[389-users] EL5 Install instructions broken?

2012-02-28 Thread Michael Gettes
Hi All,

I am following the instructions on http://port389.org/wiki/Download for EL5
(towards the bottom) and it would appear the URLs are bad.  There appears
to be no port389.org/yum/blah.  I need to use EL5 - going to EL6 not yet an
option.  Has anyone gotten this to work?  Pointers appreciated.

# yum install 389-ds
Loaded plugins: katello, product-id, rhnplugin, security,
subscription-manager
Updating certificate-based repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity
http://port389.org/yum/dirsrv/fedora/6/x86_64/RPMS/repodata/repomd.xml:

Make sure you have appropriate server w.x.y.z lines in your chrony.conf 
file (where ever it is, default /etc/chrony.conf) and

make sure your firewall allows NTP.

THis is what is inside the chrony.conf file:


server 0.fedora.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.fedora.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.fedora.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 3.fedora.pool.ntp.org iburst


Firewall configuration does not show any ntpd server. Do I need to add it 
manually ?




 I also don't understand why you

didn't just stick with ntpd.


My understanding was that ntpd was depreciated!

Kevin




I understand that but ntpd (and possibly chrony) had a limit as to how far out 
of sync your system could get before it would not try
to sync with the ntp servers, hence you had to set the date/time manually first 
to a time within a minute or so and then start the
daemon and it would sync up.


Originally there was one hour difference.
Now there are 1 minute.

You can use rdate...

install rdate with yum or whatever...

then as root

rdate time.mit.edu

rdate: timeout for time.mit.edu
rdate: timeout for 0.fedora.pool.ntp.org

With NTP, there was the ntpdate command that would automatically do that
for you (automatically force in the current time with ntpdate, no matter
how far off it was, then use ntp to keep the clock in sync).  I'd expect
chrony to do something similar, the need would be the same.

I can't recall ever having to do any firewall gymnastics with NTP, it's
an outgoing connection, and I didn't restrict outgoing connections.  If
you'd gone bonkers restricting everything without due care, you may have
isolated yourself.

There's every chance that there's some stale addresses being doled out
for time servers that don't run anymore.  You could look at the pool
website, and try other servers:  http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/  I know
that I've, certainly, come across that problem in the past.

2012-02-28 Thread Genes MailLists


  Comment: ntpd is not deprecated - fedora decided to use chrony as it
is supposed to handle situations like a mobile laptop where you're not
permanently connected to the net.

ntpd is still the benchmark time management tool.

However, if you're using a laptop you may prefer chrony.

 What version of Fedora are you on?

 Sorry, F16.

 Don
So what does /etc/sysconfig/sshd show you and what does a  systemctl status 
sshd-keygen.service  show you?  If that service isn't
active you can activate it with systemctl enable sshd-keygen.service and then 
(maybe after a reboot) the keys should be gen'd for you.

https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/307

In order to test htmladmin from the command line:
You must first install 389-admin and run setup-ds-admin.pl to set up a 
DS and admin server.


Next, build adminserver from source with full debug symbols (i.e. use 
CFLAGS=-g ... not CFLAGS=-O2 -g   I usually do something like this:


mkdir built ; cd built ; CFLAGS=-g /path/to/adminsource/configure 
--with-fhs --enable-debug  ; make


Next, take a look at the source - there is a tests directory.  In this 
directory is a file called setup.sh.  Edit this file to reflect your 
environment.  You can also control:

which cgis to run
whether to use gdb or valgrind

from the built directory above, run setup.sh like this:

/path/to/adminsource/tests/setup.sh /path/to/adminsource/tests

Can't install on Hardware SATA RAID10 on startech.com ICPSATA4R1

2012-02-28 Thread Gary Stainburn
Hi folks.

Having been badly burned again with software RAID I've opted for a hardware 
RAID controller, buying the one above.

However, I cannot install Fedora. I've tried 14 and 16.  Both installs see the 
hardware RAID 

http://www1.ringways.co.uk/RAID_detected.jpeg

but when I select it and try install the system crashes.

http://www1.ringways.co.uk/RAID_debug.jpeg

I've installed the controller, 4x500GB drives and configured RAID10 through 
the controller's BIOS before booting from the Fedora DVD. 

Any ideas what I can do next?

The card you mention (its PCISATA... not ICPSATA) is an SI3114. Thats a
generic SATA controller with some BIOS boot support for software RAID.

 However, I cannot install Fedora. I've tried 14 and 16.  Both installs see 
 the 
 hardware RAID 

They say firmware - so they've noticed it appears to a BIOS RAID
format, but then it fails. Probably the format is similar but not the
same as a supported BIOS RAID device.

Either way it'll use the software RAID stack even if you get it working.

If the software RAID is proving unreliable though you need to debug the
*real* underlying problem given that code is very reliable on a lot of
boxes.

F16 64, read multimedia format: RPMFusion Livna / FedoraUnity

2012-02-28 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby

Hi all,

In order to be able to play mp3, DivX, Wmv,... I searched and found 
http://fedoraunity.org/solved/post-install-solutions/yum-config/


So:

rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release.rpm
rpm -Uvh 
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh 
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm


I was on a hurry, so I just made it, but:
- Is FedoraUnity a famous source of information for Fedora?
- Are RPMFusion and Livna good enough 3rd party rpm providers?
I'm not up to date yet about all Fedora tips and tricks...

Thanks for your help.

Just out of curiosity, would switching to a wireless router that is
compatible with the air card, such as the Cradlepoint MBR900 be a viable
option?

I have never tried using a USB modem under linux, but I have used my phone
as a modem before.  Every time I have done this it has been as simple as
setting up the modem dialer (KPPP) to dial #777 using the USB modem (phone)
as a modem.  I haven't tried with my most recent phone though.

Yes to all your questions, although I should add livna is not
maintained anymore. And the single package on livna (libdvdcss) is
available from Remi's repo: http://rpms.famillecollet.com/.

In the past I have used firefox builds from this repo without any problems.

Alternative to a Pogoplug

2012-02-28 Thread Robert Moskowitz
A friend has pointed me to the Pogoplug which right now can be purchased 
quite cheaply:


e.g.:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/200710735289?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649


But you have to be careful because:

That's what was advertised (the pro), and box (sealed) was labeled 
Pogo-P21, which should have been the dual core model, but the device was 
labeled Pogo-E02, which is this one:


http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray

The labeling mess seems to be as a result of them liquidating the 
pre-series 4 models and stuffing them into whatever boxes they have.


There seems to be challenges with Fedora support for these devices?  
Plus it is also clear that you might not get what you paid for.  Sooo


I am looking for a cheap, low power platform with ethernet and 4 USB 
ports (I would even run my system drive off of USB) with 1Gb memory so I 
can load a current FC on it.  Duo core would be valuable.  I have been 
burned with this Lenovo not having duo core...


Any recommendations?

Re: startx fails with new kernel

2012-02-28 Thread Patrick Dupre


Hello Marko,

Congratulations, I worked exactly like you said.
Thank again.



On Friday 24 February 2012 22:55:09 Patrick Dupre wrote:
(2) Run mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup. This will rename
the xorg.conf file (if you have it), and let X run with default
configuration (i.e. without an xorg.conf file) after a reboot.



===

This is probably were my problem is.
I removed the /etc/X11/xorg.conf because if it is here I can never
start my graphic mode with the rigth resolution. So I use
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d with the following files:

00-nvidia.conf  00-system-setup-keyboard.conf  40-monitor.conf
50-screen.conf (see attached file)

How is is connectred to nouveau and nvdia?


Well, obviously, you want to (re)move these files as well. The idea of removing 
xorg.conf is to start with a clean configuration. You want to remove any and 
all changes you have made to xorg.conf and xorg.conf.d/ directory. 
Delete/rename the xorg.conf file, and make sure that the directory xorg.conf.d/ 
is empty.


Once we fix the loading of the proper driver, we can re-add the configuration in 
order to fix your resolution problems. Also, I could bet that your resolution 
will work out-of-the-box, once the nvidia or nouveau driver is properly in 
place.


Currently, you have nouveau loading, and the 00-nvidia.conf file is making it 
fail (remember, never both drivers at the same time!). Your system then falls 
back to the default generic vesa driver, which doesn't support resolutions 
beyond 1024x768. That is why your resolution doesn't work properly.


So, remove the xorg.conf and empty the xorg.conf.d, and then do all the steps 
as I explained in the previous e-mail.



For now I have:
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-27.20110720gitb806e3f.fc16.x86_64
and

akmod-nvidia-290.10-1.fc16.4.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-3.2.7-1.fc16.x86_64-290.10-1.fc16.15.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-290.10-1.fc16.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-3.2.3-2.fc16.x86_64-290.10-1.fc16.12.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-3.2.6-3.fc16.x86_64-290.10-1.fc16.14.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-290.10-1.fc16.x86_64
nvidia-xconfig-1.0-11.fc16.x86_64

Should I remove one of them?


Ok, it would be best to do a

  yum remove akmod-nvidia kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia nvidia-xconfig

We will re-add these as necessary later. Remember, remove *everything* nvidia-
related. All rpm packages and any configuration files. You want to start with a 
clean, default Fedora configuration for X.



After we will have clarify this point, I will eventually go into your
procedure. But my understanding is that I should start nouveau since there
is no xorg.conf, but when I build such a file, then the graphics is
wrong!!


The nouveau driver, if present on your system, will be loaded by the *kernel*, 
during boot procedure, long before xorg.conf is looked at. The xorg.conf file 
has nothing to do with loading nouveau.


If instead you want to use nvidia driver (and you do), then nouveau would be 
removed, the kernel would boot with the generic vesa driver, then it would 
read  the (nvidia-created) xorg.conf, and then load the nvidia driver when X 
gets started.


That is how it works. Nouveau and nvidia drivers work quite differently, get 
loaded at different times, one doesn't need an xorg.conf and the other does 
need it, etc.


So again, please --- if you want to fix your problem, you need to remove any 
and all traces of nvidia software from your system, remove any custom X 
configuration files, perform a yum update, reboot into the latest kernel, do a 
yum install akmod-nvidia, and reboot into the same kernel again.


That should be enough to make your graphics work properly. If it still doesn't 
work, send us the /var/log/xorg.0.log so that we can see what else is failing.


HTH, :-)
Marko

Fedora uses systemd for startup/shutdown functions.  systemd has a set
of special targets available for compatibility with the original

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.special.html

The poweroff.target is probably what you're looking for.  You can

Unless somebody broke ntp that last is in no way required. It has never been

UTC.

But you have to be careful because:

That's what was advertised (the pro), and box (sealed) was labeled
Pogo-P21, which should have been the dual core model, but the device was
labeled Pogo-E02, which is this one:

http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray

The labeling mess seems to be as a result of them liquidating the
pre-series 4 models and stuffing them into whatever boxes they have.

There seems to be challenges with Fedora support for these devices?
Plus it is also clear that you might not get what you paid for.  Sooo

I am looking for a cheap, low power platform with ethernet and 4 USB
ports (I would even run my system drive off of USB) with 1Gb memory so I
can load a current FC on it.  Duo core would be valuable.  I have been
burned with this Lenovo not having duo core...

Any recommendations?

have you looked at Raspberry Pi ? Not sure it has 4 usb ports, but
powered USB hubs aren't expensive.


Wow.  This is interesting, but...

Big announcement tomorrow.  Perhaps their shipping announcement?

It is just a board, I would have to build a system around it.  Will 
watch for systems using it in the future, though.

Pricey.  The cheapest is $85 and it seems to be just the system with no

when yum distro-sync downgrades a package, it says Installing, not Downgrading

2012-02-28 Thread Andre Robatino
When yum distro-sync updates some packages and downgrades others, during the
transaction it says Updating  : for the updated packages, but Installing  :
for the downgraded ones. Is there a reason for that? I would only expect to see
Installing  : for a newly installed package.

(I considered posting this on the test list, since distro-sync is more commonly
used there, but it's not exclusive to test releases.)

pm-powersave true not running /etc/pm/power.d/00script

2012-02-28 Thread Pedro Francisco
Hi!
Running su -c 'pm-powersave true' (or false) on Fedora 16 seems not
to run /etc/pm/power.d/00script , which according to the man page
seems it is expected to.

00script is marked executable.


Any ideas why it is not running? /var/log/pm-powersave.log is a empty file.

Running /etc/pm/power.d/00script manually works .

Probably just a cosmetic thing because technically a downgrade is just
removal and installation of the older version as a new package.  File a
bug report.

Portreserve on F16

since portreserve is constantly failing on my F16 systems, and based upon older

Ask yourself

1.  Why were you using it?

2.  Are you affected by its failure?

If the answer to #1 is I don't know, then you don't need it.

If you have a different answer to #1 and your answer to #2 is No, then
you don't need it.

FWIW, I've never installed it nor needed it.

   Interesting. I never read that before. It produces an
   overwhelming amount of information about the basic command ls.

   Now I have to learn to navigate through that!
