Re: OT: Hard drive warning at boot time

2013-06-22 Thread Paul Smith
On Sat, Jun 22, 2013 at 6:48 AM, David G. Miller d...@davenjudy.org wrote:
 Chiming in with some additional information that only *partially*
 contradicts certain things that have been said in this thread.  First off
 though, the advice that drives are cheap and data is expensive is absolutely
 correct.  Do NOT let anything I say talk you out of making sure any critical
 data on this drive is backed up.

 Given that tee-up, smartctl/smartd reports that the disk has an
 uncorrectable bad sector when there is a read error from the drive for a
 sector.  The error is uncorrectable because the sector cannot be read.
 Note that the detection of a bad read (or write) takes place at the physical
 and drive firmware level when the CRC is checked.  The only thing that the
 drive has to work with is that there was an attempt to read a sector and
 that read resulted in a CRC error.

 The bad sector is part of a file and only you, the user, can make a
 determination as to whether the rest of the file is still good or if the bad
 sector is throwing a CRC error but the file is still usable.  That's also
 why the error is uncorrctable.  The drive doesn't have enough information
 to fix it and it can't silently remap the sector since it can't read the
 data.  If it did, you would end up with a file with a null sector somewhere
 in it at the location that corresponds to the bad sector's data.

 Write errors the drive takes care of through the reallocation process
 mentioned earlier in the thread (since data is being written, any existing
 data is being replaced so the data can be written to a remapped sector).
 Read errors the drive can only report the problem since the read error
 implies that data cannot be retrieved.

 My advice: buy a new drive but run badblocks -w on the old drive once you
 have your data safely off of it.  You will probably find that the badbloocks
 write test (-w) lets the drive see the bad sector being written to and then
 remaps the bad sector and you end up with a drive that is now completely
 usable again.  Be absolutely sure you have your data off of the drive before
 running badblocks -w.  It will overwrite any data on the drive.

 I have recovered several drives by doing this.  I've also had some that
 threw errors all over the place.  Those became targets.

Thanks, Dave, for your very clarifying answer. Should I conclude from
your words that I have already some corrupted files? If so, is there
some way to identify them?

Fedora's packages have never been named like that. GTK+ v2 has never been
named libgtk2.0, but gtk2. And the packages for software development end
with -devel not -dev. In case of doubt, run queries using Yum or the
repoquery tool to find out which packages you need. A bit of experience is
needed, of course:

$ repoquery --whatprovides \*gtk+-2.0.pc

Of course that doesn't tell you the full specifications.  To do that you'll 
need to do a bit of manually labor by googling the Device Model.  Otherwise 
there isn't a way to know the RPM, cache size, environmental constraints, power 
consumption, etc.  To me, that would mean full specifications :-)

It says it right there, that /dev/sda (that's a whole disc), is one

 They are all MS Windows users, and they say that using
 a disk larger than 1 T as a boot disk, the performance will be
 affected. Maybe, that is true with MS Windows and not with Fedora. 

Well, there's this side of that situation:

Have you seen Windows complain at boot up that you hadn't shut down
properly, and it needs to check the drive?  (Of course you did shut down
properly, *it* screwed up doing so.)  Then you have the fun of waiting
for it to scan through one hell of a huge drive.  More so if your
computer likes to regularly screw up.

Then there's drive fragmentation.  Windows still seems to be horrid for
that.  I'd hate to have to wait for a 2 TB drive to defrag.  Even if I
wasn't watching the box, waiting for it to finish, because I wanted to
use it, but left it overnight - it'd be at it all night.

Is anyone currently using a working twitter client? I don't like the

polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 fails to start after F17-F18 update

2013-06-22 Thread Corinna Vinschen
Hi,

I just updated a server machine from F17 to F18.  This server is
running a local VNC session which I connect to via SSH.  It's using
an XFCE4 desktop environment.

The machine is running a lot of virtual machines and so far there
was a virt-manager instance running in the VNC desktop.

After the upgrade to F18, virt-manager no longer starts:

  Unable to connect to libvirt.

  authentication failed: polkit: Authorization requires authentication
  but no agent is available.

So I checked and, yes, there's actually no agent running, there's no
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 process, as usual.

In the XFCE4 Session settings, starting the PolicyKit Authentication
Agent is activated.  But polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 simply
doesn't start.  When I try to start it from the command line, I only
get an error message:

  $ /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

  (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:5772): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **:
  Unable to determine the session we are in: No session for pid 5772

I know next to nothing about polkit.  To get virt-manager working I added
a rule once:

  $ cat /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/80-libvirt-manage.rules
  polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if (action.id == org.libvirt.unix.manage
 subject.active
 subject.isInGroup(libvirt)) {
  return polkit.Result.YES;
}
  })

but that is taken from information on the net, and it obviously can't
help when there's no agent running.

So, how can I fix this?  How can I make polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
start in my VNC XFCE4 session again?


Thanks for any help,
Corinna

 My preferred twitter client choqok doesn't work at the moment because it

Paul -

Finding the files that may have been corrupted by a block going bad is a
fairly long and involved process described here:

http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/badblockhowto.html

For almost anything other than text files, finding the file that has a
corrupted block doesn't do you any good unless you have a backup copy.  But,
if you don't, at least you know which file is probably not usable anymore.

For any installed application or OS files, you can always just re-install
the package.

Cheers,
Dave

linuxwireless.org is the place to go for all linux
wireless info (unfortunately, the web site is more
confusing than a Windows 8 tablet :-).

I found this page:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/rt2800usb

which may cryptically imply you need a special firmware
module to get it going (which probably isn't shipped
by fedora because it isn't open source).

It is the how do I use this part though where
the web site becomes hopeless. I certainly have
no idea.

Tweetdeck works quite well, as an addon for chrome you can run it standalone, 
or you can just login to the website with firefox or any other browser.

there used to be an adobe AIR version,but unfortunately it was discontinued :(

Very interesting coincidence. Can't help you unfortunately, just

Read the book, it's much more comprehensive than the film (which was

than the film conveys.



ROTFLMAO!  The film was based on a short story, *The Sentinal,* By 
Arthur C. Clark, who later wrote a novel *based on* the film. 
Naturally, in that novelization, he had room to add considerable 
back-story and detail that wasn't in the film.

Supposedly, the film and the novel were worked on concurrently.

 Naturally, in that novelization, he had room to add considerable 
 back-story and detail that wasn't in the film.

Supposedly, the first cut of the film was many hours long.

It's one of my favourites, but I have to be in a fairly lethargic mood
to sit still and watch it uninterrupted.

It's been ages since I've read the book, but my recollection is that
ACC wrote the book more or less in parallel with the movie, and that
Kubrick took liberties therewith.

   5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct   0x0033   013   013   036Pre-fail
 Always   FAILING_NOW 3587

What the other respondents missed is that this is the *reallocated*
sector count.  It is a count of the sectors that have already been
replaced by spares.  There are no unreadable files currently.  The
replacement only happens on writes, so you are probably seeing freshly
written, pristine files.

As to the haste you should replace the disk with, that all depends on
how the sectors got trashed in the first place.  If you moved the
computer while it was up and writing to the disk the arm could have been
jiggled onto the next track during the write.  I know that happens with
3-1/2 drives.  I was seeing an ever increasing reallocated sectors on
my desktop machine until I traced the lossage back to me tilting the
case forward in order to get easier access to the connectors on the
back.

Another computer, my laptop has had 6 reallocated sectors since the
first few weeks after I got it.  That was 7+ years ago.  The disk is
still going strong with no increase in reallocated sector count (or
pending reallocation sector count) in all those years.  Stable
reallocated counts shouldn't bother you too much.  It is when they go up
that you should be concerned.

On the other hand, I do nightly rsync backups to a spare disk.
According to google, which probably has more disks that the NSA, only
half of the disk drive deaths are preceded by smartmon saying anything.

Try this, then:

systemctl list-unit-files | grep mdmonitor

When I did it, I learned that unlike you, I do have mdmonitor.service 
active.  And, a search of fedoraforum.org revealed that there's also 
mdmonitor-takeover.service which might or might not be running.  (I 
don't have it.)  And, there might be others which neither of us has 
thought of, which is why I made the grep pattern as generic as seemed 
reasonable.

Is there an equivalent of systemd-analyze for system shutdown processes.

Something on a couple of my machines takes about 20 seconds to wind down,  
during a reboot or a shutdown, and I'd like to figure out what it is.

there is not much to conclude since the first line of

 Have you seen Windows complain at boot up that you hadn't shut down
 properly, and it needs to check the drive?  (Of course you did shut down
 properly, *it* screwed up doing so.)  Then you have the fun of waiting
 for it to scan through one hell of a huge drive.  More so if your
 computer likes to regularly screw up.

which does typically not happen

 Then there's drive fragmentation.  Windows still seems to be horrid for
 that.  I'd hate to have to wait for a 2 TB drive to defrag.  Even if I
 wasn't watching the box, waiting for it to finish, because I wanted to
 use it, but left it overnight - it'd be at it all night

which has nothing to do with *a disk* larger than 1 TB
it's more depending on the partitions you create
