Sophos Anti Virus

[Nermin Celik]

Hi,

At work the IT technicians are insisting on transfering me to Red Hat from
FC12 due to "Anti Virus system. Sophos Anti Virus only supports Red Hat not
Fedora". What does this mean? I'm new to Unix environment, and this is too
technicial.

Regards,

Advertising :( no

IT technicians are experienced in Windows. My machine is Unix based, due to
the type of my work, you can say my machine is the odd one out.

Technical argument(s):
  Technicans say: Sophos Anti Virus only supports Red Hat not Fedora
  Me: confused. Not whole heartedly convinced, hence have posted a message
here.

"Since fedora and redhat are almost the same" shouldn't Sophos Anti Virus be
also supported by Fedora?

I'm requesting ideas/strong arguments so that I don't change from fedora.

PostgreSql question

[Nermin Celik]

Hi All,

I've downloaded PostgreSql from http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.3/, however when
I try access it from the termnial line it doesn't work and gives the
following warning.

$ psql
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
$ mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[ce...@cicek ~]$

Can I please have some tips to get started? Also I using Fedora12.

Thank you is in advance, and may you all have a nice day.

F12 crash

[Nermin Celik]

Hi,
I installed Fedora 12 x86-64 onto Hp Z800 workstation, had a problem with
software updates so used
$su -c 'yum update',
problem was fixed. Installed Adobe Acrobat Reader. Downloaded few other
programs but did not install them. Then, the screen froze. Tried
Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart, didn't work, so reset the machine from the power
button. Then someting very interesting happened - machine went into a loop
mode, started, failed to boot fedora, shutdown, restarted by itself, failed
to boot fedora, shutdown...etc about six times. Then I just shut the machine
off. Before fedora could be loaded, the pc just shutdown in each case. At
start tried pressing F10 but didn't work.

Has anyone else experinced a similar problem?

Downloaded them from a non-repo site.

Thank you for the link:)

As for the adobe flash induced crash, what files did you install from
adobe?  Was it just
/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/

I downloaded an rpm file from Adobe Reader's website, and the rpm manager
took care of the rest, so l don't know the exact names of files installed -
l'm a newbie :)

Re: F12 crash (Nermin Celik)

[Nermin Celik]

This can happen if you decide to take the bios properties and do what is
called pushing to get the last bit of performance. During the boot process,
memory timing fails, and the system crashes.  Set the bios parameters to
default and restart your system.

-- Question: How do I set bios parameters to default?

How do I know. I was experimenting at trying to boost system performance,
and had this happen to me.  I could only increase performance by about 5%
safely.  Overclocking, and pushing memory access is a trial and error
exercise. Best to go with system defaults.

Re: F12 crash

[Nermin Celik]

Filippo, If you don't mind can you please send the configuration files.
In the meantime, I passed my Z800 to the IT technicians, they diagnosed a
hardware problem and changed the system board. Not sure if I want to install
fedora; thinking of changing to red hat as it seems more stable.

word processor/article referencing (non-fedora question-sorry)

[Nermin Celik]

Hi,

I would like to ask a non-fedora related question - apologies for this...

I was just wondering what word processor you use on a Unix system, other
than vi/gvim, a program that allows article references/bibliography.

I'm using OpenOffice and Bibus for article referencing however bibus crashes
very often.

Is there such a program like Microsoft Office + Endnote, in Unix
environment, that is ideal for referencing articles in a document?

Kind Regards,
N

terminal colour

[Nermin Celik]

Hi,

I change the colour of my terminal via edit->profile_preferences->Background
or Colors.
However, then all the terminals change to the same colour.
What do I need to do so that each terminal can have a unique colour?

Also, I'm using Genome terminal 2.28.2

recovering data after electricity failure (F12).

[Nermin Celik]

Hello,

I've F12 installed on my PC.
An electricity cut happened while running a program on the terminal line. A
general electricity cut nothing to do with PC hardware failure. Hence PC
restarted itself after electricity was back however the program that was
runing terminated before completion.

Is it possible to recover the memory and resume the program where it had to
terminate unexpectedly.

The program was running for 2-3 weeks, hence don't want to start the program
from fresh.

Regards,
NC

Yes it was mainly "read, compute,write" cycle.
It was a perl program, running HMMer (hidden markov model program) on a set
of genome data.

I'm not familiar with UPS...???

open-MPI installation

[Nermin Celik]

Dear Members,

To run a parallelized version of a program, installed open-MPI via
Add/Remove Software option on F12. Installation is complete.
Was just wondering are there any other steps required for installing/setting
up MPI?

Regards,
Nermin

automatic internet connection & connection to printers on network & cannot locate network manager

[Nermin Celik]

Hello,

Fedora version: 14
Computer is connected to a network.

Issues:
1. need to activate internet connection manually after log-on. I'd like this
to be done automatically when computer starts.
2. cannot print, printers available on the network are not seen.

Troubleshooting:
1. User guide F14 page 26-27, section '7.2. The Network Manager window' .
*Connect automatically : If checked, Network Manager will activate this
connection when its
network resources are available. If unchecked, the connection must be
manually activated by you.
*
hmm...cannot locate the network manager

Sorry for the trouble...

Regards,
Nermin

Re: argtable library installation help

[Nermin Celik]

Problem solved.

1.
*Make sure you've installed the necessary development tools and run...
NOT AS ROOT:
rpmbuild --rebuild argtable2-13-1.fc16.src.rpm

Then install as root:
yum install /path/to/binary_rpm
*
*
*
thank you Richard. It worked.

2.
*Here the last action on packaging it for fedora.
What Fedora release are you doing?*

Frank, I'm using F16. No haven't heard the last action on packing for
fedora.

3.
*Doesn't the usual works?*
*
*
*./configure*
*make*
*make install*

Bruno, I was receiving the following error message:

configure: error: Could not find argtable2.h. Try $ ./configure
CFLAGS='-Iyour-argtable2-include-path

Re: pdfedit for Fedora 16

[Nermin Celik]

Hello,

I'm trying to install pdfedit. Ran:

$yum install pdfedit --releasever=15

But received the following:
--
Retrieving key from file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-x86_64


The GPG keys listed for the "Fedora 15 - x86_64 - Updates" repository are
already installed but they are not correct for this package.
Check that the correct key URLs are configured for this repository.

---
I don't know how to check key URLs. Has anyone else experienced such a
problem?

F16 (gnome/default)- cpu usage 100%

[Nermin Celik]

Hello,

I've just upgraded my computer from F12 to F16 (Gnome Desktop
Edition/Default). Although haven't played with F16 much, it looks quiet
impressive. Thank you for the developers and contributors.

Question:
Firstly, my computer is 3-4 years old, with 2 CPUs, built by a friend. I'm
not much of a hardware person hence can not give further details. Sorry.

Just looking at System Monitor > Resources > , it shows that CPU1 and CPU2
are 100% used, although l'm not running any programs. Hence it seems that
my computer hardware is not compatible with F16 (default). Do you agree?

I'll be using more computer mainly to write/run Perl programs, run
bioinformatics tools, create/edit images. Hence is it best to install F16
KDE Spin, F16 LXDE Spin, F16 Xfce Spin or F15?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Regards,
N

1.I killed the speech-dispatch and also the python. CPU usage went to
normal level.
2. Restarted the computer and CPU usage was normal.

However the screen froze in both instances.

I'll reinstall F16 again and see what happens.
