Re: RH71 upgrade to RH80 - GRUB/LILO Problems
Around about 11/12/2002 20:01, Ben Brown typed ... I have upgraded three machines from RedHat 7.1 to 8.0 in the last week, and in all three cases, LILO persists, even though I instruct the installer to upgrade the bootloader. Normally, I would just post that to bugzilla or whatever, but even when I manually install GRUB, it doesn't work. I had exactly the same thing, and had to spend ages reading around grub to figure out how to get it going myself (*my* lilo now freezes on MBR boot, so I had no choice). Dunno about grub-install - missed that one. - read 'info grub' for a bit. Yes, there's too much there to take in! I did (mostly forget, I'm afraid) something like, after setting up (using installed/configured) grub.conf: grub# entre grub shell root (hd0,7) # drive with grub.conf; see info help about 'find' ^ don't rememeber the grub syntax OTTOMH either! setup (hd0) quit [note that if you have a /boot partition, you'll need 'find /grub/grub.conf' not 'find /boot/grub/grub.conf' in grub] This, IIUC, says that the vmlinuz & grub.conf are on /dev/hda8 [that's my /boot part.] - 'root' command Then the 'setup' writes grub to the /dev/hda MBR (can give a partition if you want, and note that grub counts *all* HDs, ISE & SCSI/ext from 0 as it finds them. This caused me much grief, as I boot off my ABit mobo from 'ext' (IDE66) not IDE0. When booting CDROM (off RH CDs to fix this), /dev/hda [my swap] was grub's (hd0), my 'boot' drive, /dev/hde, was grub's (hd1). But, with my mobo set to boot from ext., it reorders so that /dev/hde => (hd0) and /dev/hda => (hd1). This meant that my grub.conf must ref. the drives as they *will be at boot time*, but the grub command as issued after CD boot must ref. them as they *are*. Took me a while and a series of grub 'find' commands to suss that one out. -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

192.164.1.76 and 192.164.1.79 respectively), don't you?
Assuming that, and assuming you have PUBLIC_INTERFACE=, you need to have:
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface
${PUBLIC_INTERFACE} --source 192.168.1.76 --jump SNAT --to-source
200.40.197.68

I know... but the above should have worked.
FWIW: This is what I use to add arguments for starting vncserver...
1) Added the following line to /etc/sysconfig/vncserver. This variable
assignment could be placed in the init script itself.
VNC_ARGS="-geometry 1024x768 -depth 16"
2) In /etc/init.d/vncserver, I added the $VNC_ARGS to the su call. Looks
identical to what you posted.

echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1

done
[ "$RETVAL" -eq 0 ] && success $"vncserver startup" || \
failure $"vncserver start"
echo
[ "$RETVAL" -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/vncserver
}
3) Now start vnc...
[root@voyager init.d]# ./vncserver start
Starting VNC server: 1:scowles[ OK ]
[root@voyager init.d]#
4) To verify... check the process stack... Note the inclusion of the
-geometry and -depth arguments.

You've got other problems if the above did not work . Possibly path related.
A good debugging tool I use is to set -x on your init script and watch what
happens. i.e. Change the first line of /etc/init.d/vncserver from:
#!/bin/bash
to:
#!/bin/bash -x
Now start vncserver manually by typing:
# cd /etc/init.d
# ./vncserver start
reams of output should point you in the right direction.
Good Luck!

RE: VNC local/remote
I generally just use a shell script to start a vnc session. As more than
one person uses vnc on many of my systems each with differing display
setting. It seems to have to do with age. The older users tend to use
lower resolutions, go figure. I have found this to be a better option than
changing vncserver defaults.

3) Now start vnc...

[root@voyager init.d]#
4) To verify... check the process stack... Note the inclusion of the

You've got other problems if the above did not work . Possibly path related.
A good debugging tool I use is to set -x on your init script and watch what
happens. i.e. Change the first line of /etc/init.d/vncserver from:
#!/bin/bash
to:
#!/bin/bash -x
Now start vncserver manually by typing:
# cd /etc/init.d
# ./vncserver start
reams of output should point you in the right direction.
Good Luck!

Fsck'd Japanese fonts in Evolution 1.2
This was sent to the Evolution list. I'm posting it here in the hope that somebody knows what the problem is. System: Redhat 8.0 with Evo 1.2 upgraded from 1.0.8 via the latest redcarpet. Problem: Kanji displayed fine under 1.0.8 but after upgrading to 1.2 *no* kanji font would display correctly. They would either not display at all or display as "kanji gibberish". Just to make sure I was not being stupid I verified the chosen fonts with open office. They worked fine. I blew away 1.2 and reinstalled 1.0.8. I have kanji again. International fonts seem to be an issue in 1.2 as I have seen several postings in the archives with people having the same display issues with fonts other then kanji. Any one have a clue?

X Server down after XDMCP changes
I installed psyche on a Sony Vaio PCG-Z505SX. Installation was painless. However, after I changed files per Tom Chao's XDMCP howto, the X-server won't start on console. I changed them back, but it still won't start. redhat-config-xfree86 doesn't work: * ddcprobe returned bogus values: ID: None Name: None HorizSync: None VertSync: None xconf.py: Fatal IO error 2 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :17.0 However, now XDMCP works (even after changing the files back). The card is NM256 with a laptop display panel capable of 1024x768. Initially, the error was that it was unable to load font 'fixed' (though xfs started just fine). After changing the XF86Config to a default working version, the error is Fatal server error: no screens found. Changes for XDMCP: 1. Modify /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs and make the following changes. Change all daemon xfs -droppriv -daemon -port -1 to: daemon xfs -droppriv -daemon -port 7100 In RH 7.0, you do not need to do this, since by default, it is, for security enhancement, not listening to TCP port any longer! If you need to setup default font server to use, do it in /etc/X11/fs/config and add the setting there. 2. In /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess, change (this allow all hosts to connect): #*# any host can get a login window to: * # any host can get a login window xdm usually run as a local copy of X and can listen for requests from remote hosts over a network. xdm reads its configuration files /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config for all configuration and log files that xdm uses. For kdm, it is a replacement of xdm and configures the same way, except its files are in /etc/X11/kdm. It is worth noting that the Xsession file is what runs your environment. The gdm (Gnome Display Manager) is a reimplementation of the well known xdm. gdm has similar funtions to xdm and kdm, gdm is the Gnome Display Manager, and its configuration files are found in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf. The gdm.conf file contains sets of variables and many options for gdm, and the Sessions directory contains a script for each session option; each script calls /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession with the appropriate option. 3. I use the gdm as default and use gdm login window to switch between KDE and GNOME. Edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf. This activates XDMCP, causing it to listen to the request. Change this: [xdmcp] Enable=0 to: Enable=1 Make sure "Port=177" is at the end of this block. 4. Now edit /etc/inittab and change the following line: id:3:initdefault: to: id:5:initdefault: Before changing this line, you can use the telinit command to test prior to modifying the line. Use either telinit 3 to set to level 3, or telinit 5 to set to level 5, graphics mode (you can issue this command on the second machine that telnets into this server). 5. Make sure the proper security of the file /etc/X11/xdm/XServers set to 444 (chmod 444). 6. Locate /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 and chmod 755 this file. 7. Edit the XF86Config file in /etc/X11 and change the line, if you are using RH 6.2: FontPath"unix:-1" to: FontPath"unix:7100" _ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

RE: VNC local/remote
Actually, I understand that and I can launch the vncserver as any
individual user.
I have been trying to launch it via the /etc/init.d/vncserver script as
a service which seems to launch as su and then reverts to the user(s)
listed in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers and launches per the setup.
The problem comes when I try to append any extra arguments to the
/etc/init.d/vncserver script either by putting the arguments into the
line which launches vncserver or by putting the $ARGS variable lifted
from /etc/sysconfig/vncservers...it always breaks and returns the error
that I listed earlier in the thread.
I am trying to use this as a learning process since I obviously can
launch as an individual user, directly or by script...but not by a
modified /etc/init.d/vncserver script which was the basis of the article
in linux journal which is where I started with this.
Thanks,
Craig

RE: VNC local/remote
Replying to my own post... I figured it out...something that I have
never seen before.
this would work...
initlog $INITLOG_ARGS -c \
"su ${display##*:} -c \"cd ~${display##*:} && [ -f
.vnc/passwd ] && vncserver :${display%%:*} $ARGS\""
#"su ${display##*:} -c \"cd ~${display##*:} && [ -f
.vnc/passwd ] && vncserver :${display%%:*}\""
but this wouldn't...
initlog $INITLOG_ARGS -c \
# "su ${display##*:} -c \"cd ~${display##*:} && [ -f
.vnc/passwd ] && vncserver :${display%%:*} $ARGS\""
"su ${display##*:} -c \"cd ~${display##*:} && [ -f
.vnc/passwd ] && vncserver :${display%%:*} $ARGS\""
Apparently you can't have comments within the continuation line of the
line before my problem...sheesh - all this time and energy because I
wanted to play it safe.

Hostname help
Hello everyone, I know that this is a pretty basic issue and I may be making too much of it, but I was wondering about setting my hostname, especially with the hostname command (I figure that sets whatever needs to be set, but if not please let me know if there is another CLI command/program to do it). Let me give you some background before I delve into my questions. I have 2 computers behind a Netgear MR314 router, the 2 pcs can talk to each other... I can ssh into my RH8.0 box but I cannot see my webpage, because it did not start due to fully qualified domain issues. My specific questions are about the fully qualified name, how to set it behind this firewall and which files need to be edited? I have dhcp so how do I but a line in the /etc/hosts file?

Open Office and java
Hi, everybody, In the default OpenOffice.org package in Red Hat Linux 8.0 there is no support for OpenOffice jars and java. They are needed to connect the java-UNO components, and we need them for a project (open source, you can find about it on moma.sf.net, as soon as someone will upload the site...). More over, I was unable to connect OpenOffice to the postgres database with JDBC (all setup properly, at least at jdbc and postgres side). Is there someone who has tips on how to setup such connections? Will I need to download the jars or grab them from a clean (not red hat) OpenOffice.org installation?

Changing the security level from system settings ??
Logged in as root, I go to "system settings -> security level" and get a
nice little thing called "Security Level Configuration" which is neat and
which allows me to customize the firewall rules and allow trusted incoming
stuff. (Where I am trying to get to is to get telnet working on my two
Linux machines, but right now I am still wrestling with the alligators).
Only trouble is, when I change it, it claims to have changed it ("Type YES
to change this!!") but when I go back and check, it is the same as before.
Obviously I am doing something wrong, but what I suppose if push comes
to shove I can completely reload RH8.0 and do it at installation time, but
would rather not do that. (Don't worry about my security -- these are two
machines that are only on my own personal LAN and which no one uses but me).
Thanks,
John

sadly, nothing. that's the actual behavior -- to start with a generic
set of values, rather than reflect the current settings. in other words,
it's not you.

Telnet with RH8.0
I am not actually sure where to begin this question: I hate to say "How do I get telnet working with RH8.0" but I guess when push comes to shove, that is the question. Right now, I have telnet installed. I can start the daemons.I have two machines on an LAN, both running 8.0, and I can ping from one to the other and from the other to the one. I have my firewall set properly to allow them to talk to each other (or at least I think I do). But when I do a "telnet main" it says connection refused. I can "ping main" and all is fine, so I know the Ethernet connection is working. What am I doing wrong? (He asked, in a whining tone.)

Oh if you used a default install of psyche the firewall will most likely closed the telnet port.

File permissions messing up?
Hi, Something is going wrong with the file permissions on our RH8 box running Samba. We have set up a share that is being accessed by windows 98 clients. When a client opens a file and changes it, it then becomes the owner and the file is then read only for everyone one else and these are files that need to be shared. I used the "chmon g+s directory" which I think is supposed to make it so that all files created in the directory maintain the same group membership. Which seems to be happening, as when I do an ls -ls it shows the right group membership, but still the file is becoming read only for everyone else. Is there some way of setting the directory to have the same write permissions for new files created as well as old ones modified? Or am I getting things confused? Have read the RH Reference Guide and thought I understood it, but must be missing something. Any pointers much appreciated. Thanks, Neil. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

on-board sound
I recently upgraded my computer and am now running with a Gigabyte GA-7VAXP motherboard. It uses the AC97 Realtek ALC650 on-board sound. Red Hat's detection thinks it's a VIA VT8233 device and wants to set it up as such using via82cxxx_audio. However, this doesn't work. I noticed that there are a couple of other modules called ac97 and ac97_codec in the modules directory. I thought perhaps I could load those and get it all working, but either it isn't or I'm not doing it right. My sister has this same motherboard and when I set up Red Hat on her system, I just went ahead and used ALSA and it worked just fine. However, I have a couple of games that will only work with OSS, so I would like to have that working. Any ideas? Experiences with this audio device?

Restoring amanda backups without amanda
Hi, I had a hard drive crash on my tape server (which was also an nfs server for some media files). I have had a backup of my amanda configs on floppy, so I reinstalled amanda and the configs and I can backup again. But the problem I have is that I lost the media (nfs exports) that I was exporting, but the good thing is they are on backup of a tape from a week ago (they don't change a lot, so I only do a weekly backup of them) The problem I have is not having the original log files, I don't know how to restore or even extract the files from the tape that amanda wrote to. I have tried subscribing to the amanda list, but so far its taken 4 hr and I haven't had a reply from my confirmation email. I have looked on the net and also read through my Unix backup book and found a few explanations, but they seem to cover dump. As I gzipped all the files rather than using dump (in mt amanda config), I'm not sure how to restore the files from the tape. FWI: the tape is a DDS 3 The only thing I found is below, but as that uses restore, AFAIK, that will only restore files that were put on the tape using the dump utility, also If I can use the config below, I cannot workout how to calculate the 'file#' section, as in what value do I put there and how to work it out?. cd /correct_dir_path mt fsf 'file#' dd if=/dev/nst0 bs=32k skip=1 | gzcat | restore -ivf - Any advise or help would be a god send.

After some intense Googling, I found out that the maintainer of the orinoco-cs driver has been getting lots of reports along these lines (specifically when doing large, high-bandwidth transfers), and best he can figure is that the driver is doing something to make the firmware very unhappy. The post and thread of interest is at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/orinoco-users. I also have the latest firmware according to the Linksys site, so I can't solve it through a firmware upgrade. So I went and tried the wlan-ng stuff, and I haven't seen this problem since. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to use it to make a logical device (e.g. wlan0-home for my home setup w/ static IP, wlan0-away for away setup w/DHCP, etc), as it seems any wireless-specific configuration change (encryption keys, preferred networks, etc.) requires restarting the pcmcia services. And, of course, I can't use the spiffy Red Hat admin tools for configuration, which is a shame. But the card doesn't crash anymore, that's what's most important.

At this site there are RPM packages for Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE and Conectiva, with convenient apt-get and urpmi repositories for optional automated installation/updates. Gentoo and Debian users can use their normal apt/emerge to install the plugin. Read the site for more details. This plugin seems to be stable in all instances, even with LTSP remote X which for nearly 2 years was broken with Linux Flash 5. Finally Linux has a stable native Flash plugin, something very necessary for mass market acceptance of Linux as a desktop.
