Anyway the crucial settings appear to be the following: Memory controller mode : Unganged Bank interleaving : Auto (Only applicable if you have paired memory modules installed) Channel interleaving : disabled (this is only works for Phenom and not X2,X3, or X4 processors) The memory timings and voltages were left as auto. Motherboard : ASRock K10N78D AMD2 motherboard using AMD X2 processor With respect to the manual and the BIOS settings I'm inclined to agree with you, although in this case it was by referring back to the manual and default values that I finally solved my problem. In fact I am now able to use an ATAPI zip drive as well which had long been a problem. For all of this it is still extremely frustrating. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I take your point: that is a special case, albeit a very common one. But your reply really does beg the question: what does "the first" even mean in the context where there is more than one of anything? All you can do is hope they won't change, or hard-wire some names.

Re: [389-users] How to tell when database backup has finished?
On 04/10/2012 11:46 PM, MATON Brett wrote: Thanks for the suggestions. For the record, status 32 was an error on my part, I hadn’t quoted the bind DN so ldapsearch was actually complaining about the bind DN not being found, not the backup task. Noriko, I’ve searched “cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config” and can’t find nstaskstatus anywhere. I’m assuming that it also gets deleted once the task is complete... cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config is the parent entry for all backup task entries. When you create an entry under this parent, it starts the backup task. It is the backup task entry that has the nsTaskStatus attribute, not the parent entry "cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config". When the backup task is complete, and the ttl is expired, the backup task entry is automatically removed. Hi Rich, I appreciate your clarification. I did however mean that I was searching “cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config” with no additional filters which should have returned everything, nsTaskStatus included for any backup job? Exactly what search parameters (e.g. ldapsearch command line arguments) did you use? I might just be having a dumb moment but I couldn’t think of an efficient way to check the error log for a Backup Finished entry, anyone with suggestions? The best way is to do the ldapsearch as described above. I’m still having issues, $taskDN for example would be something like cn=backup_2012_4_5_13_36_23, cn=backup, cn=tasks, cn=config COUNT=1 while [ ${COUNT} -ne 0 ]; do # # OOPS: -b ${taskDN} # -b "cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config" "cn=" # COUNT=$(ldapsearch -x -H ${HOST} -D "${BINDAS}" -y ${PWFILE} -b "cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config" "(${taskDN})" dn | grep -c '^dn') so this would expand to something like COUNT=$(ldapsearch -x -H ldap.example.com -D "cn=directory manager" -y pwfile.txt -b "cn=backup,cn=tasks,cn=config" "(cn=backup_2012_4_5_13_36_23, cn=backup, cn=tasks, cn=config)" dn | grep -c '^dn') This is incorrect in the following ways: 1) the argument to -H must be a valid LDAP URL - so -H ldap://ldap.example.com $HOST is just a variable name, it’s actually the URL 2) "(cn=backup_2012_4_5_13_36_23, cn=backup, cn=tasks, cn=config)" is not a valid LDAP search filter - if you want to search for the backup entry, do one of the following a) ldapsearch ... -s base -b "cn=backup_2012_4_5_13_36_23, cn=backup, cn=tasks, cn=config" ... or b) ldapsearch ... -b "cn=backup, cn=tasks, cn=config" "(cn=backup_2012_4_5_13_36_23)" ... OK, search terms corrected. The command expands to and returns this: ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://:636 -D "cn=Directory Manager" -y /root/.389ds-pw -s base -b "cn=backup_2012_4_11_7_28_40, cn=backup, cn=tasks, cn=config" # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base with scope baseObject # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: ALL # # search result search: 2 result: 32 No such object # numResponses: 1 I tweaked the db2bak.pl script to include ttl: 600 as I wanted some time to examine the backup task entry and search results: ... $dn = "dn: cn=$taskname, cn=backup, cn=tasks, cn=config\n"; $misc = "changetype: add\nobjectclass: top\nobjectclass: extensibleObject\n*ttl: 600\n*"; $cn = "cn: $taskname\n"; ...

Looking past the number '17' in the question -- this is a very general question common to all Fedora releases. When you see "localhost login:" on the screen, you either don't have a graphical environment installed, or the graphical X Window System failed to start. If that happened, it's likely that firstboot, the graphical helper that lets you set up a user account, didn't run, so you may not be able to log in as a standard user. You can still login at this prompt with your 'root' account and password. From that point, you can look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what happened that caused your X Window System to fail.

SELinux preventing login (Fedora 16)

Hit F10 to accept the changes for this session, and boot. 4. At the prompt, type the following command to reset the root password: passwd 5.

Changing the login screen background image in F16
I've looked around and can't find where the Gnome login screen background image is stored. I want to set it to something different from the default. I'm not talking about the desktop wallpaper. as soon as I log-in it's displayed fine. I'm talking about the background image when the OS first boots and the Gnome log-in screen is displayed. All the solutions that came up on Google were for Ubuntu and referred to an Ubuntu-specific tweak tool. I looked in Gnome-tweak-tool and couldn't find any option to change this...

Yes, I remember a thread for instance about how bad it was for "the next fedora version" to include BTRFS. That'd have been inappropiate too as the next version "wasn't still released" and thus talking about it didn't belong on this list. Yet, that thread went on for weeks as far as I remember. But let's respect the wishes of the list rules enforcers, please. :) Life is too short to lose time on mailing list fights. (gosh, I'm getting too old, I thought I'd never say that ;).

The test list is intended for people who are using the next, un-released version of Fedora to help one another with issues and find out how to get everything working. All of them are using it, at least part of the time and they're familiar with its issues, quirks and shortfalls. We aren't, because the vast majority of us aren't interested in playing around with beta versions; we're just interested in getting things done so we stick with the currently supported, officially released versions. You don't go to a Linux list to ask Windows questions, so why should you go to a list for the production versions of Fedora to ask about a beta version? To me, and probably most of the people reading this, the sensible thing to do is to pick a list where the readers are using the same version you are, and right now, if you're working with F17, that's the test list. Believe it or not, like it or not, pointing members asking about F17 toward the test list *is* helping them because it's telling them where they can get their questions answered. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

You might want to try this as root first, after saving your work: touch /.autorelabel ; reboot Running SELinux disabled is unnecessary. Running in permissive mode is much better, since it allows you to switch back and forth without labeling problems. When you run in disabled mode, SELinux labels aren't written to the disk when files are created, so when you try to turn SELinux on later, it results in lots of denial errors. Permissive mode does pretty much the same thing as enforcing mode, but any denials are ignored, so SELinux won't prevent access. -- Paul W.

My hardware tends to be Japanese, and sometimes the difference in key positions has left me with a root password set assuming US English layout. Some of the punctuation keys move when the full system boots and the keyboard definition is correctly set. If I work out what moved where, I can log in. But sometimes it's easier to just boot single user and set the password again. (Don't have all the layouts memorized.) Lately, I am beginning to doubt the wisdom of always hiding the password when you're setting it, especially now that proper passwords are generally understood to be long and convoluted. It would sometimes be nice to have a "Debug keyboard" or "I've checked, nobody's looking over my shoulder, and I need to see what I'm typing." button. Setting up a new system is, statistically speaking, sometimes going to require some debugging until we can put the WINTEL-pseudo-standard infected hardware behind us. (And I don't even see Apple trying to do that, now.) Of course, you can always try the keys that might have moved -- ()[]{}"'=;:+*-_\| and so forth -- where you'd type a user name.

Heh. I tend to like to think of that as more as "debugging" the next version than "using" it.

Well, some of us are interested in heads-ups and such. But this particular question, the issues and work-arounds are not exactly limited to the test version. In cases where a somewhat experienced user is deciding to take the next step up and be a noob with debugging, he or she is going to want to come back here to ask basic questions from time to time, but the fact that the basic question came up on a test system is still relevant. > You don't go to a Linux > list to ask Windows questions, so why should you go to a list for the > production versions of Fedora to ask about a beta version? Heh. If we were doing stand-up comedy here, that would be a great straight line. I've been itching to say this for several months: Oh, do you mean to say that we should consider MSWindows the alpha version of Fedora? (erk. I really should control myself. If my kids were listening, they would be making the cold, lonely, desert wind sound now.) > To me, and > probably most of the people reading this, the sensible thing to do is to > pick a list where the readers are using the same version you are, and right > now, if you're working with F17, that's the test list. If it were just a test question, I'd agree. And, of course, he needs to be communicating with the test and devel lists, so that someone can say, "Oh. Sorry. That was my fault. Grab the next version of the image in about an hour." or, "Huh? What did I do? Hang on a minute. In the meantime, can you try typing this here and see what happens?" or something like that. (I gather that IRC is often better than the mailing list for that, BTW.) But when it comes to, "I'm lost! Can someone tell me to turn left or right now in this twisty maze?" kinds of questions, we need to be willing to pick up the slack here. The devel and test crew don't need to waste their time suggesting single user mode. > Believe it or not, like it or not, pointing members asking about F17 toward > the test list *is* helping them because it's telling them where they can get > their questions answered.

Yeah, if I have another Fedora system handy, I can often nose around in the X11 setings and other places and get the keyboard definitions up on a screen. But, since I know which keys tend to move, it's usually just much faster to type the password in the wrong place. (I didn't say that very clearly the first time, did I?) In other words, where the system prompts for the user name/id, type the password, instead, and see what actually gets typed in. (Resisting the habit of hitting the enter key will save some time. If you're doing this sort of thing for remote login, you never want to hit enter when you've done this, of course.) (Especially, if you are doing this kind of thing on a web page password form, don't hit enter with the password in the user field. If you do, you want to be able to clear the browser's memory of what you typed in, or your password becomes visible to a lot of people.) Or, when someone might be watching, just type the parts that might have moved. (That would usually be just certain punctuation keys.) Or type a few characters at a time. You usually don't have to type the whole password to figure out which keys got moved, or even just see that keys got moved, so you know you want to fix the password. If you're not familiar with which keys moved, then, yeah, you may want to have another system handy for checking what keys are supposed to be where in the default keyboard map. The first few times take a bit of effort, which is why it's often quicker to just boot single and fix the password. -- Joel Rees -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I had disabled it while attempting to troubleshoot something else. I probably installed and/or updated some packages before I remembered to turn it back on. So I changed to "permissive" and did the autorelabel thing again. This time I was able to zero in on some messages that were likely pertinent; and the SELinux troubleshooter suggested: setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1 I'll continue to run "permissive" for a little while longer and see if that fixes it. -- Braden McDaniel -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
