MDRaid 1 Recovery
by Law Barstow 03 May '09

03 May '09

Hello List, I'm having some issues with my mdraid. The system is Fedora 10, x86_64. I installed the system with two Seagate drives in a RAID 1 configuration. I let the configuration utility automatically setup the RAID configuration. I believe each drive is configured a single partition with this partition being part of the RAID device. About a week ago, device 0 reported errors and was dropped from the array by mdraid. The RAID continued in a degraded state with no problems. I finally had time to work on it so I shut down the PC and tried to run some disk drive utilities on it. The BIOS isn't even seeing the drive, so I'll RMA it to Seagate. Drive 0 is unplugged and not in the system, leaving Drive 1. When I try to boot, I get just a message of "GRUB". I'm assuming that my problem is that GRUB was installed to drive 0 and drive 0 was set to be my primary. I've tried booting to the FC10 Install media in recovery mode, but when it attempts to mount the device, I receive a message that the device must be initialized, which will cause a loss of all data. How do I resolve the problem booting to drive 1? Second, once I install my replacement device, how do I rebuild the array? I assume I'll need to some how get my current Drive 1 set to primary and then install the second drive, and use mdadm to add it. Thank you for your help Law

by Jim 02 May '09

FC10/KDE-4.2 xine-0.99.5-5.fc10.x86_64 To get sound working in Xine you have to "Show Controls" in Xine and increase volume to level you want. Each time you open Xine the volume is set to lowest setting, it won't hold it's last setting.

I do not need huge 3-d acceleration and stuff, but want it to work well. Please let me know if I should provide more information. Best wishes, Trotter

F9: Eclipse plug: Subversive SVN does not work?
by Dan Thurman 02 May '09

02 May '09

I have checked out my svn installation and I am able to access it via my webpage, and then proceeded to add the URI to the Eclipse SVN Repository plugin (not Team), and was left with this error: ========================================= SVN: '0x00400006: Validate Repository Location' operation finished with error: Selected SVN connector library is not available or cannot be loaded. If you selected native JavaHL connector, please check if binaries are available or install and select pure Java Subversion connector from the plug-in connectors update site. If connectors already installed then you can change the selected one at: Window->Preferences->Team->SVN->SVN Client. Selected SVN connector library is not available or cannot be loaded. If you selected native JavaHL connector, please check if binaries are available or install and select pure Java Subversion connector from the plug-in connectors update site. If connectors already installed then you can change the selected one at: Window->Preferences->Team->SVN->SVN Client. How can I resolve this problem?

F10: Eclipse SVN Subversion does not seem to have authorization (user/pass) support?
by Dan Thurman 02 May '09

02 May '09

F10 seems to be running Eclipse v3.4.1, and to my surprise, SVN Repository Perspective does not seem to have the authorization entries for those who need it? I have no place to enter the name and password in order to open my repository!

Virtualization for Beginner
by das 02 May '09

02 May '09

Hello Friends As a member of a local linux group called GLT, a few different distros of GNU-Linux we have to handle. One or two versions of each Fedora, Ubuntu, and OpenSuse. Earlier, I installed more than one Linux on the HD just for getting some suggestion when someone is in problem. Gradually, due to the UUID and all this is becoming problemsome. One brute way out is to rewrite 'fstab' with device-names in place of UUID-s. But people say these days a lot of applications read the UUID-s, so this may get problemsome. So, after some friends suggested, I now want to go into virtualization. And I know nothing. I have a really huge amount of HD space, and 4GB memory. And my CPU has the virtualization flags. I am myself using Fedora 11 Beta and I want to have virtual installations of Ubuntu and OpenSuse on my system. Can you people please suggest me from where to start, some good documentation, and not too technical. We are a Linux-User group, mainly teachers in profession. Thanking You -- দাশ das http://ddts.randomink.org/
