bind gets confused after a reboot
by Sam Varshavchik 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

I've had this minor annoyance for a while. After a reboot, bind (which is running in a chroot jail) does not seem to come up cleanly after a reboot. It responds to queries for its master zones, but does not respond to any recursive query. I have to stop it and start it again, and then it's fine. This only happens when I reboot. I used to think that the network card simply hasn't finished initializing itself when bind starts up, so it just drops all recursive queries, on the floor, until it decides to try the root servers again. So, I put in a script to ping my router, and it runs just before named. I can see that the script ran and succesfully pinged the router one second before named started, but it still refused to respond to recursive queries, until I restarted it again. This is a headless box, and the annoyance factor hasn't reached the point where I'd get motivated to start tearing everything apart. Anyone seen this behavior from bind, before? There's nothing in /var/log/messages from named that indicates any explicit error.

FC5 Bonding problem
by Dimitar Dragoev 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

Hi I'm trying to setup network bonding active/backup linked to two switches. Below are my configuration files: /etc/modprobe.conf alias bond0 bonding options bond0 mode=1 arp_interval=1000 arp_ip_target=192.168.000.161 primary=eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 DEVICE=bond0 IPADDR=192.168.0.164 NETWORK=192.168.0.160 NETMASK=255.255.255.224 USERCTL=no BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet DEVICE=eth0 USERCTL=no ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" ETH1 almost same configuration. Now some outputs: Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.0.3 (March 23, 2006) Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup) Primary Slave: eth0 Currently Active Slave: eth0 MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 0 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 ARP Polling Interval (ms): 1000 ARP IP target/s (n.n.n.n form): 192.168.0.161 Slave Interface: eth0 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 2 Permanent HW addr: 00:0d:60:14:a7:a6 Slave Interface: eth1 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 11 Permanent HW addr: 00:0d:60:14:a7:a7 bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:60:14:A7:A6 inet addr:192.168.0.164 Bcast:192.168.0.191 Mask:255.255.255.224 inet6 addr: fe80::20d:60ff:fe14:a7a6/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MASTER MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:111363 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:44126 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:10541104 (10.0 MiB) TX bytes:4321353 (4.1 MiB) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:60:14:A7:A6 inet6 addr: fe80::20d:60ff:fe14:a7a6/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:66381 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:43098 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:6591933 (6.2 MiB) TX bytes:3847632 (3.6 MiB) Interrupt:185 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:60:14:A7:A6 inet6 addr: fe80::20d:60ff:fe14:a7a6/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:44982 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1028 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3949171 (3.7 MiB) TX bytes:473721 (462.6 KiB) Interrupt:193 Now here is my problem: When I physically disconnect eth0 everything works fine and all traffic flow via eth1 Second case eth0 has link up but not have access to default gateway 192.168.0.161 (for example access list or switch failure) eth0 goes down and eth1 which is ok try's to go up but w/o cusses. In the message log I can see only this: bonding: bond0: backup interface eth1 is now down bonding: bond0: backup interface eth1 is now up bonding: bond0: backup interface eth1 is now down bonding: bond0: backup interface eth1 is now up bonding: bond0: backup interface eth1 is now down bonding: bond0: backup interface eth1 is now up However exactly same setup works fine with REL 4.2 I suppose this can be a bug in FC5?

I compile and make xine lib and ui myself, thus I don't have to worry about rpm problems. I highly recommend building it oneself. I will use the rpms from the repos if a FC distro is brand new and lib or ui doesn't compile on it. Currently 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 and 0.99.4 compile just fine on FC6. OT: I was using Totem-xine from livna, but the xine-lib was giving me problems, so I yum installed Totem-xine (resolves lib), then rpm -e the libs after and it uses the libs I compiled. Stephen

NVidia TNT2 AGP 128-BIT 3D Graphics Card And Compiz
by Jeffrey D. Yuille 24 Dec '06

24 Dec '06

Hello, I recently installed an Nvidia tnt2 agp 128-bit graphics card in my computer. I have Fedora Core 6 installed on a Dell Dimension xps t600r desktop. I know that this is an old desktop and video card but I was told that I could still get the desktop effects that comes with Fedora Core 6. I tried to use desktop effects with this card but when I try to enable it, it states that "Desktop Effects Could not be Started." or something to that effect. Are there special drivers that I need to download for the NVidia card,or is it that the computer is too old to use the Desktop Effects? -- Jeffrey D.

cron miss-fire
by Gene Heskett 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

Greetings; I didn't get any mail from amanda this morning, and no record in the log of the script having been run at 1:01 this morning. So I called up kcron, highlighted the command line, pulled down the edit menu and told it to run it. It appears to be running as expected although the shell where I launched kcron reported the root catcher exit of the first call in that script, a call to amcheck. This should not be, and should be bugzilla'd against kcron because it did not become amanda before launching the script, and parts of amanda that the script calls will fail because of that. Which bugzilla do I use? But the real question is: Why didn't it run it at the set time this morning? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Compaq iPAQ interface with FC6?
by Bob Goodwin 23 Dec '06

23 Dec '06

I have a hand held computer plugged into the usb port but this is as far as it goes apparently. nothing shows on the desktop display as is the usual case with a few other things I have tried. The user keeps information in it that he would like to exchange with an FC6 desktop computer if possible. This is a Compaq iPAQ model 3970 and appears to run a version of Windows. Any suggestions as to what to do next will be appreciated. lsusb Bus 001 Device 004: ID 049f:0003 Compaq Computer Corp. iPAQ PocketPC Bus 001 Device 002: ID 03f0:0701 Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 5300c/5370c Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 A google search indicated that others have installed Linux on some of these iPAQ's but I would prefer not to do that unless it is an absolute necessity and perhaps not then? I might convince him he doesn't need it ... Thanks. Bob Goodwin -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
