daemon server using perl
by Gregory P. Ennis 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

Everyone, I would like to create a daemon server that could be used like sendmail, dovecot etc. I would like it to monitor a specified port for queries from a local network, and pass the queries to a database that is not mysql or postgresql, and return the results to the same port, I do not have experience in C so I would prefer to use perl. Can anyone point me to a tutorial? Thanks, Greg

How to rip a DVD
by Arthur Pemberton 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

Hello, I just received a DVD for a client that I need to post online. I was hoping someone here already has experience with DVD ripping in Fedora (ie. using tools available in Fedora repos) The end result will be an FLV file, however, I already know how to get from AVI to FLV, so I would appreciate any instructions/tips from getting from DVD disk to AVI or FLV. Thank you. Arthur Pemberton -- Fedora 7 : sipping some of that moonshine ( www.pembo13.com )

mouse and keyboard: no response
by Keith Hunt 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

This problem has plagued me through several different kernel versions of FC5, FC6, and FC7 and on two different physical machines. Intermittently, and apparently randomly, the system stops responding to both keyboard and mouse actions. This is my desktop workstation and normally runs X and KDE. I don't know if KDE is part of the problem. I used to run Gnome and I think I had the same problems. I can SSH in from another machine and don't see anything out of the ordinary. There is nothing in the logs. I am using USB mouse and keyboard, connected via a little USB switch so I can also use them with my laptop. When the problem occurs I have tried unplugging that and plugging them in directly. The logs show the standard disconnect and connect messages but the system still does not respond to them. Oh, I am also using an Nvidia graphics card with the binary driver from Nvidia. This problem has persisted through a number of iterations of that driver on different cards on different machines but I am sure someone will tell me that the evil Nvidia stuff is my problem :-) (who knows, maybe it is...) I also run Windows under VMware on this box. More evil stuff that is probably creating bad karma. Any suggestions for something else I could check? It is a pain to reboot or to restart X (which in most cases is pretty much equivalent to rebooting for my purposes). -- Keith

Inspiron 530 on f7
by David 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 530 with Ubuntu and made it dual boot Ubuntu/f7. There were a few quirks along the way, so I thought I'd shard them with this list. In the future, is there a better place to post this kind of info (eg, one where I can upload screenshots, etc)? It would be awesome if I could attach this kind of stuff to my smolt profile. Anyway, for now, here are some of my notes... First, I wanted to keep the factory Ubuntu installed, so I wanted to repartition the disk to make room for f7. In fact I made room for f8 as well. I bought the lowest end version I could get which came with a ~150G Ubuntu partition. I first tried to use the gparted live CD to repartition it, but it seemed to hang at some point. So I tried the f7 live CD that has gparted and that worked. I repartitioned the drive so it now looks like the following (originally sda6 was bigger and sda[78] didn't exist).: Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160000000000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19452 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 6 48163+ de Dell Utility /dev/sda2 7 268 2104515 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda3 * 269 293 200812+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 294 19452 153894667+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 294 455 1301233+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 456 6704 50195061 83 Linux /dev/sda7 6705 13078 51199123+ 83 Linux /dev/sda8 13079 19452 51199123+ 83 Linux Next, I downloaded the f7 DVD iso into a file on my Ubuntu partition and downloaded and burnt an f7 rescue disk (I didn't have any blank DVDs to burn, so I figured I'd do a hard drive install). I booted to the rescue disk and changed the boot options to have "askmethod" so I could do a hard drive install. The system paused for several minutes with a message having something to do with ata_piix then continued. But when I tried to select a hard drive install, it gave me some error about no device. So I tried an http install and it gave me the same error. It couldn't find my hard drive or my network card apparently. :( So I googled for a while and found to try adding irqpoll to the boot line. This worked for me and I was able to continue with my hard drive install. I did a custom installation of f7 onto /dev/sda7 to preserve Ubuntu and didn't install grub. After the install was completed, I modified the /grub/menu.lst on sda3 from Ubuntu to add f7 as a grub option. It would have been easier to just install grub from the f7 install, but I wanted to leave everything as close to factory as possible. So I added something like this to the end of menu.lst: title f7 (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7) root (hd0,6) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img This worked and I was able to boot into f7. The next problem was that the ethernet card was not detected!! Some more googling found a fedora forum page that pointed to directions to download a driver from Intel: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/printthread.php?t=162008 This worked and my new Dell is now dual boot Ubunto/f7. _________________________________________________________________ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.

Bash Karl
by Karl Larsen 28 Sep '07

I was interested when I was bashed because I told someone that F7 only comes in a DVD version. Others on this list piled on to say that you can get F7 on CD-Rom's from some unknown source. My position is that an answer should contain just what you KNOW even if it is wrong. For instance I know how to slit up your F7 into 3 partitions. It may not be what they need or want but my input will be based on actual fact. This does not bother some of you :-) -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 http://counter.li.org.

Alsamixer switches to different settings after reboot. How to fix?
by Gilbert Sebenste 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

Hello all, On Alsamixer, I tell it to capture sound via "MIC" and capture the "Master". After a reboot, however, it defaults to capturing "Line" instead of "mic", and turns off the capture to "Master", and thus an audio feed doesnt come up after reboot. It doesn't do this for 3 other machines I have. And I can't figure out why it does this on just this one. Any way I can fix this, or is it time for bugzillillillilla? ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** *******************************************************************************
