mkconfig /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" to activate the 
change, and rebooted. After the reboot, the /sys/kernel/.../enabled file reads:

   always [madvise] never

instead of the previous

   [always] madvise never

I guess that means it works. :-)

Before that I tried to put the echo command into /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but that 
didn't work. Initially I thought that there is a race condition in systemd 
between executing the rc.local and mounting /sys for rw, but I didn't properly 
investigate what actually went wrong --- it was easier to add a boot 
parameter. Also, boot parameter is guaranteed to work from the very start, 
while the echo version would influence only apps that have been started after 
the echo itself, which is kind of klunky for my taste.

I haven't tried to write to USB since yesterday (I am just about to try now), 
but so far so good, and the kernel apparently acknowledges the "madvise" boot 
option.

Now I'll see how USB is going to work --- a 2.2 GB file is about to be 
written... ;-)

HTH, :-)

I spoke too soon. The performance improvement must have been due to me
having just rebooted. In fact neither the boot param nor attempting to
write to /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled have any effect.
The latter *always* shows THP to be enabled and won't allow it to be
overwritten, even as root.

Apparently kernel 3.3 will have a fix for this problem, but that's
expected to be around the end of March unless someone backports it.

If you are simply building a newer version of a package already
available in the repos, you could simply do

# yum-builddep

if not, then I simply grep through the configure script to get the

It appears to be just as you write.  This raises some further questions:
Is there any way to tell when a development library is installed on the
system?  Am I correct in assuming that if .so is in the library,
the development library is installed?  Is there any convenient way to
install all the *-devel packages matching libraries on the system, or do
I just have to install them one by one as links fail?

Sorry for the extremely late reply.  I have been away from my computer
for the last few weeks.

Thanks - jon

I can see how I can use your minus  tool to set up an account for your
self and store files. But I can't see how it can be used to see files
shared by someone else. Can you do that? If so , how?

Please don't advise people to do this.  If there's a page that
doesn't work with OpenJDK, we want to know.  If everyone is told
to install proprietary Java, the bugs will never get fixed.

MySQL is not working on PHP with Fedora 16

[Fedora Linux]

Hello

I have a web application but it is not working on my Fedora 16 with PHP,
for some reason it is unable to connect to the MySQL server, it returns the
error:

[Sun Jan 22 08:40:24 2012] [error] [client ::1] PHP Warning:
 mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) in /var/www/html/install2.php on line 22,
referer: http://localhost/install.php

Notice that the user/password is correct, the PHP is installed and working
and MySQL is up and running...

Even the socket is there

# ls -l /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
srwxrwxrwx. 1 mysql mysql 0 Jan 22 08:37 /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

What can be the problem? The application is okay, I am using it in a
production server and it is running in 2 other local computers (with
slackware) for testing purposes...

This is the first time that I can't connect to MySQL via PHP... I don't
know if it requires an extra configuration or there is a missing package
that I should install... the httpd log does not give more details...

Thanks for any help!

Is this a true statement as for Fedora 16 ? does cups look at
/usr/libexec/cups/filter ?


I don't have this in F16


 Instead of /usr/lib/cups/filter?


I do have this.

What confuses me is that there is no directory: /usr/libexec/cups 
on my machine. What does that imply?

Feedback: systemd poweroff fixfiles is it possible?

[Frank Murphy]

Looking for feedback

I havn't seen anything in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd

Google not much help.

but I would like
"fixfiles onboot"
to run just before poweroff both cli\gui

not sure how
"Requires=fixfiles"
"After="fixfiles onboot"
would work out.


[Unit]
Description=Power-Off
DefaultDependencies=no
Requires=shutdown.target umount.target final.target /usr/bin/fixfiles
After=shutdown.target umount.target final.target "fixfiles -q onboot"
.include /usr/lib/systemd/system/poweroff.service

Would use a crontab,
but not sure how
"@poweroff fixfiles onboot"
could be worked in, as not valid as a command

Might be better to use Oracle jre 7 rather than Sun jre 6 as the
latter is about to be obsoleted.
