I do a lot of computing with my computers. Some of the alternative methods that 
I may replace requires a lot of memory. I belong to the old school where swap 
mattered a great deal, and so it was recommended to put 2x memory in there. But 
I am not sure if that is needed to be 2x as much anymore, This is the first 
time I will go down to 1.5x, thought 1x may well be adequate.

My plan is to have the "System" in Fedora Anaconda parlance in this SSD (for faster 
response times). The "Data" (/home) will be in the 2TB SATA which will be mirrored onto a 
H/W RAID 1 of another 2TB. And just for people like me who also like to see things, I will also 
have a backup of 2TB SSD, which will be backed up every 2 or 4 hourse using rsync with the 
appropriate options.

Many thanks again!


If I take the traditional computing scheme, such as compiling the Linux 
kernel, much of the need is to also have fast storage in the code source 
tree.


Depending on what compiler you use and what option you give it, the I/O 
generated by object files (just an example) would kill your performances.


My suggestion would be to leave the system on the "slow disk", as you 
boot one time, and put the source tree either in "tmpfs" or SSD.

Good point. Perhaps, one way to get around this is to also move executables and libraries 
generated by me to the "System" side of things, using perhaps a make install.

I used gcc with -O3 or -Ofast. Any suggestions on this?


Not being a specialist, I would say that the safer is the best option. 
Optimisation flags comes with drawbacks on some codebase.
There was a time, a long time ago, when I compiled the kernel, -O2 and 
-O3 lead me to different misbehaviour.

Being "old" now, I dont compile my kernel anymore ;-)

Any suggestions of a specific PCI-e SSD. I would prefer 128 GB or something not 
larger than that.



I know OVH really liked Intel brand, and they provide dedicated servers 
where you can choose many OSes.

That's just what I know.

But I'm certain your feedback would be interesting.

At least, buy your in a store where you have choice *and* where you can 
replace it if ever fails to run with your OS.

Could be more expensive, but...

Develop ineo 25e printer and CUPS

2014-12-29 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby

Hi all,

I have a  Develop ineo 25e printer, and want to set it up with CUPS.
I connect to http://localhost:631/ and add the printer, with uploading 
the PPD available here:

http://www.develop.eu/en/products/office-products/colour/ineo-25/downloads.html
(English, Linux, version 1.1 dated 2012)

The printer is network connected, and the connection is

socket://192.168.129.100
job-sheets=none, none media=iso_a4_210x297mm sides=one-sided


I tried several combinations, with or without the PPD, socket:// or 
ipp://,... no way:
The test page prints OK, but any other page is a kind of source code I 
could not define.


Would you know what option could save me?

Thanks.

Do you know that a big ratio of SPAM are with forged sender address?
Just try it in Thunderbird: manage identities, add, and setup a fake sender.
You'll see that it's very simple to send an EMail with a fake identity.

While you're blocking on the sender basis, you're likely to miss many 
important things.
On the other hand, if you are whitelisting a bunch of known adresses, if 
the SPAM is forged with those, you will still continue to get SPAM.

SSD lifetime saving

2013-07-11 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby

Hi all,

Just bought a Samsung 840 Pro SSD and would like to know how to save its 
lifetime.

I made this partitionning:
   Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *2048409620472048   83  Linux
/dev/sda240962048819220472048   83  Linux
/dev/sda381922048  1000215215   459146584   8e  Linux LVM

/dev/sda1 (20GB) is my /
/dev/sda2 (20GB) will be my / for my F19 install (soon)


Then my HOME is in the LVM
I also installed several virtual guests using ext4 over LVMs.

I'll take the habit to add the discard mount option for my VMs, and 
the hosts system is already discard mounted.


What else could I basically setup in order to be SSD friendly?
Are the fixed size sda1 and sda2 dangerous for those sectors?

F18: Create a USB install of CentOS 6 from iso

2013-05-17 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby

Hi all,

On a F18, I installed livecd-tools-18.15-1

I downloaded CenOS6.x minimal .iso and with livecd-iso-to-disk the 
resulting USB is never bootable: the computer doesnt boot on it. Tested 
on many computers.


The fact is I succeded to install CentOS on a Netbook (no CD/DVD tray), 
but I dont remember how I invoked livecd-iso-to-disk.


I tried with many combinations (/dev/sdc is the USB pendrive):

1°)
$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --force ISO /dev/sdc

2°)
$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --format --force ISO /dev/sdc1

3°)
- Format with VFAT on partiion #1 then
$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk ISO /dev/sdc1

4°)
- Format with Ext on partiion #1 then
$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk ISO /dev/sdc1

...

N°)
I dont remember what I tried, but it was many, mostly tried with CentOS 6.2

Please, if someone has a F18 + an USB drive: would you test and see if 
you succed?

If you ever succed, how did you?

- I want the F17 desktops to replace LXDM starting by the connection to

I think CentOS is the right choice, because of the packagers ecosystem.

too often. I personnally run Fedora on my work laptop, but if I were to 
administer the whole ~150 desktops of the company I wont use Fedora but 
CentOS.

The no-change includes no correction if security hole

CentOS has no changes in Interface, but security problems still get patches.

You have to specify the 80 port.

F18 lightdm F17 also iirc

Yeah, f18 has switched to lightdm, but the default in f17 was still
gdm.
You can of course switch yourself to lightdm just fine in f17.
(or f16 for that matter).

I am happy with XFCE in fc18, haven't dug too deep into the stuff
involved because it just worked.


Great! Still stuck on F17 right now but I used to let release to mature

* I only use the CSV file when adding a new host to the LAN

LXTerminal is working fine, but I want a feature.

Problem:
When I open multiple LXTerminal and I set the BG color of one, all the 
other terminals also change.
I want to setup the BG color independantly, because I use BG color to 
identify what remote server I am connected to.


What settings, or what terminal application or wrapper do you recommen

FC17 XFCE Spin: what DM?

Hi all,

FC16 XFCE spin has been released with XFCE environment but GDM DM.

There was a time where LightDM was not really usable in Fedora because 
of code issues:

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/xfce/2011-May/000519.html

As far as I read, it's packaged now and seems to be usable:
http://pkgs.org/fedora-17/fedora-updates-x86_64/lightdm-gtk-1.1.6-3.fc17.x86_64.rpm.html

Those who used FC17 XFCE spin: what's the situation? Is it working OOTB?

manual network setup, manage multiple wifi access

2012-02-06 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby

Hi all,

I would like to manually setup my network on my laptop, not with 
NetworkManager.


I am especially looking for a way to manage Wifi network.

Just for example, on Debian/Ubuntu, I use:

 # /etc/network/interfaces
 iface home inet dhcp
wireless-essid rktmb
wireless-key foobar

 iface work inet dhcp
wpa-ssid wifiatwork
wpa-psk ababababab

And then, in CLI:

 $ sudo ifup wlan0=home
or
 $ sudo ifup wlan0=work

to up the Wifi.

For convenience (we use Fedora/CentOS for all Linux boxes), I'm going to 
switch to Fedora 16 on my laptop, but really want to up the network via CLI.


What could be the Fedora equivalent?
Would you have some documentation link about that?

Thank you.

Re: [Fedora] 'userdel' irony -- what do you say ?

2010-05-31 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby
 Ashley M. Kirchner ash...@pcraft.com :
Either way, this sounds like a problem with userdel which, if you can
recreate it, needs to be reported as a bug.

I dont think so.

1rst pass: The user has been deleted. No bug.
2nd pass : There is no more user to delete. What to expect?

Argument: user's HOME is not always under /home/. If there
is /home/test and /tmp/test and /var/lib/test, which one to delete
after the first pass?

Re: OpenOffice Should Be Included On Version 13 LiveCD...

2010-05-12 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby
 Jesse Palser slnth...@aol.com :
Ubuntu 10.04 LiveCD has OpenOffice installed.
Don't understand why Fedora LiveCD can't do the same.

I dont understand why each Linux distribution must make all the same
choices.
If there are plenty flavours, it's to have much different choices.

Re: OpenOffice Should Be Included On Version 13 LiveCD...

2010-05-12 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby
 Tom H tomh0...@gmail.com :
True, but if a Linux distribution wants to attract Windows and OSX
desktop users (_IF_), OO is an essential package because it is what
those users expect, an integrated office application suite that is
compatible with MS Office.

On an installed system, yes.
On a Live one, I dont think so. A live CD is more expected to recognize
hardware and to connect easily to internet, though through exotic
modems.

Just my opinion, then.

Re: tc download always to default [solved]

2010-03-23 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby
 Bruno Wolff III br...@wolff.to :
 My problem is all the traffic is caught by classid 1:10, the
 default class.
 Nothing is trapped by classid 1:301 - classid 1:426
 At a first glance, would you see something wrong in these?
I took a quick look and didn't see anything obvious. But I haven't
played with this stuff for a while and my scripts were set up a bit
differently.
How are you checking that everything is ending up in the default class?

1°) As I wrote my rules, each IP address has one handler.
I use this script to display UP and DOWN traffic for the handler in $1:

  #!/bin/sh

  INIF=eth1
  OUTIF=ifb0

  RATEIN=$(tc -s -d class show dev $INIF \
| egrep -A 5 class htb 1:$1  \
| egrep rate .+ backlog \
| awk '{print $2}')
  
  RATEOUT=$(tc -s -d class show dev $OUTIF \
| egrep -A 5 class htb 1:$1  \
| egrep rate .+ backlog \
| awk '{print $2}')

  echo $RATEIN
  echo $RATEOUT

I launch it like this:
# get-bw.sh $NNN
Where $NNN is the handler.

When I launch it, I see 0bit for IN traffic, that means nothing is
trapped.
When I launch it with the handler of the default, I see much traffic.

2°) When varying the default allocated bandwidth, I see in my charts
it is the one seen.

I remember there is a command that tells you how much stuff is ending
 up getting handled by the different qdiscs. Is that what you are doing
 or are you just assuming that's what's happening because traffic isn't
 being limited the way you expect?

Anyway, I solved my problem:
The LAN interface is eth1 but there is a tunnel tun0 coupled to it
(I use coova chilli access point).
Just to test, I switched to tun0 and it suddenly worked.

In all the rules I gave, just replacing eth1 with tun0 made it!
(What a dumb I am...)

Thanks for everything.

tc download always to default

2010-03-22 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby
Manao ahoana, Hello, Bonjour,

This is my simple topology:

  LAN -- (eth1)[gateway](eth2) -- Internet

The gataway NATs (Masquerade) but there is no trouble about this.

I would like to limit the DOWNLOAD bandwidth per host.
Download is:

  Internet - gateway - eth1 - LAN Host

LAN is 10.150.0.128/25

There are sample lines of my tc ruleset: 
http://pastebin.org/119806


My problem is all the traffic is caught by classid 1:10, the default
class.

Nothing is trapped by classid 1:301 - classid 1:426

At a first glance, would you see something wrong in these?

Misaotra, Thanks, Merci.

Re: disk druid !!!!! why like this ???

 Jatin K ssh.fed...@gmail.com :
 I've facing one problem ( doing partitioning practice on 10GB IDE 
 hard-disk  )

I dont understand why is it really a problem.

 if I go ahead with this and create other partition / goes to hda5
 why like this 

On old disks, and I dont know the real reasons, you only have 4 primary
partitions.
The other partitions over those 4 are logical ones.

Logical partitions are hda5+ 

When you created 4 primary partitions, the system automatically create
the 4th one as extended and places the other partitions are hda5+.

 what if you are on RHCE exam .. and question is related to

Oh, that is not a problem, that just a fact you cant explain.
Once you can explain it, it's OK.

 how will you make the examiner understood.

Is the examinator a robot?

 you have not created the partition according to the question 
 you are probably going towards failure
 as your partition is not matching the said layout

Well, I am going to do the exam for you, dont forget to send me the
certificate :-)
Create the extended partition at the 3rd place.

Or use fdisk or cfdisk, where you may name the rank of the
partition.

Cisco to Linux (Was: ISPs: Linux's role nowadays)

 Marcel Rieux m.z.ri...@gmail.com :
 I was under the impression that, at most small ISPs, Linux had
 replaced Unix and played a central role in making things work. But
 today, I spoke to an ISP employee who told me that Linux was only used
 for Web servers and that, for routing and firewalling, nobody escaped
 companies Cisco 

We are a mini ISP and escaped Cisco to these:

They are sold without OS and we choosed to put Linux on them.
