BackupPC on FC7
by Arch Willingham 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

BackupPC is a great program once you get it working but it is a nightmare to configure. The version that comes with the base install of FC7 is 2.x but you can now get 3.0x. I have been able to get it to install 50% of the time using the scripts (and the version that you download straight from http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/) and a cobbled together set of instructions from postings I found all over creation. Hoping it would be easier if I installed it straight from the normal repros, I tried that but it does not work. Has anyone gotten it to work from the normal repros? Thanks, Arch

iptables?
by Knute Johnson 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

#-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT #-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT #-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp --dport 5353 -d 224.0.0.251 -j ACCEPT #-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT #-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 631 -j ACCEPT These lines are in /etc/sysconfig/iptables by default. Is there a way with the GUI interface to remove them from the iptables setup? Why are they enabled by default? Port 50 has no entry in /etc/services, what is it for? Thanks very much, -- Knute Johnson Molon Labe...

Unreliable Fedora 7, Mysterious Crashes
by David Hough 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

I'm trying to work out what's wrong with one of my Fedora 7 systems. It suffers random seizures, sometimes completely locking up, other times apparently suffering partial lock-ups of one or two windows (as in they won't update the screen when clicked but others still work), followed shortly by a complete lock-up. Sometimes when locked up I can still ping it, although attempting ssh gets in but never provides a prompt (but see below). On reboot there's no clue in the syslog. The previous FC6 installation was rock-solid. Running a Xen kernel or VMWare (not on a Xen kernel) seems to guarantee a crash much faster than if I don't run either. Initial thoughts were about the Evil nVidia Binary Driver, but I swapped the graphics card for an ATI one and I still get lock-ups, so uninstalling the nVidia driver didn't fix it. I've left it running memtest overnight and it was quite happy. Another clue this morning was that I did manage to get an ssh shell from another machine, but it then objected to various commands with an input/output error. The machine spec is Fedora 7 on a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo running on an Abit AB9 Pro motherboard. 4GB RAM, currently an ATI HD2600 graphics card, previously an nVidia GS7600 card. Three SATA drives (independent, no RAID), a SATA DVD and a Brainbox dual serial card. It's been through several kernels with the problem, currently claiming to be 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 #1 SMP Thu Aug 30 13:47:21 EDT 2007 and everything else maintained using yum update. System temperatures seem to be fine, CPU runs about 50C even when exercised. I have Fedora 7 on a Dell laptop and an Athlon machine and they're both quite happy. I still sort of suspect the graphics driver but have no real proof of it.

How best get rid of SELinux?
by Beartooth 29 Sep '07

29 Sep '07

I keep it set to -- supposedly -- NON-enforcing, because of the warning in the installer against eliminating it; but it keeps making all kinds of trouble, anyway. Can I just command "yum remove selinux"? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.

But reinstall hint got me on the right track to understanding why one would separate things. So 4 partitions is max with 1 able to be partitioned again? That is a little confusing, partition a partition? Parted -l gives me 2 primary partitions but the first one starts at 32.3kb? [root@localhost ~]# parted -l Model: ATA SAMSUNG SV6003H (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 60.1GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 107MB 107MB primary ext3 boot 2 107MB 60.1GB 59.9GB primary lvm

How to get the most out of HD space.

Pretty much a partitioning question. 2 or 6 partitions? Usage and or benefit of higher lower number of partitions? Didn't Red Hat install multiply partitions in earlier versions?
