Kudzu segfault
by Tom Chiverton 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

This is a Fedora Core 5 box, upgraded recently from 7.3 Legacy. Yum is using only extras, updates and core - all non-testing - and reports it is up to date. Kudzu crashes during boot up and when run by root once the system is up (the crash doesn't appear to have effected the boot process). Moving /etc/sysconfig/hwconf out of the way doesn't appear to help. Here is a snipit from an strace (strace -f kudzu >/tmp/a 2>&1): close(3) = 0 open("/dev/xvc0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) readlink("/proc/self/fd/0", "/dev/pts/0", 4096) = 10 readlink("/proc/self/fd/1", "/tmp/a", 4096) = 6 readlink("/proc/self/fd/2", "/tmp/a", 4096) = 6 open("/dev/console", O_RDWR) = 3 ioctl(3, TIOCLINUX, 0xbfa42fd3) = 0 vm86old(0) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address) access("/proc/xen", X_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/dev/zero", O_RDWR) = 6 mmap2(0x10000, 524288, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED|MAP_FIXED, 6, 0) = 0x10000 close(6) = 0 open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR) = 6 mmap2(NULL, 1282, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED|MAP_FIXED, 6, 0) = 0 mmap2(0xa0000, 393216, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED|MAP_FIXED, 6, 0xa0) = 0xa0000 close(6) = 0 iopl(0x3) = 0 ioperm(0, 0x400, 0x1) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, ~[RTMIN RT_1], [], 8) = 0 vm86old(0x80898ac) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented) The last two lines (rt_sig and vm86old) repeat for several hundred lines until: rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, ~[RTMIN RT_1], [], 8) = 0 vm86old(0x80898ac) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented) --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ Process 3020 detached Any ideas ? -- Tom C

I've got a serious gpg problem on one workstation. I've spent hours trying to solve it, and need to get some ideas from someone experienced. I'll give full details if anyone volunteers. Anne

[Apache] .htaccess ignored???
by Deepak 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Hi, I had httpd running in my FC5. I guess directory listing is enabled by default (if no index.html, then I can see all the files inside). I have directory /var/www/html/links where I am currently working on. I have tried the ".htaccess" file methods mentioned in web to prevent directory listing but I can still see all the files when I go to this URL (simulating no index file). My .htaccess file contains ================================= Options -Indexes (suggestion from one site) IndexIgnore * (suggestion from another site) ================================= Can somebody guide me how to fix this? I guess it will just be small tweak. Thanks

having trouble with RAID and FC5
by Dan McCullough 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Okay I am trying to setup RAID on FC5, almost all the examples that I have found are for raidtools2, however FC5 does not have raidtools2. so i have been trying to use mdadm to do it, but I keep getting errors. So anyway I need some help in setting up RAID to work on my system. Here is some preliminary information. ################################################## fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 6540 52428127+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 6541 13067 52428127+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 13068 19457 51327675 5 Extended /dev/sda5 13068 13328 2096451 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 13329 19457 49231161 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 14 6540 52428127+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 6541 13067 52428127+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb4 13068 19457 51327675 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 13068 13328 2096451 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sdb6 13329 19457 49231161 83 Linux ################################################## df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/dm-6 46G 1.6G 42G 4% / /dev/dm-1 99M 9.2M 85M 10% /boot tmpfs 473M 0 473M 0% /dev/shm /dev/dm-3 49G 181M 46G 1% /home /dev/dm-2 49G 233M 46G 1% /var any other questions please ask away. I had been told to use fdisk to change the ID of the drive and to make it a "Linux raid auto detect" and then do that on the other disk. That seemed to be okay, but then that was some instructions for raidtools2. mdadm I couldn't even get past the first one as it couldn't find sda5 or sdb5, it told me to use the swap partition is there is an increased chance of data loss with RAID 0, to use a partition that does hold any important data. so as you can see I am right now floating along and I need some help. If you have a better way I am all ears.

xorg, i810 and DPMS
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

People, I have a Centrino notebook with Intel 915GM video chipset, which uses the i810 xorg driver. However, DPMS is not working right. I configure KDE to turn off the display after 20 minutes of inactivity. The display turns itself off after this time, but then the backlight turns on again after 10 seconds or so and the screen remains blank. If I command "xset dpms force off", the same thing happens: the display turns off and the backlight turns on again after 10 seconds. "vbetool dpms off", however, works as expected. Option "dpms" is set to "on" in xorg.conf. Is this a bug or a misconfiguration? Thanks, Marcelo

Squid proxy
by Todd Simi 05 Nov '06

05 Nov '06

Hi, I've been using Squid w/squidGuard for some time now. I've always blocked port 80, and filtered ports 443 and 3128. Now my users have an application that is not proxy aware and I need to let it pass though port 80. Is there a way to configure squid to only allow passage though port 80 to one particular IP address? Thanks Todd
