HELP!!!!! FC7 server won't boot - library problems
by Gary Stainburn 06 May '08

06 May '08

Help. One of my servers is down and I'm stuck. It's a FC7 installation that started playing up on Friday. Tried rebooting it yesterday remotely and it wouldn't boot. Now I'm on-site and I've got the following on-screen. I've booted up using the DVD, and done an e2fsck on the volume and it gave no errors. Booting 'Fedora (2.6.23.15-80.fc7) root(hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.15-80.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x2c00, size=0x1df440] initrd /initrd-2.6.23.15-80.fc7.img [Linux-initrd @ 0x1dc7f000, 0x36cef4 bytes] Uncompressing L:inux... Ok, booting the kernel. ACPI: Invalid PBLK length [5] Red Hat nash version 6.0.9 starting Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...

At this point it hangs. If I boot into recovery mode using the DVD I can use lvm to access the volumes, but chroot fails because it cannot start /bin/sh on the chrooted fs for the same reason. Can anyone give me a clue where to go next.

redirecting output in cron job not working
by Mark Haney 06 May '08

06 May '08

Okay, I've seen this problem off and on for a year or two now and while it's not a problem, it's certainly annoying. I have several cron jobs that run every 3 hours over the course of a day. They are setup to direct output to the logs like this: /root/check_mounts.sh /mnt/m 10.5.0.100:/mnt/host-m/ 2>&1 and for about six months, I was getting mails sent to me with empty output. Which I didn't need, since it is only supposed to email with a problem. However, for the last year or so, cron has been handling the jobs as it should, empty output doesn't get emailed to me. Now, however, it's doing it again. This is a FC6 box and it's been untouched as far as reboots/upgrades go, so what's causing cron to do this?

Gee, Fedora people must ignore their logs.
by jdow 06 May '08

06 May '08

Since nobody has whined about this yet I suppose somebody must. So consider this an official whine. For the last week or so I've been getting log messages about updating to clamav 0.93 from 0.92.1. I just searched the updates and updates/testing for both 7, which I am running, and 8. There is nary a sign of clamav 0.93. Tsk tsk, gentlemen. Please do get on it. And to those of you who've been ignoring your logs - shame on you. {^_^} Joanne

Saving or converting HTML online form as a .pdf or .txt file
by Nigel Henry 06 May '08

06 May '08

I'm trying to get birth certificates for my children, using forms on the Internet. One was ok. I filled in the form online, with a question about payment, as I'm in France, and the children were born in the UK. They then sent back a .pdf of the filled in form requesting the birth certificate, which I can send by snail mail with the money. For my other child the form for requesting a birth certificate was an HTML one. I could print it off ok, but my handwriting is getting a bit shaky, and didn't want any misreading of the address to send the birth certificate to. I've never messed with HTML before, but opened OO on fc2 (which is quite ancient, version-1.1.3) , opened the HTML page, which I'd saved to disk, and was able to add the requested info to the form. I then saved it as HTML, and printed it off again. Printing the page from the website gave me 2 pages. the first was the request for a birth certificate, and the 2nd, just a few lines saying "Print out this form", and where to send the money. After opening the page in OO, and adding the requested info, loads of lines were added, and now when printing out the saved as HTML document, I end up with 3 pages, 2 1/4 of which contain the original single page for the certificate request form. Now I'm not into directly editing the HTML, and adding the required info, but may have a go, just for experience, but is there a way to save an HTML form to disk, and then convert it to a .pdf, which I can deal with using pdfedit. I tried saving the HTML file when opened in OO as a .txt file, but that's a no go. The info is there, but the layout of the form is lost. When I print the document from the website, it prints correctly, and perhaps I'm losing the plot here, but is there a way to, instead of sending the document to the printer, and getting a hard copy, I can somehow print the doc, and save it on the harddrive? This way I could then add the requested info to the doc, and then print it out on my printer. This is all a bit academic, but would be nice to get some feedback. Thanks for any replies. Dealing with bureaucracy and old age is a bit of a nightmare. Nigel.

NM - where are the docs?
by Timothy Murphy 06 May '08

06 May '08

I should be happy that NetworkManager has been working flawlessly on all my machines for a couple of months now. Previously I had to go through a bizarre sequence of operations to get it working, taking my PCMCIA card in and out, re-starting NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher services, occasionally having to re-boot the machine. Some recent NM update seems to have cured all the problems. But I am still somewhat dissatisfied, because I don't like magic. I have no idea _how_ NM is working, and I don't see any documentation on my system to help me understand. I've no idea what NetworkManagerDispatcher is supposed to do, or what, if anything, should be in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ . Is there a NetworkManager FAQ or tutorial somewhere?

firefox high cpu
by Srikanth Konjarla 06 May '08

All, For some time i am experiencing the high cpu rate on Firefox (2.0.0.14, Fedora 8) with some sites (sites with flash are always high on cpu and crash sometimes). I have done the following to find out what is going on when firefox is high on cpu. # ps -p 27727 -mlfFL F S UID PID PPID LWP C NLWP PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN RSS PSR STIME TTY TIME CMD 0 - srikanth 27727 27722 - 5 13 - - - 99974 - 132048 - 15:43 ? 00:19:31 /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14/firefox-bin 0 S srikanth - - 27727 4 - 80 0 - - - - 1 15:43 - 00:14:41 - 1 S srikanth - - 27728 0 - 80 0 - - - - 0 15:43 - 00:00:00 - 1 S srikanth - - 27729 0 - 80 0 - - - - 0 15:43 - 00:00:08 - 1 S srikanth - - 27731 0 - 80 0 - - - - 0 15:43 - 00:00:00 - 1 S srikanth - - 27732 0 - 80 0 - - - - 0 15:43 - 00:00:00 - 1 S srikanth - - 27733 0 - 80 0 - - - - 0 15:43 - 00:00:00 - 1 S srikanth - - 27827 0 - 80 0 - - - - 0 15:43 - 00:00:00 - 1 S srikanth - - 5540 0 - 80 0 - - - - 0 19:40 - 00:00:00 - 1 S srikanth - - 15572 68 - 80 0 - - - - 1 21:37 - 00:04:02 - 1 S srikanth - - 15573 0 - 80 0 - - - - 0 21:37 - 00:00:00 - 1 S srikanth - - 15574 0 - 80 0 - - - - 0 21:37 - 00:00:00 - 1 S srikanth - - 15702 0 - 80 0 - - - - 1 21:39 - 00:00:00 - 1 S srikanth - - 15775 0 - 80 0 - - - - 1 21:41 - 00:00:00 - As per the above output the thread with LWP 15572 has the following from pstack output.

X: attempt to access private resource?
by Tom Horsley 06 May '08

06 May '08

Is this an X bug, an ssh bug, or what? I often ssh with X11 forwarding into other systems, and with depressing regularity I get X errors the first time I run gtk apps like gedit, synaptic, etc: The program 'synaptic' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'. (Details: serial 442 error_code 10 request_code 148 minor_code 5) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) If I immediately try to run the exact same app a second time, it works perfectly. Anyone seen anything like this? Anyone know what is going on? My host system I am running ssh from is always a fedora 8 system because that is what is on my desktops, so I can't say if it happens with other kinds of hosts or not. Sometimes I don't get that error right away, but the app will come up and things like icons will be missing, then I'll get a similar error a little later (perhaps when trying to popup some dialog). Should I be trying ssh -Y instead of ssh -X (which my fingers type from reflex)? I have to say I have no idea what the man page is talking about with the difference between -X and -Y.

let others connect to your machine but see what they are doing?
by Valent Turkovic 06 May '08

06 May '08

http://serverlinux.blogspot.com/2007/04/configure-ttysnoop-with-ssh-in-suse… I saw an article above aboute ttysnoop so that you can ie. let fedora devels connect to your box but see what they are doing. Of course this is only one example... I don't see ttysnoop package in fedora so is there another way to do this on fedora boxes?
