gedit plus

2010-06-22 Thread terry
when I writegedit /boot/grub/grub.conf I get the following filling 
up the terminal screen

GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible 
causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you 
have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See 
http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: Failed 
to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes 
include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus 
security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the 
network connection was broken.)

many many many of them.



the gedit appears with the grub.conf okay.

doesn't seem to hurt anything.

thank and a screen problem

2010-04-18 Thread terry
Thank you for helping me with my root password. I now have root.
I used a f12 dvd as a rescue cd to do it. the upgrade one. it only gave 
me  a 800x600 screen resolution. that didn't bother me until I used the 
dvd to upgrade my f11 to f12. Now it bothers me for I still have the 
same resolution.  going into the display area of system, I cannot change 
the resolution. Any suggestions, please.

after upgrade to f12

2010-04-19 Thread terry
i upgrade on a dell b1110 that has f10 for awhile , then f11. using the 
upgrade to f12 cd from the fedora site. i had trouble with the screen 
last night but seems to have mysteriously disappered over night. one 
caveat left with  me was the need to update after rebooting. no such 
thing. nothing to update. using yum update gets this .  libss.so.8 
cannot open shared object file, something about python 2.6.2 and gcc 
4.4.1.  rpm -i libssl.so.8 gets me ...opening failed.
a trip to duke edu says things about this problem not being an error 
with the lib but something to do with python.
their suggestion to type python and at the prompt type... import yum. 
then the error message is libssl.so.8.
trying yum, rpm and the gui for updates leaves me with the feeling i do 
not have a way to update.  Any suggestions?

fedora27: ypbind intermittent startup

2018-02-01 Thread Terry Barnaby
I am finding on my systems that ypbind is failing occasionally at boot 
(about 30% of the time).


[  OK  ] Started Network Manager Wait Online.
[  OK  ] Reached target Network is Online.

[FAILED] Failed to start NIS/YP (Network Information Service) Clients to 
NIS Domain Binder.

See 'systemctl status ypbind.service' for details.
[  OK  ] Reached target User and Group Name Lookups.

The error is:

Feb  1 10:34:36 beam1 ypbind[788]: No NIS server and no -broadcast 
option specified.
Feb  1 10:34:36 beam1 ypbind[788]: Add a NIS server to the /etc/yp.conf 
configuration file,
Feb  1 10:34:36 beam1 ypbind[788]: or start ypbind with the -broadcast 
option.


But /etc/yp.conf has:

# generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
domain beamnet server 192.168.201.1

ypbind starts fine after the system has booted.

I assume that ypbind is being started by systemd before the dhcp client 
has actually written into /etc/yp.conf.


Does the system " target Network is Online" get reached after DHCP 
configuration ?

One may also consider copying /lib/systemd/system/ypbind.service to

 From the systemd documentation

ExecStart= commands are only run after all ExecStartPre= commands that were not

Thanks I will try this out, but it would be nice to get it fixed

Could it be due to "target Network is Online" being triggered by IPv6 
being configured first ? I don't use IPv6, but I guess the system could 
be setting this up somehow by default.

Actually I just noticed in the KDE/Plasma network manager settings there 
is now a "IPv4 is required for this connection" setting. From the 
tooltip which states "Allows the connection to complete if IPv4 
configuration fails but IPv6 configuration succeeds". This tooltip 
appears to be written in the negative, but assuming that actual buttons 
text is correct then this may do what I need. I will try that. The 
Ethernet interface appears to have an IPv6 config, not sure where that 
is coming from.

Fedora27: Cannot set the default network route

2018-02-02 Thread Terry Barnaby
A strange one this. I was trying to change the default route of a 
machine for testing a different gateway.


I ran:

route del default gw 

route add default gw 

However the second command did not add the route and I could not add the 
old default route back. There were no errors on stdout or in 
/var/log/messages.


Now I found that if there is already a default route you can add another 
one, so could do a:


route add default gw 

route del default gw 

And these worked fine. It seems you cannot set a default route if there 
isn't one set.


Any ideas ?

I ran:

route del default gw 

route add default gw 

However the second command did not add the route and I could not add 
the old default route back. There were no errors on stdout or in 
/var/log/messages.


Now I found that if there is already a default route you can add 
another one, so could do a:


route add default gw 

route del default gw 

And these worked fine. It seems you cannot set a default route if 
there isn't one set.


Any ideas ?

Since NetworkManager was?is managing that interface did you try using
nmcli conn modify or nmcli con edit to set the route in the connection
profile?

No, I didn't know you could change the default route with nmcli and it's 
not obvious in the man page how to do this. Will have a look to see how 
to do that.


Certainly up to Fedora25 changing the default route, temporarily, with

Re: Fedora27: Cannot set the default network route

2018-02-08 Thread Terry Barnaby

Hi,

Thanks for the info, not sure i will remember that complex method though !
A bit strange that changing the "default" route has to be done on a 
particular connection though rather than as a system route change.
If NetworkManager is now managing routes like this would be nice if it 
had a "route" command matching the system "ip route" command.


Anyway thanks for the info.

not obvious in the man page how to do this. Will have a look to see how
to do that.

Certainly up to Fedora25 changing the default route, temporarily, with
"route del default; route add default ..." worked.

First, get a list of the connections, such as:

sudo nmcli connection showOR
sudo nmcli connection show --active (for only active ones)

and locate the connection you wish to modify, then:

sudo nmcli connection modify --temporary  gateway 

should change it temporarily. If you omit the "--temporary", it should
make a permanent change.

The command is buried in the nmcli man page, but the parameters are
hidden in the nm-settings(5) man page under the "ipv4" section.

Fedora27: Ethernet interfaces set to 100MBits/sec half duplex

2018-02-12 Thread Terry Barnaby
I have just noticed that most of my systems now have their Ethernet 
interfaces running at 100 MBits/s half duplex rather than the expected 
1GBits/s.


I think some update has caused this to happen, probably about 5 days ago 
(noticed something was slow). These are KDE/Plasma GUI systems but I'm 
not sure if this is due to a change in KDE/Plasma, NetworkManager or 
something else.


The KDE/Plasma NeworkManager settings GUI interface now has an "Allow 
auto-negotiation" checkbox which I don't think was there before and 
there is now the entry ETHTOOL_OPTS="autoneg on" in the 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* file if you set it. It appears 
that the default setting is 100MBits/s half duplex rather than auto 
negotiate...

     Link partner advertised link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
  100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full

FWIW, I have never seen an advertised link speed of 500 Mb/s.


Yes, I used ethtool to find out what was happening after the performance 
of NFS went down to 10 MBytes/s.


I think what has happened is:

1. I updated these systems (5 off) from F25. This was a clean/new 
install but some configuration files were copied from the previous systems.


2. The /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1 file (or 
appropriate named one) was copied from the previous system.


3. These files did not have the new ETHTOOL_OPTS="autoneg on" entry.

4. All was working fine (Gigabit full duplex) for a month or so until 
someone/something updated the ifcfg file. If you use the KDE-Plasma 
NetworkManager settings tool and it sees no ETHTOOL_OPTS entry, it sets 
the GUI settings to manual 100Mbits/s half duplex rather than auto. So 
if you don't notice this and save the settings the Ethernet will be set 
to this. I will try and enter a bug report for this somewhere.


In my case I don't believe I changed the Ethernet settings using the 
KDE-Plasma NetworkManager settings tool, certainly not on all of the 
systems. I think something else may have written the 
ETHTOOL_OPTS="100mbps" entry somehow with an RPM update within the last 
week.

If auto neg is set on one end, and not on the other end, then the
standards says set things to 100mb/half (for gbit cards) since you
were unable to get information from the other end I believe this was
judged the most likely to work reasonably by the people who write the
standard.  On 100mbit adapters the fail-safe was 10mb/half.

If the device on the other end is not doing auto-neg then I would
expect 100/half.

Either set the other end to auto-neg or figure out what the other end
does and set the computer end to match how it is explicitly set (if
not auto-neg).

If both ends are set to auto-neg and you are getting 100/half then
something is being detected to be wrong with the wiring and both ends
are using what they believe will run on the given wiring.  This could
be broken wires, badly terminated wires, or not quite plugged in
right, or a number of other things.
In my case it is the KDE-PLASMA/NetworkManager configuration that was 
forcing 100 MBits/s half duplex at the Linux end. There are 
configuration parameters for this now in the KDE-PLASMA applet. Its just 
that these default to 100 MBits/s half duplex when there is no setting 
in the ifcfg-* file rather than a more useful "auto negotiate" setting. 
So if you are using older ifcfg-* files from previous Linux system 
versions, you might have the same issue as i did.

Fedora39: grub2 with software raid and kernel command line options

2024-07-28 Thread Terry Barnaby
We are using software raided partitions, including the root partition on 
some of our server systems.


We normally have multiple root partitions to keep the previous Fedora 
version available so we can reboot into an older version.


We have an issue in that the kernels appear to require the command line 
option "rd.auto" for the older systems to boot with the rootfs using 
software raid. When we use grub2-mkconfig (or update a kernel which I 
guess also uses this) the produced /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file does not 
have "rd.auto" in the kernel command line and so the older systems will 
not boot.


In fact no kernel options specified in either the old systems 
/etc/kernel/cmdline or /etc/default/grub are added to the grub.cfg for 
those systems.


I have added ‘LPARAMS="rd.auto ${LPARAMS}"’ to /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober 
to work around this, but is there a way kernel command line options for 
probed systems should be setup in grub properly ?

There is no way for it to know what the correct options are for some 
other install and multiple installs are barely supported at all.


Well it could, although more work, look at the /etc/default/grub or 
/etc/kernel/cmdline files on Linux systems well at least Fedora Linux 
systems.


Anyway this seems like a by hand process then.

I would install sun jdk or jre.
Then I would make sure that what I just installed was the default via
the alternatives command ie;
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java [path to java] [any
digit]

/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/javaws javaws [path to javaws]
[any digit]

Then make sure that alternatives is set to use what you just installed;

/usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
/usr/sbin/alternatives --config javaws

Simply put, network is meant to turn on/off devices that are staticly
configured.  NetworkManager on the other hand is meant to turn on/off
devices that are dynamically configured.  Do turn off network via
chkconfig.

FATAL: Error inserting floppy

Which is why I question using /dev/floppy if the device doesn't exist
the module (at least under f13) won't load.

I have found that I have to use the network init script rather than
NetworkManager. NetworkManager tries to unmount all of the NFS file system
before sleeping and this hangs.

So I did "chkconfig NetworkManager off" and "chkconfig network on".

I have the same problem with this kernel on three different ATI graphics
systems. There is a kernel oops, as stated, followed by very slow graphics.
The kernel has a bug (probably Radeon DRM). I have gone back to
2.6.32.14-127.fc12.i686.PAE (By editing /etc/grub.conf) and all is well
again. Have reported bug via the abrt system.

No problem, but note that I use DHCP ok ...
This is really a bug/feature in NetworkManager that I have already reported.

The Bugzilla number was: 579030 but it was closed  

My system is F12 with all updates but with kernel 2.6.32.14-127.fc12.i686.PAE
as the latest kernel has ATI graphics bugs. It is a IBM Thinkpad R52 and it 
suspends/resumes fine using the "network" init script with dhcp enabled
using a WiFi network interface.

In eveloution how do I

2010-03-16 Thread Terry Polzin
*  Filter messages as they arrive like I do kmail?

*  Expire messages in folders like I do in kmail?

If someone could point out how to do these 2 things which should be simple 
enough.  I can rid myself totally from kmail and KDE4 which is combersome even 
on my Dell D630 

Thanks,
Terry

I've tried that, seems like once the messages arrived, I've got to select them 
and then filter them manually.  The object is to organize what's arrived.  
Evolution does not appear to act on the filters as mail arrives but I will try 
again.

I'll have to look around then.

typically I have folders for my mail lists, so I can "separate the wheat from

You can choose NOT to install a GUI; kickstart can be used to configure

the output of the 'file' command should tell you if it is a script or

Could just be faulty hardware.  Like that's never happened out of the

I think you need to specify that your ks file is
on /dev/sdb1/ks.cfg  /ks.cfg may be leading the installer to believe
that the ks file is on /dev/sda someplace/

OK have you tried putting a fixed IP address on the port? NM is probably
sending out a DHCP request that is not being responded to, regardless of
it's use during the install process you may want to 
address it.

Re: How to mount floppy?

sleazy easy solution, get a USB floppy drive, then the media will appear
as /dev/sdX.  That's what I did for those rare occasions when I have to
retrieve a file off of old media.  I still have a digital camera that

Can you post output of lsmod and lsusb. Have you installed the firmware
for the device into /lib/firmware?  If the device is supported by the
kernel you won't be able to load the module without the firmware
installed.

Fedora14: Very very slow NFS write performance

2011-09-25 Thread Terry Barnaby
Anyone know why the NFS write performance with Fedora14 may be slow (without 
async) ?
I have Gigabit networking which is all working fine and the systems in question
have been running Fedora in various forms for many years.

Writing a single large file across NFS is fine, about: 32MBytes/sec without
async and 51 MBytes/sec with async. However if I untar a 30MByte tar file
that has 2466 files in it into an NFS mounted directory with async it takes 
about 8 seconds but without async it takes over 9 minutes !!

Is this expected ?
If not any ideas what is wrong ?

I am seeing the following:

data.bin binary file 100MB
jpgraph-3.5.0b1.tar tar archive 29MB 2466 files

# Test1, defaults: nfs version 4,
Server /etc/exports:"/data *.kingnet(rw)"
Client /etc/fstab:  "king.kingnet:/data /data nfs defaults 0 0"

dd if=/tmp/data.bin of=/data/tmp/data.bin bs=102400
32.9 MB/s

Thanks for the reply. The extra test data is:

# Test1, defaults: nfs version 4, sync
Server /etc/exports:"/data *.kingnet(rw)"
Client /etc/fstab:  "king.kingnet:/data /data nfs defaults 0 0"

dd if=/tmp/data.bin of=/data/tmp/data.bin bs=102400

dd if=/data/tmp/data.bin of=/tmp/data1.bin bs=102400

time tar -xf /tmp/jpgraph-3.5.0b1.tar
real9m35.235s

time cp -a /tmp/jpgraph-3.5.0b1 /data/tmp
real6m6.373s

# Test4, nfs version 3, sync
Server /etc/exports:"/data *.kingnet(rw,async)"
Client /etc/fstab:  "king.kingnet:/data /data nfs defaults,nfsvers=3 0 0"

dd if=/tmp/data.bin of=/data/tmp/data.bin bs=102400
34.6 MB/s

dd if=/data/tmp/data.bin of=/tmp/data1.bin bs=102400
120 MB/s

time tar -xf /tmp/jpgraph-3.5.0b1.tar
real4m20.355s

time cp -a /tmp/jpgraph-3.5.0b1 /data/tmp
real6m8.394s

Basically NFS with sync for NFS version 3 and 4 is very slow, NFSV4 seems
slowest.

Note that CPU usage on both client and server is virtually nill during the
tests (server waiting is for I/O 48% on dual core system). The server has
2 x SATA disks in RAID-1 for /data.
I wonder if NFS is doing a complete sync() to disk on each file close ??

Cheers

As far as I was aware kernel space NFS has been the default for many years.
Will check to see if somehow user space NFS is being used ...

I don't think it is a network issue. iperf shows this as Ok as do the NFS tests 
with async set.
Anyway a test with local nfs:
time tar -xf /tmp/jpgraph-3.5.0b1.tar
real3m27.320s

The local disk access speeds in both systems are fine.
time (tar -xf /tmp/jpgraph-3.5.0b1.tar; sync)
real0m2.816s

I don't think it is the file systems fault, at least not directly, NFS
with async is fine. Both systems are using ext4, so they are journaled.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. Might try that, but I still need NFS for other systems
and having used it for almost 30 years am a bit used to it !
Actually I haven't really had any real problems with NFSv4 under F13 or F14
both at work and home (each network one server and about 6 clients mounting 
/home and /data). The only real issue has been performance over an OpenVPN 
connection over ADSL, but that is not too surprising (although an ls -l takes
significantly longer that it really should) and this performance issue when 
writing multiple files.

Does gluserfs support client side file and attribute caching (cachefilesd is 
used with NFS) ? I use that with NFS over the OpenVPN/ADSL link which helps a
bit (although I think it should work much better than it actually does).

Cheers

You may have to install the package flex-static to get a static version of
the flex library.

However, I don't think you will have much luck in building all of
X11R6.8 and getting it to work under F15, at least not the XServer.
The graphics driver, DRM and kernel API interfaces have significantly changed
over the years. Also it is likely that the graphics board you are using
isn't even supported ...

Is there any mileage in fixing the problem why your application doesn't run 
correctly under F15 ?
Do you know if it is an XWindows Library issue or an XServer issue (Will it run
under F15 with its GUI displayed on an F8 system or visa versa for example).
Is it a Desktop issue, try using it under different desktop systems...

Depending on the exact issue with needing backing store, you might be able to 
get around this by using one of the newer X-Server features compositing.
If your graphics driver supports this it will normally need to be enabled from 
the desktop settings. Alternatively, and if that is not suitable, modifying
the code with a set of pixmap buffers where windows contents are saved/restore 
on raise/lower events or what is needed shouldn't be to hard.

Also it may be possible to rebuild the F15 X-Server with backing stores 
enabled. 
It used to be a configurable item during the build ...

I don't use Gnome myself, mainly KDE.
But its seems like a lot of people would like Gnome2 back. Why doesn't someone,
who has a problem with it just rebuild and release Gnome2 for F15 (with a 
different package name) ?

[389-users] Missing encryption information

2010-08-09 Thread Terry Soucy
Hi All,

We have two instances of 389 server running as slaves to a single 
master.  The master and one of the slaves have no troubles with SSL. 
The other slave does not allow me to choose the cipher family under the 
encryption tab in configuration.  Also, when I click on "Manage 
Certificates", nothing pops up.  The server is responding to queries on 
636 with no problems, and I was able to import the new server cert 
without error using pk12util, but I can't change the server cert to use 
in the console.

Any ideas?

Sendmail question

2010-08-09 Thread Terry Polzin
Is there a way to configure sendmail NOT to send messages with empty
bodies?

I have cron jobs that I want stderr and stdout to be mailed to users IF
there is any stderr or stdout from the script.  But if there are no
messages, I (root) receive a "null body" error message and the users
receive a blank message.  The norm is NOT to have any messages or
errors. My goal is to capture the abnormal conditions and mail those
messages to the proper parties and not rely on root to forward them.
