Can't bind to dhcp address: Permission denied
by Hanspeter Roth
Hello,
I'm trying to launch dhcpd with root by /etc/init.d/dhcpd start.
But in the system log it claims:
Can't bind to dhcp address: Permission denied
But port 68 is not listened to by another process.
So what could be the cause?

NFS (export) not starting up at reboot
by Philip Prindeville
I have the following situation... running FC3 (updated) on an x86_64
platform.
When I reboot, I don't see any messages about NFS service failing or
being started (and looking in boot.log confirms this).
But if I then log in and run "service nfs start" manually, it goes without
a hitch.
I looked at the permissions, etc. of the /etc/rc.d/init.d file and it
looks fine.
Where else should I be looking?
Thanks,
-Philip

Broken spell checker: A/I spell
by Dotan Cohen
I was just typing away in Kate when I did a spell check. My pet rat
chose that moment to step on the keyboard, and I don't know what she
pressed, but the spell checker closed and I get this error when I try
to check (translated):
Cannot run the spell checking program. Please check that the spell
checking program is properly installed and is in your path.
So I opened the options of Kate and in the spell checking dialog I
tried all sorts of combination (Ispell/ Aspell/ Hspell/ International
Ispell, different encodings, different dictionaries), but gives me a
working spell checker. Any ideas?

LVM question. Missing about 11GB of Space..
by Michael D. Setzer II
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
In doing a backup of a 250GB drive, I was surprised to have a
compressed image that was larger than the used space. In the past,
I've compressed an 80GB drive with 3 OS's, and get a 14GB image.
This is a 250GB drive with only 1 OS, and it is producing an 18GB
image. All free space is zeroed out. In doing some research, it
appears that about 5% of the LVM partition is being used in some
fashion that I am not aware of.
The drive shows the volume size as 229GB with 12GB uses, and
206GB Free. That leaves about 11 - 12 GB missing.
Whatever is in this 5% of the drive doesn't appear to compress very
well with either lzop or gzip. With lzop the image is about 18GB and
16GB with gzip, but lzop only takes about 2 hours, whereas gzip
takes about 3 1/2 hours. The image only seems to be runing fine
until it gets to the end were this 5% seems to be, and it grows
rapidly.
Any info on what this 5% is. I'm using g4l, which uses dd to copy the
raw partition information, and uses lzop or gzip compression. I was
thinking it might be some kind of swap, but why it would be 5% of
the disk size, as compared to the amount of ram.
Thanks.

GUI NUT client?
by Ian Pilcher
Does Fedora (Core or Extras) include a GUI front-end to NUT? I've tried
grepping the output of 'yum list all', and nothing jumps out at me.
Thanks!

damaged vfat and gam_server
by Ian Malone
(Follows on from the previous thread "hard disc health checks".
Thanks again to the people who responded on that thread.)
(This is less a request for help than checking whether anyone
is interested about an odd fat corruption. Most people can
stop reading here.)
As far as smartctl, the Hitachi fitness test and read-only
badblocks can tell me, the drive is physically fit. However
the fs seems to be damaged.
There are a number of things that could have caused this:
1. crashes during windows scandisk and defrag
2. generation of lots (O(10000)) of "lost chain" files in
the root directory by scandisk or fsck.vfat (dosfsck),
now removed.
3. bug in fsck.vfat (it is supposedly in alpha)
4. other.
Symptoms:
1. Windows scandisk now claims that there is insufficient
memory to scan the drive. It does not claim this when
run on the windows partition on /dev/hda (the other
drive in the machine, smaller: 80GB partition vs 160GB).
2. DOS scandisk found some problems with directories in the
root dir and claimed to fix them.
3. Linux ls _on the root directory only_ has a noticeable
delay before bringing up the listing. There are only 41
entries including hidden directories (inc . ..). I put
together a basic ls using opendir and readdir, apparently
opening the root directory is what takes the time.
4. Opening the drive or any subdirectories in nautilus
results in the system slowing to a crawl. Like ls,
nautilus takes a long time to get the file listing.
Once it has the file listing up, gam_server takes
~100% CPU.
5. Loss of data, some files given generic names, others
now filled with zeros.
1&2 suggest something LFN related.
To me it looks like there are a stack of invalid entries
in the root of the filesystem and gam_server is processing
them every time it is polled. I don't know how to check
that hypothesis though. If they're there readdir() won't
find them because they won't get handed to it.
I'll shortly be doing a write mode badblocks and then
starting the fs over again (once I've finished getting
non-backed-up data off). If anyone wants to try and
work out what's happened to the fs, or knows someone
else who would, they should probably respond before
then.

Palm T5 sync with gpilotd
by Yuandan Zhang
Hi,
I have a palm T5. it was synchronizing with evolution (calendar,
contacts, tasks) and with ones on windows (palmone desktop and outlook).
last week, it stop synchronizing evolution calendar. I tried a few ways:
reset gnome-pilot.d, remove the old calendar files, hard reset palm. The
situation is worse. I can't do hotsync connection between palm and linux
PC.
the visor driver was picked up. get /dev/pilot -> ttyUSB1
driver mode works.
here is the output from /usr/libexec/gpilotd at command line, please
have a look for me what was wrong.

command to check battery life
by Lovell Mcilwain
Is there a way I can type a command and see how much battery life I have?
My battery meter shows 0% even though I can unplug it and have the battery working with no problem.
I just don't have a way to fix this problem so I want to know how I can check the battery level
when I unplug it.
