changing localhost name
by AuntieParticle 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

I am wanting to change the localhost name on my system. I have looked through the archives and have found a few messages that are related to this but I want to make sure I understand it completely before I proceed since I am fairly new to linux. As I understand it I should *add* a line to etc/hosts like: 127.0.0.1 nameiwant.localdomain nameiwant but leave the line: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost Just as it is. So that it will looks something like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.0.1 nameiwant.localdomain nameiwant Then in etc/sysconfig/network I should *change* HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain to HOSTNAME=nameiwant.localdomain Is this correct? Am I missing anything else that needs to be changed? For example will anything else need to be changed for sendmail? Thanks, AP

/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start
by Dexter Ang 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

just wondering if this is only happening to me. i have set up mysql to require a password for "root" upon login. now, whenever i start mysql using /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start, i get the message that starting mysql timed-out and failed, even though it actually started. checking that script, i've determined that it hangs when it tries to ping the mysql server (mysqladmin ping), since ping-ing now requires a password. my temporary solution was to comment the ping part out (just so i can get an OK for mysql's startup. was this how it always was? i've used rh9 with mysql before, with the exact same setup (root requires psasword no matter where logging in from), and this never occurred. is this only happening to me? any solution on how to allow "mysqladmin ping" without requiring a password? dex

Black Friday fun with Fedora
by Preston Crawford 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

So my wife rushed out this morning to Target to get an $88 digital camera. 3.3 mp. Plugged it into my desktop (running Fedora, of course) and all I had to do was add an entry into fstab for the camera and create a directory under /mnt/ and I was able to mount the camera just fine. Wild. It's a Vivitar (can't remember the model off the top of my head) if anyone cares. Anyway, what a nice surprise. Preston

Problem mounting FAT32 hard drive
by AL 30 Nov '03

30 Nov '03

Any thoughts on this? I have a second hard drive located at HDD and it is a single partition 80GB drive. When I try to mount it as root I get the error "mount: fs type fat not supported by kernel." I currently have fat support loaded as a module. It shows up when I do lsmod, but its not in the kernel. At least it doesn't show up when I do a "cat /proc/filesystems." Am I missing something? -AL

RE: Where do I configure modules?
by Brian G. Vallelunga 30 Nov '03

Thanks for the suggestion. I added the lines: floppy block-major-2 to the bottom of the blacklist file. I was hoping this would work, but no luck. I still receive the following error when I boot the machine: insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.o: init_module: No such device insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2115.nptl/kernel/drivers/block/floppy.o: insmod block-major-2 failed I decided to try downloading Knoppix and booting off of that. When booting, it also said that the module failed to load, but then successfully loaded the system. So maybe this is just a Fedora issue. I suppose I can try installing Debian onto my machine. Thanks though!

Modules are loaded on demand by the kernel. You only need to put configuration for modules in modules.conf if they need it. In your case I believe you were trying to prevent a module from being loaded. This can usually be accomplished by putting the name of the module in /etc/hotplug/blacklist .

Are there any graphics cards with good Free/Open Source drivers that support 3d-acceleration? -- jshreffl <jshreffl(a)users.sourceforge.net>
