rpm under 2.6 kernel

Posted: 05 Oct 2004 12:18 PM PDT

Yup it exists and is owned by rpm and all the files have 644 permission. But
the thing that is bothering me is that when I delete __db* files and rebuild
the rpmdb the __db* file is created with root owning it. That dosn't sound
right to me. Any other suggestion?

how to remove useless files: after building kernel fails because of lack of free space

Posted: 05 Oct 2004 11:10 AM PDT

YES,problems were fixed perfectly according to all the helpful replies.
Here is the result:
1.Using apt-kpkg clean, I succeed in removing the folder
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.6/debian.Quite safe and easy to use!
2.Using apt-get --purge remove kde.*, debian cleverly finds the target and
succeeds in removing 333MB of data.
3.And with deborphan I find some libs as libgtkhtml3.0-2 or libgnutls5.I'll
remove them by my hand.

Linux is not yet so popular in my countryland. But while I'm learning from
your excellence and kindness here, I'll pass what I learned to all around
me.BEST REGARDS!

USB sound

Okay, I am not very familiar with SUSE 9.1, but you may need to determine
for your distribution how to select a particular sound device, if the
previous sound card is still in your machine. I had to do this to support
my USB headset -- FC2 created a new sound device for the headset and I
needed to select that device in order to use the headset.

Also browsing /var/log/messages may reveal problems, assuming SUSE 9.1 puts
its messages in that location.

Is this intended to include members of the users group in the disk
group? Does that work (check the output of `id`)? My group man page
says you should list /user/ names, seperated by commas. Nothing about
group names to be included.

By the way, don't include anyone in the disk group. That user could just
overwrite the whole hard disk. Include the user joe in the cdrom group,
and change ownership of hdc from root.disk to root.cdrom (if hdc is the
device file of your cdrom). You probably also want to remove the write
bit for others from hdc.

And again: To mount the device you /don't/ need write access to the
device file (in fact, not even read access). That same is true for the
directory you are going to mount the device.

The mount program should be suid root, and thus runs as root, even if
you call it as a user. It will still allow users to mount and unmount
file systems, if there is a matching entry for the device in the fstab
with the user or users option set.
 

You need an entry in your /etc/fstab with the user option set for that
device, e.g.

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0

I think you mean 'export' and not 'explore'.

The reason for the behaviour you experienced is that S99Local is
executed in a subshell (see 'man bash', section COMMAND EXECUTION)
since it is not sourced (see 'man bash', section SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS,
command 'source').

Put the CLASSPATH in /etc/profile if it should apply to all users and
commands and in .bash_profile if it should apply to a single user
(see 'man bash', sections INVOCATION and FILES).

Yes, it does, surely.
 

Nope. You are describing Grub here.
 

Hey, I copied this directly from the Red Hat site. I didn't write it.
 

More questions you could have answered for yourself before posting.
 

Nope. Each LILO change requires a rewrite of the MBR. You appear to be
confusing LILO and Grub.
 

If you have to ask this, you need to read up on this topic and its history.
 

The problems begin after you have typed "lilo".
 

If this were true, it would pose a problem, But it is not true. Grub can in
fact be reprogrammed, by editing one plain-text file, to accommodate a
different boot configuration. For LILO to do this, the MBR must be
rewritten.

Try (as root):

mount /dev/hdc /path/to/mountpoint

or, if you use a normal data CD

mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /path/to/mountpoint

What error message do you get? If it works, check if you have an entry
in your fstab to allow users to mount the device. See `man fstab` for
info on how it should look like.

how to make load module on boot with correct parameter (Debian,kernel2.6.7)

Thanks for now. I'll try it.

 

That's interesting.

There was (or still is) a command like 'modprobe-update' or similar which should
update modprobe.conf with the options contained in the modprobe.d directory,
but i'm not sure...

Fixing GRUB to access boot partition

Posted: 02 Oct 2004 01:45 AM PDT

I found the problem. The setup is done in menu.lst, not grub.conf. I updated
that file, then told grub to run from the first partition. Back in business.

What is your boot parameter in lilo.conf

if it is boot = /dev/hda2 or some such that is the answer
as you are trying to boot further down the drive than is
possible. I had this same problem and that was the
reason. I believe it says somewhere that LI means that
the boot sector cant be reached.

Can linux box support 2 host names / 2 ip addresses

Posted: 30 Sep 2004 02:15 PM PDT

> Here is my problem:

Nope.

I think it would be easier to make a list of the duplicated services
you want to have on the new box (web, mail, samba, dns, etc.) and find
a way to do it for each one. For example, web and mail support virtual
hosting. The DNS can handle multiple zones by itself. You can also do
the dual-Samba trick i explained in my previous post, and so on.

If you want to have people logging in on ssh and see a new environment,
you can do it with chrooted sshd, only you need to mount /proc in the
chroot, which by my opinion is too insecure. (the hostname stays the
same, as is the same kernel)

If you want separate '/proc's and hostnames, go for the vserver kernel
patch, at http://www.13thfloor.at/vserver/project/ . But i urge you to
reconsider your problem, because I don't want a newbie on my conscience
(kernel patching is a dangerous sport for beginners)

Can't install Linux from CD on a VIA EPIA ME6000 Mini-ITX board!

Posted: 29 Sep 2004 11:33 PM PDT

In article news:<theathertons>, Mark Atherton wrote: 

I would certainly expect it to, yes. I've never tried, though.
 

The great advantage of VIA CPUs is their low operating current and
consequently low heat emission. They suffer a little in some benchmarks
comparing them with similarly-clocked Pentium IIIs and Celerons because
their L2 cache is only 64k. They're nevertleless excellent for small server
applications that need to run 24/7 without costing too much or overheating
the room, and for domestic appliance applications (DVD players, PVRs, MP3
servers) where quiet operation is important.
 

I've not used either (just SuSE, Fedora and Gentoo), but my impression is
also that Debian is not quite as easy as the "consumer" distros like SuSE
and Mandrake. I mentioned Debian to the OP because I know it can be had in
a generic x86 build (though a 586 build should work on his ME6000 too).

Cheers,
Daniel.

Can't change volume with ALSA, even as root

Posted: 29 Sep 2004 06:46 AM PDT

It worked! It's an alternative to consider. The only problem is that it has
an 8sec delay to apply the new volume.
Thanks,
