OT:Question on NVME disk direct access?
I'm the maintainer of the G4L disk imaging project since 2004, and I use Fedora as the build platform. Currently using Fedora 27. Have an issue from a user that has me baffled, so am hoping someone here might provide some guidance. The program boots a linux kernel, and basically uses dd to copy the disk/partitions thru a compression program and creates an image file on ftp server or local device. I don't have any physical nvme disks, but using virtualbox I created a 4M disk, and 2 - 2M partitions within it. In testing that, the 4M disk compresses to a 30K file, and the 2M partitions compress to about 15K each. That is what is expected with cleared partitions. The user though, with a real 256G disk doesn't seem to get any compression of the disk or partitions. Them resulting images are close to the same size as the disks or partitions?? He can mount the partitions and see the files, so there must be something going on that I don't see? Would think that accessing the /dev/nvme0n1 or partitions /dev/nvme0n1p1 thru p5 would act the same as accessing /dev/sda or /dev/sdax partitions. The images that are created pass the compression program test, so it is reading data, but in some form that doesn't compress much, and user has used a program to clear the unused space? Thanks for your time, and any ideals. +----------------+ Michael D.

Usually, doing a disk clone gets arround issues where the boot loader is using the blkid, since it makes the blikids for the partitions the same. Problem with that thou is that you can't have to disks in the same machine with the same blkids. Once cloned a disk, and then rebooted it to the OS without disconnecting, and for some reason, it mounted some partitions from the first disk, and others from the second? Same issue with the boot loaders using the /dev/sdx option. If you clone a disk on /dev/sda to /dev/sdb it works fine, but if you remove sda to test if it will boot, it will not since second disk with have sdb instead of the sda. Have to switch cables, or change boot order in bios. Contacted the person in charge of the nvme program, and he says it should work as it does with the virtualbox test I did. User was using a windows program called eraser to clear the drive, but from what I have just found it seems to be a security eraser, and rights random data to the unused space as contrasted to writing nulls. Think the program was probable working just fine, but with completely random data the lzop compression doesn't work well. About twice the speed of gzip but 10% larger images. I could take a 1T disk, and compress it down to a 40G file with Windows 10 and Fedora 25 on it. My classroom setup also, had and NFTS clone image file on a separate partitions, and had an grub boot option, that would reimage the 160G Windows 10 partition in about 12 minutes. About a 20G image file. Have a program on the g4l disk that will zero out the unused space, so have asked the user to try using that to clean disk, and then make image. Hopefully, that will result in the expected compression. Thanks again for the info. ___ > users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org ++ Michael D.

Re: OT:Question on NVME disk direct access?
My G4L program can clone to local disk or usb flash. Use a 128G USB flash for my home machine, and to do my mom's machine as a backup. If hard disk were to crash, could quickly pop out the disk, and put in a new one, then boot from the usb flash or cd, and reimage. At the College, I had an ftp server in my classroom that was running 1G network, and would make a compressed image on the server. Could even to a PXE boot from machines to load the g4l and do an image. Even had g4l as a boot option in the grub menu, just had to modify the 40_custom file, and put the kernel file and ramdisk.lzma in the /boot directory. Have a script on the g4l image that can clean partitions, and it supports linux, ntfs, fat32 and even swap partitions. With fat32, it has to make multiple 2G files until disk is full due to the file size limit. Other ones don't have that issue, but fat32 is getting less and less common. Use lzop as compression program, since it is about twice as fast as gzip, and image is only about 10% larger. Program is on sourceforge, and is free, and has full source code if one wants to look at it. On 5 Apr 2018 at 0:59, Todd Chester wrote: Subject:Re: OT:Question on NVME disk direct access?

Re: OT:Question on NVME disk direct access?
I like making image files, and include the date as back of the image name. That way, I can have multiple backups of images, and in the event of something going wrong, can restore older versions on other disk to recover files that might have been deleted that should not have been.

Goes like the wind! There are various options with programs. At the bit level imaging for a bare image restore, the OS of the disk are partition is not used, so it is just reading the raw data of all the sectors, so that a single pass restore gives everything. If one uses an option to access the data at the OS level, it can determine what is used or not. G4L includes ntfsclone for windows paritions, and fsarchiver for that and others, and it can backup data only, and is faster. Also, has options to change size of partitions. Bit level restores exactly the same size, but can be resized by other utilities afterwards. > ___ > users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org ++ Michael D.

The user has used the G4L included cleaning options for the free space on the partitions, and is seeing a compression rate of close to 90%. The Eraser programs current documentation online seems to show default option is a security erase rather than a clearing out with zeroing. Program does have an option for that, but not default. G4L creates a 0bits file that it writes nulls to, until the partition is full and then deletes file. With Fat32 partitions, it creats multiple 2G files till partition full, and then deletes them. It doesn't blank out disks or partitions. Exception is for swap partition of linux, where it does get blkid info of partition, then zeros out partitions, and recreates the swap partition with same blkid info.

Re: OT:Question on NVME disk direct access?
The raw mode does not do resizing, but with ntfsclone you can restore and image to a larger partition. At that point, it will still be the same size as the original partition, but then you run the ntfsclone resize option, and it will than modify the partition and can make use of the additional space. It could also, reduce the size, but have not done that myself. fsarchiver also can do this, but it is not a program I wrote, but was asked to include long ago. It is a file level image, so partitions need to already exist. On 5 Apr 2018 at 21:41, Todd Chester wrote: Subject:Re: OT:Question on NVME disk direct access? To: "Michael D.

Re: OT:Question on NVME disk direct access?
G4L does a few things. It has UDPcast, where it can transfer an image to multiple machines at one time. Would create image files on one system, and the broadcast it to the 19 other machines at one time. Has other little things. Had students work on documentation file, and the latest is at https://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l/files/g4l%20documentation/g4l0.53-docu mentation.pdf/download That was built using Fedora 24 as a base. THe 0.54 version is now using Fedora 27 as the build system. On 5 Apr 2018 at 21:38, Todd Chester wrote: Subject:Re: OT:Question on NVME disk direct access? To: "Michael D.

It would appear that it installed some of the items, but not others.

Not sure if it is related. I've seen messages about /run/user/1000 directory not existing for a number of things in the message log. Have found that if I open a terminal and ssh into the same machine with the same user id, the directory is created and the error messages don't show up.

error with /run/user/1000/dconf
In using gedit from command line, I will see these errors? (gedit:18414): dconf-CRITICAL **: unable to create directory '/run/user/1000/dconf': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly. The directory actually does not exist, but there are other /urn/user directories. If I ssh into the machine using the user id, then the /run/user/1000 directory and subdirectories are created, and then using gedit does not issue the errors? Question: 1.

Re: error with /run/user/1000/dconf
Have the session started thru the rc.local at startup runuser -l msetzerii -c 'vncserver :xx -geometry 1280x1024' So, not sure why that wouldn't create a login session to run the vnc?? Been running thru many version of linux going back to Redhat 9, and now thru to Fedora 27. Didn't notice error messages before 27, so not sure if they were there before. You don't see the messages if you run gedit from the menus, but from the command line, they pop up. Without the login, the directory doesn't exist. With login. tmpfs 758388 4758384 1% /run/user/1000 # find . . ./dconf ./dconf/user ./bus ./systemd ./systemd/private ./systemd/notify ./systemd/transient So, not sure if errors are not important, or if setting up an ssh startup process would be a solution. The machine doesn't have a monitor, so just vnc into it.

Strange issue with dhcpd and laster kernel upgrade?
Have just had an issue with the dhcp ip addresses no longer working with the latest kernels on my Fedora 27 machines. Have 4 machines at my house, 2 have fixed IP addresses, so had no problems, but the other 2 machines stopped getting IPs. Didn't think anything of it, and just assigned them fixed IP addresses. Have an old notebook that I had just been using, and did the updates. Then rebooted, and it also would no longer get a connection with the 4.16.12 kernel. Rebooted to the 4.16.11, and it connected with no problem?? Rebooted again with the 4.16.12, and it just shows connecting, but no connection. Changed the setup to hard code an IP address on the wifi routers range, and then it connects to the wifi just fine. So Wifi and dhcp connection works fine with 4.16.11, but fails with 4.16.12?? Works with the IP address hard coded, so is this a kernel issue or what? Thanks. +----+ Michael D.

Re: Strange issue with dhcpd and laster kernel upgrade?
Since it works fine with the previous kernel, and not with the new kernel, that would seem to pointing to the kernel versus the other devices. With the wired devices it is a trendnet router that I've had for many years. With the wireless, it is a blink wireless router. In both cases, it worked before the upgrade, and rebooting to the previous kernel makes it work again. Just after midnight here, so will have to look into the things tomorrow. Have a sunrise ride, and then a funeral escort, so will have to wait. I'm still using Fedora 27, so perhaps it is a difference between the fedora 27 and Fedora 28. Will have to see if there is some kind of failure message. On 1 Jun 2018 at 21:38, Ed Greshko wrote: From: Ed Greshko Subject:Re: Strange issue with dhcpd and laster kernel upgrade?

missing header files from /usr/include/rpc directory??
Upgraded a system from fedora 27 to fedora 28, and went to rebuild busybox, and it fails with 3 header files missing? With Fedora 27 the directory contains a number of header files, but with fedora 28 it only contains netdb.h?? Fedora 27 shows glibc-headers as being the patchage that provides them, and Fedora 28 has the package install, but a search on it results with no files that provides the missing files. Reinstalled the package, but still only the one netdb.h file? Tried copying the missing files from Fedora 27 to the directory, and it gets thru the compile process with them, but then gets errors during the link process, since the libraries must be missing something? ++ Michael D.

I maintain the G4L disk imaging project, and its primary backup uses dd and default lzop compression to make image files. It does have a clone option that makes disk to disk clones, but one issue that sometimes happens. If you do a disk clone the block ids of the disks are the same, and if ones loader is using blkids to load partitions, it is confused, since each disk is suppose to have different block ids. In my classroom, I had 20 systems, and would broadcast using udpcast to the other 19 systems, but since all machines were separate no issues on boot. Had a user do a clone in same machine to another disk, and did allow booting from either disk. He could boot from either disk if he disconnected the other. He manually changed the block id on cloned disk, and modified the grub.cfg and then it worked fine. I generally make compressed images to an ftp server or external usb device. G4L can be added to the boot options, and run from ram after loading from /boot. So, another 2 cents. > The iso cuts beautifully to a flash drive with dd > > -T > ___ > users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/HGCWHOUBRA4GSKF7DI5EKPCFNU7ZUGNN/ ++ Michael D.

Re: OT: fastest way to copy one drive to another
A number of good replies already, but just to add a note:
I've been the maintainer of the g4l disk imaging project since 2004, and it
basically uses dd for most operations.
First thing, it will take a long time to do a clone of the disks.
Don't expect to get the speed that the drive reports, since that is the
buffered
speed. In doing an clone image, the buffer is filled almost immediately, and
then you will be getting the physical speed.
On this machines I get the cached speed of about 100 times faster than the
physical speed. So, that is what you will probable end up getting for the
process.
hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 6104 MB in 2.00 seconds = 3053.12 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 106 MB in 3.07 seconds = 34.53 MB/sec
As mentioned by others, the 2nd disk will need to be the same size or larger.
Sometimes the exact same disks can have different sizes because of bad
sectors. Had 20 new machines in classroom once, and drives all the same
make and model, but one system reported smaller size. Was able to image
that system to all the others with no issues.
dd_rescue is a good program if there are any bad sectors or problem
sectors, since it will try to work around them. It is included on the g4l disk.
I generally add g4l to the grub boot by using the 40_custom file.
Just copy the latest kernel and ramdisk.lzma file into the /boot directory
and then make a new grub.cfg file, and it is an option on boot.
Also, can be run from cd or usb.
# !/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type
the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry G4L {
linux /bz4x18.5 root=/dev/ram0 telnetd=yes
initrd /ramdisk.lzma
}
menuentry G4L_NOSMP {
linux /bz4x18.5 root=/dev/ram0 telnetd=yes nosmp
initrd /ramdisk.lzma
}
menuentry G4L_FailSafe {
linux /bz4x18.5 root=/dev/ram0 noapic noacpi pnpbios=off acpi=off
pci=noacpi nosmp
initrd /ramdisk.lzma
}
Another issue that causes problems. If you make a clone image of the disks,
you should not reboot the machine with both disks, since they will report the
same blkids for the different disks since they are now identical.
In the past, it wasn't a problem, since one disk would be /dev/sda and the
other /dev/sdb, but most systems now use the blkid system, so have two
disks with the same ids causes issues.
Well, just some things to mention.
Good Luck.

Just making sure. Drives should not be mounted at time, or changes could be made during the copying process. The line for the cloning process in my g4l is like this. dd bs=1M if=$clonesource 2>/dev/null |jetcat-mod -f 5000 -p $clonesize 2>$progout |dd bs=1M of=$clonetarget 2>/dev/null & Uses a dialog script to set the variables, and then runs the copy command in background. The foreground script takes the data written to the progout file and displays a progress bar via dialog.

The dialog then displays a running graph of the progress along with estimated speed. In the clone case there is no compression, so the rate is generally the physical speed of disk. With image files that are compressed, the effective speed can vary greatly depending on how much the data was compressed. Mostly just gives progress versus just waiting for the dd command to finish. > ___ > users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org ++ Michael D.

Second the format of the status is different, and reports on bytes and the output to screen comes at different rates, and is on the same line over and over. Third, it doesn't have any relationship to the size of what is being copied in the data or time.

Later there was talk of using dd to do the copy, and I pulled the one line from the 2000+ line script that specifically does the clone copy process. The entire project is on sourceforge with the source code. Project is completely free, no paid options, no donations. Just an option that some might find useful.

For testing the image, since it is a compressed file and lzop and gzip both have a option to check the archive (-t) and it is a 32bit check, so don't know what adding a .md5 file to confirm the file versus checking the image. Did once have a brand new server that I was creating images on, and they were corrupt. Ran an memtest on system, and it turned out one of brand new 512M modules had an error that passed the first 7 tests with no error, but failed on the 8 test pattern. So in the docs recommend always using the compression program test to validate the image. > > My former experience were using a similar approach but with clonezilla > (in that time, no FTP sending but local storage or at least I couldn't > find it, and a slower process, less simple at least, partition by > partition and a user interface that is prone to user error), which led > me to back my Windows systems up way less often. > Generally recommend a full disk image the first time, the ntfsclone option only backs up used data on ntfs partitions, so is usually faster. G4L can be booted from a windows disk using grub4dos, was easy to add with 95 and 98 and XP as a boot option, 7 and above require making the grub4dos the primary boot manager, and you have to do some tricks in renaming files. Thanks for the info. There is a doc file on sourceforge, but not many download it. Working on version 0.55, and just did alpha 48.

Wasn't aware of that program, and it seems to work with dialog. Only issue I have, is that it is over 60+K in size, while the jetcat-mod is about 8.5K. Since it is only working in ram, testing didn't show improvement making buffers larger, so use a 1M with the dd. Since once the disk buffer is full, it stays that way for most of the process. Perhaps with newer disks a larger buffer might increase speed a little. jetcat-mod outputs lines ever 5 seconds by the option used, and has the format used by the dialog progress bar. G4L is using the dialog menu system along with the script for processing. An output line looks like this. 47.16% 4044.00MB of 8574.67MB time: 0:01:13 55.40MB/sec For the progress bar the first number is the critical part, rest is just displayed to show progress so far of the total size, elapsed time so far, and the calculated speed so far. With options that have compression, this can greatly increase the effective speed if unused space has been zeroed out. With Fedora Core 3 long ago. Did a clean install on an 80G disk, and then did an image and it was 12G in sized. Cleared the unused space and redid image, and it dropped size to 2.5G. Unused space with random data is still backed up and doesn't compress well.

There are a number of directories with start with . and they are not copied automatcially by some processes. Some files might be in use if running from the hard disk OS, so might be better to boot from type of live cd, and do the copy, and then do the reverse on other system as well. Could also use a cross-over cable, and connect machines directly, and transfer files. Would also recommend a full backup before in case something doesn't work. In imaging machines, there are some files that link to the MAC of the network card, and they would cause minor issues, but those are not in the /home directory. Do an ls -a in the individual /home directories, and you will see the number of these special directories. > > Many thanks for any help and best wishes, > Ranjan > > -- > Important Notice: This mailbox is ignored: e-mails are set to be deleted on > receipt.

Structure needs cleaning?? What would be a better way to handle?
I was doing a search of directories to see the sizes, and had some messages come up about Structure needs cleaning? My original solution didn't work so well. Files where in the /var/lib/yum/yumdb directory and the latest one was from 2016. Since it was part of the / (root) partition /dev/sda2, I just did the touch /forcefsck and figured the reboot would then have it run a check on the disk. The machine rebooted, and did the check, but failed at about 60+% and just dumped to a limited command prompt. Was able to fix the problem, by booting to my g4l kernel that loads in ram from the grub menu. Was able to run fsck -f /dev/sda2 and it reported the errors on these files in the /var/lib/yum/yumdb directory. Reboot, and machine came up fine. Had a number of entries and the lost+found. So, question. 1. Why wouldn't the boot fsck fix the problem without dumping to a command prompt? 2. Have a notebook that also has the fedora 28, but it was a clean install. It doesn't even have the /var/lib/yum/yumdb directory. So, am assumming that this was left over from system from serveral upgrades ago. 3. Other than booting from another liveos type setup, is there a way to fix this kind of error. Machine has been rebooted, but have never seen the error of Structure needing cleaning before. Thanks for any info. +--------+ Michael D.

Method to upgrade from live install to DVD install package setup?
I installed Fedora 13 from the live CD and have found many packages missing that would be installed with the normal process from the DVD images. Normally, I do use the DVD and do a preupgrade on one test machine and a clean install on another and usually use the clean install setup after figuring all the differences. In this case, I am 17 timezones behind my normal location (GMT+10 to GMT-7), so don't have the access to systems I normally do. So, far I've installed the OpenOffice, Samba to get printing to a windows box, and found that ftp wasn't install by default? Only solution might be to reinstall from a DVD image, but that means doing all the updates again. Thanks. +----------+ Michael D.

I am guessing that a lot of people might install from the CD image versus the DVD since that is the default download but then want to get more complete install without having to go thru the individual process of selecting each package, and without knowing all the packages it is a hit or miss.

Fedora 13 - Shutdown works, but Restart Freezes??
I installed Fedora 13 on a Gateway E2000 and have found that restart/reboot freezes, but a shutdown does a full power down correctly. By default goes to the graphical screen, the same for both, but with shutdown, it says shutting down and then powers off. The restart shows the restarting message, but then stops responding. No keyboard lights change, no CTRL-ALT-DEL, nothing. Only a forced power off gets the machine going. Tried it from a terminal window same results. Tried reboot -f same results. Even loaded busybox and used busybox reboot -f Don't see anything in the log files... It doesn't come up with an error on the reboot, so it seems to be shutting down correctly, but just not doing the final reboot process. Thanks. +--+ Michael D.

Getting Fedora 12 to work with DVI Cable with Nvidia FX 5200 Card.
I've just gotten some AMD 64 FX ASUS machines with Nvidia FX 5200 video cards. I got one machine a few days ago, and was able to get XP 32 and Fedora 12 64 running on the machine using the existing CRT monitors I have in the lab. These new machines have Flat Screen ACER monitors with 21" screens, but all have the DVI cable verses VGA cables. The computers with these screens come up to the Grub menu, but then it disappears after loading Fedora. I tried loading the rpmfusion nvidia, but it doesn't give a graphic screen, but seems to have a blinking cursor. Tried the blacklising of the noveau, and then found a message about upgrading to a update testing xorg server, but turns out the released version seems to be the latest. Anyone know of a method of getting this video card to work with DVI cable? Thanks. +----------+ Michael D.

The monitor has a 2005 Label on the front, so I think they are old, but about a year newer than our current machines. The monitor does come up with a no signal message with the DVI after the boot gets further thru. The log file might show something, but don't know if they is a way around what it might show. I did boot the machine with the DVI cable and my G4L project and it works, but the quality seems to be much lower than with the VGA. With the noveau blacklisted, the bar bootup process was also a lower quality, and then the no signal message would appear. > You could look at Xorg.0.log and see what is being detected. +--+ Michael D.

It does disk imaging and has a clone option for a disk to disk option. The latest released version is on sourceforge, but a later version is at ftp://amd64gcc.dyndns.org/g4l-v0.33alpha12.iso That is a bootable ISO image, but it can also be setup to run from the grub menu. I'm the current maintainer, and build it using my Fedora systems and use it for my classroom machines. Are you using LVM or other setup?

Firewall setting needed for NFS?
I'm trying to figure out the firewall options for NFS setup. If I completely disable the firewall, it works fine. I've found a number of pages that say what ports need to be opened, but it continues to fail even with all those ports open. I don't have a need for the NFS, but I've had a number of users of my G4L disk imaging program that want to use NFS in addition to the SSHFS and CIFS that it already supports. It can also image to local partitions or ftp servers. I even used wireshark to monitor the transactions to see what ports were used for a connection with the firewall disabled, but it didn't work when I opened those ports. +--------------+ Michael D.

There are also other programs link g4u that do similar things. Linux.com had a link recently on this. 6 of the Best Free Linux Disk Cloning Software http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20100220020013726/DiskCloning.html The program is on sourceforge, but an even later version with SMP and nfs support recently added with newer kernels is at: ftp:/

Re: Need help with clamav-0.96

OT: Tool to work with bash script files
I've been looking for a tool to help working on bash script. I am the maintainer of the g4l project, and its primary script has been about 3300 lines long. I've been going thru it, and using functions and other methods, I've gotten it down to about 2066 lines. I didn't write the original script, and have mostly just been adding new features and making modifications where necessary, but have just released a new version, so thought cleaning things up before other things come up. Lots of programs to work with C programs. Thanks. +----------+ Michael D.

Most of that is using functions to reduce duplicate code, and using variables to reduce some code length. Script makes use of dialog for most of the screen output. Have used gedit for the editing so far, but am downloading geany to see if it provides more. Gedit has some features that make it nice to work with other languages.

Re: vnc and gnome3
I upgraded a Fedora 14 machine that had vncserver running on it, and it works most of the time. In my it is started by the vncserver service that uses the /etc/sysconfig/vncserver to start it up. On the machine, you could try manually starting it. vncserver :10 vncviewer 127.0.0.1:10 I have had one issue, where the pid files are still existing after a power outage on the machine, and have to manually remove them and restart.

problem wth sort utility?
I'm getting results that I don't expect and different from busybox sort? The file contains partition infomation [==DISK==] [=NAME==] [SIZE] [MAJ] [MIN] [sda ] [Hitachi HDP72505 ] [ 465.76 GB] [ 8] [ 0] [=DEVICE=] [==FILESYS==] [==LABEL==] [SIZE] [MAJ] [MIN] [sda1] [ext3 ] [] [ 200.00 MB] [ 8] [ 1] [sda2] [LVM2_member] [] [31.18 GB] [ 8] [ 2] [sda3] [ext3 ] [] [ 434.38 GB] [ 8] [ 3] [dm-0] [ext4 ] [] [25.87 GB] [253] [ 0] [dm-1] [swap ] [] [ 5.31 GB] [253] [ 1] When I use the Fedora 14 sort I get this. [=DEVICE=] [==FILESYS==] [==LABEL==] [SIZE] [MAJ] [MIN] [==DISK==] [=NAME==] [SIZE] [MAJ] [MIN] [dm-0] [ext4 ] [] [25.87 GB] [253] [ 0] [dm-1] [swap ] [] [ 5.31 GB] [253] [ 1] [sda1] [ext3 ] [] [ 200.00 MB] [ 8] [ 1] [sda2] [LVM2_member] [] [31.18 GB] [ 8] [ 2] [sda3] [ext3 ] [] [ 434.38 GB] [ 8] [ 3] [sda ] [Hitachi HDP72505 ] [ 465.76 GB] [ 8] [ 0] Which is not what I expect with sda coming at the end instead of before sda1, and there are just spaces between all the charcters, no special codes. Using busybox sort results in this. [==DISK==] [=NAME==] [SIZE] [MAJ] [MIN] [=DEVICE=] [==FILESYS==] [==LABEL==] [SIZE] [MAJ] [MIN] [dm-0] [ext4 ] [] [25.87 GB] [253] [ 0] [dm-1] [swap ] [] [ 5.31 GB] [253] [ 1] [sda ] [Hitachi HDP72505 ] [ 465.76 GB] [ 8] [ 0] [sda1] [ext3 ] [] [ 200.00 MB] [ 8] [ 1] [sda2] [LVM2_member] [] [31.18 GB] [ 8] [ 2] [sda3] [ext3 ] [] [ 434.38 GB] [ 8] [ 3] Which is what I expect? If I create a file with just the disk and partition info, both sorts give me the correct sorts. Even if I put spaces afterwards it sorts fine, but if I put non-blanks it puts the sda at the end? Any ideals on why sort is acting this way? +--+ Michael D.

Thanks. I looked thru the man sort, but didn't find a switch that I would expect to change this. The command I use that no works is fsarchiver probe 2>&1 | LC_ALL=C sort What makes this not the default?

New Boinc 6.12.33 doesn't work with Fedora?
There is a new version of Boinc 6.12.33, but neither the client or manager seems to work with Fedora. The previous 6.12.28 client would work, but the manager failed. The new client thou does work with the older manager. The issue seems to be libraries. I backed up the Boinc directory before doing the upgrade, so it was easy to restore it. +--+ Michael D.

I maintain a disk imaging project, and bs can make a big difference depending on the disk and hardware being used.

Adding a Package to Fedora System?
I've been the maintainer of the G4L project for about 6 or 7 years now, and I've been building it with my Fedora systems and using it on them to do disk and partition images. Normally, it is run from a cd, but one can simple copy the kernel file and ramdisk.lzma file to the boot directory, and add a few lines to the grub.conf to make it a boot option into ram to make images or restore them. Was looking on getting info on what the process would be to do this. For me it is very useful, and I hope those that download it from sourceforge also find it so. Thanks. +--+ Michael D.

Question on DNS setup change not working.
Our MIS department just decided to not allow the use of the public IP addresses of system from local machines, so I made the additions to the hosts file with the private ip and the name. restart named and restarted squid, and squid picked up the change, and would bring up pages using the name. Unfortunately, dig and other options would still be using the public IP instead. Tried restarting the machine to see if something might not have been changed, but it remains the same. In the past, I had done this same thing for local services I have. redhatgcc.dyndns.org has a public ip of 202.128.73.24, but on the inside it has the private ip of 192.168.50.41. So, the hosts file has the link between the 192.168.50.41 and the redhatgcc.dyndns.org, and it reports that. But now the college web sever that has a public IP of 202.128.72.2 is now mapped internally to 10.10.10.11, so I added the same mapping but dig still reports the 202.128.72.2 number, and that will no longer work from the inside? Is there something that might be caching the old information even after a system restart? At this point to get it to work, I've had to point to there DNS server that using 172.16.0.4? We've got less than 1000 machine on campus, but they now have 10.x.x.x networks, and 172.16.x networks and a number of 192.168.x networks... +--+ Michael D.

Rather it contains the other partitions that are within it. You can see that /dev/sdb5 and /dev/sdb6 are the logical partitions within the extended partition. With basic partitions, you have the 4 physical partitions than can be the first one, but you can also make an extended partition that can the have logic partitions.

In my reading of the setup, the disk is using the Windows ntldr as the primary boot loader, since the NTFS partition has the boot flag? It may be that boot loader has been changed to grub, but the boot flag is not on the linux boot partitions, so you might need to reload the grub boot loader to correct this. I would always do a full image backup before doing anything, so that if something doesn't work, you can put the machine back as it was.

Recalling a presentation at Defcon 2006, the space between tracks would contain information that could determin what was there before a format operation. A DES level wipe required writing 7 different patterns to every sector to make this practically impossible. I don't do that level of wiping disk, but do use scripts to clear the unused space before doing disk/partition images. Makes a huge difference in the image size, since zeroed out sectors compress to almost nothing in the image file. Did an image of an 80GB disk after a full install of Fedora, and it made a 12GB image file. After clearing the image was only 2.5GB. > -- > 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 +--+ Michael D.

Problem with USB KVM Switch.
In switching from a Trendnet KV-400 swith to a USB 2.0 KVM Switch I am having a problem with the monitor coming up in 1024x768 mode instead of the 1280x1024. If I plug the monitor directly to this Fedora 12 machine, it comes up as 1280x1024? The monitor is a Sceptre Tech Inc 19" which is recognized by the fedora when it is connected directly to the machine with 1280x1024 with 60hz. If I then hook the monitor back up thru the switch if works at the correct resolution, but expect that a restart will put it back to the 1024x768, and from the specs it should be running at 75hz. Haven't found a fedora drive for this monitor, and system-config-display doesn't show it. Is this a problem with the KVM switch or with the Monitor using default settings. Don't understand why it sees the monitor as unknown even when it is the selected PC on the swich at boot up. -- 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

The trendnet TK-400 has a external power port but this USB KVM MT-401UK doesn't a power plug, but the user manual says to add a DC 5V, 500mA-1A to the power jack, which it doesn't have? I thought maybe having it connected to other computers via the USB would cover this, but it did not. Still came up in 1024x768 resolution. It has 3 USB ports on the end to connect to keyboard and mouse perhaps the 3rd one can be used for power? The other end has the monitor port, and then monitor and USB ports for each of the computers? Strangely, the Fedora 10 machine comes up fine in 1280x1024 mode?

Found that adding nomodeset to the kernel line would get it to come up with the 1280x1024, but I had my userid set to have compiz, and it would not log in, but other accounts could log in ok. Had to remove compiz, and then could log into my id, but the the screens were not working correctly. Missing outer boxes. Finally found that a gnome subdirectory file had a compiz-gtk line in it under a sessions directory.

Mapping Key for keyboard with no regular insert key?
Got some labs that have Logitec Internet keyboards that for some reason don't have an insert key above the regular arrow keys. For some reason it has a large delete key? With most programs one can turn off num lock and use that insert key, but had the windows tn5250 program that would not, so had to come up with a reg hack, and mapped the context menu button next to Ctrl on Rigth to Insert. Was looking to do something similar for something similar for linux, since machines also have Fedora 12.

LibreOffice Install Process.
I download and setup the 64 bit version of the Fedora 13 machine using the following process. Extract the gz file cd en-US cd RPMS rpm -Uvh *.rpm that went fine with no problems cd desktop-integration ran the redhat rpm It gave conflicts with openoffice remove openoffice reran redhat rpm, and it worked in the installation, but the links did not work. Turned out they were running libreoffice instead of the libreoffice3 from the /usr/bin. So, I just created a link using ln -s libreoffice3 libreoffice Don't know if this is the exact process that was meant to be done, or if it is the same with the 32 bit version? Wondering if others have checked it out yet. -- 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

Some comments on Compression. With my G4L project that backs up and restores disk and partitions using dd and compression. I've also seem difference in the speed and load on cpu. I've used lzop compression as the default option do to this. In a small partition test these were the time results. 10 seconds with no compression 3 seconds with lzop compression 6 seconds with gzip compression 18 seconds with bzip compression With full disk images the same machines take the following. 50 minutes with lzop 100 minutes with gzip Intestingly, restoring both the lzop and gzip images only takes about 40 minutes, so compression process takes more load compared to uncompressing. The general difference between the compression is about 10%. Also, lzop only seems to load the CPU at about 30% rather than the 80 - 90% of gzip. There are lots of things that effect the speed, so this might vary based on the overall system and network.

Cut -- Good Questions.. > 1) How does 4GL compare with Clonezilla? The one version seems similar to what g4l does with the cd running, where the bigger version has a database system that needs to be setup. The one big difference is that g4l has a number of kernels on the cd image, since some hardware requires the latest kernels, and other hardware works with older version. So the user can boot from various kernels to find one that works with there hardware. I even have a method that can be used to add it to an ntfs partition to boot via grub4dos. As a side note, it seems at least for downloads the vast number of users are using windows for the download?

I believe both the smaller version of clonezilla and g4l are included on parted magic live cd? The g4l script can also be downloaded, and if the support programs are there, it can be run from various cds. Have in the past made packages that included the script and some programs that distro live cds didn't include. Did that for knoppix and finnix, and these same ones worked with others. G4L can backup and restore LVM partitions, but currently can not mount them directly.

I wouldn't suggest attempting to do disk or partition images over 128K or most broadband connection. With a 100MB network, it takes about 50 minutes to image an 80GB disk image to about 14GB in my case. Can make a 9GB image file of a 40GB partition using ntfsclone option in about 12 minutes. I would suggest making an image to a local USB or other local machine, and then file could be sent using any transfer option. >tar -cSf - *.img | ssh foo "tar xSf -" > might reduce the bytes transferred better than compression, depending on file > content. that is a file level backup, whereas g4l's purpose is to mainly make full disk or partitionimages. > > As you said, "lots of things effect the speed."

OT:How to disable a built-in kernel module?
I have a project in which I build most nic and disk modules into the kernel file so it will support hardware with any of the devices. In most cases this works just fine with the kernel only loading the correct ones. But rarely, it stops on a module that is not in the hardware. The latest one is the myri10ge module for one users. I have built a kernel for this user with this module disable, but would like to know if there is a kernel command line option to disable module. blacklist doesn't seem to work with built-in modules.

Thanks for the info. The cd image includes a number of kernels with various kernels, to support wide hardware. Sometimes the latest kernel works, but sometimes older ones work. That is why the kernels are built as single files. As an additional note, just heard back from the user, and the kernel without the module, still stops, but now it stops at the module listed in the config before that one, so now disabling the one after that in the kernel config file. I had hoped the debug kernel option might show more info, but seems to be the same.

Why not just enter the regular number in the columns, and just do the formula in the total column? Just enter the wins in Columns B thru G Then in H put the formula. H3 would have, with x1 thru x5 replaced with your numbers. =B3*x1+c3*x2+d3*x3+e3*x4+g3*x5 Otherwise, you could enter the number in one column, and have the formula to multiply it in the next.

preupgrade from FC12 to FC14 issues?
I've just used preupgrade to upgrade some systems in my clasroom lab that has XP and Fedora 12. I had earlier done a test with fedora 13, but it had some issues the upgrade. The upgrade from 12 to 14 seems to have handled the problem with the older Nvidia cards these machines have, but there are a few issues. I saw the same issue with system-config-display that has been mentioned, and also found that vim-common and vim-enhanced where still the fc12 version? It also left the 3 fc12 kernels and kmods nvidias for the 3. I removed those and then installed the fc14 versions of the vim rpms. The one issue that I'm have trouble with is Flash and firefox. Google chrome works fine, and I was able to it working with firefox after I did a number of things. I then tried to figure out exactly what I did, and it didn't work on another machine? Even the machine I got it working on, I then logged in with another user, and it didn't work for that user? -- 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
memtest on Fedora 14
I upgraded 18 of the 20 machines in my classroom to Fedora 14 from 12 using preupgrade. (Actually did 1, and imaged to the other 17 machines). All but one worked fine. I originally thought it was a disk issue, but after eliminating that as the issue went to ran a memtest cycle from my g4l cd and discovered it had a bad memory stick. Not sure why the Fedora 12 or XP never had any issues with it. But replaced the bad ram, and got it running after that. I did come up with a few things. The memtest was an option on the grub menu with the Fedora 12, but somehow it was no longer in the grub.conf after the upgrade, but the memtest program had be upgraded? I wanted to check the other machines to make none of the others had ram issues. I ran memtest-setup, and it added the memtest options, but it would not work? It had the kernel --type=netbsd /elf-memtest86+-4.10 Changing to kernel /memtest86+-4.10 worked thou... Not sure if others have seen this? -- 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
Question on /var/named permissions
I was looking in the /var/log/messages and saw messages about permission when righting named files to /var/named. In looking, I found the directories have root as the owner with rwx or rw but named was group with r-x or r--. Changed the mode so named group had same rights as owner, and messages no longer show up. Just use the caching named, and this machine was upgraded to 14 from 12, so not sure if this is an issue with upgrade versus clean install. +--+ Michael D.

GNOME Login Sound - Startup application issue
Was recently looking some log files, and found that this wasn't working since the file or whatever it was trying to play wasn't working. The original setting was to play an --id= /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login" Not sure if that --id="desktop-login" is suppose to be pointing to something or set somewhere else, but on both a clean install and an update from 12 to 14, it shows that it doesn't work. I modified the option to use a sound file I located on the system, and it seems to work fine at playing the sound on login. /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play -f /usr/share/sounds/KDE-Sys-Log-In.ogg -- description="GNOME Login" Not sure if I've missed something, but it is enabled as a startup app, but doesn't work (at least no playing) on my setups. -- 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
RT2500 wireless nic??
Does anyone know how to get a wireless RT2500 to work? Have a co-worker that has an old P4 notebook that has this nic for wireless. Long ago, I had gotten it working with a sourceforge driver, but when I upgraded it to Fedora 11 that method wouldn't work. I just upgraded the machine to Fedora 12, and I can get the machine to see wireless hubs, but it always fails to get an IP. Tried the sourceforge info again, and it fails to build. Seems the RT2500 is now included in later kernels, but it doesn't connect with the hub with the network manager, or system-config-network, or using wlassistant. Thanks. +--+ Michael D.

What is seapplet?? Running at 97% and 100% of CPU.
Started out that I thought this was an issue with a new install, but just checked my home AMD 64 Phenom II and it has one of its CPUs running at 100% with seapplet as well. Don't see anything on P4 systems? ==Start of issue == I've just setup an older AMD 64 machine with Fedora 12, and just saw seapplet running at 97% of the CPU. Didn't see this running at this level before today. Got nothing on the man with the command so wondering what this is. Just installed it on Saturday, so perhaps this is something that runs after setup. The process is on my other machines P4 machines, but not running at any level. Anyone know exactly why this is happen? Why or how to fix it? On the single core machine I changed the nice level to 19 so now it is only running at 49% or CPU. +----------+ Michael D.

Fedora 20 Cups pstopxl/gstopxl still broken
Was doing a clean install on new Lenova i7 machines for my classroom labs, and couldn't get the printer to work. Had no problem setting up the printer, but test prints just resulted in printer stopped. Tried all kinds of things, and the Fedora 17 machines were printing just fine. Finally ran system-config-printer, and was actually able to see an error message, but it was not correct either. Was reporting that it couldn't find the file /usr/ib64/cups/filter/pstopxl. Then I recalled this error from long long ago with an older version of Fedora, seems that the file was changed from pstopxl to gstopxl, so creating a link to the correct name fixed the problem, but it was in /usr/lib/cups/filter... I recall putting this in a bug report or someone else had already done it, but it was long ago. Not sure why this issue hasn't been fixed? Either have the link include, or have the printer setup use the correct name. I've got to get 21 machines setup in just over a week for the start of the semester. Old machines are 8 years old, so nice to get new ones, but having to refix a problem that should have already been corrected. Is there some other method that can be used to make sure this is corrected, or there another method that should be used. +----------+ Michael D.

OT: Kernel USB message
I have a project that I build using Fedora, but have just gotten some new machine with USB keyboards and mice, and am getting a message that pops up often. With Fedora it isn't a real issue, since it goes to the log, but with the project it displays on the text screen, and corrupts the dialog display. The message seems to be linked to the Lenova Mouse, but not sure how to solve or supress the messages. Message is: usb 3-x: ep 0x81 - rounding interval to 64 microframes, ep desc says 80 microframes The message appears at random times, with no use of the mouse. Nothing for time, then sometimes 1 or a few will pop up. The 3-x has the x value change depending on what USB port it is plugged into. For my project the kernels are build from kernel.org source, but the support is currently built from Fedora machines. Any ideals on ways to resolve the issue? Searches find lots of results, but they are mainly long log listings that have the line somewhere in the listing. Thanks. +--+ Michael D.

ssh difference with Fedora 20
Last week I got 21 new machines for my classroom to replace the 8 year old machine. Old machine had Fedora 17 with 1 having 18 and 1 with 19. That all worked well, but installed Fedora 20 on the new machines in addition to the Windows 7 the machine came with. Have run into 1 issue so far. With Fedora 20, when I ssh into other machines using plink to run commands to do various things, it all works fine with one exception. If the command has a reboot option, it just sits there. The remote machine does reboot, but the connection doesn't close? End up having to kill the process to get it to go on to the next line of the script to do the next machine. With Redhat 9 thru 17, there was never a pause, it would go on to the next machines connection. With 18 or 19, it would display a message about the connection being closed, but would go on quickly. With Fedora 20 it is different. Machine running the script at moment is still 17, so it didn't change. Tried using reboot, shutdown -r now, and systemctl options, and all have the same issue. Doing a simple command link ls, results in going from one machine to the next with no pauses. +--+ Michael D.

I had done some additional testing, and it appears that it actually was rebooting as I had thought. The log shows it shuts down a bunch of things, but then just sits there, so the connection was actually ending. Had a ping running to the machine in another window, and saw it did go down. Now did the test with the following option. Was always connected with root user. plink -t 192.168.7.202 -l root -pw * "sync ; systemctl reboot -i " The above did make the connection, and did actually cause a restart after about 40 seconds as show from the ping window, and then the pings came back after the reboot. Connecting to the machine, and checking uptime did show the machine reboot, but the plink command was still running? It didn't disconnect, so not clear on why that is? Would think a reboot would reset the connection? Did a test using timelimit to cancel the job after 30 seconds, and that worked, but would be hard to calculate the amount of time required with tasks other than a reboot. Might be best to just do a separate script to reboot systems, and run the update processes without the reboot. Again, Thanks. Didn't get the machines till Monday, so only had a week to get it all up and running. > > -- > users mailing list > users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have > a question?

I want to automate the process since I generally use this to connect to the other 19 machines in the classroom, so the plink with the commands requires no typing on keyboard. The issue I've seen is that sometimes it works fine, and sometimes it takes 1 1/2 minutes or more to reboot, and on some cases it never reboots. I have found on reference that mentions using sync ; then reboot with the -force option, and that always seems to work, but using a force option doesn't sound like the best method. The ideal was the sync would get stuff written. Will have to do more testing. > > poma > > > -- > users mailing list > users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have > a question?

I've been maintainer of the g4l project since 2004, and it has options for backing up linux, and other partitions. In my classroom, I have it setup to run as an option to restore the XP partition on old systems in about 12 minutes for the 40G partition using ntfsclone image. Just got new machines 2 weeks ago, and have them setup with Windows 7 and Fedora 20. The Grub menu now has an option to restore the 160G partition in about 9 1/2 minutes, but only has about 25G of space used, which makes the NTFSCLONE image better since it backs up just used space. This wouldn't be a running version, but would be a backup of the data. Would also need to backup mbr with partition table to restore. There might also be options to run XP under Virtualbox or other options, or depending on the needs, usine WINE, dosbox, or dosemu. > -- > Timothy Murphy > e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net > School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland > > > -- > users mailing list > users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have > a question?

Mostly uses dd with compress using lzop, gzip or bzip2. Along with ntfsclone options, and has fsarchiver also included, but I added it as an option at an users request, and have only used it a couple of times in testing.

Clearing screen after selecting windows from grub?
I just got 20 new machines in my classroom to replace the 8 year old machines, and added the Fedora 20 to the Windows 7 that the machines came with. I was able to figure how to the old graphic from previous versions to show up instead of the black screen with text only, and they is no issue with any kernel or non-windows options, but when selecting the windows 7 boot option, the screen seems to show multiple copies of the original image of the verne.png file but not correctly set. It just sits there for some time, but then the windows does finally come up. Is there an option to have it clear the screen when the option is picked? Thanks. Another issue that I have run into is that I setup one machine, and then imaged them to the other machines. The the nic commands would not work because the hardcoded mac wasn't matching, so I had create a script to automatically modify the file in these 20 machines, but have also worked to get the script to work with other machines with various nics. This script works, but doesn't automatically change the file since I want to make sure that it is correct before changing. I recall on previous versions that you could tell it not to link the mac to the nic, so it was no issue with imaging machines. Not a big deal, but found I couldn't use ifup or other commands since it would give errors that the mac wasn't matching. cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts nic=`ls ifcfg* | grep -v \~ | grep -v lo | grep -v org | grep -v new` nicname=`echo $nic | cut -b 7-12` HW=`ifconfig $nicname | grep ether | cut -b 15-31 | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]` clear echo NIC $nic NICNAME $nicname HW $HW sed -e "s/HWADDR=.*/HWADDR=\"$HW\"/g" $nic >$nic.new2 cat $nic | grep -v HWADDR >$nic.new echo HWADDR=\"$HW\" >>$nic.new Again Thanks. +--------------+ Michael D.
