Postfix 'localhost' in originating email address
by Stuart Murray-Smith 02 May '06

02 May '06

Greetings list Platform: FC4 Package(s): Postfix 2.2.2, Dovecot 0.99.14 I've iterated... I've Googled... and now posting ;-) When emailing from the above stand-alone internet email server, the originating email addy renders as: user(a)localhost.d0main.tld Where does the 'localhost' in localhost.d0main.tld come from? I've also hashed out the $myorigin reference to localhost in: /etc/postfix/main.cf.default, // which I know shouldn't be done but needed to prove that Postfix wasn't loading this var from main.cf.default as the preferred default And even after restarting Postfix, ~ /usr/sbin/postconf -d | grep -i 'localhost' still reports: mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost Also: -----8<----------8<----------8<----- ~ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.10 h0st.d0main.tld h0st -----8<----------8<----------8<----- ~ cat /etc/postfix/main.cf myhostname = h0st.d0main.tld mydomain = d0main.tld myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain mynetworks_style = host mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 -----8<----------8<----------8<----- I'd appreciate any insight into this. TiA Blessings, Stuart -- Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Apparently, there is a driver fix from Dell for some of their laptops. Since I no longer have this Laptop, I can't remember the fix, but it is available on the Dell web site... It has to deal with the DSL Modem that is being used... Ed Gurski

RAID and FC5 Installation Problems
by Hassan Dar 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hi everyone. I've been having endless headaches with the FC5 installation. I've managed to get most of them sorted but I'm now really stumped. Well I was having the common problem of the install hanging at the X Server screen with a black background and 'X' Cursor. I used the 'linux nodmraid' at the boot prompt and it successfully got me to the GUI. However, I am trying to install on a RAID 0 partition and as you can see, if I use 'nodmraid' I can't activate my RAID partition for the installer to see. I'm at a loss for what to do I can't see any other option as dmraid would be needed to actually show RAID files but at the same time I need to get to the GUI Installer! Here are a few things to note: Text install DOES NOT WORK It has the same problem as the GUI install, it works only if I use 'nodmraid'. I have tried the 'linux vesa' command which is a common fix to the black screen and x cursor problem. However, If I boot with this command, when X server starts up my monitor gives a 'No Signal' message. I am installing the x86_64 release of FC5 and I DO have a 64-bit processor. All 6 discs of my installation media have been SHA1SUM verified and are all complete. I burned the media first as a simulation at the slowest speed possible on my drive (8x 1,200kb/s) and then I used nero to verify the data. Passes all tests. With DMA turned off (with the ide=nodma command) the CD media all pass the mediacheck test. I have been trying to do a Hard Drive install but can burn the discs if this will cause complications. I have tried running the dmraid -v -ay command as soon as the GUI appears, but this does not do anything. I have two RAID 0 Arrays, Array 1 is comprised of two identical 160GB Seagate SATA drives, Array 2 is comprised of three identical 40GB Seagate IDE/ATA Drives. I do not wish to install anything on the SATA RAID array as it is for storage only, I wish to install fedora core on the IDE/ATA Array. Both of these Arrays work fine under Windows XP Professional so I know my Arrays are fine. My RAID is configured by the onboard nForce 4 RAID controller also known as software or fake RAID. I have used the 'dmraid -v -ay' command and then used 'ls /dev/mapper/' to verify my drives were all there, linux correctly indentifies them with this command. Here are my system specs: Processor: AMD Opteron 148 - Venus Core (64-Bit Processor) RAM: 1024MB PC3200 DDR RAM Video Card: ATI RADEON x800GTO2 Motherboard: MSI K8N Neo4-F (nForce 4 Chipset) SATA Hard Drive: 2x Seagate Barracuda 160GB (RAID 0 Array 1) ATA Hard Drive: 3x Seagate 40GB (RAID 0 Array 2) Monitor: Acer 19" Widescreen LCD (1440x900 Native Res) I posted a few threads on Fedora Forums which might a give a bit more insight into the problem: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=107352 and http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=107567 I would be very grateful to anyone who could help me, I've posted on fedora forums but no one was able to help me sort it out. I have also tried the fedora IRC community who also could not help me. Thank you for your time.

How to verify transmission quality & cables on gigabit network?
by Rob 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hello, I have a cluster, master + 8 nodes, connected via a Netgear Gigabit Ethernet Switch (model JGS516). The cables are of CAT5 type. Elsewhere I read that for a gigabit network, one should use CAT6 type cables, to avoid bad transmissions. Is that so? I already have done basic speed checks, that indicate a throughput of about 0.5 Gbps. Hence the network appears to operate on half of its spec. speed. Question 1: Should I worry about this reduced speed? Question 2: How to check the transmission quality? Should I inspect the output of "/sbin/ifconfig eth0" for errors/dropped/overruns/collisions etc. in the RX/TX lines? Lan card info: master: Tigon3 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet tg3: eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX. nodes: Realtek RTL8169 eth0: Auto-negotiation Enabled. eth0: 1000Mbps Full-duplex operation. Thanks for advice and help! Rob. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Gangaraju, The irqbalance daemon is changing the affinity values. It is safe to stop it.

how to disable lid events in kernel (acpi)
by Paul Johnson 01 May '06

01 May '06

My Dell D800 latitude appears to have a buggy lid switch. Sometimes when the lid is closed, the sleeping laptop wakes up. I would like to tell ACPI to ignore all lid events, but cannot understand how to do it without removing acpi altogether. I don't want to do that, because suspend is otherwise working fine now. I understand I could remove the kernel's "button" module, but then I'd lose the power button, which I need to wake up the laptop. Basically, I just wish I could change the LID status in ACPI, so enabled changes to disabled in this output below. # cat /proc/acpi/wakeup Device Sleep state Status LID 3 * enabled PBTN 4 * enabled PCI0 3 disabled USB0 1 disabled USB1 1 disabled USB2 1 disabled USB3 1 disabled MODM 3 disabled PCIE 4 disabled Any advice. -- Paul E.

Dell 2405FP
by Richard Emberson 01 May '06

01 May '06

In the FC5 'Display settings' tool one can find the Dell 2405FP as one of the listed displays. If one googles some one finds folks having problems configuring their 2405FP with fedora. Before I buy such a display I'd like to know if one can actually use it in its full 1920x1200 digital mode with FC5. Any video card recommendations?
